Further Fudanshi terminology research:
according to Japanese wikipedia (machine translated)
Fudanshi , all- name fudanshi (Japanese: fudanshi / Fudanshi Fudanshi ) , yasaku fudanshi ( fudanshi / fukei Fukē ), fujoshi ’s lyricism, Sokushi-kiri BL , Bara , Yaoi ’s works men [1] . “Rotten brother” is a model of “parents” [1] , appeared in 2002, first seen on PINK channel ( Japanese : PINK channel ) 801 board [2] .
translated from:
腐男，全稱腐男子（日语：腐男子／ふだんし Fudanshi），也作腐兄（腐兄／ふけい Fukē），為基於腐女衍生而來的詞彙，即指喜歡BL、Bara、Yaoi作品的男性[1]。「腐兄」一詞則是模仿「父兄」[1]，2002年出現，最初見於PINK channel（日语：PINKちゃんねる）的801板[2]。
So from this, we can glean that the term “fudanshi” first gained usage around 2002, on Japanese imageboards. Specifically PINK channel which was an adults only imageboard.
I’m very familiar with the history behind “fujoshi” as a term, but do you have any idea how “fudanshi” became a thing? I haven’t ever been able to actually find anywhere that agrees 100% on how “fudanshi” happened.
I don’t have any clear sources on this either, unfortunately.
I do know for a fact that fundanshi is used (and likely originated) in japan as well.
My best guess would be that it was coined in Japanese ‘fujoshi’ fandom circles to refer to members of the group who were not girls or women.
I’ll try to do some research on this and see what I come up with!
Fujoshi
😘 Originally started as a misogynistic slur hurled by Japanese men at Japanese girls and women in fandom
😘 Is a pun or portmanteau that literally means “rotten woman”
😘 Colloquially means “unmarriageable”, “not good wife material”
😘 Basically means someone who is more interested in fandom husbandos than getting married and raising a family
😘 Is a widely reclaimed and self-applied label in Japan by Japanese women, and by other women in fandom throughout the world.
😘 Is still a slur if you use it against someone as an insult, including if that person is not Japanese.
😘 Funny enough if you call a western fan a “fujoshi” or a “fujo” as an insult you are using it in the same way as a conservative Japanese man who thinks women need to get offline and into the kitchen.
Hope that helps!
There’s this fic I’ve had bookmarked since it first got published, and it’s one of my favorites! Recently, I’ve been thinking about leaving a comment just to express to the author how much I enjoy their work, but I’m not very good with words, so I don’t really know what exactly I should say.I know this is a bit of a silly question, but do you have any advice on what might qualify as a “good comment”? 😅
What counts as a “good comment” varies from author to author, but here are some types of comments that almost never go wrong.
- “I love this so much.”
- “thank you for writing this.”
- “this fic makes me feel (your emotion here)”.
- “I’m re-reading this again.”
- “I loved this part! (Paste line or section here.)
- A string of heart emojis.
- "I wish I could kudos a second time.”
- “I love your writing ”
- “I don’t know what to comment but I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your work.”
I hope this helped you out, anon! I know your author will be really happy to receive any comment you give!
yo, shoutout to people in fandom with super random, weird, and extremely cringey ships.
you ship rainbow dash with spongebob? fucking VALID my guy.
Characters like Naoto Shirogane and Chihiro Fujisaki are portrayed in their games as “not trans” due exclusively to socially ingrained transphobia in Japan.
Notice that in both these cases the source material portrays dressing and living as other than their assigned gender as a personal weakness of character.
If ONLY the character had more strength of heart and willpower, they would embrace their assigned gender and live that way.
The text reframes both character’s struggle with gender the same way– as a struggle with sexism– because, broadly speaking, that’s how being transgender has been framed in their society.
Socially, transwomen are seen as deficient men.
Socially, transmen are seen as overly butch women.
Like in America, and other parts of the world its only recently that these types of views are even starting to change.
These characters can be viewed as cis, certainly they are as far as canon is concerned, but only due to their narratives having been framed from the point of view described.
Bringing this back since they rereleased Persona 4.
