【Rant】Anti Lesbian Fujo = Gold Star Lesbian 2.0
Wednesday, 18 December 2024 12:04I'm sure im not the only crazy enough who think this recent wave of online discourse on Twitter of ''why do lesbian likes yaoi or become fujoshi?'' are just repackaged Gold Star Lesbian right.....
Like, this discourse is always framed with statements like, ''I'm genuinely asking, why do lesbians become fujoshi? Girl, what are you getting out of watching 2 men having homosexual sex?'' and then it veers into Gold Star lesbian rhetoric or polilez Kool-Aid, attempting to ''question'' lesbian fujoshi sexuality and whether they are 'true lesbians' or 'not lesbian enough.' This is often justified, attacking lesbian fujoshi with the excuse that they are ''centering their sexuality or interests around men'' (wtf?)

Since i’m always rambling about this stuff on both my Tumblr and private account. It’s honestly a mess, and I’ve been contemplating whether or not to write this because, frankly, I don’t want to invite more discourse. But after giving it some thought, I decided I wanted to write it, as I feel that by doing so, I can better articulate my thoughts on this subject. I’m definitely not the only one who feels this way. Without further ado, let’s dive into the topic.
If you’re active on Twitter, you’re probably familiar with the discourse surrounding anti-fujoshi sentiment and fangirls who love male characters/husbandos (I’ll refer to them as Yumejoshi for convenience). This discourse often emphasizes that both Fujos and Yumes exhibit internalized misogyny because they ‘favor’ or center their interests around fictional male characters.
