EDIT: Fujoshi doesn't just mean "girl who likes BL"; directly translated, it's "rotten girl". Some people argue they've reclaimed the term, but a lot of people still use "fujoshi" as a justification to fetishize gay guys and treat them as a sexual fantasy rather than human beings.
As a BL author, I've had to endure years of harassment and literal death threats from self-proclaimed fujoshi for saying gay men shouldn't be sexualized, for "not drawing enough porn", for "daring to put the NSFW pages behind a paywall", or for stating basic truths like "rape shouldn't be romanticized".
If you call yourself a fujoshi and you're a decent human being, good on you. But after what I've experienced, I will never again interact with anyone who uses that moniker. Of course you can read BL regardless of gender or sexuality, just please don't use the genre (and especially my comics) as an excuse to dehumanize others.

Hiro is a super popular guy. Takashi couldn't care less. A reluctant romance between the obnoxious hero and his classmate. Bad comedy ahoy. Satire/Parody.
