I don't know anymore
I'm a bi/pan girl reading mlm, and no I do read other genres. I don't get off to it/fetishize it/ship ppl irl/hate lesbians.
I think I am a fujoshi because fujoshi means a women reading mlm. I don't think it has anything to do with fetishizing mlm.
I read a post somewhere that all fujoshis are messed up in the head (??) or something, which I personally don't .
Is it true? What are your thoughts on this?
Ps please don't judge me because of my username, I couldn't decide of a name and saw someone with the same name on other site, so I thought of naming myself that. And I didn't even knew what a whore was when I made this account. (English isn't my first language and my parents teach me english so I rarely get to know about the cuss words if english)
Fujoshi means someone who reads explict bl aka yaoi. Not mlm. It's upto you if you want to call yourself a fujo or not. But I won't label myself with a word that has such a problematic fandom behind it. Like do you really need a name that clarifies you read gay porn?

i dont think u should worry about anything. "fujoshi" is just a term, if u think ppl will judge u for it then dont call urself that. also imo its not like all "fujoshis" feteshize mlm, but its true that whoever fetishizes mlm is a fujoshi...if that makes sense?

BL in general is the same as any other romance story the only difference is that it's between two men. Although I will agree that some fujos fetishize mlm but that is not the majority of the community (only a very vocal few) Bl is made by women for women and Yuri is vice versa. I think misogyny is somewhat linked here since men are never called out......

First; Ayy same, Second; here is some info on the therm (ignore if you already know): https://futekiya.com/what-is-fujoshi-fudanshi/
You are right ‘fujoshi’ doesn’t mean anything bad, the west just bastardizes the word and keeps throwing the word ‘fetishized’ around.
I stopped calling myself fujoshi years ago because the bad rep they gott......
