It really gets under my skin when non Asian people use the term fujoshi bc 99% of the time they miss the point entirely.
And that’s not helpful if you really want to be progressive and all. It doesnt help the Asian (primarily Japanese) lgbtq+ community and their need for escapism

Anyways, don’t call non Asian people fujoshi if what you really mean is “non MLM that fetishize MLM relationships”
I’m tired of the cultural misunderstandings.

When you dismiss BL as content being made for and by straight women you probably are dismissing the fact those women aren’t straight, or not even women since expressing yourself as lgbtq+ is illegal in many places. (cont.)
It’s okay to call out fetishisation of a community but you gotta ask yourself is it really fetishization, or discreet expression

If things have changed and any Japanese people wanna correct me then feel free!
I’m just venting from my side as a mixed Asian person who has seen other Asian ppl people harassed for their content and being called fujoshi when theyre sometimes queer themselves but not open abt it

I should add that when non asian people partake in this misinterpretations (eg calling other non asian cishet women "fujoshi") even (and especially while) knowing the history and context, it's cultural revisionism, which is a big fucking yikes. don't be a dumbass.
@ the mlm fetishists finding this and using it to defend themselves: there is a difference between enjoying MLM content and making us your fetish! Don't think I'm defending *your* actions, because I'm *not*.
All I'm doing is clearing up a cultural divide. Not excusing your shit.

Let me make this ABUNDANTLY clear. This thread is for the self proclaimed "fujoshi" whose only personality trait is fetishizing mlm ships and the people who have a stigma against the word alike. It's meant for Everyone who misinterprets the word
