FlowerRose12's Things

Fujoshi is a Japanese term that means “rotten woman” and has been associated with women who like reading yaoi and bl, often to an unhealthy degree. Although this term was probably introduced just to shame women for enjoying something or going against what was deemed to be culturally appropriate, fujoshi is still a term that is seen as negative by many.
However, I have seen many people proudly proclaim that they are a fujoshi/fudanshi and either don’t care or believe that it has a negative meaning. I am not here to say whether labeling yourself as a fujoshi is okay or not ( I honestly don’t care), but since there are conflicting beliefs on this topic, I am interested in knowing what you think.^_^

To start off, there is no problem with anyone reading these things. Yaoi and BL mangas and manhwas can tell great stories while showing representation of a historically marginalized group. However, I do have a problem with the fetishization and normalization of certain stereotypes of gay people. Along with the normalization of minors being exposed to graphic/inappropriate content. Both of these issues are very much present on this website and I want to know if people know and understand this. Seme/uke and top/bottom are regularly used in lists, thus simplifying characters to sex objects, along with some harmful gender stereotypes. The ukes and bottoms in these stories act in, what is consider traditionally, feminine ways. Mainly by being submissive, nice, quiet, etc. Semes and tops are view in more traditional masculine roles. Additionally, some of you guys are too young to be reading certain mangas and manhwas. It is not normal for a 13 year old to have a kink or a fetish already and to have read and seen stories with intense sexual content. For instance, Killing Stalking is not something that you should have read at 12 years old. This also goes to anime watchers too, Junjou Romantica and Love Stage are problematic but made for mature viewers not 11 year olds. Overall, do people know how bad sexualizing gay people and being exposed to graphic and inappropriate content can be? Are a majority of people here normal and understand how problematic some users questions, answers, and list can be? If you agree or disagree with my statements, let me know ^_^ Also, sorry for any errors.
