The thing is that in the West there seems to be no difference between this romantic idealization and lesbian sexuality, that is why in many anime you see how a group of girls blush and idolize another girl (usually a senpai) without implying that they are lesbians or the cliche of the girl so attractive that she looks like a prince, they idealize that idea, but not for that reason they do not lose notion of reality and that this is only a fantasy and it is difficult to transfer the concept to the West.
*As in any culture, homosexual relationships exist, only that in Japan their perception has different nuances.
