<< review queue entry 50659 - submitted by 'monigeria' >> from this article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-china-blog-25550426 "And among this group of fans, many identify themselves as funu or "rotten women" - young women who like gay stories. "I have to say, this show is catering to our rotten girls' taste more and more," said one fan. " baidu: “腐女”一词源自于日语，是由同音的“腐女子（ふじょし）”转化而来，为喜爱BL的女性自嘲的用语。腐女的“腐”在日文有无可救药的意思，而腐女是专门指称对于男男爱情——BL系作品情有独钟的女性，通常是喜欢此类作品的女性之间彼此自嘲的讲法。 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaoi_fandom Fujoshi (腐女子?, lit. "rotten girl") is a self-mockingly pejorative Japanese term for female fans of manga and novels that feature romantic relationships between men. Fujoshi enjoy imagining what it would be like if male characters from manga and anime, and occasionally real-life male performers as well, loved each other. The label encompasses fans of the boys love genre itself, as well as the related manga, anime, and video game properties that have appeared as the market for such works has developed. The term "fujoshi" is a homophonous pun on fujoshi (婦女子?), a term for respectable women, created by replacing the character 婦 (pronounced fu), meaning married woman or lady, with the character 腐 (also pronounced fu), meaning fermented or rotten. The name was coined by mass media, but was reclaimed by yaoi fans.[18] Fans self-deprecatingly refer to their way of thinking, which perceives homosexual relationships between male characters in stories that do not include homosexual themes, as being "rotten". "Fujoshi" carries a connotation of being a "fallen woman".[40] |
