I don't like Fujoshi

/ / Fetishizing

Hanabi no Oto ga Kikoenaku Naru Made
Or Until We Hear The Fireworks Stop is a rather popular Shota manga by Shinachiku. It features an underaged boy and his much older lover. A romantic tale of a young boy and his sexual experiences with his older lo- ok. Lets not sugar coat anything here. It's pedophilia and the fact that it's a hentai is no excuse, in fact, it probably doesn't better your case at all as hentai is erotica meaning you're supposed to gain some sort of sexual gratification from it. I don't know about you, but I think being turned on by 10 year olds getting touchy touchy with their Onii- San, manga or not, is fucking weird. And the comments don't make these Fujoshi look any better

Now, I know what you're thinking: "this is just a single example!! We're not all like this!!" Worry, not. Sites that feature a comment system, such as this one, MyReadingManga.com, Mangakalot etc. often have the comment sections of yaoi chock full of people sexualizing taboo subject such as r^pe, abuse, incest etc. People on this site are fairly tame, although you get the occasional comment from someone who'll fetishize these things, it's really nothing compared to other sites. When it comes to other sites, Jesus do I hope God passes proper judgment upon these people. While browsing through various tags on manga reading sites populated by predominately Fujoshi, I've noticed that 9 times out of 10, anything under the "rape". "shota". or "abusive lover" tags will normally have people fetishizing the situation completely throwing the "rape bad" thought to the back of their brain. Or whatever is left of it... if they ever had one in the first place.

Now, I'm not saying "don't read manga that feature rape, incest or abuse!!" No, no that's ridiculous. It's important for manga to feature these things to bring awareness to abusive relationships and I see nothing wrong with it as long as there's emphasis put on the fact that rape and abuse are bad. If you're heading into something tagged with 'rape' and 'abuse' and step into it wanting to be aroused by these subjects, be it a hentai or a normal yaoi, please see yourself out. You're not needed.

/ / Doujinshi

Have you ever heard of Gon x Hisoka doujinshi?
They're pretty popular, believe it or not, you can probably find a few on this site. I was pretty surprised. The purpose of me bringing this up is to say the following- I don't think the problem lies solely with the Fujoshi that read and fetishize these things, but the Fujoshi that allow it: the authors. And yes, nearly everyone who writes Yaoi is female. Not only can you tell by their names, but the genre of MLM witten for gay men BY gay men is called Bara. Anything that isn't Bara was most likely written by a woman. I don't know what headspace you need to be in to think writing about a 12 year old and a 29 year old getting down and dirty is an objectively good idea but- the door.

Doujinshi are great. I love Doujins, especially ones featuring characters from anime that I personally ship. And I will never shame anyone for liking or being aroused by hentai. Cause that's the point of it. I just draw the lines at adults having sex with literal children, incest and rape and abuse with no sign that the author wants you to view this encounter as a bad thing. That's weird and wrong in any context.

/ / Pressure

The vast majority of Fujoshi get upset when you call out how most of them like to fetishize taboo subjects.
Frankly if you're going to bitch and wail when people say "I hate when Fujoshi ship children with adults" you're probably the problem. You wouldn't be complaining if it didn't apply to you in the first place.
On a completely unrelated note, I've witnessed many Fujoshi pushing for gay representation in manga and anime. Take the recent push for KiriBaku being canon in the last couple of months. Ridiculous. I also see many people drawing strange conclusions about characters in anime surrounding their sexuality so that it fits their weird fantasies. If they're not gay, they're not gay. Please stick to the Doujins instead of pressuring authors to make it canon.

As far as pushing for representation in anime in manga, i dont see much of a problem with this as long as they're not trying to literally force it on creators. But frankly, if we're to have this, I'd want it to be written by and actual gay man to display the gay experience more accurately. There certainly are manga and anime that were written by women that display the gay experience phenomenally but, unfortunately, the bad outweighs the good in this category as most of the anime that claim to be "representing gays" just ends up seeming like it was written some 14 year Tumblr girl and is what she THINKS a gay relationship and the experience should be like.

/ / Stereotypes

Why do Fujoshi?
Why do most of them bring stereotypes that should only exist within hentai and doujins and apply them to actual gay men in real life. I really don't know what fantasy world you're living in, Emilia, but Uke's aren't always cock-slut twinks who're all uwu kawaii and Seme's aren't always macho men who're assertive and possessive. And most gays probably aren't flamboyant either.

God it is so annoying trying to converse with a Fujoshi. As soon as the subject of sexuality comes up its always "oh you're gay? I would have never known! you dont act it!" Tell me what that means, Emilia, I'd love to know.

The stereotypes surrounding Ukes, Semes and Sekes have crossed over into the real world through a swarm of Fujoshis and they're then applies to gay men IRL. Please stop. God, please stop.

/ / end

Clearly, not all Fujoshi are this way. Sane Fujoshi exist, however, I feel that they are the minority of the community. If anyone happens to see this and begins to complain, you're probably the problem. Gay men shouldn't have to conform to the stereotypes Fujoshi form based off of the hentai or yaoi they read. authors shouldn't feel pressured to incorporate gay characters into their works and your like for pedophilia cannot be justified with the statement "well it's just hentai" cause that only makes you look like even more of a fucking weirdo than you already are.
