What does fujoshi mean?

Fujyo is the abbreviation of "fujoy", and "fu" means hopeless in Japanese. But it's not a curse word like "otaku", but a self-deprecating self-identification. Fujoshi or fujoshi mainly refers to women who like BL, which is the fantasy of male-male love. There are also those who regard "fujoshi" as those in-depth "otakus" who are dedicated to the creation of doujinshi.

The term "fujoyori" comes from Japanese and is derived from the homonym of "women's child (ふじょfujoy

し)". The word "fu" in fujoshi means hopeless in Japanese, and fujoshi specifically refers to women who have a special liking for male-male love - BL series. Women who like such works usually laugh at each other. of teaching. When people outside this group call these women "rotten girls", it is a term that connotes derogation and contempt. In some places in Japan, it is impolite to call someone a "fujoshi" directly. The situation is similar, and "otaku (オタク)" is also used as a derogatory term by the outside world. (However, otaku was not originally a self-deprecating term.) Like the word "moe", the use of "fu" means that fujoshi have BL fantasies about specific ACGs or male characters and relationships in the real world. Fujoshi mainly refers to women who like BL. In addition to ACG works, TV series, movies, etc. (regardless of whether the work itself is BL), most fujoshi also have daydreams about the relationship between men in the real world, such as: idols (Japanese) J banned and many visual kei groups), historical figures (Japanese Shinsengumi or Bakumatsu figures, ancient Chinese literati, emperors, etc.), etc. In short, fujoshi are creatures that rely on love to sprout their small universe. First of all, people’s most common understanding is that “fujoshi” are those deep “otakus” who are dedicated to the creation of doujinshi. This statement is actually correct, but strictly speaking, among such otakus, those who really like BL are the real fujoshi. In addition to otakus, there are also some women who like singers and stars. They usually have the bad taste of "whether it is a 2D fictional character or a real person, in any case, they first match men in their minds and imagine them falling in love." In other words, regardless of whether they are otakus or not, any woman who has this tendency can be called a "rotten girl". All in all, fujoshi are divided into three versions: "only otakus who have no special love for BL", "otakus who like BL" and "women who are not otakus but are interested in forbidden male relationships". So some people say, "I am a fujoshi, but not an otaku". When a woman calls herself a fujoshi, it is difficult to tell whether she is a "BL manga lover", a "character lover" or a "BL paranoid girl" with just one sentence. (Category 3) In fact, the term fujoshi originated very early, and it began to appear and spread around the second half of the 1980s. The word "otaku" was mostly used to refer to male anime fans at the time, while women were called "otaku". These women simply called themselves fujoshi out of self-deprecation and self-abuse. As a result, the word gradually became fixed. However, unlike the encounter with the term otaku, the term fujoshi has not been popularized. In the final analysis, fujoshi

is because this word is first and foremost a special word for them to refer to themselves (for example, in many In Japan's famous doujinshi, female writers took the lead in calling themselves fujoshi), and the term does not mean to belittle themselves. In other words, unlike "otaku", fujoshi only have the function of self-deprecation from the beginning and cannot become a vocabulary used by external forces to attack them. As a result, the scope of use of this word can only be limited to the narrow scope of "fandom", and it is even less likely to be quoted by mainstream media. Therefore, fujoshi is just a self-identification, and there is no strict unified definition. Nowadays, most of the domestic understanding of "fujoshi" is women who like BL among the three categories. Recently, the term "fujoshi" has gradually begun to attract attention from the anime media. Even at the C72 (Japan's 72nd Doujinshi Exhibition) that ended not long ago, the power of fujoshi overwhelmed otakus for the first time. However, the term fujoshi itself is not actually a new product. Its birth can be traced back to the 1980s or earlier. There is a theory that the first issue of comicJUN released in 1978 is its origin, but there is also a contrary theory that the word "fujoshi" appears in it. There are overwhelming opinions that the etymology is from doujinshi, but specific information does not exist. There is also a saying that "fujoshi" refers to a type of people who like heavy taste in BL works (that is, H descriptions account for the majority of works).

Reasons for editing this paragraph

1. The family structure is relatively complete. Most fujoshi are formed gradually after puberty. The integrity of the family structure gives fujoshi a psychological sense of security. In addition, the completeness of father's and mother's love from childhood makes adolescent women turn to the opposite sex love fujoshi

. And because the economic foundation of a complete family is solid and will not put pressure on the sensitive psychology of young girls, they gradually seek affection from the opposite sex to make up for the emptiness caused by adolescence. 2. Family education is traditional or more traditional. Family is far more important to women than men, especially before adulthood. The emotional psychology of a girl makes her accept the education of her parents and rarely rebel. However, in traditional family education, sex education is not open, and the sex between men and women is not open. It became a forbidden area, and it was considered a sign of impurity for adolescent girls to talk or even think about it. Although this does not exist on the surface, it is deeply rooted in their subconscious. Some people would say that the fujyo phenomenon came from Japan. Japan is a country with an open personality. How could the fujyo phenomenon also occur? What I want to explain here is that the person who said this is someone who has only a little knowledge of Japanese culture. Japan’s sexual openness is one-sided and a special manifestation of male chauvinism. Different from the sexual openness in Europe and the United States, Japan's sexual openness is one-way, that is, it is only open to men, and women are accessories to men. Men and women have a one-way choice, men choose women, rather than the two-way choice in Europe and America, men and women Choose each other. This is why the fujoshi phenomenon in Europe and America is not obvious. It can be seen that the idea of ??"female inferiority" left in women's subconscious in some Eastern countries is also one of the reasons for the emergence of rotten girls. (Because this feeling of inferiority to women is subconscious, fujoshi generally do not realize their thoughts of inferiority to women) 3. Information, and various novels and animations. Adolescent girls will receive many sexual things intentionally or unintentionally. The appearance of these has deepened girls' fantasies about love to varying degrees. So that the emotions that were originally bound can be released. Let them identify with love that has nothing to do with sex, fertility, etc. There is no purpose to measure love, it is simply to be excited for the appearance of feelings. 4. Before becoming fujoshi, they were walking on thin ice amid the confinement of their thoughts and their ignorant pursuit of love. Sexual fantasies related to oneself are prohibited and discriminated against, and the desire for love and sex is a biological instinct. Under the influence of this ambivalence, homosexual fantasies about men and women have been bred. This fantasy has several advantages. ① Be responsible for yourself, because you did not participate in the fantasy behavior and avoid being considered lewd or unclean. ②Imagining that both parties or oneself are men can satisfy the inner desire for the opposite sex, and can also imagine the perfect love pursued by women, avoiding the responsibility for the fantasy characters in reality. ③They who have no sexual experience always have instinctive fear when it comes to sexual fantasies between men and women. I believe that men are driven by animalistic nature. There is no such fear during BL, because the love at this time is pure, so the sex is also pure. ④ In the fantasy, both parties or oneself are men, and the roles they play are the ones they like very much. At this time, the girl's inner need for playfulness can be satisfied, while avoiding the mental self-condemnation caused by the playfulness.

Essential features for editing this paragraph

1. Make liking BL literary and artistic works a very important hobby. (Mild hobbies do not count, they must be very dependent on BL) 2. Like YY boys. It means taking non-gay anime, novels or characters and making them into gay couples, that is, forcibly making them into BL CP. (The fact that YY is not gay but gay is a characteristic of all fujoshi, and it is also an important part of fu culture and danbi culture. If you don’t have the characteristic of YY and just simply like some excellent Shimizu’s BL works, then you Only semi-fujou, slightly fujoshi or non-fujoshi) One thing to note: Many people mistakenly believe that fujoshi are "a group that supports and understands homosexuality." It is undeniable that many fujoshi do this, but there are still a large number of fujoshi who are just. Those who support Danmei because of beautiful characters do not necessarily support homosexuality in reality. Moreover, a large number of non-corrupt people now express support and understanding for the gay community. Therefore, there is no need to become corrupt to support true same-sex love, and one can support true same-sex love without being corrupt. Supporting homosexuality is not a characteristic of fujyo. The two most essential characteristics of fujyo and fujyo culture are the only two.
