Word of the Day: Fudanshi

Wednesday's Word of the Day is fudanshi, a rarely seen species who like to hide at con's for fear of the rabid fujoshi, who paddle the fudanshi furiously with yaoi paddles and force them to kiss.

"Men who, like fujoshi, enjoy imagining relationships between characters in fictional works when that relationship is not part of the author's intent may be called fudanshi ("rotten man") or fukei ("rotten older brother"), both of which are puns of similar construction to fujoshi.^[41] Be warned that fudanshi and fukei are not necessarily fans of BL, although the terms are most often used in that sense — and, if a fanboy himself claims to be a fudanshi or fukei, it's almost certainly the case."
