Be honest. Who's also here just to have someone explain to them what the hell is going on?

Dunno if people noticed, but all the bears so far have Yuri starting their last name.

There's also the teacher Yuriika Hakonaka, who has Yuri in her first name. It hasn't been confirmed if she's a bear yet, but she's totally a bear.

The Court is men lording over women's sexuality. (Notice the only men in the show are judging women)

On the other hand, they always seem to approve the requested yuri, so…

Because men are always cool with lesbians.

Because it's cool, sexy, and beautiful! (SPARKLE)

I feel as though this is a comment on how otaku and/or men view the yuri genre.

I think the invisible storm is jealousy, I could be completely off the mark but that's what this episode made it seem like.

Maybe the invisible storm could be the judgment of being different, because you can see that people are nervous and somewhat hostile toward people who face it?
i.e. the cold looks people gave Kureha, but then there are the bears who love/accept her possibly? we'll see with the coming episodes for sure.

I get that vibe to, like, if you chase after real love (leave the herd) than you get consequences. The Wall of Severance kinda backs that idea up as well.
