A fujoshi is a someone (usually a girl) who like to read or watch males interacting. It is mainly in anime and is called 'yaoi'. Some people get turned on by it and others don't. This does not make them a pervert, many people see fujoshi's as disgusting for liking it but it's as natural as a person watching porn. Many, MANY people watch (or read) it and like it. It is also commonly known as BL (boys love)
"So she like's seeing guys being close together?"
"Yup, she's a fujoshi."

Fujoshi is a japanese word that describes female BL readers. It directly translates to "rotton girl" or "girl with a rotton thought process." In the early 2000s, it was used as an insult for m/m shippers of non-m/m works, and was a misygynistic term to deem these women unfit for marriage. However, japanese women have reclaimed that word to use as a self-deprecating term, today it is an innocent word that describes female BL readers.
Please keep in mind, fujoshi does NOT equal fetishizer and doesn't mean "woman who fetishizes gay men by reading BL," like many westerners like to say.
Person A: "Eww. You're a Fujo? That's disgusting, you fetishize gay men!"
Person B: "Yes, I'm a Fujoshi, but thta isn't a bad thing! I don't fetishize gay men and the word fujoshi does not have a negative meaning at all! There is nothing wrong with liking gay romance."
Person A: "Oh okay, thank you for telling me."
(Please don't be pussy and listen to people who try to educate you on a topic they have better sources for, like Person A does, thanks. :)

fujoshi are girls and women who likes to ship hot men together, most people get this wrong and think they ship them together because itβs gay but itβs because they are hot that they do it. Fujoshiβs often ship anime men. And most fujoshi read yaoi and bl.
Lily is a very proud fujoshi, her favorite yaoi is βMy Wife is An Alphaβ

In interpretation, a rotten woman who consumes the content of boys love. Though reading boys love as a women does not necessarily mean you are a fujoshi ( fu-joe-shee ) It is the way you behave around it. If you get off to boys love or as some like to call it β yaoi β ( ya-oh-we )then you are not a fetishizer ( but itβs still wrong ). Though, if you want to be in a relationship with a gay man as a woman then you are. This word has been misunderstood humongously and has been used in the wrong ways. Being a fujoshi is not something to boast or be proud about. Being a fetishizer is also not something to be proud of. The lesson here is that it is okay to read boys love as a woman, but it is not okay to be a fujoshi.
These are not actual terms, I made them up so please donβt confuse them + I will give details. n/n: no name ,
a/n: anonymous name, n/nf: no name fetishizer
n/n: Hey, Iβm a woman who likes reading boys love. Is it okay to call myself a fujoshi?
a/n: No, that isnβt a word you should use to describe yourself with unless you are one. The meaning is β a rotten girl β which means a woman who enjoys reading boys love and does dirty things with it ( masturbate ).
n/n: Oh! I did not know that! Thank you for informing me, but I can tell you that I am just a woman who reads boys love for the plot!

n/nf: Hey, Iβm a woman who likes reading boys love! Is it okay to call myself a fujoshi?
a/n: No, that isnβt a word you should use to describe yourself with unless you are one. The meaning is β a rotten girl β which means a woman who enjoys reading boys love and does dirty things with it ( masturbate ).
n/nf: Oh, but I do masturbate to it because the men are so rough! I wish I could date a gay man to have sexual intercourse with them. So itβs okay to call myself a fujoshi?
a/n: The term fujoshi does sit kind of right with you if you do sexual stuff by reading boys love, but you still do not want to have that label. What you are doing is fetishizing gay men and their sexual relationships. Which is not okay.
