different lesbian fujo from the previous one but I thought I’d also put in my two cents, for me personally my first ever exposure to gay stuff was homestuck yaoi, and I was a fujo ever since. This happened at about 11-12 for me, and at this time whenever I saw yuri or lesbians I would feel completely weirded out, for some reason? It would fill me with this intense existential dread. Anyways ten years later I love both yuri and yaoi. One thing about lesbian fujos I see going around as a misconception is that we aren’t into the nsfw parts of yaoi, or that we don’t get ‘aroused’ by scenes (TMI). But I recall seeing this take once and sending it to my other lesbian fujo friend like, so this whole time we’ve been reading noncon dead dove explicit fanfic like it’s a football game and we’re cheering when the seme tops the uke without finding it hot? obviously not. Anyways. My 2 cents.
Thanks for sharing ur experience!! Honestly this feels very common....everyone is different of course, but I think there is a sense of "defensiveness" amongst lesbian/ace fujos when faced with ppl getting nosy about our identities etc to overly emphasize how NOT interesting/etc aspects are to us...when I think really a lot of times it's a very different kind of interest and connection. I think ppl don't realize that art and depictions are about Sexy Concepts as much as they are about People and Genders and I think yaoiz kind of explore a particular set of Sexy Concepts that people will relate to in their own ways that's separate from the way we relate to Real People and Genders irl
(To also be a bit TMI, I will say the football cheering is kind of close what my experience with yaoiz is a lot...like I have a lot of investment and excitement for the arc and experience of the story but I don't feel attracted to it the same way, it's very "distinct" ig from the stuff that does turn me on, but I feel generally less interested in arousal itself jdkdjffj it's more fun to yaoisports....and I have found this odd in how it works...but just goes to show how variable the experiences are)
