Yaoi lovers, do you consider yourself a fujoshi? Why/why not?
I read a ton of yaoi all the time, and I enjoy it a lot, but I don't really consider myself a fujoshi. I think it's mainly because I never ship any characters together. I understand why people do ship characters, but personally I don't have any emotional appeal to ships. I read yaoi mainly out of boredom like for entertainment, so I only get emotionally invested in the story like half of the time so I never really care about ships or who ends up together in a story. I just read to see how the author decides to develop the story and who they favor at the end.
Not really no, I often try to distance myself from the fujoshi label, as it does have negative connotations. And just like you, I don't really ship characters like my other fujoshi friends. My friends automatically assume that if you like BL, then you like BL ships. Both in real life and non-BL media. But like, I don't do that. I don't go crazy ove...... reply
