Yuri on the Chalkboard

Yuri on the Chalkboard -- NSFW! A student at a certain university has gotten in the habit of leaving a chalk drawing in a certain room once a week. Photos of each are preserved on the artist's blog.
For those who don't know, "yuri" is the Japanese slang term for lesbianism.

I wonder if we killed it? Sorry, it was working before I posted it.

I would be slightly weirded out that someone was going to so much trouble to draw (very young-looking) anime girls having sex on my chalkboard. Yes, there are some things that would be much worse, but this is just a little bit creepy.

No offense, but just what the fuck is up with Yuri? How is it not weird in this public context? How is it different than softcore lesbian porn? Am I just too old? Just too conservative?
And why leave these strange blackboard sketches as "surprises" for the neuroscience class after finishing your "anime club"?

It worked for me. I was amused by the professor's reaction.

Members of the class who are in anime club are quietly stroking out behind their laptop lids.
Euhgh.

Because this guy is really childish.

Yuri is also japanese for "lily".. is there some sort of Georgia O'Keefe style connection between the word and this connotation?

Yes, it sure would be a nice surprise to find someone had drawn pin-up art on the blackboard. No one could possibly be offended in any way by softcore lesbians drawn for the enjoyment of the male gaze.
Look, draw it on the blackboard all you want, but then erase it afterward, for pity's sake. It's hardly uncivilized to not expect others to put up with your wank material.
