Since it bears saying it again:
1. Don& #39;t throw around the term "fujoshi" if you don& #39;t know what it actually means. Research its real meaning before using it.
2. Don& #39;t join the fandom of a bl story (as mxtx& #39;s novels are) and then be surprised that there& #39;s bl fans in it.
3. Don& #39;t assume the identity of bl fans. Don& #39;t immediately think they& #39;re straight cis white women, because you& #39;ll find that most of them actually aren& #39;t. And even if they are, there& #39;s very few that fit the stereotype of a homophobic fan who wouldn& #39;t support real lgbt+ people.
If you believe that BL as a genre has problems, then I invite you to examine them through thoughtful critique. This means researching the history of the tropes and the place a story takes in the broader context of BL and romance. The lens of a theoretical framing might also help.
Actual critique also doesn& #39;t attack readers nor authors for what they like, because it& #39;s important to recognize that there are as many different human experiences as there are people in the world. *Attacking* is never the point; *understanding* is.
