Is being a fujoshi a bad thing?
Aight so I’m a queer girl who reads a lot of BL and GL mostly BL because there’s just more of it in general in comparison to GL, and even though it’s not the pinnacle of representation I feel like I can relate to it more compared straight romance manga. I feel like I’d consider myself a fujoshi because a fujoshi/fudanshi as far as I know is just a person who reads BL, but some people see fujoshi as creeps who fetishize gay men. Are those people just thinking of the few toxic fujoshi out there or is being any definition of a fujoshi a bad thing? As a girl who likes girls I don’t really care if guys read GL or watch lesbian porn or whatever as long as they don’t harass wlw couples and people, but idk if that’s how other people feel. What do y’all think? I just don’t want to be insensitive to any peeps out there ;3;

That connotation carried over to Western culture where it's more frowned upon due to society's values, Western views, etc. I used to call myself a fudanshi since that seemed to ...... reply
