thread of info about the term "fujoshi" and its actual meaning and history IN JAPAN, as well as info about BL. i'll keep adding info as i find it.
note: i've been using the term in a wrong, derogatory way for years as well, since eng fandom spread a lot of misinformation about it and i used to believe it.
but i refuse to let eng fandom decide its meaning any longer.
long post, screenshots are just a preview from different parts of the post and skip a lot of content.

people who push the idea that lgbt content must be always "pure" and "wholesome" act a lot like the "inconsiderate type" of fujoshi that piss off japanese gay men
facts about fujoshi and how the anti-fujoshi trend is racist.

(btw i can absolutely confirm that i have been misgendered more than once, even though i dont even call myself a fujoshi, since i'm not a girl, by antis for mentioning i like ABO fics, and for my ships.)
