/ffs/ - Fujo Fandom Sperging

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.

>e and there's a check to prevent men and spammers from joining.
So no one will join, these servers always have weird moderation that reqiure you to voice chat and shit

>>3460
Yeah don't even bother with this server

But of a confession, I pretend to be a yume sometimes because while he's my favorite character of all time and I love him, I'm not comfortable self inserting or pushing emotional stuff onto a character like that and would rather ship him. But, I also really like the excuse to talk about him and brag about how best of a character he is.

>>2073
I do the husbando thing but I hate self-insert fics lol. The (you) characters are never written like me so I cannot relate to them. It feels like I was reading a story about a non-character or generic wallflower trying to get the character I like the most, so I avoid them like these fics plague.

I think my husbando'ing can be intense but it's only daydreams and making fanart of him or buying merch if possible. I don't like OCs or forcing myself into a world I was never part of, so I rather ship him with a character he has a potentially interesting chemistry with that I can relate to. Then I daydream about this, with me influencing the partner and observing the story from that PoV. I know it's complicated.

>>3354
I used to be like that nona and the progression went like this: "husbandos" I obsess over yet almost solely ship with other men, maybe occasionally fantasize about being with but rarely -> husbandos I self-insert with yet also pimp out to a guy -> one true husbando I prefer not to share. And these are all different characters who I still love in these ways.

Even if you don't have this happen, I see nothing wrong with you for what you said. There's a special relationship we have with characters like that and I don't know if there's a term for it. You could use a term like blorbo or make up your own.

The fudanshi I’ve encountered irl were all gay or bi male weebs, or gay/bi men who started to dip their toes into weebshit. The younger ones tend to have similar taste as your average fujo, ie not into barashit.

my boyfriend had a septiplier phase when he was like 12 but doesn't touch shipping stuff or fandoms in general any more

they exist but get shit on by barafags until they stop liking yaoi and move onto futa garbage

>literally me but i wear pants
It is time to revolt, sister.

this is literally me right now but no glasses and instead of a tank top it's a hoodie

>>1621

Thanks a lot Nonnas!

More and more stuff gets added to Crunchyroll (no OVAs with sex scenes, obviously).

>I don't usually read or seek original BL works, as I'm kinda picky with what I enjoy and tend to prefer slash or just making up original stuff of my own
I'm the same way. I prefer finding BL elements in other works and then read fanfic or doujinshis about it. Tbh I actually discovered pretty late how huge the original BL market is it was just something I never had any interest seeking out. I'm not against reading them but only a few of them appeals to me probably because I prefer stories where romance isn't the focus.
>is the term 'slash' even in use anymore?
The term slash had semi fallen out of fashion when I started getting active in fandom but it's still the term I prefer to use even though no one in my age group uses it. I only followed old fujos when I first used social media so it's the term that just seems more natural to me. Yaoi feels to "crude" and has been memefied, BL sounds too commercialised so it's weird to use it for fanworks and m/m ships is awkward to say out loud so slash is imo the best term. I also use femslash when talking about f/f pairings.
>I also rarely indulge myself in physical merch due to lack of time, money, and otaku activity where I live
I also relate to this lol. I never been a big merch collector in general because of lack of money and an otaku scene where I live. I'm also just not fond of small trinkets like those flat acrylic key chains and chibi plushies which seems to be 90% of all merch made for fujos or maybe I'm not looking hard enough idk.

I think it's only western fujo who get caught up on whether shipping f/f makes you less fujo or not, because JP, KR, and TW seem to all genderbend and pair the spares like crazy and the lingerie is really cute. I think the bigger difference is if you consume mainstream f/f content or stuff made by other women, because they do feel very different. I think fujo art is more about domestic activities, dressing up, and feeling softness. Reminds me of 90s shoujo when the protagonists (male ones even) got a new outfit every title page that was never seen again.

Personally I feel more guilty for not reading BL very often or being put off by what seems to be the most common and popular types of BL. I've always been into genre fiction so I need horror/supernatural or fantasy themes going on to pique my interest, and it's easier to read an existing series with those and go "and then he was his dragon". I still skim summaries and read odds and ends of college professor romances and arranged marriage in the country, but there's a lot that leave no impression on me and I quit after a few chapters. I feel more like I'm in my own world than any kind of standardized consumer of gay mangos who knows what is going on with the genre.

How do you guys feel about wanting to see male characters get pegged? I've had fujo friends who wouldn't think anything of seeing a married character and going "yeah he's pegged, look at that little bitch", and it was fun honestly, but when I come back into wider fandom I realize some people would be repulsed by the inclusion of a woman or sex toys. I don't think it's a compromise on making the character do gay stuff, because we were simultaneously shipping him with his childhood friends while the wife was out of town, but it's definitely a more canon compliant sexual fantasy than I remember people writing as teens. In the end we still wanted a dude ahegaoing in a pool of fluids but I feel like the older crowd is trying every character combination for that. On a less stellar note, I've also seen younger fujos trying to drag the term pegging and strap into m/m ships and why the fuck are you talking about pegging when you already have penises?! You have the equipment, where are you attaching this thing?! Just use dildos and beads like a normal rotten brain.

>>2277
tbh, i'm a normie casual with super vanilla taste.

>>2363
I used to have these Lisa Frank pens that I would ship, little me could not be restrained.

>>2368
picrel's one i'm quite fond of. yeah

>>2369
I did stuff like this as a child, too. Middle school — I remember making my erasers kiss in the middle of class. Teachers either didn't see or didn't care. I was known for being a fidgety kid, so I don't think anyone paid it much mind. But I always wondered and worried if anyone could tell what I was doing, daydreaming and playing out an improvised love story with two cheap, lead-covered erasers.

>>2369
When I was little I used to also ship object - I paired my mom's flowers and plants and made them imaginary weddings, I even moved them close to each other.
And when we were learning about the periods of literature I made every period a persona and imagined dramas with them that involved cheating haha.

>>2295
This gives me Bardonic vibes for some reason
Probably because Sangwoo is so muscular and popular and Bum is a bitch protag hahaa

>>2302
He's a nutjob and I'd never want to interact with him irl. In fact, ignoring all the actual psycho shit he does, his charismatic cover is terrifying and I can't stand people who are that charming. They genuinely scare me.

As a character I don't think he's very complex. He's hot though. I wish he really had killed Bum.

>>2302
I find it funny that he's 5’9. I don’t know why but that makes me giggle cause I’m half an inch taller then him. I know that 5'7" is average height for South Korean men, so I guess he is tall by those standards

>>1931
You're right nona, i just had a moment of weakness. I shall stand proud and loud

>>1929
You seriously couldn't have posted this in here >>861 ?
