The Fujoshi:
is a self-mocking, pejorative Japanese term for female fans of manga, anime and novels that feature romantic relationships between men.
Now let’s get one thing straight here- Being a Fujoshi is not easy.
I think many assume fujoshi just ship every guy we see and ruin characters for other. But honestly, it’s not really true.
Do I ship couples that have good chemistry and their sexual orientation is not specified? Yes Kiribaku shipping all the way.
Do some of us ship guys that we most likely know aren’t into each other? Yes
BUT
I also enjoy shipping heterosexual couples as much as I enjoy shipping homosexual. Do I maybe squeal and freak out more if it’s a super adorable gay couple? -Of course.
Ultimately- If the ship or pairing resonates with me then I will ship it.
I do enjoy being a fujoshi and I wish people wouldn’t put so much judgment on it.
I feel like anime is actually starting to portray healthy gay relationships healthy instead of those crazy ones before. They shall not be named but you know what I’m talking about -
So after a long time, I decided I wanted to make a thread about the fujoshi life, struggles or anything really.
Some notes
You don’t have to be a full fujoshi and have mountains of manga about it. You can just enjoy some relationships in anime or manga that you may hope end up as canon. But if you ever felt like you didn’t have a place to share your stories or experiences- I hope you can see this as a place to open up and feel comfortable.
Some topics and questions I had in mind are:
-
What was the first BL anime you watched? - Probably mature audiences.
- How and when did you find out about BL anime?
- What’s your favorite canon/non-canon male relationships in anime?
- Who is your fav gay anime couple?
- Any embarrassing moments you had watching any anime with some gay romance?
- Any fujoshi stories you have?
Could this thread close?
I don’t know if a thread like this could be closed or not but I thought it would be kind of nice to have one like this. I won’t lie and say that as a fujoshi - there are some really dark sides to the BL mangas and animes. If this thread gets a little too mature then I think it could close. I hope it doesn’t really. But if it does I hope some will be able to enjoy some of the environment and activity here- even if it dies lol.
Btw this thread was inspired by the “Want to talk about hot anime guys” thread. You should def check that out! Want to talk about hot anime guys
For the first topic:
What was the first BL anime you ever watched and how did you find it? ?
- Did youtube recommend it to you? Did a cousin give away her old mangas and happened to leave that one in there? Looking back- is it trash or is it still a guilty pleasure?
NO HATE OR JUDGEMENTS ALLOWED
- but if you liked that papa kiss in the dark- you got some issues you need to work on.
