Everybody’s Fujoshi Girlfriend
Highlights and Sticky Notes:
Media treatment of the fujoshi concept has always been problematic.
As a result, when media attention eventually turned to actual fujoshi, the elevator pitch — “They’re otaku, except girls!” — was more or less accurate (granting a broad reading of “otaku”), but the implications were misunderstood. If fujoshi were girl otaku, they must be the girls usually appearing alongside otaku in those TV specials and magazine articles, right? You know — the maids.
But no.
