/ffs/ - Fujo Fandom Sperging

i like when the guys are portrayed as straight or on the asexual spectrum until they meet the other guy, so no…
the idea of them being gay isn't attractive to me. but to be fair i don't like when they act too moidy in general so the turn off is not appliable just to them being homosexual. i guess i just want an unrealistic and idealized version of guys. it makes things more romantic and hot

It's all about gap moe and well-rounded personality for me. I don't want them to come off as girly but for the sake of making myself clear I should mention that I don't think of coomer behavior or macho when I say "manly". The real hotness comes from contrasts. Like a serious, honorable and sophisticated dude that values etiquette but then over-reacts or gets emotionally confused when things don't go his way or when his potential love interest approaches him. Or super serious tradition-loving guy that throws an autistic tantrum sometimes.
A bit like the cartoon villains from the past to be honest lol. Threatening at first but then they turn out to be naive and do dumb shit or throw a fit until their super loyal totally not gay sidekick calms them down. Or an allegedly unemotional scientist with hidden insecurities.

There is a lot. But them being outright feminine/boyish kills my enjoyment since cuteness and emotions should be the top on the ice cake not the defining trait everything else is based around. That aside it's just cute and hot af seeing some scary dude softening for a certain other dude. It hits very differently from a blushing insecure softie being lovely dovey. That aside I cannot even relate to those types. Like I don't self-insert or anything but I at least have to vaguely understand a character to like him and I can't with those male and female moe blobbs anime use to have.

Hannibal, I guess I was never the biggest Silence of the Lambs fan in the first place; but I remember trying really hard to get into this show and ship when it came out and it never clicked for me.

Still love still love all the dark fan art the sweies produces.

Same. I can rationally see why it's very good fujobait, but my heart doesn't follow.

I don't even think they would have sex with each other, just indulge in the mutual corruption fetish by doing heinous things. Spiritually gay at its finest.

>It already happened that well hinted/pandered ships were erased and nobody here was shipping them because the official TL simply ungayed their dialogues and I believe that it wasn't even because of a homophobic translator but simply a BAD translator.
Do you have examples? I can't think of any but I English isn't my first language so I tend to only check English translations if there aren't any in my mother tongue.

>How is it possible that out of all these people they manage to fish out the few memetastic idiots respectively why is it only them applying for these jobs?
Blame Crunchyroll, they basically have a monopoly on Anime distributions in America and they work on the cheap, so they refuse to work with with union voice actors and dub directors and instead hire people from the Internet who who can afford to treat this like a youtube parody series instead of a job, kyle mccarley(a voice actor) talks about this and this method basically set a precedent for other companies as well

Damn, I know this was posted 2 years ago but this image sums up why I don't like typical seme/uke tropes. My ideal dynamic is for both of them to have dick butterflies *and* stomach butterflies. They're both men so I don't want one dude being like an 'innocent maiden' who doesn't get horny.

Buddhist clergy members are supposed to take a vow of celibacy, but I don't think a Japanese author would make much angst about it if they have such a history with prostitutes. But yeah Taoism and Shintoism would be pretty boring in terms of angst. If you really wanted angst and taboo, Islam would be the choice, but I think their fashion is ugly compared to Catholic Priests.

>>4726
Which is a shame because Middle Eastern style clothes that aren't rooted in religion are quite sexy imo

It's funny, just yesterday I was reading someone on another site shitting on Nu Carnival for being "male coded" and that only gay men could love it so it was clearly some kind of trans psyop.

>>4694
Because they simply can't explain in clear terms what their issue is. They just rely on value judgements they insist are universal.

>every fan who watched it on first airing has had ten years to level up their art
This'll be nuts.

>>4689
Trying to 'reclaim' a game, which was made made by the fujo menace, from the fujo menace is absolutely unhinged. Nu: Carnival is pretty upfront about the type of game it is. If you truly find fujoshi that offensive, then why are you so obsessed with a game made by them that specifically panders to them?

>I'd love to see how you'd grasp at straws, cherry-pick, and use mental gymnastics to argue why yuri is so "pure" and yaoi is not.
I've always found the mental gymnastics these types perform when justifying this belief to be frustrating. Like you, I've seen the argument that yuri is somehow more 'pure' and focuses more on the relationship development or whatever than yaoi, but I only find the relationship thing holds true if it's written by a woman. Most yuri I've read that's written by men has been… not that. The comparison feels so disingenuous because the women in yuri aren't any more realistic or well-written (unless, again, it was written by a woman); it's just that the person making the comparison has a vested interest in seeing their chosen genre come across as more respectable.

The word 'gross' is so funny to me. I think asparagus is gross, but I don't go on social media to complain about people who eat asparagus.

I’m hyperfixated on certain characters but they never met and I have no idea which plot to have with them beyond just having sex.

I think this has probably been discussed here before, but I HATE when a series has a completely all male cast, or a mostly all male cast, and people bitch constantly, asking for female characters, particularly in anime/manga I mean. There are so fucking many harem series with hundreds of shitty loli characters and people don't even bat an eye, but one shitty anime phone game has an all male cast and it's the wailing and gnashing of teeth. "When will you add women characters!!!" Hopefully never.
I don't side with my yumejo sister's a lot, but if there's one things I will stand together with yumejos on, it's this fight against adding women characters to shit that's only meant to be filled with hot men and boys. If I wanted a series with good women characters, I would go find one. Why do my sexy male characters have to be accompanied by female counterparts? I don't need it, and I'm not afraid to say it.
Pic not rel.

I hate how female socialization causes so many women/fujos to overanalyze the morality of fiction and develop massive guilt complexes in general, as if fujos are going to go out and rape gay men. If you hate this manhwa that much, why are you in the comments of chapter 25 writing paragraphs about how wrong and evil the author is? You know you can just close the tab? You obviously want to read it, but you feel like you can't without virtue signaling to random strangers on the internet. Sad.

In the thread it's stated that it was started by someone who wanted one of the guys to be a bottom instead of a top.

>So certain childe solo stans who were especially mad about this “special zone” decided to take it upon themselves to report it to mhy and when that proved ineffective, they decided to go full scorched earth and report it to the CN government, they made guides on how to do so too
>The “whistle blower” who reported the booth and made an entire guide post on how to report to the ministry actually does ship childe and ZL. In fact they ship childe with any number of characters- The catch being that these pairings must feature childe as the bottom.
Sounds like a Childe yume who likes to see her husbando being diddled with and got other Childe yumes to report the booth.

>>4370
Coping that it's yume or moid sabotage just makes you look like a clueless genshitter who puts asian fandoms on a pedestal tbh… Chink fandom is insane. They all report eachother to the ccp on a dime and the only solidarity that exists is between people who like a specific thing in a very specific way and they see it as them vs everyone else. Fujos hate eachother, yumes hate eachother, moids hate eachother, and every one of those groups tends to hate the others in general. It's a dystopia of constant drama.
t. a "member" of it

I honestly don't really have a platform. 4chan would be closest, but it became lame, shit and riddled by SNS tards the last years. I never liked tumblr and cannot see how it would have gotten better. Casually posting my art there and talk to a few people that use it and all I see is infighting over "problematic" headcanons, posts and ships. I don't want to interact with that community since it means getting dragged into drama.
>>3976
Personally hate AU like that as well. The setting and premise are half of the reason for why I even care about a series, alternative routes/endings are something else. I guess it's impossible to ban that stuff but I wish there was a place like that since you cannot even filter it without also filtering "character survives" fics, it's sometimes enough to kill my motivation to even look for fics, since most of the series I am into are like 50% coffeeshop/school AU shit or more.

I remember liking Reverse Falls AU art a lot. I wished it had more Dipper Gleeful x Yellow Bill Cypher, though.

>The setting and premise are half of the reason for why I even care about a series
NTA and saged for off-topic, but I have never understood the appeal of AUs of that nature. Of course, it's fine for people to like what they do, but for some reason, when an AU diverges heavily from canon (I'm talking, like, a high fantasy series has an AU set in 1950s America or something), I cannot get into it. I like the characters for who they are, and changing the setting and their life experiences fundamentally turns them into different people entirely. I usually end up thinking, "you could've just changed the names of these characters, and I legitimately couldn't have identified them as the same people."

Extremely late, but I’m answering in case you still want to know or anyone else is wondering. I also love Hashihime, and while UuultraC isn’t quite as good, I still really enjoyed it and consider it one of the best BL games I’ve played. It has a very different tone, though, so don’t go in expecting the same thing or you’ll be disappointed. It’s much more fantastical and abstract than Hashihime, and it can take a while to 100% understand what’s happening. I’ve seen some people describe it as ‘confusing,’ but I think it’s mostly the first 1/3 that filters people. When you reach the ending, it’s all pretty clear. One of my favorite things about Hashihime is Tamamori, as the author did a great job of fleshing out his personality and all of his neuroses. UuultraC has three protagonists, and they’re very different from one another. They’re all well-written, though, and you get pretty diverse PoVs as a result. The author has a real talent for writing her PoV characters. Rather than following a route system like Hashihime, you follow three separate couples in a set play order. Their stories all center around the same general plot, but from different perspectives. Having separate couples is kind of nice because the relationships feel very integrated into the story and natural. You’re also not stuck with anyone for too long if there’s one protagonist you dislike. There’s also an insane number of CGs, as in, 1,800ish.

Minor spoilers that answer your last question, but I tried to keep it vague: No, there’s no robot fucking. The people who fight the kaiju are more like Power Rangers than robots or mech pilots. Some of the human characters can turn into kaiju, which are basically just big monsters. If you’re put off by the giant monsters, I’ll warn you that there is an h-scene that involves one of the boys in a more monstrous form, but I remember him being humanoid through, like, the majority of it. Most of the h-scenes are pretty normal aside from a few, and assuming you’ve played a couple of VNs, I don’t think there’s anything here to worry about.

It’s worth a shot. I don’t regret playing it, but it has much less universal appeal than Hashihime. I'd say to avoid it if you're not into abstract stories with a lot left up to interpretation. It’s a really fun game for analyzing its themes/characters, if you’re into that. TherPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I'm actually the one that you replied to. I actually played UUUltrac a few months ago and really enjoyed it. If anyone else is thinking about playing it I really recommend it. I am obsessed with Yomi to an unhealthy degree.

>>2476
I loved it, but I'm an /m/ user, so I might be biased. It has so many references to /m/ stuff. An all-female version of /m/ would never stop fawning over it.
