CATDOLL: Hot discussion among Japanese otakus: Why don't they like gay-themed anime?

In recent years, fujoshi and fujoshi-selling animations have appeared in new seasons of anime, and many Japanese otakus have expressed dissatisfaction with this. Last year, the popularity of "Osomatsu-chan" also made Japanese otakus very sensitive to "fujoshi". It seems that Japanese otakus really hate fujoshi-oriented animations. What is the reason for this? Let's take a look at what Japanese otakus have to say.

Netizen 1: Many of this year's animations are for women or gays, why do so many people say they hate these animations? Actually, the content and style are not bad, some are quite good.

Netizen 2: I don't hate these animations, but I'm disgusted by the fujoshi who arbitrarily pair up couples in animations and force normal animations into fujoshi, which makes me disgusted with animations. Actually, if you think about it carefully, animations themselves are not guilty.

Netizen 3: Since it can attract so many rotten girls, it cannot be said that the animation itself is completely fine. Some animations are indeed very blatantly selling rottenness and flattering rotten girls. I really hate such animations.

Netizen 4: I also don't like those animations that are too deliberately gay. Just make animations that focus on the subject matter. Although I don't like gay stuff, I find that animations that are truly gay are better, such as "The World's Greatest First Love".

Netizen 5: I think that many people now regard otome-oriented dramas as fujoshi-oriented dramas. Don't assume that dramas with many male characters are fujoshi-oriented. Not all dramas with many male characters are fujoshi-oriented. For example, "Hakuouki", "Uta no Prince-sama" and "Ouran High School Host Club" are all otome-oriented dramas, and they don't sell fujoshi-oriented dramas.

Netizen 6: Speaking of gay anime, I don’t like “Kuroko’s Basketball” very much, but I think “Haikyuu!!” is very good. Why is that?

Netizen 7: According to the correct definition, gay animation should be centered on men, with women only being supporting roles. Otome animation should have women as the protagonists, with men being the heroines' harem, right?

Netizen 8: As a male, I think it is very enjoyable to watch animations like "High School Life of a Fudanese Male Enhancement Program". It is quite good if you watch it purely as a comedy.
