Hello, everyone! I'd like to say a few things!
- In the article on fujoshi culture, I VERY SPECIFICALLY took quite a long time to talk extensively about how I find value in the yaoi works created by trans and queer people. I also talk extensively about transmasc eggs in fujoshi spaces.
- I am not a cisgender gay man. I mention in the article that I'm bisexual, but I'm also trans. Specifically, I'm bigender; I'm a man, yes, but also, I am a woman.
- This opinion has been formed through talking extensively about it with other transgender and queer people.
- I have, and will continue to, be deleting any comments on the subject. Sometimes queer people disagree on on subjects related to queerness, and that's, believe it or not, not a sign that one of them is automatically a horrible bigoted cunt.
- Lastly: if you are going to leave a comment calling me names for it, consider making a page on your own site about, for example, the history of fujoshi! Common misconceptions about fujoshi culture! I dunno, man, take all this passionate energy and actually do something productive with it instead of being cruel to internet strangers. That's what the indie web is about.
Have a nice day!

ignore that post below me, I wanna talk about cardcaptor sakura
cardcaptor Sakura is a banger manga I've read since I was 12 I think! It's helped me accept my queerness and that I am allowed to like women. It's a beautiful Manga and has gotten me through tough times.
I hope to finish it soon, because I genuinely think it may give me more good life lessons!
-chip, loser for cardcaptor sakura
and also a magical girl -

"I was saying quite literally the OPPOSITE of what you are implying. That the reason these people were called 'rotten' was because the people calling 'rotten' are homophobic, and are insulting them for condoning content about queer men."
Even still, this is wrong. You fail to understand that this isn't an issue of JUST homophobia. After all, the same men that villainized women for reading and creating yaoi, were the ones to have created loli and have read and created yuri. This is purely about these men's hatred of women and fan content they produced. Think for a second, had yaoi been started by a group of men instead - do you think the lolicons would have driven them out of comiket? No. They would probably not care nearly as much. The reason why they created loli in the first place was to shock and disturb women into leaving, and they managed! After this comiket was never female dominated again. Again, you are endorsing men that have created loli content because you're hating on women to a ridiculous degree - enough to wish all women in the world death and an eternity in hell (I can see now how your christian background influenced you).
Please, if you're going to write about fujoshi culture at least get your facts straight. Everything is deserving of critique, but you are incredibly ignorant on this topic and end up siding with pedophiles. -

Fellas. Is it condoning and endorsing men that creating lolicon to say that modern-day fujoshi culture makes you uncomfortable?
Fellas. Is it siding with pedophiles to say that a particular subculture makes you feel uncomfortable, but that you still see value in it when it's done by queer people?
Fellas. Is it genuinely, seriously wishing all women in the world death (and 'letting your Christian background influence you') to, in a ploy to OVEREXAGGERATE to the point of making it *UNDENIABLY an OBVIOUS JOKE*, say that you hope cisgender women go to hell, as a way to humorously comment on how cisgender women interact with queer men?
From the bottom of my heart: this is Twitter user behavior. This is the response of a Twitter user. This is the type of infighting and arguing that I joined Neocities to escape. When I see a website that has a take I disagree with, do you know what I do? I close the tab. To go to someone's guestbook to accuse them of being a piece of shit misogynist and pedophile-condoner for having an opinion you disagree with (and possibly sharing it with others, if the random influx of comments calling me a misogynistic cunt is anything to go by; all of which are getting deleted, fyi) is you becoming the type of toxic person that everyone on Neocities joined to escape.
I don't know if you are a Neocities user, but if you are: congratulations! You've become what you hate. How about focusing on what gives you joy instead of arguing with someone online? This is the indie web, mf, we respect the variance of human experience and opinions here, and hold constructive and kind conversation. Take your toxic ass back to fandom Twitter.

I tried to find a way to contact you privately but I couldn't so I'll write a guestbook comment because I wanted to point out some massive inaccuracies in your fujoshi post, which frankly turns around to be extremely misogynistic.
The term fujoshi was born in japan, an extremely misogynistic and patriarchal society. Women into gay manga have been the ones majorly responsible for the beginning of doujin culture, and were the predominant driving force behind conventions such as comiket. Men were extremely bothered by this overabundance of women and have countered this by producing loli manga which ended up driving the women away. This event is even covered in a manga made by one of the men who helped in expelling women out, also dubbed as the father of lolicon, called Disappearance Diary (2005) by Hideo Azuma. https://www.kaorinusantara.or.id/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Untitled3.jpg
The rest of the article can be found here:
https://www.kaorinusantara.or.id/english/2199/women-and-yaoi-in-japanese-dojinshi-culture
Fujoshis are called rotten because women that dare to express their sexuality in a way that isn't seen as pure, centered around pleasing men and putting women as the center of objectification are rotten. NOT because sexualizing gay men is problematic. The men that created this term and perpetuate it DO NOT CARE ABOUT THAT. THESE MEN ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS, AND THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN FIGHTING HOMOPHOBIA. Yes through your current day lens yaoi is problematic because you're not allowed to fantasize about people with sexualities different than your own unless the context is 100% fluffy and idealistic, but how come a similarly "rotten" term doesn't exist for men then, when they're the gender responsible for a lot more deplorable content than women could ever produce? When you read content made by men, whether it be books, manga or film - rape scenes and toxicity are not uncommon? How come then that you are wishing cis women to go to hell for internalizing this never ending barrage of abuse and applying it to their works of fiction in the context of two men having sex - context that removes women out of the picture of being constantly abused and subjugated? Yes what happens to men is problematic in yaoi manga, but it merely reflects a dynamic that is ever present in straight media... made by men (and women as well, but alas!).
You are disgusted when seeing two men in these problematic contexts, yet you do not bother applying the same lenses to hetero media, why? Why do only cis women have to go to hell?
In the same text you turn around to praise the term yuri, but historically yuri in japan is made by men, and aimed at men, and most of the yuri audience will *always* be men. The reason why it's seen as pure and beautiful is because nobody is there to corrupt these women, aka there are no men in the story. Therefore these girls remain "pure" by performing sexual acts with other girls. This is again, extremely misogynistic rhetoric that
a) claims hetero non virgin women have been corrupt by men and
b) implies lesbians having sex keeps them pure because no men are allowed, which in turn just ends up sounding like lesbians don't actually engage in sex because there are no penises involved.
In the eyes of male yuri fans (the ones that coined the term and are the driving force behind yuri media) there is nothing "wrong" with sexualizing and fetishizing women. It's normal. It's not taboo. Love between two women is pure because women depicted are supposedly pure virgins in eyes of horny men. The fact that lesbian love is seen as purer - does this never raise any alarms for you? THIS is why the term yuri is what it is, and not because holy virginal queer women decided that only the term that reflects most upstanding purity and virtue will represent them. You are gravely mistaken and naive.
I don't care if you think BL and yaoi are problematic, because they are, yes. They express extremely unhealthy relationship dynamics and so on. But please make yourself aware of the history behind these terms, and why things are the way they are. -

Wow, that is a looong message.
Anyway, you misread my article QUITE severely. I didn't say that fujoshi were called what they are because the people calling them that cared about fighting homophobia. Please reread these selections:
"Why are you being called rotten? For condoning gay relationships."
"If a cishet ally is called a queer (as an insult) for supporting gay rights, I don't think that makes "queer" a term that targets cishet allies. That just doesn't make sense."
I was saying quite literally the OPPOSITE of what you are implying. That the reason these people were called 'rotten' was because the people calling 'rotten' are homophobic, and are insulting them for condoning content about queer men.
Additionally, I addressed the point, "You are disgusted when seeing two men in these problematic contexts, yet you do not bother applying the same lenses to hetero media, why?" I said over and over and over that the issue I had was that this was almost ALL M/M animanga. I DO hold M/F romance to the same standard, but there is enough M/F animanga to last me several lifetimes, even when I exclude the ones with content I find triggering. M/M animanga doesn't. (Plus, why would I talk about M/F animanga in an article about fujoshi culture?)
I would now like you to pay me at LEAST $5 USD for forcing me to read this with my good, Christian eyes, and calling me a misogynist for saying something I literally did not say. https://ko-fi.com/azuremist
