I miss being a baby otaku! Those were the days when everything was a masterpiece to me, when I cried at the end of every anime regardless of if it was happy or sad, when I didn't distinguish between genres but simply watched whatever caught my eye.

is anyone here NOT a fujo/fundanshi (for the sake of my question, i'm considering anyone who regularly reads yaoi a fujo/fudan). so far, every profile i've clicked is filled with only yaoi and some shoujo if i'm lucky. feels like i'm the only non-bl lover around
