And I couldn't help but link what it was talking about "porn addiction" to how people view and treat fujoshis and them reading BL. To quote the article: "Instead, higher levels of moral conflict over porn use predict higher levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and diminished sexual well-being, as well as religious and spiritual struggles." And I couldn't help but link this back to how people treat fujoshis. Making out women who are reading BL as inherently morally suspicious. Inflicting a moral conflict in them, about how they are fetishizers, and the triumphant win for doing all this is how it can bring this demographic, higher levels of stress, anxiety, depression, shame. I feel like this is people's main motivation. To inflict this psychological distress on women about their consumption of BL through deeming them as fetishizers.
Would like to hear from fujoshis, or female readers of BL about this link being made.
Isn't it homophobic to think that way? They viewed being a fujoshi/fudanshi as a bad thing because it's about reading or watching 2 men love each other. That's how it seems to me. I don't get how being a fujoshi makes you similar to porn addicts. Porn addicts means they watch porn for an unhealthy amount of time. Fujoshi, on the other hand is a gir...... reply
