Gosh I’m so tired of people using “fujos” as easy scapegoat.
You like Japanese M/M? Guess what you’re a FUJO. No matter your sexuality. That’s the definition. Don’t bring your weirdass American re-definitions into this.

If you're in the danmei fandom, you are a fujo.
You're consuming work made for fujos. You're consuming work made by fujos.

Funniest thing I see antis do is that they go “fujos fetishize gay men so fucking gross” and they go and retweet contents from actual Japanese fujos with “腐” in their bio

A lot of the people very serious about hating “fujoshis” would be considered fujos themselves, so many of them also have mlm ships but they’re “doing it right” while tilting at imaginary foes to demonstrate how much better they are
