!!A concerned teenager!!
I read a lot of different types of stories like, BL, GL, shoujo, or shonen ( mainly the BL genre tho ) and have considered my self as a "fujoshi" for a long time. But recently, I've seen people people talking about how it is bad being a fujoshi and that if you use the term, it means that you fetishize gay men and it is disrespectful to the LGBTQ+ community. I don't really like the sound of that because I have a few friends that take part in that community. It makes me really guilty and scared, what should I do?
I know that the genre BL can also be divided into shounen ai or yaoi, while I do read both, reading those hardcore stuff was often use to relief stress, ( like how other people watch porn or read hentai ) but now it is concerning me if it is even okay for me to do this anymore.
I have been wondering the same thing and if I’m honest, as long as your not making up tropes for gay people, realizing that gay people aren’t the same as the people in the story, it’s fine. I have done that I i don’t consider myself a fujoshi but if you do that’s ok:) don’t let people get you down, alright? reply
