Become Fujoshi Or Fundashi

I like yaoi because i don't like the way female characters are represented in shoujo. they are always this damsel in distress and that's fucking annyoing. Not to mention the harem. I like romance but i don't like the romance they portray in shoujo. i like the one they portray in yaoi or shonen ai. what bl accomplishes in 6 chapters, shoujo doesn't ......   7 reply

For me, that isn't true. The reason I got into reading yaoi was because I got tired of the standard female characters in manga. I started reading shounen ai first because I wanted to read a not weak protagonist and a good romance plot too. Then after I read a lot of the scanlated shounen ai manga (and there is nothing to read anymore) I started rea......   reply

Eh... that's murky territory. Do women who read erotica/smut with straight relationships objectify other women and the men inside as well? What about lesbians who read and write lesbian romance novels or manga? I'm a gay male and I enjoy yaoi. I don't care that it's written by women or who it's written by for that matter, as long as it's a good s......   2 reply

Objectify? That’s a very strong word, and um, I don’t. I don’t think I like that word. But to be honest I am always surprise when I see gay men in real life (probably cause of my upbringing) but not to the point that it disgust me or use it for sexual release or something. I respect their decision and I admire their courage to be open about......   2 reply

The answer is; don't be a hippocrit. If you object to men enjoying lesbian pornography the yes this is bad too. Really though, we aren't hurting anyone and actualy, in more repressive comunitys (like mine growing up) The only positive interaction I would have with even the idea of homosexuality was through books (more wattpad books than manga as a ......   reply

hmmm...we become fujoshi because we like looking at gay men in manga and in some cases real life aswell,nothing else to it.   reply

I like yaoi because the characters are usually mature. There are shoujo where the hero/heroine are mature but it's not common and Josei has mature women but between drama and desperation to attract men, they don't act it.   reply

I can only speak for myself- However, I'd have to deny that statement. I realise that manga and reality and two separate entities, as I'm sure some others will as well. The only reason I read yaoi/yuri is because I'm lonely. I don't read it to fetishize friends or people who I meet who are homosexual- Because, In a way, that's just disrespectful.   1 reply

I think a relationship between men sometimes seem more romantic, as it isn't something we usually get to see everyday. Many in today's society usually have to hide their feelings when they're in love with the same gender. A reason why I think many women like yaoi, is because men have it harder expressing their feelings because of "their role" in so......   reply

I totally can't agree with your friend. I love yaoi because they can have really good stories. I read a lot of manga, mostly yaoi but shoujo too, and yaoi has way more interesting storylines. Yaoi shows the insecurities of having to come out which straight couples don't have to deal with. As a lesbian I love seeing that in yaoi, the fight against b......   1 reply
