PSA #6: Painting criticism of fujos as "hating women" is diningenuous as hell.
If that was genuinely what was happening that'd be one thing, but criticism of fujos isn't a fucking "attack on women" and anyone with more than two brain cells is more than capable of understanding that. Using "stop hating women" and creating a straw man to stifle criticism by mlm people on a genre (and its audience) that is *literally focused on showcasing mlm people* by trying to make it out to be something it's not is both pathetic and disgusting. I've seen *way* too many people trying to push that shit today, and I'm beyond over it.
- If fujos were a bunch of non-mlm men we would still be having the exact same discourse, because newsflash, most critics of fujos and yaoi/bl aren't misogynistic homophobes, they're mlm people. Not to mention, if fujos *were* a bunch of straight men, let's not pretend a lot of y'all wouldn't be singing a *very* different tune on this topic. Though since we're apparently not above intentionally misrepresenting people's criticism, not being above hypocrisy is certainly no surprise.
- The criticism of fujos has always applied to *all* readers who partake in the same behavior, even if they're not female. The only reason fujos are specifically named is because most of the people doing the shit that's being criticised are women, which is what happens when an audience is majority female. Dunno why I need to explain that, it's really not complicated.
As much as it feels like I should have more points, this entire concept is such pure and utter bullshit I only need the two. Hell, the fact that this even needs to be said is fucking ridiculous.
tl;dr Mlm people calling out shit that pertains to mlm people isn't "hating" or "attacking women". If you're trying to paint it as such you're disgusting, and if, god forbid, you actually believe it, you're delusional.
