I am an African American Researcher (anthropologist) and I decided to do my research on the lovely fujou's and fudan's and are love for BL and GL (Yes I'm including this genre too) If you're interested I'll be asking a series of questions here. You don't need to answer anything you don't want. I'm not gonna ask your name because that's too personal just your country if you're a Fujou, fudan, or fu-them. I'd prefer those who are above the age of 18 cause those are the ones I will be mainly looking at but if you're not you can answer here as well but I won't be using your information. If you decide to answer the questions I assume I have your consent to do my research with you involved. I will not be using any other social media form and share any information you divulge here. And if you have more personal stories you wish to tell about your relationships of being a fujou, fudan, or fu-them I'll give you my line account and we can talk there.

Don't feel that you have to answer these in the way I formatted it. These are just some questions that I have but if you have something you really want to say feel free to say it. I will not judge that is not my job. I just want to hear your opinion and your thoughts and write about them. Considering this community which I'm fully proud of being apart of a female black woman who lives in America and is a proud fujoshi some might not feel the same way and I think this is a very powerful group it's just seen as fangirls and boys and not seen positively. If you have any questions for me. I'll be looking at this page often. And if you want my Line account to talk in private that's also totally fine just request it and I'll give it to ya. (I would put it in now but since I'm in class typing this I cannot leave my class and look it up.)
Thank you all again to those who will answer and I hope you all have a wonderful day, evening, or night.
