I'm sorry to my fellow fujoshis out there! No offense! I love you all!



EDIT:
Right, never expect this thread to go up again lol
This thread was just some outburst of one of those worse days. Anyway I'm alright. Still doing everything I mentioned above... but alright.
I'm quite happy in my current fandom and there are tons of materials to keep going. And because the series is just starting, the fanworks are just gonna keep coming.
My denial phase was over and now I'm embracing my fujoshi self.
Even though it ruined my life lol, but I do feel the happiest with my OTP.

Only medical treatment can cure you, the patology that causes fujoshi to see gay pairings in every show with straight romance is a severe one.

Why would you want a cure for that? Isn't being a fujoshi something like a lifestyle?
Why would you want to quit something that makes you feel good?

If you really need a "life" you can simply have one along with your fujoshi things. Leaving something you love behind won't make you any happier.

Seriously, just keep on with it and try to add different stuff to your routine, that way you'll stick with the things you love and will have new things to dive into. It shouldn't be hard, the secret is: you have to start.

Basically you're like me but more "extreme" for some reason. I can somewhat relate to you because my favourite genre is romance and I want things to go my way. I'm constantly looking for romance shows, watching them and rewatching old ones when I can't remember them clearly. Although I've been running out of romance shows lately.
I feel like anyone who has an absolute favourite genre decided will be able to relate to you to some degree. Which is why I said you're like me but more "extreme".

As for how to cure a fujoshi, I have no idea. I don't know how bad it is for you so if I said anything rude, my bad.

I think if you really want to cure it you need to force yourself to stop reading fanfics. But you should embrace who you are and the type of anime you like. :) No one complains that much about people who only watch ecchi so it's ok to be a fujoshi too.

I'm sorry to my fellow fujoshis out there! No offense! I love you all!

But I do wonder sometimes if I ever be able to stop being a fujoshi. It's tiring. It's draining.
And I'm tired.
Being a fujoshi limit my enjoyment in watching anime so significantly.
It limit my selection of anime very significantly because I only want to watch anime that has bromance in it. Lately it's harder and harder to watch anime without any bromance in it.
I'm tired of watching the author hints towards the straight ships.
I'm tired of having to endure the pain of when the straight ships will eventually become canon.
I prayed to every deity for my shounen anime to end without showing the characters getting married (like Naruto and Bleach, thank god I don't have ships in both of them)
I'm tired of feeding from fanfictions and doujinshis.
I'm tired of shipping ships that is impossible from the very beginning.
I want to experience the happiness of when my ships become canon. (which will never happen because I'm a fujoshi that ships m/m ships in shounen anime)
I'm tired of people calling me disgusting.
I'm tired of shipping.

Yet

I can't stop.

Because if I stop I feel like I don't have anything to look forward to anymore.
Because if I stop I feel empty :>

When I ran out of fanfictions, I reread the ones I enjoyed the most.
When I finish reread all of them, I rewatch the anime to see the slightest interaction between the two males.
When I've done everything, I desperately needs a new ship to latch into. Hopefully a popular ship.
I even studied Japanese, I browse pixiv and read and buy raw doujinshis.
I work hard to earn money so I can buy doujinshis.
I cried because my ships are just so beautiful.
i feel like my ships is the only thing that make me happy :>

I need a life :> HELP


There's only one solution. Double down AND READ MORE

Have you considered getting into writing? I don't think your obsession is necessarily bad for you, it just needs a good outlet :)

Just replace all your fujo stuff with ecchi-harem shows.., it'll cure itself!

Alternatively, just enjoy what you watch and stop caring what people thinks about you?

Or get some nice straight friends..

Or watch anime with other people..

Or Participate in straight shipping, join the best girl / best girl wars aka waifu wars!

Anything works as long as you have the will..

You're doomed, there is no cure. Just accept your fate and start collecting cats that will eventually eat you when you die alone.

I guess the problem is that the producers also target this fujoshi market through "normal" animes and include the bait fan service. Im not into Yaoi, but just watch the comments about Kyo Ani's Hibike about the raging Yuri fans gotten messed around. ^^ So its not completely your "fault".

@ solution: I dunno how serious you are about this and how much it actually annoys you, but seeing your last sentence, you have to fill your real life with something to have distraction, well and meaning. If that happens, I guess your fujoshi delusions get weaker and less annyoing, if thats what you really whant.

You can't escape, there's no cure either, even getting a boyfriend won't cure it, in fact it could lead to it intensifying especially if you're dating a very attractive male.

to be fair, i can't blame people for considering fujoshis disgusting when they go too far with the obsessive shipping. idk if that's your case too, though

that said, it's simple. you just stop. you just do it. the best solution to a problem is the quickest and simplest resolution. which in this case is just stopping. like dealing with a band-aid.

Depends on how far is too far.
If you mean by too far is telling the author to kill themself because my ship didn't canon, I'm not one of them.

No no dear, I'm still enjoyed it so much!! Too much tbh that I feell like I need to stop.
I'm afraid people around me will find out sooner or later. Especially my mom lmao.

So you want to cure yourself because being a fujoshi is too hard for you? You are going to abandon everything you love and become another boring hetero shipper even though you obviously want some bromance action? I am honestly disappointed in you. The easiest thing is to join the majority. And don't give too much of a fuck about Naruto, those endings were because of Japan's low birth rate, we all know why he was chasing Sasuke all these years.

also if you are out of fanfics you can try creating some by yourself.

Thank you! Your comment make me a little braver XD

Ship a couple that receives a lot of hate from the fujoshis for either being straight or because they bore them by being too sweet and not fitting into the usual abusive seme x uke with Stockholm syndrome stereotype from a series where multiple ships are possible. Then post about how much you like them over the abusive pair on tumblr or a fb group.

^It really works, it not only prevented me from becoming a fujoshi when I was in the very initial stages but also made me hate them with a passion. The cancerous fandom itself will do wonders!

lmao, I can't not agree with that.

Actually I never joined shipping war.

The recent Tokyo Ghoul incident gave me headache with how much touken shippers gloat and then throwing shit in our tags because of the "kill you self" incident.

It might work, but I'm not the type to be discouraged by a cancerous fandom. Probably because I used to it lmao.

EDIT:
Fun fact:
How I look for an anime to watch these days
1. Go to AO3
2. Browse the anime fandom
3. Look for fandom that has >1000 works
4. Check out the anime at MAL
5. Decide to watch or not watch
in short, it's determined by how much fanfics the anime have before I decided to watch it lmao

Anyway, thank you for the varying answers. As much as I want to stop being a fujoshi, it's not as simple as to just stop. It's harder than to stop watching anime for me. I can not watch anime for 2 years (did that, I just got back from hiatus), but I can't go by even a day without reading something about my OTP.
As of now, my OTP is the only thing that give me warmth and happiness. But I have to let this go sooner or later. It's more complicated that what I elaborate here, I have other reasons.

I do think maybe get a boyfriend is a way to lessen my obsession, but I can't imagine myself being in a relationship tbh so Idk. Okay this is getting too personal but no harm in confiding to a strangers right?

I never in a relationship before, if a guy approached me, I usually just ran especially if I actually liked the guy back.
I'm socially awkward and it's 10 times worse in front of opposite gender lmao.

Thanks for sharing the link!

"I will never have what those women have. I cannot be that woman. Comparatively, I will always be lesser, have been told I will always be lesser, and these things make me acutely aware that I don’t measure up. So it hurts. It hurts to be reminded of all my failings and the fact that no one will ever see me as a romantic lead or even potential romance in someone’s life.
With slash, I don’t have to worry about it. I can enjoy the romance, the relationship, the banter, the squabbles, the LIFE, without putting myself in a position to constantly compare myself to the leads and finding myself coming up short every time. I’m not a man. I have no desire to be one (though if you do, go for it and I’ll support you every step of the way). I literally cannot be that character, so it’s free of that burden and I can simply enjoy two people finding each other and finding something I never will."

I never joined shipping wars either but just mentioning that I like <some character who is not the one they pair with the MC> itself makes me get a wall of text + hate speech from fujoshits. I don't even have to mention anything about shipping those two.

I don't know if you are a part of the cancerous side of the fandom or someone who is just more tolerant to those things but looks like you've already crossed over so there's no escape now. Just resign to your fate and become a good fujoshi who doesn't spread hate and force her ships as "canon" on others.

Wow that's sucks :/

I never post hate post/hate speech (and thankfully never received one either)

And I also avoided them like a plague. If I run into a hate post in our tag, I do everything in my power to ignore it.

Focus on what I like and spread the love, that's what I do! XD

No escape huh... I still need to find it sooner or later tho ; w ; (but I myself doubt it actually so I'm doomed)
