Fujoshi Shouldn't Have Boyfriends, They Say

As we have already mentioned in previous articles, Hatelabo: Anomymous Diary is a Japanese site where Internet users can share opinions and open discussions completely anonymously. Contrary to other social networks such as 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 that the most radical opinions within the anime fan community in Japan have come from, and recently it was no exception. A new viral review stood out for stating that "fujoshi shouldn't have boyfriends" and that "any woman who has a boyfriend shouldn't be considered a fujoshi."

Let's remember that "fujoshi" is a Japanese term to refer to those women who are fanatical about yaoi (homosexual relationships). Strictly speaking, it is a pejorative term, since it translates as "rotten woman." But why couldn't they have a partner? Let's review this fujoshi's opinion:

"What the hell happens to women who are in love and married in real life, even if they're fujoshi? Doesn't liking Boys' Love/Yaoi mean that you have an antipathy for what is considered "normal" in the world? I'm not remotely interested in real men, on the contrary, I hate them. Real men are hairy and dirty. They are rough, noisy, scary, and really harmful to women.
I also hate the trend in the world where it's considered normal for a man and a woman to be a couple. First of all, love is only a loss for the woman, there is no benefit whatsoever. The woman has to endure the fear of pregnancy, the man gets the benefit of having his sex drive 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 average salary is lower for women, and the number of men who are worthless and 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 Fujijoshi 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 dwell on the creepiness of real romances. You can create your own ideal world of the kind of love you love 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 too. Otaku hobbies were the "salvation" for people like me, but I'm horrified that people who have other ways of life than otaku hobbies enter our realm with a sense of fashion. Please, if you have a boyfriend, don't call yourself fujoshi.

And of course, this peculiar point 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 they dumped you and it bothers you to see people with boyfriends, but a fujoshi?"
"Wow, you do 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 didn't look bad. However, there's a lot of classism within anime communities these days."
"I don't understand the feeling. However, the terms "otaku" and "fujoshi" have become in common use in today's world. This means that no one really judges you for being "it" anymore. The sad thing is that now the discrimination comes from within."
"Aren't you mistaking fujoshi for arous?"
"I'm not going to deny that there are a lot of fujoshi who hate real men, but there are also a lot of fujoshi who love them, and it's not uncommon for them to get involved in a heterosexual relationship."
"I don't get the point, so fujoshi can only have another fujoshi as a partner? Or how does it work?"
