any mlm or masc nblm wanna share their opinions on fujoshis or people who consume BL in general that aren't mlm/nblm themselves? (i think there's a difference between fetishizing for the former and just consuming it as a genre for the latter hence why i specified) +

i'm just surprised because despite the source material of my dp, i do think it's gross for cishetallo women to fetishize and objectify mlm/masc nblm. and i have friends who feel very similarly. and cishetallo women make up a good majority of the BL consumers +

which even led to the term "fujoshi" being coined. i dunno. something about CHA women calling themselves "rotten girls" for being turned on by gay men mirroring the mindset "love the sinners hate the sin" just feels very disgusting to me personally. & also the fact that this +

tends to objectify mlm/masc nblm. but apparently my cousin who's mlm doesn't mind this and it just really surprised me. so i wanna hear from other mlm/masc nblm abt their opinions on this topic. also hello to my cous in case he sees this HAHA. i hope someone responds. +

also just wanna clarify that i think consuming BL as a genre isn't inherently gross. BL should be normalized. but i think that's when fujoshis come in that it starts becoming unnormalized and uncomfortable bc then you're fetishizing them and looking at m/m relationships +

like they exist just for the consumption of people who get off to it. and it feels very slimey, esp if said BL consumers are homophobic. you're literally only "accepting" of m/m relationships when you get to get off on it. that's gross.

ok i changed my dp so a part of this thread probs won't make sense, but it used to be nifuji naoya from wotakoi because i love him
