Since it's been so heavily associated with young women and queer folk for like 15+ years

Like obviously the only people who could ever be invested in a potentially queer relationship in a show would be horny straight dudes

      Obviously it would be fudanshi think-about-it

      Edit: According to wiktionary:

      fudanshi (“male fan of yaoi”)

        Some old ass MAL thread says 姫男子(himedanshi) is for a male yuri fan. I have to restrain myself from responding to half of the bad takes I see on MAL, so super skeptical if that's the real deal lol.

          It's being picked up by my 10ten reader addon so I guess it is

          姫男子 ひめだんし (n) (rare) male fan of yuri comics, etc.

          Lady who likes male gay romance = rotten girl

          Dude who likes female gay romance = princess boy

            Himejoshi is the usual term for female fans of yuri, himejoshi is becoming more common (in my western yuri circles).

              I get the impression fujoshi is an exonym, himejoshi is an endonym, and the dan variants are just gender swaps
