Japanese + Yaoi history lesson!!!
"Fujoshi" is a play on the word "respectable woman" (婦女子). The first character, fu (婦) meaning "married woman" is replaced with the kanji for "rotten" (腐).
It was originally used as a derogatory insult by men, as women interested in queer and sexual topics were seen as abnormal and unfit for marriage by...... 5 reply

Because I always assumed it just referred to women who like BL as a genre. And by BL, I mean everything under that umbrella: shounen-ai, yaoi, danmei, and so on.
It was only when I got into fandom spaces that I realized people had started treating “fujo” like an insult, mostly because some of the most infamous or controversial works in the gen...... 1 reply
Some reclaiming type shi. Lol. No thanks, women can do without it in this genre. Looking at the media that's most popular in this readership, a lack of critical evaluation doesn't come off as surprising. It's the same when women "choose" to call themselves who*es and sl*uts and cumr*gs. They are just playing by the rules men made for them, they are...... 2 reply
They're reclaiming a slur.
Like how black oeopl use the word: "nigga" or queers use the words: "fag, dyke or ponk" or disabled people use: "retard" or the most close to home in this case would be how women who aren't in this niche use the word: "bitch".

Yeah, “rotten girl” has a negative meaning, and people absolutely use “fujoshi” as a smear. But that’s exactly why reclaiming it can be fun. People reclaim insulting labels all the time instead of letti...... 2 reply
I use the free youtube premium site and a free streaming service that connects my youtube music playlist to it.
When I'm on my computer I just use an adblocker.
For streaming, though this has nothing to do with youtube music I just pirate.
I only spend money on clothes and manga. reply
Yeh but its fictional and if a reader felt compelled to do it in real life or get scared by it bcs they were that easy to influence by a gay manhwa then that's on them ngl. You even said yourself "imagine". Tbh the only thing that I can understand readers feeling icky with, is violence over women characters bcs that is what happening irl a lot, sin...... 1 reply
'Things' are your daily life experiences by which you get to know the world around you. Tell others about the things you did, may it be cool, sad, crazy or funny. You can also find things that you might want to do and a friend to do it with!
