Frequently Asked Questions
What is GL?
GL stands for Girls Love, a genre of romantic fiction focusing on female/female relationships. Also known as yuri in anime/manga communities and sapphic romance in Western markets. GL has grown significantly in popularity through Korean manhwa and Western indie games.
What is the difference between GL and yuri?
Both terms refer to F/F romance content. 'Yuri' originated in Japanese anime/manga communities and is still widely used. 'GL' (Girls Love) has grown internationally through Korean manhwa influence. 'Sapphic' is the preferred term in many Western communities, especially on platforms like TikTok.
What does sapphic mean?
Sapphic refers to women who are attracted to other women, derived from the ancient Greek poet Sappho. The term is inclusive of lesbians, bisexual women, pansexual women, and other WLW (women-loving-women). It's become the preferred term in many online communities for F/F romance content.
Why is GL content so hard to find?
GL/sapphic games are severely underrepresented in mobile gaming. Most quality GL content exists as premium PC visual novels. SideHop aims to change this by offering mobile-first sapphic romance stories with innovative face-swap technology.
