just saw a tweet about how western fans took the word fujoshi and made it mean something it doesn& #39;t&how asian/specifically japanese people get really frustrated at it cause of how the term actually came about etc and is used in asian fandoms vs how it& #39;s used in the west now and

yeah .. like the people who made that term were homophobic men so of course they& #39;d think it& #39;s disgusting that people would read/watch media that portrays gay men so they made the term be so derogative because they were/are homophobic also the thing about it being marketed towards

- women and the op was tryna explain how at the time / maybe even still it is cause it& #39;s romance and all romance is targeted towards women etc , of course there are always gonna be cishet women who do take it too far and become weird about it etc https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥴" title="Woozy face" aria-label="Emoji: Woozy face"> but knowing -

- how the term originated and the fact that actual japanese gay men / lgbtq people took the word and made it something good and made the word as something completely different as to what western people have perceived it as , that is gross actually because honestly

alot of the "discourse" over "fujoshis" or the entire bl genre is honestly just filled with homophobic people saying that none of it should exist at all and yeah https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥴" title="Woozy face" aria-label="Emoji: Woozy face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥴" title="Woozy face" aria-label="Emoji: Woozy face">
anyway this thread probably didn& #39;t make any sense https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht"> bye

oh one thing as well, i do hate how the term bl has all these negative connotations now etc , like yeah some bl shows etc are very problematic in what they show but that& #39;s the same with any genre and the fact that every *asian* show that has gay characters gets lumped into the -

"this is bad" part of the category is extremely worrying cause homophobic people are deliberately using the "it& #39;s just women fetishizing gay men" to get away with saying ALL shows are bad, ofc there will be some cishet women who do but the majority of people are LGBTQ so itshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥴" title="Woozy face" aria-label="Emoji: Woozy face">

anyway this thread is pointless and im not even sure i made sense / said what i actually meant https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">
