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.
I've read over 400 manga series so considering that the yaoi genre would only amount to maybe 20% or less of the manga I have ever read as a rough esitamte I would have to say no despite the fact that I fit the definition pretty well. I do love to read yaoi and I do ship characters however yaoi is only a small portion of the manga that I read. Tech...... reply
