I agree, coming from a girl who reads all genres (mainly Bl cuz that’s mainly what i find) and I would rather die than call myself a Fujoshi LOLL
then am I not a Fujoshi? I read bl a lot but don't really fantasize about 2 real men who's straight asf, but I do get butterflies when I see two real gay teenagers being cute together in a restaurant.
ok but wdym by "fujoshi behaviour". like, the shipping? cz in my experience its not even BL readers that get real weird (as in suspicious) about gay mfs getting friendly, so it wouldnt even explain why it'd make him any weirder

All shipping of real people even certain characters is weird to me
one year later but
yes, i don’t want to dismiss or say ‘it didn't happen’ but a lot of the girls-people i knew in HS who shipped their classmates weren’t even into anime, in fact they thought geeks were gross. i get the ‘girl who shipped guys in hs = fujoshi’ but the ones i and some acquaintances encountered in HS just wanted a gay friend after watching High School Musical, the ‘gay best friend’ trope used to be really popular. what i mean is, some were definitely fujoshi, but many weren’t
yea we’ll update nb asked for i embrace the fujo name SISTERS WE DIE TOGETHER
note: fujoshi/fudanshi behavior on real men is suuuper creepy.
