Do you guys also not trust those fujoshis who only like 2D BL novels,manga,manhwa,manhua, & anime?
Am I hopefully not the only person here who finds this such type of fujoshi red flag and straight-up disgusted of them? I’m talking about those specific fujoshis who will ONLY ever read or watch BL in manga, manhwa, manhua, novels, anime. Like as a gay man, I never trust people like this. Not even a little bit. Am I not the only who notice how weird they are? Because every single time, without fail, they end up spouting the most homophobic garbage you will ever hear in this fandom.
Twitter users is the biggest offender of this. It is actually unreal how bad it gets over there. I still remember month ago, a certain JBL smutty live‑action project were officially announced. These Jp fujoshi aka apparently the gays "allies" were screaming at the top of their lungs, being so openly homophobic like they saying “We only wanted this kind of content to stay in 2D! Nobody asked for a live‑action adaptation at all! Stop blaming us fujoshis for its existence or saying we supported it. We also think this is gross!”
This is exactly why I always depend live action BL especially the smutty one . Seeing those fujoshi gush and scream and thirst over every smutty mangahuahwa novel then turn around the second live action BL ever dare to act smutty they immediately find it disgusting? Suddenly the smutty is too much or repulsive? Like that is not just a preference, they literally being openly homophobic.
There’s such a difference between these people who only like liveaction BL and people who only like 2d. People who love live action BL or non 2D BL have well ok reasons because they enjoy seeing real acting, genuine chemistry, and raw, heartfelt emotions brought to life by actual human actors . Some of them might even say stupid shit lol like “I only watch thosekind of BL because Anime/magahuahwa felt for kids". But then there are those fujoshi who only stick to 2L BL is justt.... They do it because they genuinely believe real men, real actors, and actual queer people being intimate or in love is disgusting, wrong, or unnatural. To them, only fictional drawings are “clean” and acceptable.
How can they claim to adore stories about men loving men, yet deep down think the real-life version of that love is something dirty to be ashamed of? Do they not hear themselves when they say, “It’s fine in 2d, but gross when actual humans act in a show”? That is open, blatant homophobia. If they treat BL live action and actors like that, imagine how they must look at real gay men!
Those type of people think gayness is nothing more than a pretty fantasy trope made only for their fujoshi entertainment? That the second it steps off the page or out of the cartoon and into real human actor acting it, it suddenly becomes something gross ? It's not ok for them to consume and fetishize BL all day long, yet the people who bring those stories to life or live that love every day get treated like disgusting. Those type of people need to be called out more.
And don’t even ask “what about queer fujoshi who only like 2D?”, I don't trust them either.
They always say the same tired pattern that apparently gay men/intimacy only looks good in fiction, but lesbian love/sex is good both in fiction and real life. I’m so tired of this “gay men are gross in rl, lesbians are so pretty in both” double standard, it’s just repackaged homophobia. People who aren’t gay men calling gay male intimacy disgusting is plain homophobia. If actual gay men said half this stuff we’d be crucified instantly but 2d queer fujoshi likers say it nonstop and nobody bats an eye. Yet their whole profile are 99% yaoi. If they hate us this much, go read yuri instead and leave us alone. We need people to stop fetishizing gay men. Queer identity is no free pass, queer fujoshi absolutely can and is homophobic towards gay men too. At the end of the day, queer or straight, so many 2D only fujoshi are just homophobic.
