As we have mentioned in previous articles, Hatelabo: Anonymous Diary is a Japanese website where Internet users can share opinions and open debates completely anonymously. Unlike other social networks like Twitter and Facebook, this site works in an extremely primitive way, so someone simply posts their thoughts and waits for someone to respond.

It is precisely from this site that the most radical opinions of the anime fan community in Japan come, and recently was no exception. A new viral opinion has taken off for claiming that “fujoshi shouldn’t have a boyfriend” and that “any woman who has a boyfriend shouldn’t consider herself a fujoshi.”

Let's remember that “fujoshi” is a Japanese term to refer to female yaoi fans. (homosexual relations). Strictly speaking, it is a pejorative term, as it translates as “rotten woman”. But why shouldn’t they have a partner? Let’s review this fujoshi’s opinion:

• «What the hell happens to women who are in love and married in real life, even if they are fujoshi? Just because you like Boys' Love/Yaoi doesn't mean you don't like what is considered "normal" in the world? I am not remotely interested in real men, on the contrary, I hate them. Real men are hairy and dirty. They are rude, loud, scary and very harmful to women.
• I also hate the worldwide trend that it is considered normal for a man and a woman to be a couple. First of all, love is only a loss for the woman, it brings no benefit. The woman has to endure the fear of pregnancy, the man has the benefit of having his sexual desire satisfied, the woman has to spend money on makeup and clothes for the man while the man does not have to spend as much, and yet the average salary is lower for women, and the number of useless men who are reluctant to even buy a meal is increasing, and in today's world I don't think it's worth it for men and women to be in love.
• Of course, I know that this kind of thinking is considered abnormal in the world. But isn't the fujoshi community the place where we can sympathize with each other instead of being blamed for this abnormal thinking? With Boys' Love/Yaoi, you don't have to focus on the thrill of real romances. You can create your own ideal world with the kind of love you like as much as you want. Isn't that why people become fujoshi and enjoy Boys' Love/Yaoi, so they can enjoy their ideal romance without being bothered by real men?
• I read somewhere that a fujoshi introduced her boyfriend as a sales consultant, but I really can't believe it. I don't think fujoshi who have boyfriends, husbands, or are into real relationships are really fujoshi. Honestly, I think they should stop being fujoshi and start doing NL (heterosexual love) stuff.
• I always thought that today's female otakus call themselves fujoshi in the fashionable sense, but it's a relief to know that male otakus are also fujoshi. Otaku hobbies were the “salvation” for people like me, but it horrifies me that people who have other lifestyles besides otaku hobbies enter our realm with fashion sense. Please, if you have a boyfriend, don't call yourself a fujoshi.

And of course, this peculiar statement did not go unnoticed:

• «Come to think of it, lesbian porn has been quite popular in recent years.».
• «I could understand if you said you got dumped and it bothers you to see people with boyfriends, but a fujoshi?».
• «Wow, you really have a pathetic life.».
• «About 30 years ago, the term “fujoshi” was quite common, and even girls who enjoyed gay love while having a boyfriend were not seen as bad. However, nowadays there is a lot of classism in anime communities.».
• «I don’t understand the sentiment. However, the terms “otaku” and “fujoshi” have become common usage in today’s world. This means that no one really judges you for being “that.” The sad thing is that now the discrimination comes from within.».
• «Aren't you confusing fujoshi with ardida?».
• «I won't deny that there are many fujoshi who hate real men, but there are also many fujoshi who love them, and it's not uncommon for them to get involved in a heterosexual relationship.».
• «I don't understand the question, so fujoshi can only have another fujoshi as a partner? Or how does it work?».
