Thread about the meaning of and history behind the word fujoshi.

This thread was originally written and posted by Ouyasumi29. He has asked me to repost this under my account since he has left discourse twitter.

Since some people don't seem to get it:

>“Fujoshi” 腐女子/ rotten woman is a homophonous pun on 婦女子(fujoshi)/respectable wife, replacing the 婦/fu character for “married woman” with 腐 / “rotten” or “fermented”.

Just for clarification, when I said that fujoshi could refer to female fans of girl’s love, I’m talking about in the past. While it’s used today almost exclusively to refer to female fans of boy’s...

> “Fujoshi” was coined on 2channel specifically to complain about inclusivity in newer series, and lack of male gaze, ecchi, pantyshots and harem shows in the current lineups, blaming “fujoshi writers” for the ‘increase’ in gay anime shows. https://rottenboysclub.tumblr.com/post/170419501879/intersexgaysatanofficial-golbatgender-saw

FUJOSHI IS NOT A SLUR. It began as a misogynistic insult towards women. It has since been reclaimed.

If you find a fujoshi making you uncomfortable, you refer to them as the inconsiderate type, or just plain ol' homophobic.

Multiple queer men, including JPN queer men that participate in transformative fandom have stated that there's nothing wrong with women reading slash and having m/m ships.

Fujoshi DOES. NOT. MEAN. A STRAIGHT WOMAN THAT FETISHIZES GAY MEN. Please stop spreading this painful misinformation. Fujoshi merely means a woman (regardless of sexuality) who is a fan of m/m content. That's literally it.

"Fudanshi" 腐男子means a male fan of m/m content.

I suggested something like 腐人 in a previous post as well. Obviously it’s used by some fujoshi because of the pun on the word 婦人 (where the fu character is ‘wife’), but it can be a gender neutral...

For anti-fujo angry at this thread because I'm a woman, friendly reminder that Ouyasumi29/Tsuyu, who authored this thread, is not. I simply reposted this for him because he left discourse twt and asked me to repost it.

He also sent me this message and ask me to post it too.
