i just realise im lowkey a fujoshi (unironically)
like i lowkey have been reading bl for the past 3 years almost everday
yknow at first ive always been like a manga type of person, yknow into anime and shit. so the fact that i read bl like a hobby itself never occurred to me. i just reading manga and shit.
i mean reading bl isnt really the problem, its just the fact that I dont read non-bl manga anymore that puzzles me.

I think people misunderstand what "fujoshi"/"fudanshi" is. As a teen I used to call myself a fujoshi for reading BL even though I was watching harem seinen/shonen romance more than reading BL. For now I don't use this label for myself, like I play video games for more than 3 hours, and I don't call myself a gamer, never mind a label that has a nega...... reply
the reason why fujoshis are often seen in the weird way is because people assume fujoshi = fetishizing mlm. i heard someone say all all mlm fetishizers are fujoshis but not all fujoshis are mlm fetishizers.
lmfao there was also a time where i realized i've been in the bl rabbit hole for awhile. it's not actually hard to get out of it cause nowaday...... reply
