you might be a fujoshi if


LOL Interesting manga, but more interesting to me is that the fujoshi (rotten/bad woman) seems to be the only female Otaku stereotype ever mentioned. I thought it's supposed to just be for female fans of yaoi/BL, but it is some kind of all-encompassing term for the female otaku?

Fujoshi is a (mostly derogatory) term for female BL fans.

Actually it is an ironic self depreciating term that came out of the BL fan scene in Japan. Like all such terms it's use is somewhat fluid.

Within BL circles it's ironic and self-depreciating. Outside of BL circles it's a derogatory term.
