Fujoshi means someone who reads explict bl aka yaoi. Not mlm. It's upto you if you want to call yourself a fujo or not. But I won't label myself with a word that has such a problematic fandom behind it. Like do you really need a name that clarifies you read gay porn? reply
it's when someone thinks that lgbtq couples are just doing it for the sexy time and not because they could actually romantically fall in love with them so some people just see gay couples as a kink.
it's extremely disgusting because some straight people will say shit like- "I could turn you straight" or "you just need to find the right woman/man....... 2 reply
i dont think u should worry about anything. "fujoshi" is just a term, if u think ppl will judge u for it then dont call urself that. also imo its not like all "fujoshis" feteshize mlm, but its true that whoever fetishizes mlm is a fujoshi...if that makes sense? 1 reply
I'm a bi/pan girl reading mlm, and no I do read other genres. I don't get off to it/fetishize it/ship ppl irl/hate lesbians. I think I am a fujoshi because fujoshi means a women reading mlm. I don't think it has anything to do with fetishizing mlm. I read a post somewhere that all fujoshis are messed up in the head (??) or something, which I personally don't . Is it true? What are your thoughts on this? Ps please don't judge me because of my username, I couldn't decide of a name and saw someone with the same name on other site, so I thought of naming myself that. And I didn't even knew what a whore was when I made this account. (English isn't my first language and my parents teach me english so I rarely get to know about the cuss words if english)
Reading BL and getting aroused as a girl is absolutely not fetishizing, don't worry.
Fetishizing the LGBTQ+ is more when you stop seeing them as people and more as your object of arousal. Applying it real life, for example when you ship real life people, is fetishizing too. Or taking away the voice from those groups, like a lot of people on here di...... 1 reply
i dont think its when you read bl for the plot, characters, etc but its when people think mlm couples are just play things, idk if thats the right word but for example when people look at a gay couple if they immediately think. “Omg i wonder whos the top and bottom” “Have they fucked before, i know they have”
And things like that. In my opi...... reply
It's fetishizing when you take it into the real world and are expecting actually gay people and actual gay couples to act like BL characters and are wanting them to do certain things or are like in their comments requesting 'things' or 'acts' from them like their expected to show it to you and getting I guess turned on from it. This is different fr...... reply
i get the idea of "racist bad" but i guess my question is, do you? it's targeting a marginalized group/minority, but like, a lot of it is porn with the intention of making the audience horny to begin with so i can't say for sure whether it's a good or bad thing. to call the act of consuming fiction about two characters having sex "fetishization" is...... reply
