Guys what is yall's opinion on the term fujoshi/people being fujoshis, bc i used to be a hater for the sole reason that it has a derogatory history, but other than that i couldnt rlly care less... and idrm anymore... but ive seen people say its fetishizing gay men... imo that is stupid.. but id like to know yalls opinions on this, bc maybe i just need to see it from someones POV

the fujoshis I see in manga/hwa/hua comments are really annoying because they're like "omg seme uke kiss spicy whatever" completely unironically like hello its 2024. the fujos i've talked to are alright but I don't like comment section fujos...

Gay¹ man² here, fujoshi’s are okay. Fetishizing gay men is different from reading about gay men. Fetishizing gay men is shit like porn, etc. Obviously, lesbians and sapphics are more subject to explicit fetishization of their identity, but I can’t speak on that

¹ Eh…? I just use the achillean label, I’m not sure.
² Not a man, but vaguely man-shaped. [Reference]

It's literally just a term for people to say they like bl or something like that . . . I don't care as long they don't bother me or it isn't something bad some people just started fetishizing gay men while using the term and im pretty sure that's what muddied it . . It's a word to describe someone at the end of the day for me
