Because it's strange to fetishize another person's sexuality, even if they are an anime character. Fujos often misinterpret male friendships as homoerotic and get angry when you disagree with them - at least that's the experience I've had with fujos online and IRL (and the fujos in this thread seem to be quite upset too). I find it hilarious that a lot of people on this thread are equating not liking gay-obsessed women with sexism and misogny as if it's some knee-jerk reaction. It's really not that deep. I think the same about guys who are obsessed with lesbians, it's the fetishization of LGBTQ+ people without actually supporting them, you are just supporting a warped idea of them. |

Hardcore shipper communities tend to be very toxic fujoshies are no exception. They also have double standards, constantly complaining about sexualization and objectification of female characters while doing the same things with male characters. |

Some of them seem to unironically believe, that there is no such thing as friendship between two characters of the same gender, any interaction between the two immediately means they're into eachother and it's canon and attack anyone who disagree. |

From an old(er) man watching to much anime I will never understand the need to judge if you enjoy it watch it if you don't that's fine just don't tell others what they should or should not watch. But then I'm either preaching to the deaf or the already learned so its kind of a pointless discussion really. |

Fujos are toxic, cringe and disgusting in general , but lately Yuri fans have also caught up and are just equally obnoxious. Then again, anime fans in general also share those same traits so it’s something predominantly got to do with anime watchers in general. The reason why I feel Fujos in general are usually seen as the trash of the weeb circles is because they’re kinda more united which in turn brings out a more unified hatred targeted at them? To further my point, let’s say M really likes X anime and N really hates X. More often than not, this might turn into a toxic insult hurling argument, but because people’s taste is so diverse when the subject involves hatred and love for an anime/character, people really are different and diverse and can like or dislike anything to different degrees which means that in a general scenario, most people will likely not be affected as a collective consciousness if you like or dislike M. It’s a totally different matter when it comes to ships because shipping is a matter where the community is really polarised and hence you can see the haters and lovers getting united at the opposite spectrums and Fujos being lesser in number have gathered a bad reputation (which they do deserve, but so do the “Fujo haters”). |

There is a huge difference between actually supporting LGBTQ+ relationships and being a fujoshi/himedanshi. |

Well because some people, mostly homophobes get so angry and aggressive when someone dares to ship two characters with the same sex They get so hurt by this they actually are crying themself to sleep, but the pain doesn't stop there! It lingers into the next day. so they go into forums and bitch and cry about how horrible and mean the fujoshi girls are Same reason why we Yuri fans get attacked and hated all the time. It's called homophobia. And it's the shipping police who are the most aggressive here, not Yuri or Yaoi fans But their anger is NOT going to help, we love our gay ship and are not going to back down because some people get so hurt over the mere thought of homosexuality and that gay people exist I understand the fujoshi💕💕 and love gay ships myself. If anyone has a problem with that too bad for them! Use the fucking ignore function and stop reading our posts =) Lesbian ships are awesome,,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES |

It's because this is the internet and thus there are quite a few screeching misogynistic homophobes around. Also remember kids, if you are looking for the closeted gay guy in the room the safest money is on that weirdly loud homophobe that just seems to pop off randomly without any provocation about how "gross and immoral" homosexuality is and how disgusted and disinterested they are in it. Seriously, give it ten or 20 years and you'll be surprised just how many of them it turns out to be true for. Bonus points if they come from a conservative Christian background in which case you should double down on your bet. You can almost smell the denial wafting of these people sometimes. On the bright side, most seem happier and more at peace once they finally come out although I've seen a few that never do. |

Fujoshi get a bad reputation for the same reason lolicon does. They're literally two sides of the same coin. One of them wants to defile that which is pure and the other is fond of degradation. Both of them are perverted beyond belief, fundamentally corrupted.Why would a heterosexual woman be interested in homosexual men? Why is nobody able to answer that coherently? "Everyone has fetishes" - OK, got it, fetishes are these abstract things that are randomly assigned to people by some higher being. I thought you didn't believe in God? The answer, though, is that women are always able to get away with more things and more terrifying things in society, because men are more expendable (I don't make the rules, nature does) so people don't shame fujoshi as often as they shame lolicons.It's also that men are more likely to act on their criminal urges. |

Mainly sexism. But lots of women will get attacked by other women as well, that normally happens because a lot of people realise that they are reading/watching "problematic yaoi". Most men into yuri don't get much hate (on mal at least) because they have a community to back them up. I think a lot of men in general don't like seeing women "sexualise" men in any context. Even though they don't relate to a 2D gay man, they feel the need to attack women for being attracted to a 2D gay man. I've seen people ask why would a straight girl be into seeing to gay men together. Obviously this isn't the only reason but I believe it's because It's two attractive men who, unless they are bi, won't ever been seen with another woman. |

OberonFelsach said: ohohohohohoho said: Well said, though I don't think that the thing that women want is something very complicated. It's just that irl men refuse to offer it. In turn, a lot of women also started to refuse providing what men want, resulting in the insane backlash against feminism.fujoshi already existed in the 80s... people shipping naruto and hxh characters were by no means "the first wave" of fujoshi. also the gundam creators, for instance, embraced their female fans who shipped the male characters into relationships with each other. also like other people said it's largely misogyny. not just in the sense that it's ok to fetishize girls a la queerbait in yuri/kirarakei anime (which is true) but also in the sense that expressing female desire is not socially acceptable (unless it's girls fawning over girls because men like that anyway, or women desiring to be objectified/sexually instrumentalized) and in the sense that objectifying men is not really permissible either. it's like the common joke/expression goes: "nobody knows what women want, but we know men want women." perhaps we can add that if women want what men want them to want, that's not a problem. it's kind of tangential to point out but way more explicitly queer characters exist in shoujo and josei manga, even going back almost half a century; and even in some 90s TV anime when compared to today, where contemporary yuri anime is always a "class s" type of story, and yaoi (even queerbait) is not remotely as prevalent. mintchapstick said: Mainly sexism.

I've recognized at of the same men, who hate on fujoshis that much, also hate on every anime with cute boys in it because it's made exactly for female desires in mind. Same when they "invade" fandoms that are mainly made for men in mind, all the crying about "they ship male characters (that are sometimes queer-coded to begin with, sometimes just made up because they like their dynamics) in MY shounen / seinen fandom, how dare they." There were also complaints about shirtless or even naked figurines of male shounen characters and female and queer fans thirsting over them, because there are ofc no female figurines like that. And as soon as their desires go beyond the most wholesome and unsmutty romance, it's seen as a thorn by some. Also lot of "fujoshis" who get called that or aren't even calling themselves that, and it's certainly not "just a fetish" for most. I made the experience that it's enough to have queer ships and read boys love or girls love to get called that. Lot of them are just queer themselves. There have been these 15 yo old fujoshis, who harass real gay people and I experienced that once that a gay friend was fawned over, but they are very few in between. This "I experienced once a fujoshi harassing someone" is an excuse. |

I'm a yaoi fangirl but i also love to ship great het or yuri pairing canon or not. And indeed the main reason yaoi fangirls are so hated is a mix of general hating of everything fangirl related, misogyny and homophobia, not that the yaoi fandom itself dont have its own issues with it but they tend to be discussed and yaoi get better with years with its relationship with actual lgbt communities...also why on Earth almost every body wrongly presumes every yaoi fan is a girl who is straight? Most are not straight themsevles at least in the west from what i've seen. Futhermore in Japan yaoi did emerge as a way for women even straight one to express sexual desires they couldnt elsewhere. It could end up in fetishization at its worst but that was never really the aim. Now here in France we got i heard the most variety of yaoi titles outside Japan...editors of yaoi in France were really serious about not editing shotacon, and value diversity, so 70% of all the yaoi titles edited here in paper manga are not idealizing rape and abuse and are not cliche uke/seme dynamic...now their is a public for this most criticized yaoi genre and they have what they seek but usually critics tends to forget two things : 1-99,9% of rape and abuse in yaoi are not supposed to represent actually desirable relationships nor much less be a realistic gay representation, their intent is more rape fantasy with often bdsm overtones...in a way kind of the equivalent of straight twisted teen romance Twilight style, 2-the uke/seme cliche yaoi dynamic even when in not rape not abusive story is usually criticized a lot for being unrealistic and heteronormative...but in reality couples with a more fem and a more manly guy do exists, they are less common than in yaoi pairing but more than one such couples already told yaoi critics to shut up with that one for its erase the fact they do exist indeed. Also...no yaoi fangirl dont turn everything into bl personnally they are many animes were i dont ship anything, most yaoi fangirls i know also. In fact the most shipped series are always the same if we talk non canon, the ones with strong relationships getting very emotionals between populars and yes attractive guys usually. Honest most people in LGBT community i have interacted with dont mind yaoi or are yaoi fan themselves unless they dont know the genre well and judge it by the false reputation homophobic misogynists in anime fandom did it, i almost never heard complaints about fetishization in yaoi by people who were lgbt themselves unless about individual cases of some girls going very creepy (like yes real life shipping is disgusting like when the people you ship consented to it for christ sake?, jeez, and stop asking real life gay people personnal questions about sex just for your fic to be more realistic when they didnt told you they were ok for it before and please dont ask them if they are uke or seme, top or bottom thats weird especially if you dont know them so gross and also stop hating any main girl in anime you ship for standing in the way of your ship that get annoying fast, and stop saying straight or yuri ship are "disgusting"...wow...stop, (and this one is not as worse just a personnal thing i have issue with but damn stop shipping Ed and Al in FMA and FMAB the whole story is about platonic brotherhood...twisting it into incest really feel like missing the whole point) some really are pretty bad but overall they are just a vocal minority mostly made of teenage girls who learn to behave better growing up). Finally i'm also on the opinion that yuri fan do not have it better, there is way less yuri, the most easy to see is heavily male oriented and tends not to be liked either by straight or bi/lesbian girls and people who are all in arms against yaoi tends for many (except a few hypocrites who hates and caricature yaoi fangirls but are huge yuri fanboys themselves)...to be just as against yuri...for same reasons...and usually are homophobic in real life without too much surprise. The saddest part is many yaoi especially the softer ones have great stories that can interest any one and i have already make some cishet male otakus to enjoy some i recommended them for that but too much people wont even try yaoi just because of its false reputation, yaoi, yuri, straight romance, no romance...as long as the anime or manga is good i'm in it, i know many are the same but i'm sad to see so many makes artificial barriers for themselves that get them away for what this yaoi genre could offer that might surprise them and get them enjoy it more than they expected. |

There's a difference between being a fujoshi and being an obnoxious person or being a blatant hypocrite. I think most people don't care that much if you ship two husbandos together, but if you are an obnoxious hypocrite who criticizes others for their taste in anime, people will roast you, and rightfully so. This also goes to people who ship two waifus together. |

In its beginnings, the most commercial BL was considered an act of fetishism for gay men by the majority female (straight) public. It is much more commercialized unlike the GL so it doesn't receive as much criticism as it does with fujoshi. The gay critique is supposed to be that same-sex attracted characters are used only for pornography, and don't lend themselves to other stories where their sexuality can be developed more deeply, or other stories where it's not important but is there as part of the character. Moral criticism has also come to all this, considering the pornographic fantasy of this medium as disgusting and questionable, since there is usually the stereotype that one is the Seme (active person) and Uke (passive person) in any type of action where It can even include rape or harassment. At this point it seems silly to me, it is very demonstrable that gay people can consume this medium because they also, or can, have the same type of fantasy as a straight woman, regardless of whether it is porn or not. The same can be said of men who watch Shoujo, women in Shounen, etc. What should be criticized is not porn that includes openly gay people, but in other genres where they lack canonically gay characters. I doubt this is called homophobia, but rather a cultural ignorance of authors who have grown up around it and only write what others have done before, but there can be exceptions as well. |

Yeah. I dont even watched Free and more could be known about it just reading brief fan descriptions its obviously mostly a sport anime your really not even trying to know what you spit on and its shows. And as for Yuri on Ice yes i've watched it but not till the end because not my cup of tea but i've seen enough to see that the characters have just as much point and personality as in most other mix sport romance anime (shojo and shonen straight canon ship included) i'm aware of the existence of and seen at least a couple of episodes. And for Eva as someone in the topic before said same kind of thing about Kaworu no he isnt just a fujoshi bait, he do have a purpose a pivotal one indeed or he wouldnt be in the original, the movie EoE and the rebuild movie remake that sum up and shortens the story...there he got even more a role than is former one episode long intervention and sure his popularity among yaoi fan girls play a role so does it for why he appear more in the Eva mangas but his developpement was thinked way long before that quite seriously by Anno you can see it in the old script of his episode appearance futhermore most Eva fan did get his complex and important but short role as they discuss there : https://forum.evageeks.org/thread/16323/Kaworus-Motivation-Purpose/. What's even the point of dismissing shows and characters you dont even know or understand just to shit on them with no other reasons that yaoi fangirls like them? I really dont get this one. |

Why does anime fans get bad rep by majority? Why does any fan group get bad reputation? Obnoxious minority getting highlighted and negativity spreads faster and farther than anything positive + a bit of things other users here have mentioned. However everything negative about anime fans is true, so that hate is deserved. I personally enjoy all that BL and GL (and in general LGBT themed) shit, and even enjoy fan content created by shippers to other shippers. Do I go full apeshit over it? I hope not and try to keep that "hobby" in different parts of internet. At least I believe no one here could say what my otps are or what's the newest BL manga I liked. |

I actually dated someone who was fujoshi... or at the very least was bordering on it. So I overheard many discussions with her and another yaoi fan. They are very passionate about their ships. Sometimes to the point of overshadowing the discussion of the anime itself. And to me, as a straight guy, I didn't really relate much too it. I imagine, since most of the anime community (generally speaking, yada yada) are straight dudes, then it could get tiring if that is what you are discussing, especially online. But with that being said, I haven't really seen it happen much in online discussions. Then again I don't watch a lot of shows these days that have attractive male characters, so that could be why. |
This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |

I think it's wrong to boil it down to prejudices and gender bias. Remember that fujoshis in anime are portrayed as over obsessive, maybe that's the cause, or the result, idk. I feel it's got the same energy as 'otaku', well rooted on the japanese side. Just that on the rest of the globe, people may be using it as excuses to being sexist, granted there are actually obnoxious fujoshis too. It's just who's louder is being heard. |

It's considered perfectly fine when men ship female characters together, but when women do the exact same thing with male characters, suddenly it's bad. And because anime fanbase is predominantly male, fujos get way more people (men) bitching about them. Many times. |
