Anti Fujo Cringe #3
Post cringy anti-fujos takes to laugh at or even discuss.China's crackdown on erotica
So this has been confirmed by all my Chinese mutuals, who have told me how hopeless things have become there and it's only getting worse. In 2014 obscenity laws were passed in China that mainly targeted mainstream porn sites, but gay content was also included and targeted, forcing Chinese BL authors to use more 'flowery language' if they were writing something intended for an 'audience' in public, but on foreign sites (Western but mostly Taiwanese) they could be more free, still it was gradually building up to this, starting from 2022(according to my mutuals) the underground sites were removed en-masse, now the Chinese government even forces foreign companies to meet their standards. If you are a Chinese citizen who even writes anything about gay romance, you will go to jail for itAydens/Fakebois in BL spaces
Aydens are currently the biggest internal cancer in BL spaces, outsiders hate us that's a given but Aydens participate and "contribute" to our fandoms, with pussyboys, male characters with mastectomy scars and PIV sex between characters that are biological males and ruin itAnti fujo cringe 2

Self-inserting has always been a thing, however, more than ever has it not taken in an almost parasitic and viral infestation in general fandom and the BL scene.Fandom and Industry Trends, Analysis and Observations
Thread for meta-commentary on trends in the fujoshphere, including but not limited to:Fujoshi origin story thread #2
How did you become a fujoshi?"Lost" BL media
A thread for lost BL media. I have recently been looking for the June magazine, a BL magazine that ran in 70s and 80s. I have unable to find any copies or scans of it. If anyone has information about it let me know. Post any other lost media you are on the look out for or any obscure Bl media for preservation.crack parings and irony
I wanted to discuss the concept of crack pairings and the concept of ironic shipping as it relates to fandom. Feel free to post anything that relates to the topic, or to post art, but I'll ask a few questions to start.Anti/Pro discourse thread
Discuss the current state of modern fandoms with the anti/pro discourse.Shipping based on attractiveness vs character dynamics
Right now, ship wars for gay paring are much less common than in the past, but I notice one divide that still exists, a popular ship based on which male leads are the most conventionally attractive will usually be at odds with another ship, based on actual character development, an example I grew up with was Beyblade where the two most shipped characters were Kai and Rei, despite not having much interaction because they looked the most attractive. The most famous example of this would be One Piece, where Zosan remains the most popular for the same reasonWatch Gundam with me
I would like to watch some Gundam with nonas, using a service such as Cytube.Anime piracy becoming less accessible
A few hours ago, Aniwave (9anime) and Anix were shut down, it seems like it was hit by a DMCA claim. These were big sites that hosted thousands of different animes. Companies seem to be going hard against piracy sites and it makes me wonder if they'll go for manga next.In BL, should men/boys act like gay men?
The sentence "If you'd replace one or two of the main leads with women, nothing changes" made me wonder if Yoai or Bl can benefit from a bit of realism. I'm on camp neutral, personally. I don't mind some reality in my m/m smut, but one of the reasons I like BL and Joseimuke is the decoupling expectations.NOTP gen
I believe we need containment thread for NOTP posting.Ships your fujometer never went off for
A thread for ships that often get brought up as 'super gay' or are at least popular that you never got the vibe for, doesn't even have to be ships you dislike just ones that you never really got.Western gay male vocabulary infecting BL spaces
I feel in the last 6 years or so, gay male vocabulary has found its way in various BL spaces from fan-fics to fansubs and even official translations of BL works, I have seen the word twink being used for male character who have literally average builds and I literally lose a year of my life when I see the word bussy and now even more dumb gay twitter shit is spreadingFujo Venting
Life's not fair, especially for fujoshi, and even more so for fujoshi exclusively attracted to males. Post your frustrations and things that are on your mind, no matter how harsh it sounds, about advantages everyone else has that fujoshi don't get.Fujoshi discord
https://discord.gg/KjNWs37K7FFujoshi level
I'm always curious to know as to what level my fellow fujos consider themselves to be at when it comes to being a fujoshi, what sets you apart from the regular fujofolk? What actions and/or interests give you a boost to your fujoness? Also on the flip side, what do you think you're into that makes you less of a fujo or what do others do that deem them not fujoshis?Fujoshi and Feminism
I really hope this thread won't cause too much infighting since its a bit political but do you think Fujoshi and Feminism are compatible? I personally think yes. Nothing about being a fujoshi benefits men and feminism has always been against men. Radfem circles tend to be a bit hostile against fujoshis and throw around the word "fujo" as an insult for some reason. I wonder what a regular fujo's thoughts would be on that.Fujoshi Reactions

Not sure if this is the right board, but I'm willing to tl small pages or single images, if it's not walls of text or very messy handwritten stuff (lol). I could use the practice.Yaoi paddle
