Let me answer the questions in OP, because everyone here really really wants to know my thoughts on yaoi.
>Do fujoshi self-insert in the uke and/or seme? Or do fujoshi simply look at slash couples in a voyeuristic manner?
100% vouyeristic. It's not even just the sex, but the romanticism is also vouyeristic. It's about the escapism for me.
>What is your view on the early 2000s phenomenon of identifying as a fujoshi "but not supporting real life homos"?
I've been a fujo since the late 90s and I have to say I've never even seen this. Maybe it's bc I'm not american and only learned english much later, but the fandoms I participated in, in my language, were very pro LGBT irl.
>Is being a fujoshi a way of escaping misogyny, or does it reinforce it?
Possibly. I'm a heterosexual man hater, so the aspect of by-women-for-women helps me read about men in romantic and sexual situations knowing that not only are they not real moids, but also they're female fantasies. That makes them non-threatening and it means that they belong to women.
>What is your opinion on omegaverse, and the het omegaverse which followed?
Dislike. I'm into fujoshit for the romance as well as the sex, and omegaverse "romance" really isn't at all. They're not falling in love with each other, they're being commanded by hormones, so there's no need for them to even get to know each other. My dick got hard because of your smell, so we're in love now I guess. Same for het omegaverse. Also the concept of mpreg is nasty to me.
>Are fujos addicted to pornography? Are yumes?
I particularly don't watch porn or read hentai, and I consume very little pornographic yaoi and fanfic. This assumption is misogynistic. You're baasically saying that any degree of sexuality in a woman is an addiction, taking away our right to have a libido.
>Why is fujo stuff so popular in Japan, a highly conservative, homophobic and misogynistic society?
Girl idk.
>Can yumes and fujos be friends?
Why not? Why do we have to fight? Fujos who hate yumes and yumes who hate fujos, please explain it to me.

>Why do fujos look at, draw and talk about yaoi together, while moids who enjoy hentai do so completely alone in their gooncaves?Do they? I don't have many male friends and I don't talk about porn with the ones I do have. I imagine they talk about and share porn and hentai. Just seems like the male thing to do.
>Are women who enjoy "male character with chopped tits and/or a vag" actually fujoshi? If not, what are they? They're absolutely not fujoshi. They're women whose brains have been rotted by genderism. I'll go as far as to say that it's all a performance for them. They don't have an inner world anymore, they're completely consumed by the persona they want to project, so much so that they can't differentiate the creature they created in order to be accepted by other gendies on socmed from their real selves. Gendies do not exist unless they're perceived. So, girls who write and who jerk off to FTM porn are simply doing so bc it's the "right side of history" thing to do. It's sad, they have lost the capacity to feel and think for themselves.
>Why do you think so meny supposed straight content made for women caters to men?Because women are not supposed to sexualize men. We are allowed to sexualize each other and ourselves. That's why porn for women still focuses on the woman being penetrated, the noises she makes, her expressions, etc., and why women who consume content that sexualizes men, are considered degenerates. We are encouraged to sexualize and objectify ourselves and our peers. The act of being objectified and sexualized is seen as being part of womanhood, because that's what our existance is to society: sex.
>Do you think there is a problem when it comes to female sexualization when it comes to josei smut?I don't think female sexualization is inherently bad, so no, I don't think there's an inherent problem there. Instances of sexualization can be
problematic, though.
No. 1978670
>Are lesbian fujoshi actually a thing?
Not likely. They're just straight women who say 2D is better than 3DPD like hentai obsessed moids do
>Why do fujos look at, draw and talk about yaoi together, while moids who enjoy hentai do so completely alone in their gooncaves?
Women in fandoms are more social than men for some reason.
>Are women who enjoy "male character with chopped tits and/or a vag" actually fujoshi? If not, what are they?
No, and they're dangerously close to falling for the fujo to tif pipeline. Enjoying a vagina on a man is the same thinking as trans people no matter how you spin it
>Why do you think so many supposed straight content made for women caters to men?
It doesn't, it's just a fault of society and how women see themselves in it. Women like to draw the female protagonist as attractive, or they may seem weak and meager because they want to see a shy and timid girl get the boy in life for once. It's projection, wishing they were a stacy, which I understand, but an attractive female protagonist does not mean that it caters to men.
>Do you think there is a problem when it comes to female sexualization when it comes to josei smut?
Somewhat, but I don't care. I like that the men are hot and cater to women. I just wish there wasn't so much sexual assault or rape. I think that's a problem in a lot of yaoi as well though. I don't know why women have this kink so much

>Are lesbian fujoshi actually a thing?
eh the more i think of it I doubt it. you dont see fully gay men into yuri in the same fashion so called lesbians enjoy yaoi. I've seen gay men that maybe enjoyed the relationship between two girls but it was mainly in a platonic fashion and it didnt go any further than that. "lesbians" that are into yaoi for some reason think of male characters in a sexual manner more often than actual het/bi fujos would kek
>Why do fujos look at, draw and talk about yaoi together, while moids who enjoy hentai do so completely alone in their gooncaves?
idk what corners of the internet youre on but every anime/hobby im interested in have moids that are extremely loud about the porn of the characters they consume etc. Its pretty much an expectation. if anything fujos seem to be the ones in there own corners
>Are women who enjoy "male character with chopped tits and/or a vag" actually fujoshi? If not, what are they?
yeah as much as men that enjoy yuri pairings with futa in it are still yurifags at the end of the day. its just a fetish added onto another fetish, just for some reason fujos will cope by saying its representation instead of just being real and saying they like drawing men with vaginas and chest scars because they find it hot.
>Why do you think so meny supposed straight content made for women caters to men?
because men are the ones obsessing over and buying the products. most women are busy living their lives and otaku women that have the money to splurge on their hobbies are rare to come by

No. 1978747
>Why do you think so many supposed straight content made for women caters to men?
I don't think it actually does.
Now, hear me out, and I can't speak for everything so take this with a grain of salt. I think that, while historically men did have control over what 'content for women' was, over time that has become less so, especially when it comes to self-published content online. Their influence has effected what appears in said content, but it doesn't actually cater to them. There's a whole lot of 'bad code' in the dna of the romance genre, for example, that causes a bunch of seemingly outdated ideas to continuously reappear, and if you shift over to the smut side these tropes only become more obvious and exaggerated as they've also solidified into common enough kinks/fetishes as each generation of writers and readers passes them on to the next and alters them in a game of literary telephone.
This happens even faster with online media, as it has little to no publication requirements. You also see similar things within yaoi/slash as those communities go through trends or bottleneck into niche communities. It's also been discussed previously that, due to it being more prolific/seen as the default, the visual language, tropes and quirks of porn for men end up showing in media meant for women, which can make it confusing at a glance who the work is really for. Hopefully over time this will fall out of vogue as female-oriented smut gains a firmer grasp on its own visual language and shorthands. Sperg over kek

No. 1978885
>Is the fujoshi-to-TIF pipeline real, or merely a symptom of something else?
I don't think being a fujo necessarily causes one to troon out, but it's how gender ideology pairs so well with romanticizing being a man and having a same-sex relationship where the dynamics are (supposedly) more equal. Back then, most fujos were aware they were just women who enjoyed seeing BL and had no problem admitting that, but as gender ideology seeped into fandom spaces and proposed the idea that you can, in fact, be a gay man even if you weren't born as one, a lot of them started calling themselves men. Social contagion played a role in exacerbating this.
>Do fujoshi self-insert in the uke and/or seme? Or do fujoshi simply look at slash couples in a voyeuristic manner?
I don't think fujoshi self-insert, but they definitely lean toward empathizing with one of the characters better. I think it's more obvious if you read any smut fic and notice the way the POV is written. It's usually written from the bottom's POV, and if it's written from the top's POV, it feels strangely focused on the bottom's pleasure and reactions rather than the top's. Of course this is all anecdotal and depends on your fandom/ship.
>What is your view on the early 2000s phenomenon of identifying as a fujoshi "but not supporting real life homos"?
Back then I didn't understand how you can enjoy BL but not support gay men irl, but I can see why now. 2D men are drawn in a style that is aesthetically pleasing, plus they don't have many of the negative traits that real life men have. I think the same argument can apply to yumes liking fictional husbandos, but not wanting to date men irl.
>Is being a fujoshi a way of escaping misogyny, or does it reinforce it?
Most fujoshi just enjoy BL because they like seeing attractive men, and like to see romance on top of that. I never saw the misogyny argument being brought up until fujos were called "gay men fetishizers". I do think some fujos are more critical toward female characters than male characters though. There are times when the male characters genuinely are written better and have more screentime; you'll mostly see this in shounen (because they're male characters written by men), but there are also times when a female character and male character are equally poorly written, but the female character gets shit on way more by fandom. And by shit on, I don't mean that fujos just ignore her, but will go out of their way to write rants on why she's terribly written and such a bad love interest for their favorite male character compared to the male best friend who they ship him with.
>What is your opinion on omegaverse, and the het omegaverse which followed?
It started out as some weird trope where you apply animal dynamics to smut, and has become synonymous with TIF/intersex/PIV sex because of the mpreg aspect. I rarely see this trope written well. The characters are turned OOC to force them to fit into the mold of a dom alpha x sub omega. It feels like I'm reading heterosexual dynamics/BDSM in disguise whenever I give an omegaverse fic a try. Not to mention how the omegas are often feminized and called "wife" or "princess"… I can definitely see why people think this trope is steeped in misogyny.
>Are fujos addicted to pornography? Are yumes?
No, it comes down to the individual. There are fujos who just want to see their favorite boys in fluffy scenarios, and there are fujos who can only talk about gay sex and have to make everything sexual. Likewise, there are yumes who just want to see and make cute content of their husbando, and there are yumes who have to hornypost 24/7 about their husbando's dick.
>Can yumes and fujos be friends?
Yes. Maybe you won't actively engage in each other's content, but you can still support each other.
>Are lesbian fujoshi actually a thing?
I'll be honest, I have yet to encounter a lesbian fujoshi OR yumejo in my fandom spaces that didn't come across as bi or straight. Many of the lesbian fujoshi I see will actively consume and create M/M smut and talk about dicks, and yes they have admitted to masturbating to it and not just reading/writing for the feels. They rarely talk about female characters/yuri, and if they do, it feels very performative. They think genderbending their favorite yaoi ship in fanart counts as enjoying yuri, but you will never see them talking about canonical female characters or F/F smut. The lesbian yumejo I know is even more blatant in her obvious attraction to men because all she does is write straight sex of herself with her husbando and talks about his dick. I have met one lesbian who does read BL occasionally, but it's only for fun and she doesn't get off to it. She actually reads yuri way more. I don't doubt that lesbians can enjoy BL, I just don't think they're the same as the "lesbian" fujos who are constantly talking about their favorite male characters.
>Are women who enjoy "male character with chopped tits and/or a vag" actually fujoshi? If not, what are they?
They are fujoshi who have memed themselves into liking cuntboy fetish/enjoy heterosexual dynamics but feel safer projecting it onto two male characters. There are lots of old-school fujos who have trooned out with the rise of gender ideology, but that doesn't discredit the fact that they were (and still are) fujos. And there have always been fujos who like heterosexual dynamics in M/M ships, and now you see it coming to an extreme with TIFs. You can say that the small, submissive uke x big, aggressive seme trope is no longer popular, but the characterizations are still there. The bottom is more likely to be cared for, protected, and comforted by the top. Most fujos TIFs are straight so they project their heterosexuality onto gay characters.

>Is the fujoshi-to-TIF pipeline real, or merely a symptom of something else?
Misogyny and autism plays a way bigger role
>Do fujoshi self-insert in the uke and/or seme? Or do fujoshi simply look at slash couples in a voyeuristic manner?
Fujos tend to get attached to ukes more than to semes, sometimes their behaviour reminds me of shoujofags who worship the heroine more. But I don't think it's self-insertion, rather they either see them as a husbando OR they see them as a comfort character or their son. There are some fujo ships where people could argue that self-insertion does actually happen though, like 14 yrs ago sebaciel fujos were definetly self-inserting as ciel. The hotter the seme is, the more you can expect this to happen. But I think usually it's a form of voyeurism or wanting to see their husbando getting pounded cause as I said, ukes are more appealing to fujos. Semes are probably more appealing to yumejoshi
>What is your view on the early 2000s phenomenon of identifying as a fujoshi "but not supporting real life homos"?

>Is being a fujoshi a way of escaping misogyny, or does it reinforce it?
Escaping misogyny to some extent, but at the end of the day it's just a hobby like many other
>What is your opinion on omegaverse, and the het omegaverse which followed?
Gross and retarded and lowkey misogynistic, and I've always hated mpreg and butt babies
>Are fujos addicted to pornography? Are yumes?
Maybe some are, but I'm not
>Why is fujo stuff so popular in Japan, a highly conservative, homophobic and misogynistic society?
BL tends to thrive in conservative societies, like it's banned in china and this is not stopping any chinese fujos
>Can yumes and fujos be friends?
It's super easy if the fujo ships A x B and the yume husbando is an unrelated character like C but if the yume husbando A or B they need to learn to tolerate each other and that might be a bit difficult if the yume is totally against any gay ship
>Are lesbian fujoshi actually a thing?
Yes
>Why do fujos look at, draw and talk about yaoi together, while moids who enjoy hentai do so completely alone in their gooncaves?
Simple, women prefer communities and fandoms and some of them seek validation from their female peers
>Are women who enjoy "male character with chopped tits and/or a vag" actually fujoshi? If not, what are they?
Ugh I hate this but technically if they still enjoy the ship in their original form and are not strictly into chopped tits, they are fujoshi. A weird brand of TiF-leaning fujoshi. If they're strictly into chopped tits they're just yume aidens

>Do you think there is a problem when it comes to female sexualization when it comes to josei smut?Yes. Too much fucking focus on the woman. The peak hetero sexy art is when those women who ship Bulma and Vegeta draw them getting nasty because there's an actual heterosexual fun dynamic on display where there is focus on both characters but mostly on the man, because, you know, it's made by a heterosexual woman. I kind of envy fangirls of this ship because they get the real good content. Hetero drawn this way is as good as yaoi drawn with intense autistic love for a ship.

>Are lesbian fujoshi actually a thing?
I know several. They exist, they undoubtedly exist. It didn't make sense at first but after lurking a few fujo threads and sites on the topic, it really started to click and made me feel better for liking yuri despite being a straight woman. Lesbians are so use to seeing other perspectives due to a lack of their own that yaoi just came naturally to them.
>Why do fujos look at, draw and talk about yaoi together, while moids who enjoy hentai do so completely alone in their gooncaves?
Fujos are women and therefore more inclined to social activities and sharing than men. Men are so afraid of gayness that any interactions with other men beyond apefights and bitch slaps is considered gay pussy shit. I'm dead serious about that one. Knew a few guys who unironically didn't care if most of his friend group dies, cuz fuck them am I right? meanwhile women would fight and tooth and nail if it meant helping each other when times were rough.
>Are women who enjoy "male character with chopped tits and/or a vag" actually fujoshi? If not, what are they?
They're fujos with extra steps in my opinion. What it boils down to is the uke is often seen as woman so naturally the tif takes the uke and does so but keeps the seme intact for whatever reason. It's why you rarely see a cis uke and trans seme because the tif is projecting projecting herself to the uke, thus making them more like them.
>Why do you think so many supposed straight content made for women caters to men?
As long as men have a say in works besides more niche mediums, straight romance will always be marred by pozzed character development, sexist tropes, and ass backwards premises that wouldn't be out of place in a braindead fanfiction. You could have swore a 13 year old boy wrote some of them until you realized the huge pickme problem in booktok lately.
>Do you think there is a problem when it comes to female sexualization when it comes to josei smut?
I read het romance to see two hotties doing the deed but I am partial to the fmc being the homely one while the mmc is considered the hot one. One too many times have media sold the hot wife ugly husband trope that started becuase insecure moids hated the thought of women settling for actual chads and not fail males.

>Is the fujoshi-to-TIF pipeline real, or merely a symptom of something else
All he/hims I ever have encountered was into some form of gay shipping - anime or not, that’s just what I know firsthand.
>Are fujos addicted to pornography? Are yumes?
Once again, I am talking about people I knew/knew of. I have plenty weeb and nonweeb slashers who are into gay male relationships, inevitably into porn of that kind also. And for them it’s always about gays, anything at all: being this ancient philosophy or kiddie morning show. Everybody gay, if they do show some signs of not being gay, specifically - oh that’s because they are internally confused or something. Every interaction of people/characters are about sex, there is no other possibilities. I don’t know, I’d say if your mind occupied by porn categories, then yes, you are addicted to porn, because you experience the world through porn lens. To complain how fragile and triggered moids are for not getting jokes about how they all fucking in a gym, while, would imagine, wouldn’t be so amused by a moid’s joke about “yall fucking at sleepovers” or whatever - I don’t know even. You could say “but it’s different because misogyny”, but the fuck it’s not - the same pornbrain mentality, imo.
Yume pornbrain - from what I saw in the wilderness - is similar, especially when there are certain unusual preferences - it’s shoving sex stuff into everyday life, projecting, sexualizing, sharing their distorted reality.
Both cases are all about obsession of something romantic and thus something sexual - do they look for romance in porn? Or do they “shield” by romance to obsess over porn? I am not an expert on male gay romance manga or media overall - is nonporn bl more popular than pvp? Like, you know, shoujo romance is more popular than tl. Is this about looking for a woman-written love story without any possible distractions for one’s vulnerability? And most of what they get is porn, because editors think “sex sells”? Idk because there is a giant mass of nonprofit gay pornfics.
>Are lesbian fujoshi actually a thing?
Aprox 80% slasher/fujo girls I know are some kind of “lesbian”. I use ironic quotation exactly because it’s dubious and just stupid. Okay, woman-written romance, okay no misogyny. But like. Being a lesbian and being obsessed over some korean moid or a harem of several male characters. What. Roleplaying male gay sex with gf, sex in cosplay of said male characters. Multiple merchandise, memorabilia of some moid/s. Point of having a naked sexualized fanart of a geriatric man on your phone wallpaper while being a lesbian? Userpics of k webnovel muscleman? Writing literal love poems on socials to a male character? I just don’t get it. I am straight and do have a waifu (I know, cringe), but I don’t what her to be engaged in any sexual activity, maybe slightly erotic. So it’s a mystery, mindset like that.
>Why do you think so meny supposed straight content made for women caters to men?
Because they made hentai for men and tl also for men and women, trying to cater to everyone - hrr drr there is a female in the straight story after all, so there is a female body we can use, so why don’t we do it. This is ultra dumb. Seeing japanese smut for women (presumably) and seeing that the focus is always fucking always on female body, often her chest, take a look, nearly every manga cover depict a guy undressing a female mc. And in sex scenes they always undress female characters ignoring male ones. So when big companies artists are doing this (because of editors and creative effective whatever managers), of course indie artists would do the same for money.

So it's a bit disingenuous to say that westerners make more porn BL than the Japanese, from first-hand experience that's not the case at all. I'd say both sides have an even share of non-porn to porn BL with porn BL overwhelmingly dominating.

I know it doesn't happen as much with lcf fujos and older fujos for that matter but the "female in the way of the gay ship" thing is tiring. I see it a lot with gendies and gay "men" TIFs more though, and they have a variety of excuses too that don't always hold up too.

If anything to make the problem of badly written female characters a little better, maybe then m/f will start to become more interesting to others and me as well.

>>1990189TBH, nowdays female characters in the way of a yaoi OTPs aren't hated as much anymore. I think the early 2010s made the fandom at large realize that the hatred some of the targeted female characters got was excessive and borderline misogynist (unsurprisingly, I've seen many of those haters have now turned to genderism and they're TIFs, enbies, etc).
However, they found new lame excuses to pull said female characters away from their targeted male characters. Bullshit like saying she's the "mom friend" of the group, turning any female character in the way of their OTP into lesbians in the most insencere and uncaring way (a beloved thing by the Ace Attorney fandom), et cetera. Honestly this feels more annoying to me than the sincere hatred of old internet fandoms, because there's nothing I like less than people pretending they're into female characters they otherwise wouldn't even write about.
The best way to ignore a character in your fanworks is to just ignore them, I have no idea why these performative online theathrics are so necessary to some fujos.

>>1992091>>1992091>blandNo. Let’s take this from the top.
Katara is introduced as a lively character with her own dreams of understanding her own waterbending, despite her life of regularly providing for her village ever since the Fire Nation’s war on the rest of the war took her parents away and literally forced her to grow up fast. The very beginning of the series opens up with Katara calling out Sokka’s shitty sexist attitude and ungratefulness of everything Katara does to provide for him, the village’s children, and to work with the women that were left behind at home. Katara even mentions that between them, it was her that took on most of the work to keep the village alive. Katara is generally selfless, but does NOT like to take shit from other people. Katara will endure responsibilities and the toll that life puts on her, but when external forces pile on and reach above her limit, Katara gets strikingly upset and even Sokka can think it’s scary. Katara is so passionate about waterbending, especially as the last known member of the Southern Water Tribe, that she basically tells Sokka to shut the fuck up when he tries telling her to give up teaching herself. She is passionate about her bending abilities, and just wants Sokka to be more respectful and encouraging of her potential and effort to connect with her own powers. Katara’s waterbending is shown to be connected to her emotions, and the raw power of her waterbending (although untrained) is so strong that she accidentally broke down a glacier, revealing Aang trapped in an iceberg. Katara doesn’t know Aang at this point, but is so kind-hearted with a core instinct to aid others that are in need, that she breaks open the iceberg and frees the last airbender from his frozen avatar state; reviving the avatar back into the world and
kickstarting the show as we know it. Before I go on, I want to remind you and anyone else reading this that Katara is only
fourteen now.
I would also like to mention that Katara is so passionate about waterbending, that upon setting foot in the North Pole, she challenged Pakku about his sexist beliefs and FOUGHT him to put HIM in his place. Of course, she loses, but her relation to Pakku’s love (Gran Gran) allowed her foot in the door to study under his guidance. Katara, Sokka, and Aang have been at the North Pole for months. All day, for months, Katara has been learning and training with the greatest waterbender in the world, again and again, to become a decent waterbender. Despite the Northern Tribe’s sexist attitudes, Katara has worked her ass off trying to understand waterbending, putting in her heart and soul to get good at it. This shows how determined Katara is when she cares about something. Katara didn’t understand much about how to properly waterbend, yet now she actually knows what she’s doing. Her power grind is no joke, as Master Pakku even says that Katara is the greatest student he’s ever had (IIRC). IIRC again, Iroh at some point in an avatar related-media, gives his opinion on Katara and even says it himself that she’s the greatest waterbender in the world at her peak. People calling Katara a mary-sue don’t know what a mary-sue is. If Katara was a mary-sue, she would have beaten Master Pakku with out-of-nowhere “girl power” or some shit. If Katara was a mary-sue, Ty Lee wouldn’t have gotten the drop on her as much as she did. People say that Katara is a mary-sue because she beat Azula at the last Agni Kai, but Azula was having a literal mental breakdown. Had it not been for Azula playing dirty, Zuko would have won that fight by himself, and even then he says he was able to fight Azula better because she was
losing it.

>>1993188Part 2.
As if it hasn’t just been talked about already, now we’ll go into depth at what everyone loves to bitch about when it comes to Katara’s character. What makes her bullied for being the “mom”; Empathy.
After Katara’s own mother was killed at the hands of Fire Nation forces, Katara has been forced to grow up, think, and act like an adult starting at a very young age. This meant watching over and providing for what was left of her village, populated by just women, children, and elders. This was pushed even further by the fact that her father (and the rest of the men) left the Tribe to go and fight as an alliance of rebels against the Fire Nation. As her early and serious new purpose was forced upon her by the war, this meant becoming extremely close and familiar with the other Water Tribe residents, making her neighbors more like family at that point. When cooperating with family, it is natural and vital that one learns to think and care about others. Especially when your family is war-torn, and easy to dismantle should not enough needs be met. Combined with doing this for almost several years, Katara's sense of open-heart becomes cemented into her psychology. Watching over others, patting their backs, being a shoulder to cry on, stitching up their clothing, treating their injuries, and making sure everyone is fed and alive is an instinct for Katara at this point in her life. As Katara is hyper-aware of other people’s feelings, she’s hesitant to give Aang the tragic news of his race being genocided off the map. Then when Aang discovers that the rest of his kind really is gone due to the Fire Nation, Katara is the main character that reaches out to Aang to soothe and reassure him, despite the horrible news. Katara calms Aang down from his angry avatar state, and succeeds at guiding him back to focus. Empathetic, Katara explicitly tells Aang that she understands his pain, as she and Sokka have also lost many tribe members and even some family members to the Fire Nation as well. During their journey with Katara teaching Aang some waterbending she taught herself, she quickly learns from Aang that he responds better with positive reinforcement. When Aang feels like he’s a failure to his job as the avatar, it’s normally Katara that’s the one picking him back up and telling him that he IS worth a shit. Through emotional AND physical aid, Katara was the one keeping Aang going. When someone is feeling down and borderline suicidal, Katara is the one chasing their self-doubt away. She did this with Haru, she did this with imprisoned earthbenders, and she even did this with Zuko when he doubted Iroh forgiving him. Katara’s heart is enormous, and this is shown through her actions of
constantly trying to save and keep other people alive. The Desert Episode. After Appa got kidnapped, Aang became the opposite of what he normally was: cold, depressed, and irrationally pissed off. For the majority of time after Appa got kidnapped, Aang fucks off from the group to go find him, which left Katara alone with the rest of the team. Sokka was desperate for water, and drank cactus juice with Momo, leaving them both high and out of their minds as hell. Not very helpful in a desert. Then there was Toph, whose seismic sense was rendered useless because of the grainy texture of the sand. This made Toph completely blinded this time. Also not so good. So how does Katara react to this scenario? She creates a hand-holding line so that everyone is holding each other to prevent anyone getting strayed and lost. When someone is thirsty, she uses the water from her pouch to hydrate them and prevent dangerous levels of thirst, even with the pressure of being a waterbender in the middle of the desert and with limited water source. We never see Katara drink the water herself. She is using her only means of water on her brother and “new family”. She keeps reminding everyone that they must focus on getting to Ba Sing Se. Katara understands that this is a dire situation, and even though she is more than likely uncomfortable as all hell in this episode, she puts her fear and frustrations aside to focus on keeping everyone together and breathing.

>>1993193Next, let’s address the misconception that Katara is just a nagging bully to Toph, because yes—there are ATLA fans that actually think that.
Starting out with Toph’s origins: Toph comes from a wealthy family that gives her everything she wants, shelters, and pampers her incessantly because she’s blind and a child. But because they’re overprotective of Toph, she realizes how much her parents have been holding her back from exploring the world, exploring earthbending, and exploring who she really is as a person. This makes her more attracted to individuality, the mindset of putting yourself and your own independence first. As Toph embraces individuality, she becomes very comfortable with being herself, a brutally honest tomboy who isn’t afraid to get loud or to start a fight.
On the contrary, there’s Katara. Katara used to live a more normal life with her mother and father in the picture. But just like the Fire Nation taking away all the other waterbenders from her tribe, they took the lives of her tribe’s residents, including her mother—which in turn, forced her father to leave the picture of the tribe as well. Katara’s family was damaged and fractured out of her control, forcing her to “man-up” and work for the closest she can get to a happy family since. Katara being forced to work for what others need and at such a young age is a foil to Toph’s origin, because Katara couldn’t afford to grow tired of her family and get selfish. Whereas Toph was molded to idealize strict individuality to care for herself, Katara was raised to embrace a compassionate sense of collectivism to care for others. This is why they butt heads so much. Katara got upset with Toph not helping out with the team, once Toph joined them. Toph responds that she shouldn’t have to directly help the team if she’s pulling her own weight (which in her mind means that she owes them nothing). Katara tries to take a casual approach with getting Toph to participate by helping the team set up camp, since Sokka and Aang were acting dumb as hell. Katara even apologizes for any bad impressions. Yet, despite Katara’s politeness, Toph keeps interrupting Katara, and disrespectfully spits her apology back at her. Of course, Katara is back to being irritated. Shit happens, and the team is extra tired from barely getting any sleep. Shit goes down, and Toph leaves after Katara and Aang had enough of Toph’s shit. Yeah, they make up at the end of the episode, but look at the subtext of Katara’s conflict with Toph. It’s obvious that Toph had a problem with Katara’s effort to look out for and get everyone active on the team because it reminded Toph of her own parents constantly breathing down her neck and getting all up in her ear with commands. However, Iroh was able to teach Toph that allowing others to help you is not inherently a sign of weakness. Though, that’s not the end of the conflict between Katara and Toph. In the third season, Katara and Toph get into it when Toph says that Katara doesn’t know how to let loose and have fun, in response to Katara using her past experience of stealing from pirates and suggesting that the team cool down with scamming to avoid attracting suspicion and bad attention. Toph calls Katara “sourpuss”, but Katara sees right through Toph and addresses Toph with tact and accurate analysis: that Toph is guilty about running away from her parents in pursuit of independence, so to shoo away the guilt, Toph goes around and dives head first into doing whatever she wants and trying to convince herself that she hates them. Katara is normally soft-spoken and empathetic with others when addressing them or their behavior, but because just being soft-spoken doesn’t work on Toph, Katara noticed that and gave Toph her own energy back; by being brutally honest. This pissed off Toph a little. Katara senses that something is fishy about Toph and Sokka’s behavior, and digs through some of Toph’s things. Katara learns that her intuition was right through the wanted poster of Toph, but this instinct to always watch over other people and make sure they’re okay has crossed some of Toph’s boundaries. This reminds Toph of her own parents, to which Toph calls Katara out on it. This officially establishes Katara’s core flaw: when she lets her attention and drive to keep everyone safe cross boundaries and become overwhelming.
Now, it is up to Sokka to fix things between Katara and Toph. However, when Sokka confronts Toph about her falling out with Katara, Sokka reveals some details about Katara that establishes how objectively important she is to Sokka’s literal will to keep trying at life. That although Katara can be overwhelming at times where stress is high, Katara is still a pivotal aspect of his life since his mother died. Since the death of their mother, it was actually Katara that stepped up to be his shoulder to cry on, and his personal cheerleader to keep getting up and living life despite the massive loss. Since their mother was gone, it was Katara that was taking care of him IN PLACE of their mother. Katara was so important to Sokka’s survival growing up, that when he tries to remember the face of his mother, he just sees Katara’s. Toph, listening and realizing just how important Katara really is to the team, lets it all out that Katara isn’t necessarily a bad or a shitty person. That despite Katara having her obnoxious moments, her empathetic nature is soothing for Toph. That the love Katara has for the team and even Toph herself is on a level Toph never really felt before. The difference between Katara’s compassion and Toph’s parents’ compassion is that Katara is objectively less hands-off when she’s confronting her teammates about their behavior. Although Katara pulled out the wanted poster and kept telling Toph that (about the scams) enough is enough, Katara doesn’t try to actually FORCE Toph to do what she suggests. Katara does this because she personally knows how bad stealing/scamming can get, and wants Toph to grow as a person by not being reckless all of the time. Toph’s parents hired people to kidnap Toph back to her home, and were overprotective specifically because they wanted Toph to stay the helpless little blind girl they wanted her to be. This is where Toph realizes that she fucked up by internally overreacting and jumping to the fear that Katara was just like her parents.
Then Katara and Toph get locked up when their scam backfires thanks to Combustion Man doing what Katara initially predicted, by catching onto them. They sit in the jail cell, as they converse about their differences. Katara admits that she just wanted to prove that she can be fun too, and not just “motherly” all the time. This shows that even when Katara wasn’t getting along with Toph, Katara was still listening to Toph when she handed out criticism of how she was being. Katara wants to be liked and to fit in with her teammates, something more than just her instincts telling her to keep track of her team, wash clothes, and stew dinner. Toph reassures Katara that she IS fun, at least to argue with. Katara apologizes for being brutally honest with Toph about her parents, to which Toph confesses that Katara had a point, actually. Toph DOES love her parents, and was worried that she hurt them by running away for independence. Toph begins to cry, trusting Katara enough to open her weakness, to which Katara embraces Toph to comfort her. Later, after escaping Combustion Man, Toph trusts Katara enough to ask her for help, to which Katara naturally agrees. Katara helps Toph write a heartfelt letter to her parents, and sends Sokka’s messenger bird to deliver it. With the help of Katara, Toph learned to be more open about her own true feelings and thoughts, to be less reckless, and to think more about others while also acknowledging the importance of self. Katara helped bring Toph to a balance. Katara learns from Toph that being a child isn’t inherently the behavior or mindset of being child
ish. Being a child is a state of being and regardless of how mature Katara is, she is still a child just like Toph at the end of the day. Not an adult. Toph taught Katara that although it’s not good to be reckless all the time, fun is still important in order to rest her nerves and enjoy the day when she can. So Toph also brought balance to Katara.

>>1993197Then let’s go into Katara’s morality
The thing about Katara isn’t just that she’s empathetic and usually very considerate of how other people are feeling and doing, Katara also has a mature, level-headed outlook on how she views different aspects of the war. Specifically, I’m talking about what separates her from characters like Jet. Katara has trauma, however she is mature enough to handle her trauma better than Jet. Katara doesn’t let her trauma take over who she is, including her sense of what’s right and wrong. Katara doesn’t let the Fire Nation’s destruction of her Tribe and family stop her from acknowledging when somebody is in dire need of help, like when Katara quickly offered to heal Iroh after Azula blasted him and despite the fact that she
knows Iroh is from the Fire Nation. The Fire Nation has a monstrous force that’s oppressing the world, but Katara will call a spade a spade when she encounters a harmless or even helpful Fire Nation civilian. After meeting Jet, Katara is forced to learn the basic, yet useful lesson that you can’t trust or assume that somebody is a good person just because they have a sorry backstory and a nice face. Katara approached Jet with open arms and compassion for him, yet he lied to and betrayed her so he could kill innocent civilians just because Fire Nation soldiers were in their village. Katara is rightfully offended and deeply “cut” from Jet, taking advantage of her giving him the benefit of the doubt, as it’s pretty insulting to her nature of having a big heart. Jet’s episode is the introduction of one of the things that hurts Katara the most; betrayal. When Katara meets Zuko in the catacombs of Ba Sing Se, the scene exposes that even though she and Zuko were on opposite sides of the war, Katara can pick up on when another person is sincerely open about their internal conflicts (Zuko losing his mother), and still empathize with them. From learning that she has some aspects of her life in common with Zuko, Katara begins to see Zuko in a different light. Katara begins to learn that Zuko isn’t just an angry soldier boy who wants to serve Aang’s head on a platter just because his father said so. Katara realizes that Zuko is still human like everyone else, with hurt like her and anyone else. Immediately, she realizes that Zuko’s nation is not healthy for him, and offers him the advice of what her element of water symbolizes: change. Katara offers Zuko to change his lifestyle of wanting to appease his
abusive father and dysfunctional society for the greater good for himself, and the rest of the world. Katara is one of the only three people that directly reached out to Zuko to basically tell him that he’s better than being a soldier for the Fire Nation’s war-mongering and supremacist ideologies. The other two being Iroh and Aang. Like with Toph, it’s not just that Katara empathizes with other people; Katara wants troubled people to grow and become better. When Zuko explains that he viewed his scar as the mark of what the Fire Nation pushed him to do, Katara offers to heal his scar, literally wanting to get rid of Zuko’s loyalty to such an unhealthy set of beliefs and lifestyle. But before Katara could use her spirit water, she and Zuko are interrupted and separated. Then the betrayal happens. After finding common ground, learning that Zuko is more like herself than she initially believed, developing a slightly bleeding heart for him, understanding and telling Zuko that he doesn’t have to remain loyal to such a nation that mistreats him and his mother, and even almost healing his scar with the spirit water, Zuko still chooses to side with Azula, and what happens when he sides back with the Fire Nation? Katara and Aang get jumped by Zuko, Azula, and the Dai Li, Aang temporarily DIES because of Azula’s lightning, and Iroh himself gets locked up. Imagine how motherfucking shaken Katara must have felt at her core, when Zuko basically said “fuck you” at this event. After this point, shit starts to get real for Katara’s emotional journey, because this is the second time she got betrayed and this betrayal resulted in serious consequences. The Katara we’ve seen in season one is changing into a more serious person, as it becomes clearer than ever that this world can and will stomp all over her bleeding heart. Still empathetic and morally adjusted, but exterior changing into a more “solid” one. However, it’s not just because of Zuko. There’s Hama’s impact.
Katara meeting and learning from the first last bender of the Southern Water Tribe; Hama.
The team meets a kind, elderly lady that seems to be native to the Fire Nation. She takes interest in Katara, and starts to grow on her. However, Sokka picks up that Hama must be hiding something from the team, and begins to snoop through her home. Katara learned from Toph that it isn’t right to just go through other people’s shit but knowing that Sokka is usually a good judge of character (like from the Jet episode), she hesitantly follows along with Sokka finding and trying to open a hidden treasure box. Hama already knew the kids were going through her shit, and opens the box just to reveal a Southern Water Tribe comb, simultaneously revealing her true origin. As Hama is a waterbender herself, Katara is thrilled and (pun intended) over the moon that she ISN’T the last waterbender of the Southern Tribe. That she’s finally found someone just like herself in that sense, happy to know they haven’t entirely just disappeared from the world. Hama tells Katara the story of why the southern waterbenders have disappeared (they were kidnapped), in which Katara empathizes and shares to Hama that she and Sokka lost their mother because of the Fire Nation looking for more waterbenders. Katara and Hama realize just how alike they are, not just through bending and ethnicity, making Hama offer to teach Katara waterbending techniques that Master Pakku didn’t. Hama teaches Katara just how “everywhere” water actually is, and how embedded with life their element really runs. From the moisture in the air, the liquid from plants, to the sweat on your skin, Hama helps Katara realize just how resourceful waterbenders can be, and is pleased when Katara shares that she had to use her sweat to escape a jail. Like with Katara teaching Aang the waterbending she taught herself despite the Fire Nation’s oppression, Hama is literally doing the same for Katara. However, Katara views waterbending more as an art than Hama does, in which Hama views their powers as a high-tier resource for survival. Hama is much more of a pragmatist, demonstrated when she kills a bunch of fire lilies in order to draw water from them. While waterbending and its sub-element of bloodbending is absolutely a high-tier means for survival, Hama took it too far when Katara learns that Hama was also using bloodbending to terrorize Fire Nation civilians who
weren’t soldiers and
didn’t oppress her. Viewing bloodbending as a perverse form of her element, Katara is reluctant to learn the sub-element. But in a tragically fucked up sense, Hama needed more waterbenders to understand just how powerful they really are, the sub-element of bloodbending to ensure that less of them rot away in those prisons. And so, Hama forces Katara to pick up bloodbending, by creating a deadly event in which Hama bloodbends Katara, Sokka, and Aang into almost killing each other. Hama forces Katara to become resourceful, by drawing water from plant life. Hama forces Katara to embrace her final lesson, and just like how Hama learned: Bloodbending for the means of survival. Even after Hama lets herself be arrested and sent away, Hama has successfully doused Katara in her maximum potential as a bender. Even though Katara is left sobbing at the end of the episode for such a traumatic event, Katara is now a fully realized waterbender, even for the water that runs with blood. Then there’s the Day of The Black Sun, where Katara takes down a Fire Nation tower base with her brother and father, but has to stay behind from invading the palace as Hakoda becomes badly injured and she’s the only healer on the entire fleet. Sokka, Toph, and Aang are the ones that have to break into the palace and find Ozai themselves, yet they just run into Azula—who successfully buys time and manipulates them into failing their mission once the sun’s power comes back on. The team fails the mission on the Black Sun, so you can imagine how emotional everybody is feeling because of their loss.

>>1993199Then, here comes a random Zuko showing up and wanting to join their team after all that fuckshit since Ba Sing Se. Remember how personally Katara takes betrayal? Yeah. We’re about to see that again. In the catacombs, Katara was willing to hear Zuko out, bury the hatchet, heal his scar, and even welcome him on the team. But when Zuko basically said “fuck you” and joined Azula, Katara became naturally on-edge about Zuko’s character. That sweet, huggable, and polite Katara is gone when Zuko tries to join the team. Hama made Katara question her nature as a waterbender, a piece of who Katara is. Now Zuko is showing up out of nowhere, and is making Katara feel even more conflicted. Think about it. Had it not been for Aang and Iroh, Katara was going to use the spirit water on Zuko’s scar. Considering that Zuko immediately reverted back to the Fire Nation right after running into Katara, that scenario would result in Aang getting killed during his avatar state, and Katara not having the spirit water to revive him. Katara’s bleeding heart nature and giving Zuko the benefit of the doubt almost resulted in Aang staying dead, the air nomad race reaching official extinction, and the entire avatar cycle stopping for good because of Aang dying IN the state. Zuko is making Katara’s self-questioning reach for the sky. Then you take in Zuko trying to bribe Katara with her own dead mother’s necklace, having the team kidnapped on multiple occasions, following them across the world to capture Aang and basically fuck over the chances of the Fire Nation being stopped, burning Kyoshi village almost entirely to the ground, and hiring Combustion man to kill Aang (which almost got the others killed too by the way). With all the shitfest of how Zuko made their journeys harder and even more dangerous, imagine how frustrated Katara probably feels when Zuko gets to join the team mainly because Toph said “fuck it”, and because Zuko helped stop them from getting killed by Combustion Man. (It wasn’t even Zuko that stopped Combustion Man by the way, it was Sokka flinging his boomerang that actually killed him and officially ended the hunt). Everyone is having an easier time letting Zuko chill with them, but Katara is not having it because the last time SHE chilled with Zuko, it was catastrophic. Katara does not trust Zuko, and she has more than enough reasons at this point. Katara is so serious and on-guard with Zuko because of the threat she knows he can be to what’s basically her family at this point, that she turns into O-ren Ishii when she threatens to KILL HIM if he
ever tries to fuck them over again. After this, Katara is so venomous to Zuko at any chance she gets, that she fucking laughs and tells Zuko that he isn’t as good of a bender as he thought he was, when he lost his powers. That was so cold, Toph was even amused. But we need to address Katara threatening to end Zuko’s life. That moment was so different from how Katara has been up until that exact moment, that we need to ask ourselves if that’s who, or a part of who Katara is. Then comes ‘The Southern Raiders’.
To Kill or Not to Kill; Yon Rha.
Azula’s attack on the Air Temple, the team turned into a crib, forces Katara to be separated from her father (who had recently been broken out of the Boiling Rock). Right after reuniting with the only parent she has left, Katara is forced to lose him again (even if it’s only temporary) because of a Fire Nation attack. It doesn’t take rocket science to understand how overwhelmed, saddened, and horrified Katara must be feeling. Zuko does his part, and holds off Azula in order to let the team or everyone else get the hell out of there. After escaping, the team lands Appa on a safe spot to set up camp, have some tea and eat some dinner. Zuko jokes about his past of chasing Aang around the world again and everyone laughs, except for Katara who still isn’t convinced to completely trust Zuko. Zuko runs after Katara, trying to confront, open her up, and see what’s the matter with her. The part here is ironic, because it’s basically a reverse of their talk in Ba Sing Se. Now, it’s Zuko’s turn to help Katara’s emotional turmoil and to understand HER. Katara yells at Zuko, lashing out because of dire consequences of his actions in Ba Sing Se and how his actions personally hurt Katara on the inside because of how he (again) basically said “screw you and your side of the war”. Just like before the catacombs, Katara is back to viewing Zuko as the face of the enemy and demands that he make up for his past by liberating Ba Sing Se, or to even bring her mother back; projecting every single Fire Nation action directly onto Zuko, and demanding that he find a way to take absolutely everything back. Jet, Hama, Zuko. That’s three times Katara was horribly manipulated or badly misled by people she thought she could trust. Katara doesn’t have open arms anymore like in season one anymore, Katara learned to officially be on-guard and if Zuko wants in, he’ll have to really prove that Katara should give him a second chance. But Zuko doesn’t throw in the towel and give up on understanding Katara, so he goes to somebody who really knows Katara in order to obtain a greater picture of what Katara has been through, who Katara is, and what Katara needs. Somebody like her own brother, Sokka. Just like that, Zuko offers Katara that he can help her find the man who killed her mother. Now Katara is ready to go. Katara tells Aang and Sokka that she and Zuko are going to find the man that killed her mother, to which Aang and Sokka immediately try to shut that down with Aang explaining that revenge is not what HE believes is right, while Zuko is reiterating that they’re doing this for what Katara says she needs. Up until this point, Katara was usually solving her internal struggles on her own, or (pun-intended) “watering them down” so she can keep herself focused and moving. Here though, Katara is feeling very serious and begins her brutal honesty. Katara is fully aware that Aang is a head-over-heels sucker for air nomad pacifism, despite Katara having to dip her toes into things like bloodbending for the greater good of her own and her friends’ survival. Katara was forced to encounter violence, Katara was forced to grow up faster than Aang, Katara was forced to get “bloody” outside her comfort zone (Hama), Katara learned faster than Aang that the world isn’t so black/white with violence. She knew he wouldn’t understand, and
that’s exactly what she tells him. Sokka is just, and rightfully so, worried about his sister going on such a dangerous mission and becoming a murderer. Sokka is scared that Katara is going to let the death of their mother take over who she is. So he tries to help Katara see that Kya was his mother too, and that not even Sokka himself would want revenge on the man who killed her. Sokka wants Katara to let it go, and go back to being her bubbly self because he believes that’s what she needs. But Katara’s brutal honesty strikes again to tell him the subtext that Katara was simply closer to Kya, and that Sokka didn’t love her quite like she did. Hurtful as fuck, but I don’t disagree with Katara, nor do I think she’s even a “bitch” for saying that. Even when I was a kid, I always got the impression that Katara was closer to their mother, while Sokka was closer to their father. Sokka’s mind doesn’t even remember Kya’s face despite being the older sibling, but Katara loved their mother so much that she remembers the last moments she witnessed of Kya still being alive. Katara loved her mother more than anything in the world, it makes entire sense that Katara would snap into brutal honesty and say that Sokka simply wasn’t as close. On the mission with Zuko, Katara is gradually understanding that Zuko does give a shit about making things up for Katara, and does want to get close to her and be a team. It becomes gradually clear that Zuko is interested in Katara’s story, Katara’s pain, what Katara feels like she needs, and Katara’s mother. So Katara shares more sentimental details about Kya with Zuko, taking him more seriously than ever before as an ally. Katara is so passionate about this mission for closure, that she doesn’t sleep to focus on flying Appa to where they need to be. Katara turns into Beatrix Kiddo onboard a Fire Nation ship to wipe out soldiers with Zuko like they’re Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Katara is so fucking pumped and ready for closure on her mother and what the Fire Nation did to her, that she fucking bloodbends a commander that she thought was Yon Rha. She bloodbends him around like a cat toying with a mouse before killing it. Even Zuko is fucking
scared, before remembering that this is about Katara and resuming his purpose of being on this journey. But despite Yue’s spirit giving Katara the power to bloodbend fuckers left and right, Katara’s mind remains clear enough to see that the man she was tossing around wasn’t Yon Rha, and so she stops. This is Katara, and vengeful as she may feel, she is not a person that kills randos. Even at the peak of bloodlust, Katara has the self-control and morality to not kill just any person left and right. When Katara is feeling murderous, she stays locked onto the specific and truly guilty target. This is what makes her so much different than Jet, despite Aang retardedly thinking otherwise.

>>1993205So then you have Katara and Zuko ambush Yon Rha, where Katara has yet another O-ren Ishii moment, where she reminds her parent’s killer of his
victim through the familiarity of her face. Katara looks Yon Rha in the eye, as she tells him the entire picture of what that man has actually done. Katara tells him that Yon Rha came looking for the last waterbender of the Southern Tribe, and killed a woman named Kya on the assumption that she was the bender. Katara reveals that he got the wrong person, and that Kya lied to him to protect the real waterbender that was her daughter, standing right before him and with the power to stop rain. Standing right before him, and with the power to convert rainwater into icicle blades that can kill. Yet, Katara also learns something about Yon Rha’s life. That he was a sad, miserable, pathetic and weak little man who posed no threat to anyone or anything anymore. Yon Rha had no happiness left in him or his life. Nothing to be happy for, grateful to, or having anything to love. Not even his own mother. Then, there’s the last realization that even if Katara does take the retired loser’s life, there would be nothing to gain for her. Katara’s mother, Kya, would still be dead and drifting peacefully in the afterlife, or reincarnated somehow. If Katara has to take a life, it has to be absolutely necessary and worth it. Instead of an empty victory like how Yon Rha would have been. Yon Rha was beneath her, and so Katara leaves him on the ground like the little worm he was. However, when at Ember Island, Aang confronts Katara and says that he’s proud of her for not killing Yon Rha. Katara is still unsure of her decision, wondering if she spared him because she was too weak to take his life, or if she spared him because she was strong enough to walk away. Once again, Katara is trying to understand who she even is. Is she ready to trust outsiders again? Is she able to be forgiving? After that journey with Zuko, was Katara even right or wrong to give him hell at first? Is Katara really capable of taking a life? Should Yon Rha have died by order of his crimes? Katara has always been the one pushing her own struggles aside to focus on the team’s journey and what other people need, yet it’s finally Katara that gets to have her moment of genuine self-doubt. She tells Aang that she does not forgive Yon Rha for killing her mother. There is no need to, the man didn’t feel guilty and was only scared that a high-tier waterbender had him down. However, Katara does finally accept and forgive Zuko for the time, energy, patience, and listening he has done for Katara during the trip. Though Katara quickly came to understand that killing Yon Rha wasn’t what she needed, she is appreciative to Zuko for letting her figure that out for herself, and for letting her have closure about Kya’s death in the first place. Katara is able to see just how much Zuko has changed, and is finally able to forgive him, trust him, and give him the benefit of the doubt. Katara had her reasons to not accept Zuko at first, but the challenge between them has created a sense of understanding and closeness in the end. As for whether or not Yon Rha should have died, it doesn’t matter anymore because Katara knows that not much would have changed.

>>1993207By the way, I feel like Katara has canonically killed people and WOULD kill Ozai if she absolutely had to. Remember the Black Sun? Yeah, Katara sliced open Fire nation airships, which must’ve left dozens of men falling to their deaths. They were firing at Katara and trying to take her down with Appa. She had to kill the soldiers, it was either her and Appa, or them. Ozai is the actual face of everything wrong with the Fire Nation, is an irredeemable sociopath, and wouldn’t think twice before striking down and killing anyone Katara loves. If it was up to Katara, I feel like she would have killed him because Ozai’s drive in the destruction of the world is that fucking infinite. I feel like the reason she DIDN’T kill Azula though is because at that point, Azula was obviously and tragically mentally ill. Katara could see that Azula was different from Ozai, despite how dangerous she was. Azula was broken, just like Zuko when first met him. I believe Katara was quick to piece together that Ozai was more than likely abusing the fuck out of Azula too, just in different ways. Plus, even though Azula is a borderline sociopath, Katara knows just how much Zuko still loves family members like Iroh. So even though Azula tried to kill Zuko multiple times, Katara spared her at the final Agni Kai because she knows how much Azula still means to Zuko.
One thing I like about Katara is her difference between her reaction to Aang’s outburst in The Desert, versus her reaction to Aang’s outburst when the team is on Ember Island. In the desert when Aang was being a generally unhelpful little twat and accused Katara of not caring and not helping enough, Katara lets herself get yelled at and merely responds that she was doing the best she could. At Ember Island when Aang is having a meltdown about what he needs to do about Firelord Ozai’s life, he snaps at everyone that nobody is helping him enough, even though every-single-fucking-body has been trying to help him with EVERYTHING. Katara is fed up with Aang’s childish behavior at this point, and just like in the Southern Raiders episode, she doesn’t shy away from disagreeing with Aang anymore. Katara calls him out for acting like a testerical doofus, and instead of reverting to her “motherly” instinct of lecturing Aang, she quickly learns from Zuko that sometimes it’s best to let people figure themselves out. Zuko sees that Aang’s internal struggles are beyond the help everybody has been giving him, and suggests to Katara that she saves her energy. Katara accepts this, and learns to carry on with their plan for Sozin’s Comet WITHOUT having to look after Aang.
Katara continues to do what she and anyone else always does: keep moving. Katara lets go of her mother’s death because from everything she has experienced and went through, Katara is ready to help end the war if that means preventing any more heinous losses and suffering. If it means less people having to suffer like herself and Sokka. If it means less people having to suffer like Aang. If it means having less people to suffer like those formerly enslaved earthbenders. If it means less people having to suffer like Jet. If it means less people having to suffer like Zuko. Less people suffering like Iroh. Less people suffering like Suki. Less people suffering like the imprisoned waterbenders. Less people suffering like Hama. Less people suffering like Fire nation civilians who don’t like the war themselves. Less people suffering like even Azula. As this is who Katara is, she refuses to turn her back on people who need her, even if that includes the entire fucking world. Katara isn’t a perfect character, and I feel like she was rather neglected by Bryke compared to characters like Zuko and had some wasted potential for her development. The worst part of Katara’s writing is that she’s paired with Aang, and it doesn’t help that their endgame romance makes no fucking sense after they were further apart with understanding than ever. But to say that Katara is BLAND or the worst female character in the entire show is objectively wrong. I am dead serious. If a person says that Katara is the worst female character in the entire show, or that she’s bland, that person has absolutely no fucking clue of what they’re talking about. Yes, that includes you, anon. I don’t know if it stems from not really watching the show, general failure to properly analyze what’s in front of them, another day of some fujofag deliberately painting untrue conceptions about female characters to justify their yaoi, or just the run-of-the-mill internally misogynistic media head who hates any female character that doesn’t conform to whatever arbitrary standard of how girls and women should be written. But regardless of the reason, such a statement that Katara is the worst character or is bland is unwaveringly incorrect. Katara is not the worst, but the type of conclusion that completely ignores everything about Katara absolutely is the worst type of take to make about any character at all. Katara is not bland, but this recurring perception that female characters must act like annoying, tomboy assholes to be interesting is definitely an unintelligent and bland take.

People will find a way to hate on a female character even if they have to make up shit or reveal how little they can dissect media without clear bias.
>fujofag deliberately painting untrue conceptions about female characters to justify their yaoiThis part in particular is sad because you still see it everywhere. The only thing that can be made light of is the fact that the fujoshitters who do this are so obviously jealous of the female character who gets in the way, especially when those fujos are well in their 30’s by now still seething over the character and have to mischaracterize the female character as
abusive while ignoring the same if not worse in canon behaviours of the male characters. It's even more pathetic when one of the yaoi characters are so clearly infantilized, whiny self-inserts.

>>1990907>It’s common among all sorts of fans and media and in real life too. It’s not a fujo-specific thing at all.I'm not gonna lie, I have cut people off for doing this. It's one thing to hate a love rival but if I meet someone who's seething fuck that's here and there bitching about every female character imaginable with zero self awareness I stop paying attention.
>I don’t think it’s a writing issue like you said.I guess, maybe. I was just addressing the general comeback to this issue being that female characters often are written by scrotes that don't know what they're doing or people who don't know how to write women, which is something I can concede. This argument however comes across as really disingenuous when it's a well built character that can stand on her own being paraded as queen bitch. But this isn't as common as people like to claim, but I think when it does happen it's especially egregious. I personally take even less seriously when the fujo can't write female characters either, and has every excuse pulled out the ass for literally anything. I'd respect this kind of person a thousand times more if the reasoning simply was "I like male characters better" instead of 4D chess and pretending they care about male homophobia and how shipping het ships is literally fag dragging
>>1991600Yeah, I think post 2010s pretty much the only people that truly hated female characters for genuine misogynist reasons were gendies. There wasn't a single one of them who did this that couldn't not write women like children, by the way. But it's also socially acceptable to be misogynistic if they hide it under a thin veneer of her being a TIF or a barely characterized lesbian

They engage in some other type of obsession, some good or neutral (like knitting crocheting collecting plushies etc), some harmful (porn, self harm, stalking a crush etc). Some of them might indeed troon out but the ratio is much less. The emotionally fragile people without a stable identity that troon out often have a
trigger for their transing, which can be anything from peer pressure (all the girls I considered peers with similar profiles are now nb/trans so maybe I am one as well?), homophobia (convincing butch lesbian nerds that they are failed women and would be better off as men) or in case of fujotroons, a belief that she's not like the "pathetic yumes that imagines getting fucked by a 2d husbando as a woman", but a #actualmale (who also imagines getting fucked by a 2d husbando but as a MAN).
On a less snarky note:As the nona I previously quoted, BL neither fights nor promotes misogyny, but it is a response to misogyny. So many fujos are girls and women who are very aware of how misogyny affects women and just want to see m/m romance that cannot show any misogyny by design, and it's not a surprise that the TIFs running away from misogyny would be overrepresented in fujo circles.

>>1998656I mean, most hobby spaces attract weak minded, identity conflicted people. People just want a space where they're accepted and cared about, yet I think some people go too far with their hobbies. Frankly, I think this phenomenon is more apparent in western fandoms. I sometimes go over and lurk in Japanese threads and forums and most of the women into yaoi are just regular women who aren't afraid to be women. They don't need to larp or change their entire gender. I think the issue with western fandoms is that we tend to link our identity with what we read, watch, etc. Basically, if I like this thing then I must be this, when that doesn't necessarily have to be the case. Or if you don't like something are too into something, you're either a bigot or a fetish freak. I'm not sure where this mindset came from, but it's deeply ingrained in every fandom I've been in. It's also one of the reasons why the only fujos I can stand are Japanese. Not only is their art better but they have a tendency of respecting each other's tags, etc.

There's also the fact women are more likely to be faithful than men, a case of rules for thee, not for me becuase it's find if a man does it but lord forbid a woman sleeps with more than one man or has any male friends.

>>2128768>Even the usual yaoi can never escape the critique of being "heteronormative".Maybe this is because I'm more into western fandoms as opposed to anime but I have read plenty of fics which are not heteronormative in the slightest. Just two handsome men enjoying each other's bodies which is nice and sexy to read. Yes, most time there's going to be a top and a bottom but it doesn't feel like a heterosexual dynamic.
Now I'm not saying all slash needs to be written like that, I understand everyone has their preference with their sexual fantasies. But I feel like taking a male, making him physically weaker than other men, giving him a uterus and forcing him into marriage with one of the stronger men is basically writing a heterosexual dynamic, and an oppressive one at that. There is some omegaverse that doesn't follow these tropes (two alphas for example, or alphas getting fucked by omegas) but it's the minority.

Normal ukes are "pseudowomen" (!!! they were constantly called pseudowomen, since forever), but normal yaoi is less hypertrophied and bizarre.
>(two alphas for example, or alphas getting fucked by omegas) but it's the minority.Isn't it just an alpha bitching another alpha, or omega getting studded by bitching an alpha? They were always pandering switches as the right way of yaoi, i remember. Is it less heteronormative because they're more equal by changing roles? It's not heteronormative when the bottom is not societally opressed on the account of his bottomness? I don't get it.

>>2136020Every rare time I open the fandom discourse thread, it's fujos seething about muh yurifags when they're just complaining about people shitting on f/f. They manage to contort even the mildest general complaint into a call for action for all fujos to be forced to write and draw f/f ships as if any lesbian wants a straight woman to attempt fitting seme and uke dynamics into f/f ships. Or they take what a retarded tranny says as representative as if actual lesbians don't hate them more and fujos don't have their own issue with retarded tifs.
>>2136198 is right. The bisexual and "lesbian" fujos are especially like this because instead of just admitting they're more interested in men fucking, they have to cope by bullshitting all female characters / f/f are bad and by / for men so their super speshul kweer identity is heckin
valid.

>>2136968Why can't they just admit to liking men fucking and be done with it? Some himes still won't buy it, but it's better than writing a 20-page essay on why yuri is bad, actually. Going through this thread has actually corrected my own perceptions on the genre because TIMs always ruin everything and made me hate yuri when before I couldn't care less (even read a few when I was younger). People are obligated not to consume everything, but by turning into a popularity contest, more and more get burned by ever reading a genre thanks to it. Having less to read is good when the most of it is pretty high quality.

>>2137584The TIFs who took T very seriously on their troon out and literally look like men because they were ashamed to be lesbian when they were younger usually only care about F/F ships. This is because they are attracted to females and a very serious case of internalized homophobia (or more likely, from cultural factors) caused them to troon out. They take their male identity very seriously because being able to be with the same sex or allow themselves to be a lesbian can only happen to them under a veil of heterosexuality. Blanchard would call these TIFs "HSTS" (homosexual transssexuals).
The TIF fujotroons (which now make up the majority) are heterosexual women, and are what Blanchard calls "AHE" (autohomoerotic transsexuals) and it is the female version of AGP (autogynephilia). Contrary to what fujos say, this CAN be aggravated by consuming primarily M/M media. These fujos often detransition (because they realize they can just live easier as straight women). They often express after detransitioning that they wanted to "become their own husbando." These fujos prior to transition often claim to have been "lesbian all along," and express confusion of why they suddenly become interested in men after transitioning. But when you look into their dating history, it's clear that they primarily dated men, and are just attracted to the idea of homosexuality with a man, but since they can't achieve that homosexual relationship when they're "identifying as a woman," they identify as "lesbian" for the time being (settling). Hence why so many ""lesbians"" go on T and then become "trans gay men." These straight women, because they are straight, only care about M/M content and "gay trans man" is just another way of saying straight woman. They are the female version of AGP prison gay transbians.

No. 2137992
>>2136716I'm probably one of the anons you're mad at from the fandom thread. No one is "shitting on" (god I'm fucking sick of that phrase) F/F. Literally no one. We're clowning on you because you spend more time complaining about the popularity of M/M than you do writing your own stuff. I'm trying to communicate to you that you are the source of your own misery, because the lack of F/F content is a problem you can personally solve by just making more if it yourself.
Again, I've written F/F myself (typically in fandoms for IPs that have mostly female characters) and I do not put them in seme/uke roles. I don't even do that with male characters. Stereotypical seme/uke has fallen out of favor in the West, and even to a lesser extent in Japan. Complaining about seme/uke in 2024 is like complaining about denim skirts in 2024. It's out of fashion, and the people still into it are either resistant to change or they have such weirdly specific taste that their opinion won't be changed by your screaming at them.
I genuinely don't understand what the handful of hyper-aggrieved anti-fujos in this thread are trying to achieve. You want people to stop disliking female characters? Well, the radfems on Lolcor are a weird place to start, especially when you guys are so annoying that even reasonable anons here don't want to listen to you anymore. Want people to stop "shitting on" (ugh) your ship(s)? Stop interacting with retards and teenagers, then, because those are the only people who participate in ship wars. Mad that M/M and/or male characters are popular with women? Tough shit, most women are straight, and there isn't anything you can do about that. It's not healthy to get angry about things you can't control.

Christ forbid women do ANYTHING fun, nope, gotta aggressively over-anaylize and shame us for it.The scholar I quoted (Kazumi Nagaike) is a Japanese woman and an exclusive scholar of BL who has written multiple entire books on the subject and proposed the field of "BL Studies" using the framework of another woman, Nakajima Azusa. The article I quoted specifically in my post was "What is Japanese “BL Studies?”: A Historical and Analytical Overview," co-written by Nagaike herself along with another female sociologist, Tomoko Aoyama. Actually, the majority of the other researchers and authors of the articles featured the book I linked are female Japanese sociologists, all of whom were familiar with BL as a community enough to study it as an emerging social phenomenon. You are not interested in studying social phenomena or their developments, just compulsively slandering everything that you feel is an attack on your interest. I trust the opinions and insights of people (again, mostly Japanese women) who have studied this subject in depth in a historical and sociological context over some hyperdefensive (likely white) Western internet fujoshis, sorry. This lack of critical thinking and rush to jump to compulsively defend and counterattack anyone (mostly women) who even discusses the BL fandom without instantly affirming it (the line I quoted from this article is not even critical of BL fans. In fact, the article is quite neutral and sympathetic and even just stating observable facts about how historical/societal female oppression contributes to the consumption of BL and interest in it that we take for granted as obvious observations about fujoshis today) speaks to exactly the repression that the article was naming in the first place.

>a Japanese woman and an exclusive scholar of BL who has written multiple entire books on the subject and proposed the field of "BL Studies" That's fucking pathetic. Japan has the worst gender equality of any first-world nation, and this is how she decides to use her time and resources? Getting a useless MFA in English Lit (not psychology or anything related to how human sexuality works) and using it to tut-tut other women for being "repressed?"
>You are not interested in studying social phenomena or their developmentsNeither is she, because that's not what her fucking degree is in. She's a lit major LARPing as a sexologist. Also, if your sticking point is that I'm an evil huwite Westerner who isn't an expert on Japanese fujoshis, then by the same logic you can't use her work on Japanese women as a basis for assumptions about American ones (which by your own admission are the people at issue here.) Especially when, as I already established, Japan has worse gender inequality than any anglophone country, so they and Western women are going to have different attitudes towards sex and relationships because of that.
No. 2138486
>>2138430>Most of the names on the study are moid professors who teach gender studies classes.Gender studies (used to be "women's studies") is a subsection of sociology, but anyway no, the book (Boys Love Manga and Beyond: History, Culture, and Community in Japan) contains articles written by majority Japanese women sociologists, literary critics and film critics. All the listed Australian male literature professors did was compile these articles into a book and write an introduction into the subject.
>These are not "mostly women."The article I directly quoted and was referencing featured in the book (What is Japanese “BL Studies?”: A Historical and Analytical Overview) was written by solely two women - Nagaike and Aoyama - using a Japanese woman's (Azusa) framework.
>Also, if your sticking point is that I'm an evil huwite Westerner who isn't an expert on Japanese fujoshis, then by the same logic you can't use her work on Japanese women as a basis for assumptions about American ones (which by your own admission are the people at issue here.)I didn't say you're evil, just that you're probably less informed on the subject of the rise of BL throughout the years than a Japanese critic who has been studying it as a phenomenon native to her country for decades. First you assumed she was a "moid," and now you're blatantly dismissing her as a "pathetic windbag with a useless MFA" because you don't like what she said and you're being hair-
trigger defensive.

Getting a useless MFA in English Lit (not psychology or anything related to how human sexuality works) and using it to tut-tut other women for being "repressed?""Dating a moid" has nothing to do with how repressed/unrepressed you are. What does is how much you're willing to confront (and yes, discuss) your own sexuality as a woman and the sexuality of other women. By being aggressive and hyperdefensive toward any discussion of female (fujoshi) sexuality, yes, you are coming off as repressed, ironically proving Nagaike's quote correct. You think frankly any discussion of fujoshis that isn't immediate blind affirmation is an attack, even insinuating the only reason anyone would analyze this phenomenon is if they're "not focused on gender equality," even though the entire point of the article is to point out how gender inequality contributed to the rise in BL. You immediately feel the need to defend your personal life when someone who has studied the phenomenon and wrote books on the subject even speculates herself that the high consumption of BL (and increasing popularity across the globe)
itself might have something to do with female gender inequality (and the repression/shame women feel therein - the desire to alienate oneself from one's body through elimination of the female form altogether). Instead of being interested in gaining any insight into this phenomenon (in manga, which is exactly within the range of critique for Literature critics, whom often work as sociologists-through-analysis too - if you read any Dworkin you'd know what I'm talking about) you'd rather everyone just shut up and not talk about it at all, because you think even talking about it or drawing that link is "misogynist." That speaks to a repressed attitude where you feel "exposed" and subsequently ashamed, so you feel the need to attack the person/people who "exposed" you as retribution. Not an uncommon attitude amongst fujoshis.

I and everyone else are allowed to discuss whatever we want, including fujos, and you have no right to tell anyone else what to post, especially not in a thread (this thread) dedicated to this topic. You're not only acting incredibly entitled, but you're being annoying and your aggressive overdefensiveness is getting old. If you want to play the

Who does that besides someone who's already insecure about her "hobby" and needs to lash out at people she feels is criticizing her as a person by merely discussing that hobby, even if they aren't? Your hobbies shouldn't be your entire identity, so stop taking it so personally. Maybe log off and take a jog to get the fumes out if it offends you that badly. Throwing around insults and being defensive to the point where you compulsively slander anyone who discusses BL from a neutral perspective is never going to get people on your side.

If anything, you're telling me to shut up by demanding that I leave and go take a walk or whatever.Stop being pedantic. When I said you want people to shut up and not talk about it at all, it's because you came in this thread aggrieved that a book was written analyzing the BL audience in the first place. You said that the only reason any female literary scholar would be interested in this is if they weren't focused on the problem of gender inequality. Still, you claim that analyzing an audience/consumers of fictional works is just "obsessive psychoanalyzing" and "autistic moralfagging." How is the implication, then, anything other than you just wanting people to shut up and stop talking about it because to you any discussion of a BL audience that isn't completely positive is obsessive psychoanalysis/moralfaggotry? Is every discussion of the nature of the fujoshi fandom "character assassination"? And what does "fixated on 'owning' people" mean? I have a feeling you're projecting a little here. Literally all I did was quote a single article and you reflexively responded by calling it useless claptrap written by "moid porn addicts". Your argumentative strategy is to attack first, then walk back the obvious implications of the things you've already said that have been pointed out because "technically you didn't say that," and then accuse the other person of actually being the one who did [X]. But then again, by your own admission, you're just being defensive even though you and other BL fans were never being attacked, not by me or by the authors of that article. You came in this thread swinging, incredibly aggressive and accusatory, foaming at the mouth ready to attack both me and the authors of the article I quoted. No one is "attacking the character" of BL fans by positing that women's sexual repression may contribute to the production/consumption of BL, which is already pretty much an accepted social fact at this point. And in fact, the misogynistic nature of Japanese society (noted by multiple authors and articles in the book I linked) is most likely why the genre first arose there in the first place. Is stating that "attacking the character" of women who read BL? No. It's pointing out the reality of a cultural sexual repression of women and how that feeds into fiction. It's a conversation you, and many fujoshis, are uncomfortable with. That's part of the "repression" they're speaking about.
>Huh, I thought the title was "Fujo vs Anti-fujo discourse thread" not "anti-fujo echochamber."I didn't order you to stop coming in this thread. I said if it pisses you off so much to see people discussing it instead of mindlessly affirming it, maybe don't read the thread dedicated to people discussing it from a neutral perspective, because you literally asked me:

>>2139766>I already answered thatNot really. You said that in order to be "not repressed" a person has to "confront and discuss" their sexuality. But what is the end goal of that, exactly? What do you want to happen to me after I have some kind of epiphany about BL from letting you lecture me and agreeing to everything you say (since that's your idea of a "discussion," apparently.) Either I continue liking what I like in a way you deem adequately "self-aware" and you antis continue to seethe at me for the crime of liking something you don't, or I convert to liking all the same shit you do, because you have the Correct opinion, and only an Enlightened person who is Not Repressed can have your Enlightened Taste.
I'm being "hyper-aggressive" because that's the atmosphere of this thread. Idk what you think a healthy discussion of sexuality is, but it's not a retarded image board where everyone is hurling insults and accusations at each other. You don't know me. You have no idea how I discuss my interests and sexuality with normal human beings outside of schizocow.farm. This is like saying that a lesbian is "repressed" because she gets defensive when a bunch of people are screeching "dyke" at her. Hey, maybe the issue isn't actually that she's repressed, but that the environment she's in fucking sucks for introspection and the people in that space aren't worth having that conversation with in the first place.
I want to know what the fuck it is you actually want from me. In plain English. Don't give me that flowery bullshit that you want me to "confront my sexuality." I'm a fucking stranger on the internet, that's clearly not what you actually give a crap about here. What actually brought you to this thread in this first place, before you ever interacted with me? What is it about fujoshis that aggrieved you so severely that you dug through
fucking Google scholar for the sake of defending your intense hatred of shitty drawings and the strangers who enjoy them? You can coat that in all the purple prose you want, but that is fundamentally what you did: you wasted time doing
research for the sake of an anonymous online argument about
yaoi. That's the behavior of someone who is truly invested to an unhealthy degree in hating other peoples' hobbies.

I'm so confused by these contradicting statements. You come into a thread meant to discuss fujoshis and then say you "can't properly discuss fujoshis" because the "environment sucks." Not only do you (not) help contribute to said environment with every post you make so that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and try to shut down any discussion by harassing people for mere neutral discussion of BL or its fandom, but you're coming in here to argue by being hostile, hyperdefensive of your "hobby" (more like an identity given how personally you seem to take criticism of it) and attacking everyone who posts anything even slightly critical of or even neutral about BL/BL fandom in order to personally insure that productive discussion is impossible while you're active in the thread. You're the one who came in here hurling insults at not only me, but some other people in this thread who were critical of the M/M fandom, AND a bunch of authors (including the woman I quoted) whom you wrongly assumed were "porn-addicted moids" who were actually Japanese women academics, whom after learning this you then proceeded to call "moralfags" with "useless MFAs in literature" who "weren't focused on the real issues of gender inequality." Imagine if everyone told every literary or film critic who wasn't focused on becoming a social statistician studying domestic abuse instead or whatever that they were just "wasting their time" and "not focused on the real issues." Not to mention the fact that you only hurled these baseless insults in the first place because you felt your hobby (BL) and its fanbase was "under attack" by these writers simply by virtue of being analyzed under a
feminist framework akin to the way any book, film or their fandoms would be analyzed (wait until you learn about "Fan Studies").
>What do you want to happen to me after I have some kind of epiphany about BL>I want to know what the fuck it is you actually want from me. In plain English.I don't want anything from YOU.

>I'd like to know what the porn consumption habits are of the moids who wrote this claptrap are. Christ forbid women do ANYTHING fun, nope, gotta aggressively over-anaylize and shame us for it.The reason sociologists, literary critics, film critics, and historians study groups of people including fanbases is not because they 'hate' them. It's not about 'hating' anything. I don't 'hate' yaoi, BL, or fujoshis, and neither do any of the authors featured in the book. You must have an absolutely massive
victim complex to think that. This is lolcow, where you don't know my background either (I never claimed to know about yours), and since you have a
victim complex you're assuming I'm coming at this from a place of hatred. I'm simply not: that's you projecting your extremely negativistic personality onto me.
Since you've been so defensive, confusing, pedantic and inflammatory with your posts, I have to wonder what's motivating you to keep coming back to these same threads that piss you off and that you admitted you think are "bad environments for discussion," and I think that unfortunately what you're trying to do right now is trying to bury any rightful criticisms of BL/yaoi or its fandom(s) under long arguments you'll bait anyone into hoping that it that lasts several posts so that the threads devolve into petty pedantisms instead of keeping to the topic at hand (to distract from any criticism of BL/BL fandom), so this will be the last time I respond to you. Hopefully any other anons in this thread learn from this and don't reply to your bait in the future. It should be easy, since your overtly aggressive, whiny posting style is easily identifiable.

>>2140928Both straight ships and BL ships engage in misogyny by putting the female secondary or background characters in their stories as archetypal stereotypical characters who either act like maid therapist mommies to the main couple or is a seductress villainess bitch.
The female character in the straight 18+ story Wild nights who is a older sister to the female main character, worked hard to protect her younger sister, had to do prostitution to help her sister survive and now will be married to some man who hates her and is only using her as a replacement for the person who he actually wants who is her younger sister and abuses the older sister, and thats basically the older sisters life. There is no compassiom from the writer or the readers of this story towards the ilder sister because in romance stories the female secondary or background characters are supposed to be self-sacrificing or if they are not then they are cartoonish villains.

>>2139891What you invited me to do wasn't "have a discussion" it was to "confront my sexuality," like you're my goddamn therapist. This is not a good environment for the kind of introspection you claim to want from me. Or I guess fujoshis collectively like we're some kind of hivemind, since you take issue with the word "me."
I made some baseless assumptions about the article (it's not a "study") based on it being brought up in this context. If I'd come across it on Google or whatever, I probably wouldn't have reacted the same way. I was unfair to the author because I attributed your traits to her. I still maintain that getting an MFA in lit to study yaoi is a pretty frivolous way for someone to use access to higher education, though. She's entitled to do what she wants, though, and she doesn't deserve to be insulted just because a random puritan on Lolcor weaponized her writing in an argument.

>>2136716NTA, I've seen fujos here on lc (and on other imageboards) interpret "wanting to promote your preferred genre of romance" as "wanting to force fujos to abandon BL and cater to you", so many times, it cannot be a coincidence. Those posters must have some sort of personality disorder or be really young and immature. Or maybe it's the result of spending too much time on the internet. Their persecution complex gets ridiculous sometimes.
When I say "their" I only mean these specific posters #NotAllFujos>>2139891Love you nonna, great post. Holy shit after reading all of it you're so ultra mega based for this. I would've done the same, but it's just so tiring writing these detailed and well thought out posts that the other person is just going to mostly ignore to throw retarded accusations at you anyway, and with such a calm mind too. I just want you to know that other anons read and agree with your posts. Very informative, too.
I noticed how her knee-jerk reaction was to completely ignore the sources you cited because she thought you were calling her repressed and that the authors were putting blame on the woman for it. They actually thought those Japanese academics were saying that fujos need to get fucked kek how the fuck do you even reach that conclusion… This lack of critical thinking and reading comprehension is unbelievable. It's so fucking obvious the author did not mean that at all, and was probably arguing that women are repressed because they're oppressed as a sex class (I read your other posts and turns out I was right). Fujos like her don't realize these analyses are about fujos in general and not about her, and that fujos on lc don't represent all fujos either, not even in the west (so there shouldn't be a reason to get offended over what was observed and analyzed in fujoshi that are different from them).
That particular poster got so sensitive over the word "repressed" that she went to the male vs. female character thread and attacked a different anon that made a neutral observation about fujos because she thought that anon was you kekekekek I fucking hate hypersensitive, hyperdefensive, paranoid morons like this, they make intelligent discussion impossible, and when you point that out, they mock you for ever trying to have that on this imageboard as if it was forbidden here to use your brain. "A-actually YOU'RE the retard for not acting retarded, NOT me!!! HA-HA" Typical.Also, in one of your previous posts
>>2138486 you mentioned
>That speaks to a repressed attitude where you feel "exposed" and subsequently ashamedThere's a tendency amongst our local fujospergs to call other nerdy women "cringe", especially yumejoshi. Yumes often proudly accept that what they do is considered cringe-worthy, so they don't seem to have the same level of anxiety over what others think about them as these fujos, it doesn't affect them much to be called autistic or cringe (the anti-yume thread that got locked a while ago had a lot of yumes just having fun laughing at themselves and didn't get many replies kekmao). But these specific fujos seem to have an obsession over how they're perceived by their peers, like they impulsively shit on other women's taste whether the other person was being a shithead or not. It always makes me think if they aren't just terrified of being "cringe" themselves, which no one but the obvious anti-fujo trolls are accusing them of being. Hence why they interpret any sort of analysis of their preferred media and communities as a personal attack, such as thinking that "repressed" is always an insult, no matter the context (hell, even I consider myself repressed. It's nothing to be ashamed of and I know no one is persecuting me for saying women's sexualities are repressed in a misogynistic society - quite the opposite, someone who says that is being sympathetic to me). Then they neurotically try to shut you down. You're absolutely right about this based on what I, and other anons here, have seen.
>>2141154Everyone who disagrees with them is the same person or a moid or a prude or a homophobe, didn't you know. They always assume there's one or two posters (at most) with a hateboner for fujos and those are the ones making every single comment about fujoshi, whether it be the obvious baity ones, the well-written and civil ones that are looking for serious discussion, or just casual, non-aggressive comments from someone who just joined the thread. They hate it when people who do not explicitly self-identify as one of them analyze their fujo fandom because they feel personally attacked, maybe they're afraid of being called troons or cringe, or something else they won't like, idk. At their age they should be able to distinguish beween those who genuinely attack them for their tastes and people who simply want to find out why we like stuff, especially stuff that is sexual and might have deep psychological implications (many of these people who want to find out were at some point fujos themselves). They don't realize it's exactly that sort of overly defensive behaviour that gives them such bad rep. God forbid some of us are curious as to why women like what they like, because fuck curiosity i guess. I've never seen yumes, husbandofags or other kinds of nerds on this site get so aggressively defensive when others try to respectfully figure out why their kind have those preferences. Analyzing this stuff can be pretty fun but these people make it really hard to keep the discussion civil.
>>2139821The funniest thing is that it wasn't even a criticism, it was just analyzing fujos. And I don't think it was aimed at her either, since every single post that this one
>>2136906 was replying to referred to the fujo fandom as a whole, not that fujo anon nor lc fujos in particular (one was even a screenshot from Twitter, why are they getting offended over a Twitter Mpregfag artist being called "repressed"? Oh right, because they
are Twitterfags as seen in their usage of the term "antis" here

>>2141411>"wanting to promote your preferred genre of romance" as "wanting to force fujos to abandon BL and cater to you"I talked to those anons, they're saying they found bizarre that those people complain about large number of BL rather than making their own stuff, they suspect that such people have zero sum mindset - if there's more yaoi, there's less hetero stuff for them, so this is where the "cater to you" take comes from. I don't think they do, they're just frustrated seeing it all the time, but how is this our fault, lmao, we should go into internet counterpart of caves and hide? The jealousy over our amount of content should become something more productive and enjoyable for them. Also how did you get "i want to rpomote my genre" from "i'm so annoyed seeing fujostuff all the time, you're everywhere, ugggh"?
>Their persecution complex gets ridiculous sometimes.I sometimes get that impression from the anti-fujo side as well.
>They actually thought those Japanese academics were saying that fujos need to get fucked kek The idea is kind of implied and in the air, you stop repressing - you stop being a deviant and liking yaoi (and also the rape trope, presumably). Maybe not in this paper, but that's something you can hear irl quite often.
>That particular poster got so sensitive over the word "repressed" that she went to the male vs. female character thread and attacked a different anon that made a neutral observation about fujos because she thought that anon was you kekekekekI was the anon in the male vs female thread, i didn't specifically went there to fight about that, the majority of my post was fairly neutral as well.

>That speaks to a repressed attitude where you feel "exposed" and subsequently ashamedIsn't it completely off-putting? It's so off-putting to talk like that and psychoanalyze anons like that and say she's in denial if she doesn't agree and seems "defensive"? That's so creepy. I got
triggered over that.
>There's a tendency amongst our local fujospergs to call other nerdy women "cringe", especially yumejoshi.Is there a tendency in fujos to call nerdy women cringe? Which ones exactly, except yumes? Also himes sometimes. Because all of those groups are infighting together. Idk why war with yumejoshi started, they probably thought they were mainly being anti-fujosperging, but i'm not sure.
>such as thinking that "repressed" is always an insult"Repressed" theory just sounded extremely retarded. The anon's leap into assumption that they meant they should stop repressing their feminine sexuality and get fucked is understandable because that's how those conversations could often go, sadly. There was nothing particularly "intelligent" in it and we heard it 1000 times already for decades and it was indeed weaponized, i don't blame her.
>maybe they're afraid of being called troons or cringe, or something else they won't like, idk. Not afraid exactly, it just became extremely tiresome over time to hear how we're mysogynistic, immoral and mentally ill porn-addicts, of course the pushback started to form. Those threads started to pop after infights started by hostile anti-fujo posters were happening for years already, the defensiveness is understandable, imo. It does quite seem like team sports now, like an anon from meta said, kek. Not a good environment at all.

>>2141492>I read that and I got TRIGGERED because I thought you were gonna say->When have fujos called other women cringe??? Idk why the war with yumejoshi started tbhThanks for confirming that you're a newfag with zero critical thinking skills
If you're so mad that some people call fujos degenerates why did you lash out at one random person that AT NO POINT called you names or implied you're a "sexual deviant"? A poster that only shared a quote from actual female Japanese academics that actually know what Japanese fujos are like? You're just dismissing their whole work because you don't like what it implies, solely because in your paranoid little head you interpret it as "you're a disgusting degenerate and need to get dicked to be cured of it" (fucking insane). It doesn't matter how bullied you were by normies and moids for being into yaoi, it doesn't change the fact that those Japanese authors are onto something, like it or not. It is you and only you who is attributing a malicious and insulting meaning to their words. Like oh no, the situation of women worldwide in a patriarchal society has caused fujos (and other kinds of women that don't throw a hissy fit over it) to develop a preference for certain kinds of media!! Boo-hoo, big fucking deal. I like to rape men in my imagination and I'm not going to get offended if someone tells me it's due to social factors because I'm already aware it's true.
And like I said in my post (you probably didn't even read it all because you couldn't contain your rage so you just nit-picked the convenient parts), you are utterly incapable of distinguishing between those who obviously have a hateboner for fujos, the ones who call you names and shame you for liking things they don't like, whom we all agree are retards, and those who couldn't give two fucks about your taste but are curious as to why fujos exhibit certain patterns of behavior which are proven real again and again. I repeat, this speaks a severe lack of critical thinking.
Nobody that fits the second type of anon I mentioned wants to take yaoi away from you, contrary to what you think. In fact, while I may not be a fujoshi, there's a couple of yaoi ships I'm passionate about and sometimes I enjoy BL media such as visual novels and one-shot manga. It's just that my whole life and taste aren't dedicated exclusively to yaoi. Like I said before, I'm a degenerate, and wouldn't mind anyone on LC trying to analyze the reason, because I don't take it personally, I don't misinterpret it as an attack on my person, or as a judgement on my taste. Personally, I'm not against women enjoying drawings of cute moids fucking each other, if you're an adult this should be easy for you to comprehend.
All that is asked of you is that you stop acting like a retard whenever someone tries to discuss, from a neutral point of view, why some fujos act the way they do or why yaoi/BL is the way it is (might I add, several of the questions in the OP were made in bad faith, as you can clearly tell by looking at the OP pic - this thread was started by a butthurt fujo).
It's clear to me now that fujos like you know nothing about feminism, not even the basic theses, and so we don't have a common ground, which is why you and us cannot be on the same page, leading to you misinterpreting and assuming wrongly, then making wild accusations and starting dumbass arguments that lead nowhere. You would be right if you were in a scrote-infested place like 4chan, but this isn't 4chan, so stop acting like it is.
You retards say "fujos aren't a hivemind" like a mantra, but then proceed to act like everybody else is a hivemind. You cannot demand that others stop assuming you're all the same if you wouldn't do the same for us. That's not how it works.
>There was nothing particularly "intelligent" in it and we heard it 1000 times already for decades and it was indeed weaponized>misogynistic moids being misogynistic and telling women that they need to get raped is the reason a quote by Japanese feminist academics that was used to explain a bunch of examples of observable behavior in some fujoshi is not "intelligent" discussionI honestly don't know what to say anymore.
>>2141454This post was bait btw, it says
>should the /bl/ thread be deleted?>If you could ban women from writing yaoi>admit that the reason they like bl is because they have serious issues?How anyone could take these disingenuous as fuck questions seriously is beyond me.
>>2142194Yeah, when someone talks about them but isn't praising them, it's an attack against them, apparently. They're most definitely newfags that came here after being bullied off other websites for different reasons. That would explain why they're so sensitive to what they perceive as "criticism", have no idea what you're talking about when you mention incidents here on LC involving fujos (things that happened a year or two ago on this and other boards, for example), and why they fail to understand basic feminist thought, even going as far as thinking feminists want them to get raped, or pretending that yaoi is the most based feminist thing to consoom.
When they think you're attacking them for being fujos, they bring up different reasons, for example, some fujos assume farmers are like Xitter gendies and are attacking them for being homophobic or some other bullshit gendie reason, and other fujos, such as this one, think farmers have the same thought process as channer scrotes and shame fujos for being degenerate deviant women who don't want 3DPD moids to fuck them. It's all weird-ass accusations that can only be explained by them being newfags. But anyone who has been on this site for more than a few months and visited any thread other than the BL thread knows that nobody here thinks like that.

Why is it so hard for antifujos to understand that women like yaoi because its just two hot guys, aka double the dick? it's so weird to me how they all project their insecurities onto fujos like this. Like duh no straight woman wants to see pussy and boobs, is that really that big of a revelation? i know women are expected to express their sexuality through pleasing the other instead of focusing on the man being the eye candy, but you genuinely cant be this fucking dense and retarded. I never see this level of scrutiny and overthinking for stuff like oily pirate novels or women buying lingerie for their scrotes. Considering that so much of female sexuality is centered around the women being a sex object for ugly men i dont understand how a genre thats just about men looking hot for the woman(viewer) causes this much seething.

These people are so fucking entitled, they care more about a fictional woman than the real women they are constantly nagging about. I will never understand antifujos, i cannot imagine caring about something as harmless as straight women liking hot men. Their big problem seems to be that some women detach their sexuality from looking good for men, they want men to catter to them instead and look sexy for them and that's what antifujos find so offensive. Terminal case of being pickmes.

>>2293765>visually assaulted by uglies and fattiesits a glee reference anon kek
and to the rest of your post, what i should have said to make it clearer was that I too have struggled with self esteem issues, but part of getting over them was realising how women are groomed to accept dogshit f/m instead of f/m content that actually focuses on female enjoyment. Not in the way that serves men, as in literally focusing on a sexy woman, but ourselves. Consuming content that only focuses on two men is still centering men, even if its made by women for women. Same could be said about f/m mafia boss alpha dom romance slop made by women for women, it's still catering to manifestations of misogynistic thought. It's like guys getting meme'd into bizarro fetishes, the brain has the ability to latch onto whatever dopamine source it can find, and understanding why your brain latched onto something helps you understand more about yourself and the people around you. I've gotten into horrible fetish content before specifically because of my past low self esteem and weird manifestations of trauma, and I could have just kept feeding into it because "you like what you like", but as I've built my confidence up, and gone to therapy, and worked on deprioritizing male pleasure, I've realized how empowering it is to be in control of your brain/freewill and choose better.

You're saying it's about freewill, but what is exactly free will about having a right choice and a wrong choice in what you have in entertainment?
I understand that you mention that the people around you also had low self esteem, but rather than because of it being yaoi specifically, that it could have been because you are in a nerdish hobby and that others with similiar mental states will flock together?
No. 2293966
>>2293914>>2293907>You're saying it's about freewill, but what is exactly free will about having a right choice and a wrong choice in what you have in entertainment?It's more that all humans have the capacity for freewill, but everybody has some level of baggage that limits or dictates their actions. There's a spectrum of self-awareness, and a lack of it restricts ones expression of free will because you aren't fully aware of why you're doing the things you're doing. It's why choice feminism fails women who "choose" to do sex work, because even if those women feel as if they're unharmed by it, they're making those choices inside the context of everything surrounding them.
>the people around you also had low self esteem, but rather than because of it being yaoi specifically, that it could have been because you are in a nerdish hobby and that others with similiar mental states will flock together?I don't think yaoi is the only outlet women with low self esteem might choose, but it was the outlet of choice for some of the girls around me. It's like if I become an alcoholic vs someone doing crack, we're both running away from something, our brains just latched onto different things to self soothe. I also don't think this is exclusive to women with just nerdy interests as I believe women with normie interests are also subjected to their own strains of self esteem issues.
>do you think it's impossible for a woman to draw yaoi without having similiar self esteem/trauma that you did, is it always out of centering men and misogynyI think every woman is given from the get-go a subconcious lack of self-esteem because women aren't prioritized in society, men are. And for 99.9% of women, they're raised to prioritize the people around them over themselves, with an emphasis on being polite, or caring, or self-sacrificing, or appealing. Being caring and polite aren't inherently bad traits, you would want everybody to have them, the issue is that there's an imbalance in who is expected to have those traits and who is punished more severely for not having them. The reason why yaoi content is so popular in fandom spaces is the same reason why alphadom rape romance novel slop is so popular; the majority of women haven't deprogrammed themselves by decentering men, and so their brain has latched onto misogynistic content to get their dopamine fix which makes it feel good. Liberal women still prioritize the comfort of the people around them, often left-leaning men but also other women afraid of the discomfort self-questioning brings. Which is why there's so many handmaidens and radical feminism is vilified, because even considering it means rocking the boat. And if you rock the boat, as a woman, you're unpleasant.
>does this ring true vice versa, are the male writers of arcane wrong for writing lesbians?This is a good question and I honestly haven't thought about it as much to give you a well thought out answer. But my initial inclination is that no, it isn't, as long as lesbian content isn't the bulk of everything they make creatively. I don't have an issue with women who happen to like an m/m ship here or there if it's well written, because the focus is on whatever story is being told. The issue with fujoshi is that it's such a heavy focus, it says something about the person, just like a dude super into yuri is suspect too. Especially if it's X-rated content.

I'm not saying that 99% of women have the exact same trauma as me, I'm saying that all women are impacted by the world we live in and because of the biases against women it manifests in many different ways but is ultimately there regardless. It's possible to recondition yourself because of neuroplasticity, and you can only do it effectively if you're aware of and understand what's influencing you. I guess it's narrowminded if you think everybody's opinion has as much merit/truth as the next purely on the basis of us all being human, but that's exactly why I don't. Most people aren't self aware, or they're partially self aware but trapped half way because of fear/ego/complacency

Is it focused in on only the woman and her getting off (on dick)? If so, what really is the difference between a solo female pin up?

>>2294059I’ve been wondering about this too. I remember seeing this phrase used in radfem circles when discussing real-world issues, and in that context, I completely agree with it. However, this year I have noticed antifujos—many of whom are straight shippers or consume highly misogynistic OI manga—accusing fujos of being male-centered. It’s honestly bizarre. I suspect that the rise in radfeminism’s popularity on TikTok has contributed to this.

>>2294067>>2294070You can curate your experience of a fandom if you're willing to invest some work. Find some people within the fanbase who share your specific taste and join a group chat or discord with them. The fandoms I'm in are full of retardation, but I'm exposed to very little of it because I only engage with the fandoms through friends who don't post the things that annoy me.
The older I get, the more I find fandoms as a concept to be a little overrated. Searching for fanwork I like and making a few friends are really the only purposes fandoms serve for me. With the right filters, I can usually cruise through Ao3, Tumblr, etc. without seeing things I dislike. The whole "so-and-so is shoving [x] in my face" argument has really broken down as social media feeds have gotten increasingly customizable over the years.

>>2294059your whole sexuality revolves around males, you literally fantasize about a world where women don't exist because we're too inferior to be loved by some feminine fag. It makes my skin crawl where women claim that these media devoid of female characters where males are free to rape each other as they please is a "feminist utopia". It's the ultimate display of self hatred.
Men who are into yuri actually fantasize about fucking these women themselves and see them as their personal whores. Fujos put fags on a pedestal, hate their bodies and think anime boys are too good and precious to be forced into eating her out.
They are bottom feeders, it's the most submissive form of female sexuality. Like fags could be fucking on a couch and then after they are done the meek fujo would just lick the cum and shit off the cushions.

It really speaks to how much more cerebral and self-aware women are than moids that we're sitting around arguing about the degree to which yaoi "centers men" despite being made by and for women. I'm not interested in taking a side on that particular debate, I just think it's interesting that we hold ourselves to such high moral standards even when it comes to porn, meanwhile moids will do the most depraved shit on Earth and shrug it off. They're not having arguments about whether they're undermining their own interests as a group by consuming media that "centers" women (although the degree to which the slop they enjoy centers women is debatable).
I'm not suggesting we should have zero standards the way moids do, because that's part of how moids end up being a bunch of toaster-fuckers. However, I think we should probably be a little more lenient with each other, because all of this tut-tutting over whose taste is more "feminist" strikes me as crab-bucketing. It just seems like a waste of energy to denigrate each other all day when we're already a million times more conscientious about the ethics of porn consumption than our moid counterparts.

>>2294220>>2294296>>2294234It isn't saying that a submissive man literally objectively equals a woman, it's pointing out the way that sexist thought manifests in fujos and the content they consume. And no, it isn't necessarily a concrete conscious thought, it's a reflection of societal messaging that's been built up over time
>>2294082The "centering" is about the way men are raised to be selfish, and women aren't. This isn't to say all men and women are equally split on this trait in a blatantly obvious literal way, but it's part of their social conditioning. Men prioritize themselves inside their own fantasies and do so to a selfish degree that doesn't care about the pleasure of the women involved, if it happens it happens but it isn't their goal. M/M cannot decenter men because the whole point is it's two men getting off, and even if you a woman are thinking about it you're doing it passively from the mental cuckchair or you're projecting onto one or both of the men. Men cry and bitch and scream about being forced to identify with a woman MC because they've been pampered by society to always get their way, whereas women are forced to identify with men in some way because they are the default in media. When women are the protagonists its either in specialized genres exclusive to women, or marked as notable because it will inevitably be brought up by people bitching and complaining about it. In m/f that isn't dogshit, the goal of the fantasy is fulfilling female desires first and foremost, regardless of if the guy gets equal pleasure or not. It may happen but it isn't the goal.
>>2294067Ultimately this is what my frustration was too and why I posted in the fujocoomer thread in the first place.

No doy someone's sexuality "revolves" around the sex they're attracted to. Now, whether you prefer to engage with m/m or m/f as a straight woman is more about how you personally engage with fiction, and whether you take a more voyeuristic approach when it comes to reading romance. For some women, the sexes of the characters is entirely irrelevant. All of this boils down to how you prefer to interact with fiction.

>>2294576I'm not talking about everyman protagonists, I'm just talking about protagonists in general and their function in a story.

Otherwise you get the rick and morty or bojack horseman bros that think rick and bojack are always in the right, so to them that IS an everyman protagonist. I also prefer engaging characters, the point I'm trying to make is that seeing more female protags as the main beneficiary in their relationships is ultimately better for a female romance viewerbase, because they're also female. and theres such a severe lack of romance content that doesn't cater to women still influenced by sexist thinking in some way, so it makes sense why fujos find mainstream m/f unappealing, I just think that m/m is doing a disservice to themselves. I don't think it's odd to engage with a variety of content, and like I said I don't think it's weird to like an m/m ship here or there if it's well written, because it's just a good story. It's when that's the sole focus of content a woman is consuming that it becomes a question of "why", which I know theres multiple reasons why, but it's the same thing as dudes who are super into yuri, or anyone else with a specific fixation on certain kinds of content. I'm aware of the reasons behind my own media preferences too, I'm not saying this because I think it's exclusive to fujos.

Fujos are pretty much the only people who've
stopped berating characters for being "in the way," because fujos (western ones, least) are actually responsive to criticism. Seme/uke stereotypes were too "
problematic," so now they're super diluted and everybody switches (a change I'm honestly fine with as a fujo). Instead of being demonized, "in the way" characters are now either shipped with another female character or written as supportive faghag matchmaker. Let's not even get into how neurotic western fujos have made themselves over the "fetishizing gay men" allegation. These people are trying so goddamn hard to be PC and appease people because that's what women have been socialized to do.

Similarly, standard m/m is not cuckshit if you're a gay moid, because (if you were to deconstruct the mechanics of that like an autist), you're likely inserting as a participant on some level.

Hot take: the moralfagging is just a false pretext anti-fujos use to scold fujos. The thing they're actually mad about is the popularity of slash and yaoi in female nerd spaces online. They're bitter that the shit they like doesn't have the same amount of content or community around it, so they lash out at fujos. And the more time they waste squawking at us, the less time they spend making fanart and fanfic, further perpetuating the problem. That's why they feel like whenever they see yaoi art, their response is to complain that it's being rubbed in their face. I imagine if you're jealous of the fun other people are having, seeing any glimpse of it feels like it's being "rubbed in your face." Kek.

>>2296499>If you were to design a joseimuke piece for maximum moid analpocalypse, what would it be? How can we improve Free?It would have to appeal to more "normal" men, like shonentards, on paper but the story and presentation would have to be extra gay. Not necessarily canon gay but it should be vague enough to be interpreted as such by men who have no clue about anything related to BL or fanservice for women, you know, the type of men who are like "ew what's that gay shit?!" if a cool and strong male character has normal emotions for once. Male otaku know too much about joseimuke and BL to fall into this kid of trap so they wouldn't even get that mad, there has to be an element of surprise which is the reason why Free!! made men seethe so hard back in the days so it shouldn't be a sports anime. Try to not make it too much like Gintama or Golden Kamuy, they're way more popular with women than men so it would be easy to predict the type of audience we're trying to attract. And what they have in common is that the main characters are handsome young adult men with an obvious tragic backstory and their heroines are much younger teenage girls that they treat like their daughters/little sisters and women love that. Make the main characters older or younger, late 20s is to obviously appealing for women. However you have to find the right balance because some straight men have a weird version of husbandos if they're huge mary sue but in a cool or fun way and you don't want that to happen to your manga/anime.
Ideally there should be no female characters whatsoever but if they exist they should be treated the same way or worse than in JJK with Nobara being put aside for half of the manga despite being branded as the mandatory heroine. It's shonenshit but it's the first time I've ever since straight men who aren't hardcore otaku talking about how some characters are way too gay for each other and asking fujoshi to forgive them when the second season started.
tldr; a manga or anime that would make men seethe to oblivion doesn't have to be gay but it has to be perceived as such by insecure or autistic straight men, and it has to be unexpected, so it should avoid certains trends and genres that are currently associated with yumejoshi, fujoshi and joseimuke in general. The genre, plot and characters should be as stereotypically masculine as possible only at first glance but without having female characters and with the right balance of appeal for men and what would disgust them.

>have male fanserviceIf we're talking about harem manga and anime, we need radical things like the group of main characters going to an onsen and you'd expect the girls to be naked in the water doing stupid shit for the male audience like groping each other or comparing boob sizes. Instead you should never, ever show them at all except in their kimono hanging out after the bath, and only show the naked guys bathing and saying stupid fanservicey things to each other. You have to play with the audience's expectations.

I read both BL and het but I have zero things in common with the spergs that have camped in this thread over the last couple of days, both sides are fighting strawmen, I miss the past threads where nonas actually presented their thoughts in a structured format and had more things to say than just calling each other pickmes, misogynists and coomers. Some of the newer nonnies talking today seem normal though, hoping for some productive discussions
>>2297502Exactly.
In the past threads I've seen mention of manga titles that do have a hetero relationship based on mutual respect, but the protags still got called a whore and a pickme etc over nitpicky reasons (being married to a man, being visible during sex scenes, blushing, having roughly C/D cup boobs etc). Better to simply ignore people like that whose mind is already made up from the start.
