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

    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
