If they are not going to respect what Yuri means they should rename the tag to female_on_female or something.
Yes, I know I shouldn't had used that term, but, I needed something to describe when girls are actually on each other. It is something that you can notice in the picture.
The problem with this way of thinking is that it prioritises strict, literal definitions over making the tags useful for users. The word yuri is used for the tag because it's catchy and easily understandable by those who are expected to use the site. "female_on_female" is not catchy and bound to open a can of worms for other tags.
If I search for yuri+ass_grab, then I expect post #280353 to be in that search result. Otherwise I would have to search for something like ass_grab+multiple_girls-futanari-hetero-1boy-*_boys (and hetero and boy tags are commonly not tagged at all). It is simply more useful to tag all pictures with girls interacting sexually with each other as yuri to make them easily searchable.
As for your idea of pictures with girls "into each other", that could be solved by using a tag like couple, which implies emotional intimacy.
Conversely, the cases where I think girls "being into each other" should be taken into account is when tagging bisexual_female. In this point, I disagree with BRANLIX2000 about those pics being tagged bisexual_female, because the sexual contact between the girls is incidental.
This does not contradict my previous point, it's merely a logical extension of the view that tags should be used when useful. When someone searches for bisexual_female. what they are looking for is the specific subset of pictures that show females being into guys and gals at the same time, and thus the use of the tag wouldn't be useful if the results are the same as that of an ffm_threesome search.
