I mean,,, It IS an old misogynistic term reclaimed by, specifically, Asian women. So us westerners probably shouldn't be using it.
I don't know exactly where you're from and I'm not in the position to be able tell you whether you can use the term or not, and neither are most of the people in the comments of this post.

There's been a lot of drama/arguments going around on Mangago these past few days so I wanted to make a post with some less stressful topics to lighten the mood.
So, reply with some stuff that makes you happy; like your favorite hobby or something lol. (;◠‿◠)
Tiktok is so fucking toxic, it sets off my anxiety so much and I'm at the point where I'm just gonna delete it. Also, why does the nasty side of the BL community have to speak for the whole community, just why...?

Personally, I can understand their arguments to an extent like with rape, abuse, and straightwashing. None of these things should be romanticized or celebrated in any way but some fujoshi tend to do that, which is not okay. I can understand wanting stuff like this to be stopped, but when you go to lengths as far as forcing users to take down their own content and witch hunting people, that's when I have a problem. I haven't personally experienced it since I'm to afraid to post, but people I follow and support have. Someone I follow who doesn't even draw yaoi was forced to take down their art on tiktok because of this shit. I have so much more to say, but this isn't even supposed to be a rant. So how do ya'll feel about this stuff, tbh I just wish they were more informed before making some of their arguments.
