Abstract

In recent years, the consumption of boys’ love content in Indonesia has increased rapidly. Fujoshi is a Japanese term that refers to women who have an interest in manga, films, dramas, or slash fiction that have homoerotic narratives with the theme of love relationships between men, and boys’ love (BL) is a romantic relationship between men packaged in the form of manga or other media. Based on previous studies, there are correlations between perspectives on gender roles and the portrayal of characters in BL content. This study aims to explore feminist perceptions among fujoshi women on continuous consumption of BL media with qualitative methods based on their sense of “moe”. “Moe” is an expression of adoration to BL characters. There were ten informants identified as aca-fans who participated in the study. The finding reveals a shift in fujoshi women’s perceptions regarding the gender roles depicted in BL content. These evolving views on gender roles are relevant to the feminine culture, which refers to the rejection of conservative gender roles in BL content.
