I think it's only a problem when fujos can't differentiate between reality and fiction. Just like how shipping is so popular in mainstream media (think harry potter, supernatural, avengers etc) people are going to be more receptacle to gay relationships when the characters sexuality isn't restrained by an actual person - ie, the viewer can think wh...... reply
My first anime was Tokyo Mew Mew. This was when it was being shown on the TV over here (UK) so I didn't really know what anime was. I think my first manga was Rave Master, though i didn't finish it. If it's first finished manga it was probably Ao Haru Ride. reply
Yea as a gay it’s uncomfortable to see a bunch of little girls fetishizing my sexuality and calling these dudes their “sinful boi” or some bullshit. Drives me up the fucking walls. 4 reply
My first anime was kimpfrie and my first manga was a ecchi manga i forgot the name but it was this guy that lived in this apartment and there was a hole in the wall and he would peek and see a girl having sex and playing with herself and they went to the same school. reply
I got into yaoi at quite a young age, and my understanding of it was of course limited, in fact so limited to the point that I did not make the distinction that the stories are generally very hetero-normative, and that too was on a very distinctly polarizing level.
I come from a place where we are not socialized into an understanding of LGBTQI+, an...... reply
And how did you react to it? For me, it would be when a member of my family said that slutty styles suit me the most in front of my whole family. I was very taken aback and quite mad but i didnt want to start drama so i stayed quiet and just ignored them for the rest of the time. I still hold a small grudge till this day no matter how petty that is.
you shouldn’t feel the need to apologize over what you rightfully wanted to criticize and let your frustrations out. speaking my honest opinion, i rather think its dumb that you got hate all because you didn’t include some small text at the end stating your exclusions like it isn’t naturally obvious . basically fujoshis getting butthurt over ...... reply
my first anime was soul eater and my first manga was spirit circle. i literally remember borderline nothing about spirit circle i read the first volume in 2014 when it was coming out on Crunchyroll and never touched it again. i remember most of soul eater i think but i haven't rewatched since my first viewing. soul eater def isn't my fav anime I've...... reply
I apologize in behalf of the toxic fujos. But I completely understand your point. Even I, being straight, gets disgusted and annoyed at mangas or webtoons that portray heavy rape and abuse to women and then that fl falls in live to her rapists or so on, and then the readers romanticize it saying "its only a manga"-- i was like bruh it reflects real...... reply
I think one problem is that many fujoshis are young and lack exposure to information on what fetishization is whether it be lack of available info or the nature in which the info is presented. I think a key way to get people to stop or become aware is to not attack them. Once someone starts getting defensive, your message is never going to get thro...... 2 reply
Yea! Your opinion is totally valid! I’m so sorry you had to deal with those hateful comments tho. I think it would be cool to add like how fujoshis can stop their negative influence on the gay community! Kinda of like “understand more about the history and current situations of LGBT+ members in order to not let Yaoi create a bias in your views ...... 1 reply
Imma just speak for the nontoxic community, I’ll just start with that. I don’t think Theres anything bad with yaoi, I mean in some ways the fetishizing can get kinda bad at points, but no one has bashed plain ol hentai. Technically, have you ever seen a giant tittied cat girl with a skanky outfit who is always horny. This makes girls look terri...... 1 reply
nah this is fine i mean sometimes when i read yuri and when its clear that the manga is fetishizing women together i get uncomfortable but im a pretty accepting person and some people enjoy it and i have no right shaming them when i know how it feels like to be shamed for enjoying their choice of genre. i want to ask what irked you and what behavio...... 1 reply
honestly those people shouldn’t even be called fujoshi because that’s not what it meant. Fetishizers are fetishizers. I just found out that the negative meaning of fujoshi are used by homophobes and transphobes so ever since, i just call those people fetishizers. And yes i agree the fetishizers really do get out of hand especially when they fet...... reply
If a fujoshi is going up to gay people and disrespecting them in their face, yeah that’s bad.
But that’s not the point you’re going for, since you are telling people what they can and cannot read, which is none of your business. I have to remind you, that yaoi is FICTION. It can be realistic, but there is no requirement for it to be realist...... 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!
