!!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.
In all honesty, being a Fujoshi only has a bad name due to the fact that other 'Fujoshis' has done this and has proven other people their point. There's nothing wrong with liking the BL genre, you don't have to beat yourself over such thing. If you find happiness in it then so be it, as long as you aren't doing anything wrong to the LGBTQ+ people, ...... reply
