Are you LGBT?

Kind of a bad take since it's not like all asexuals use the SAM anyway. Well I chose "other"

This is one of the better posts + convo cause I was worried when I saw the question because som people on MAL are so annoying and misogynistic, homophobic, ableist, racist etc. Like i get so annoyed sometimes and these comments are mostly good. It's also about given so it prob has a lot to do with that if u watch bl ( not fetishizing) have a little bit higher probability of being decent. ( omni nb)

ok course being a fujoshi doesn't mean you're straight, but in case we're talking about the straight girls that we encounter, because personally I've never seen a mlm saying they're a fujoshi, we're just talking about how bad they are, I totally get what you mean, and you're right but keep in mind what most fujoshis do.

That's because the word fujoshi is usually specific to women, although the definition isn't super hard, so men calling themselves fujoshi is fine. Although most of the time they use fudanshi.the male specific term. KrisPNats one of my favorite anitubers is a bisexual king who uses the term himself.
I think this weird hate of elusive "fujoshis" is really a cover to smear what are originally Japanese names and concepts with your weird western connotations. It's not what fujoshis do. It's like grouping together all Fans of one show and calling the fanbase toxic. You've probably never been a part of said fanbase and are just an on looker who has seen a few people spread around some cringey stuff from said fanbase. Fujoshi are the same. Most just keep to themselves. And often there is an overlap between fujoshi and Yuri fans or shoujo fans.
I just don't know why westerners are reaching so hard to smear Japanese terms. Fujoshi or yaoi, you have made up your own definitions for these terms not based off of the worst parts of the community and then declared that there are new and purer words that must be used. No. They are fine terms. Use them at your leisure with the proper cultural context in mind.

I know it's not good to generalize, and yes I have been and I am in fandoms that are very often generalized, but like I said I'm only talking by personally experience, I've never encountered a non homophobic straight girl that calls herself a fujoshi. Of course not everyone is like that but when you always encounter the same people in that determined group, you are gonna associate the people that you've encountered to the next time you hear the name of the fandom, it just happens, and I personally have been treated really bad by a lot of fujoshis so of course if someone says to me that they're a fujoshi I'm gonna feel suspicious and uncomfortable.

there's a thing called comhet (compulsory heterosexuality) where lesbians/nblw experience attraction towards men they can never reach/be with. That includes celebrities, fictional men..ect. They can still Basically, they identify as bisexual, when in reality they might be lesbian. You should search it up, it actually helped me discover my sexuality :)

But, I'm not a woman. I'm a guy.

Also, I'm attracted to feminine guys, but not masculine ones. I also find vaginas gross, but I find penises okay.

ulltimate_shutup said:
sorry if I got anything wrong, but isn't there sexual and romantic attraction? Like You can be bisexual and biromantic? I don't know much about the topic since I'm not asexual myself 😅

Haltija said:


There are people who have a separate sexual and romantic identity, yes. But there are also a lot of people who dismiss asexuality by saying that the romantic hetero/homo/bi identity is the "real" identity and asexuality is just some "modifier" and not a real sexuality.... I've seen this so much, even in school books in my country, and it's so harmful because it sets the idea that hetero/homo/bi identities are the "actual" identities and asexuality is something less important. It becomes especially difficult with aromantic asexuals and asexuals who don't use any romantic orientation terms. Stuff like the poll, I'm sure it works for the asexuals to whom their hetero/homo/bi romantic orientation is more relevant than their asexuality and that's valid and all. But to me especially since I see asexuality as the primary identity term, it just seemed kind of odd to me that asexuals were spread all across the options.

No it's not something serious but a bit of a pet peeve of mine.

I have a lot lgbt friends and they really good people and To be honest much prefer for lgbt friends than straight. They are more attentive and approachable when you have a problem.

I’m not against being lgbt as long as they don’t do bad things and interfere with other lives.

ImwithRazor said:
exactly like, I had a conversation with one of them and they literally fetishize mlm relationships, but then find wlw relationships disgusting, like plss.

ImwithRazor said:
and that's totally fine I prefer to consume queer content because I'm queer, but I also enjoy good romance anime regardless of the sexuality of the characters.

wtf that's just weird man dont get me wrong I love seeing an adorable gay couple as much as the next person but to go as fair as they do is just weird man also to only support mlm relationships and not wlw relationships is just not right

xershey said:
Why is fujoshi a option now??? Is it a sexuality??? Didn’t know that

cornniblitz said:
why... why do i have to be lgbtq to like mlm? genuine question. i've just gotten into the bl fandom and it seems that straight people aren't allowed to be fans (especially if you're female for some reason) can someone please explain why? T•T is it the same for lgbtq people supporting hetrosexual relationships?

that's all. i would appreciate your answer. thanks :)

Wow, that's a lot of Bi women.

Yo fujos I just want you to know if you are not a Japanese woman you aren't a fujo you're just a weirdo 💗 no one likes you

Nurguburu said:
Yeah, I'm gay, male, fudanshi and I love Given.

kim_tina_4404 said:
hay let's not do that now if ever they cross the line or anything we'll stop them if they're just watching yaoi behind closed doors or in their own comfort zone I'm happy so let's just respect that.....I guess??

a0t3a said:


hun... What I said was an objective fact. Fujoshi is an east asian woman who consumes bl and content with queer men. White women can not be fujos

Mirai said:
I'm super straight, where does that fit in?

Bucketly said:
Glad there was only one fujoshi in the poll. Those mfs scare me.
