As we have
already mentioned in previous articles, Hatelabo: Anomymous Diary is
a Japanese site where Internet users can share opinions and open debates
completely anonymously. Contrary to other social networks like Twitter and
Facebook, this site works in an extremely primitive way, so someone simply
posts their thoughts and waits for someone to respond.
It is
precisely from this site where the most radical opinions have come from within
the community of anime fans in Japan, and recently it was no exception. A
new viral opinion stood out for stating that “fujoshi should not have a
boyfriend” and that “any woman who has a boyfriend should not consider herself
a fujoshi.”
Let us
remember that “fujoshi” is a Japanese term to refer to those women who are fans
of yaoi (homosexual
relationships). Strictly it is a pejorative term, since it translates as
“rotten woman.” But why couldn't they have a partner? Let's review the opinion
of this fujoshi:
- « What the hell
happens to women who are in love and married in real life, even if they
are fujoshi? Doesn't just because you like Boys' Love/Yaoi mean you
dislike what is considered "normal" in the world? I'm
not even remotely interested in real men, on the contrary, I hate them.
Real men are hairy and dirty. They are rude, loud, scary and really
harmful to women.
- I also hate the trend in the
world where it is considered normal for a man and a woman to be a couple.
First of all, love is only a loss for women, there is no benefit. The woman has to endure
the fear of pregnancy, the man gets the benefit of seeing his sexual
desire satisfied, the woman has to spend money on makeup and clothes for
the man while the man does not have to spend as much, and yet the salary
average is lower for women, and the number of worthless men who are
reluctant to even buy a meal is increasing, and in today's world I don't
think it's worth it for men and women to be in love.
- Of course, I know that this kind
of thinking is considered abnormal in the world. But isn't the fujoshi
community the place where we can sympathize with each other instead of
being blamed for this abnormal thinking? With Boys' Love/Yaoi, you
don't have to focus on the creepiness of real romances. You can create
your own ideal world of the type of love you like as much as you want.
Isn't that why people become fujoshi and enjoy Boys' Love/Yaoi, so they
can enjoy their ideal romance without being bothered by real men?
- I read somewhere that a fujoshi
introduced her boyfriend as a sales consultant, but I really can't believe
it. I don't think fujoshi who have boyfriends, husbands, or enjoy real
relationships are really fujoshi. Honestly, I think they should retire
from being fujoshi and start doing NL (heterosexual love) things.
- I've always thought that today's
female otaku call themselves fujoshi in the fashion sense, but it's a
relief to know that male otaku are fujoshi too. Otaku hobbies were
the “salvation” for people like me, but it horrifies me that people who
have other ways of life than otaku hobbies enter our kingdom with a sense
of fashion. Please, if you have a boyfriend, don't call yourself
fujoshi.
And of
course, this peculiar statement did not go unnoticed:
- « Come to think of it,
lesbian porn has been quite popular in recent years .»
- « I could understand it
if you say that you were dumped and it bothers you to see people with
boyfriends, but a fujoshi? ».
- " Wow, you really
have a pathetic life ."
- « About 30 years ago the
term “fujoshi” was quite common, and even girls who enjoyed gay love by
having a boyfriend were not seen as bad. However, today there is a lot of
classism within anime communities .
- « I don't understand the
feeling. However, the terms “otaku” and “fujoshi” have come into common
use in today's world. This means that no one really judges you for being
“it” anymore. The sad thing is that now discrimination comes from within .
- « Aren't you confusing
fujoshi with ardida? ».
- " I won't deny that
there are many fujoshi who hate real men, but there are also many fujoshi
who love them, and it is not uncommon for them to get involved in a
heterosexual relationship ."
- « I don't understand the
point, so fujoshi can only have another fujoshi as a partner? Or how it
works? ».
