Alrighty, so I& #39;ve seen a shit ton of misinformation of what a fujoshi actually is and I& #39;m kinda tired of it.
It was an insult coined by the board 2chan and then reclaimed by Japanese women who enjoyed reading boys love manga.
“Fujoshi (腐女子, lit. "rotten girl") is a self-mockingly pejorative (expressing contempt or disapproval(negative connotation)) Japanese term for female fans of manga and novels that feature romantic relationships between men.”
It seems here the term has bad rep, however, in Japan, Fujoshi isn& #39;t really a negative term. In fact, most yaoi is actually catered towards women. Being gay was more normalized in Japan because yaoi was so popular.
A lot of people think fujoshi& #39;s sexualize mlm, while some do, most don& #39;t. It& #39;s just a term for women who like yaoi. Just like every fandom, fujoshi& #39;s have their bad apples. So don& #39;t go immediately assuming that every fujoshi is bad. Fujoshi is literally like the term Otaku.
So are fujoshi& #39;s bad? No, they shouldn& #39;t be. Do they sexualize mlm? No, but unfortunately some do. Fujoshi& #39;s are fine, unless they sexualize mlm. This includes, when you apply what you read in these yaoi& #39;s to actual mlm. Looking at a gay couple and your thoughts immediately
Being sexual. So ladies, and non mlm, don& #39;t feel so ashamed about reading yaoi/bl. You& #39;re totally fine, unless you sexualize mlm. Otherwise no one should be shaming you, if they do, just send them this thread. If you wanna use the term fujoshi, go right ahead
