Abstract

Fujoshi is a term for female fans of the boys love genre, containing stories about homosexual relationships. Boys Love genre is closely linked to gender issues stemming from dissatisfaction with traditional gender roles and societal expectations. In traditional gender roles, men are seen as aggressive and competitive, while women are expected to be gentler and caring about their homes and families. Fujoshi opposes this gender role as it is seen to benefit only the male gender. This study was conducted with the aim of describing fujoshi’s perception of gender roles. This phenomenological design research with a method of in-depth interview and selection of subjects was carried out by a targeted sampling technique with the criterion that women have been fujoshi for at least 5 years, from 19 to 30 years, and that the woman is not fujoshi. This study analyzed whether there is a difference in perception between fujoshi and nonfujoshi. The results showed that fujoshi’s perception of gender roles in society are still traditional and rigid, making it difficult for them to express themselves. Meanwhile, for non-fujoshi, they view gender roles in today’s society as a positive thing, while thoughts like fujoshi create gender role problems.
