She's not a Fujoshi the same way a lot of the Otaku on this site will swear up and down that they aren't otaku.

If she said she is not into BL then she is not a fujoshi. Fujoshi is not the female equivalent of Otaku.

Maybe not by the original term, but more and more these days people are just using the term "Fujoshi" to mean female otaku. Its how I use it when I use the term, and quite a few others also use it that way here.

But that's incorrect, you can say fujoshi is a subset of female Otaku but it does mean something specific.

It is a smart way of ensuring that those fans, along with everyone else at the event, are not harmed. Is it really worth the risk?

To sum this all up, Fujimaki was involved in an incident which led to the loss of two people you value, and in revenge for that, the four triggers, ‘Toyama’, ‘Sophia’, ‘Basketball’, and ‘Doujinshi popularity’ led you to stage all this?

Thank you for the concise summary. Please spread it on Twitter as well.

If Fujiyama wasn’t a graduate of Toyama, if he hadn’t gone to Sophia, if his manga wasn’t about basketball, if the series wasn’t such a hit with the fujoshi. If one of these factors were missing, I would have committed suicide quietly and left it at that.
If Fujimaki had been born somewhere else, and attended some other school, I wouldn’t have cared.
If Fujimaki’s manga was about some other sport, or of another genre, I wouldn’t have cared.

If Kuroko no Basket was more popular among the male readership, if it sold as well as One Piece, or was as popular internationally as Naruto, I wouldn't have cared.

Huh...
Can't believe this topic came up again. Well, great to see people actually discuss it.

Naturally, the lives of others predominates any form of entertainment. But I honestly do feel terrible for those who had worked hard on their doujins and had to pay for their booths only to be shut down. Safety comes before profit. But...

After reading the Wordpress document that catbert posted which comprised of 2ch posts, this situation is becoming more eerie. Not only does this person has a "basketball fetish" but this individual has a clear disdain for the BL fandom.

This person has close connections with Toyama High School and Sophia University (as well as the manga creator Fujimaki) but why the fujoshi? What have they done to him/her to make him/her so bitter to attack the doujin circles aimed specifically toward them?

Banning these artists and canceling event is everything this werido wanted, which is why I can't help but be irritated.

This is the most idiotic thing I have ever heard. Can you imagine the outrage if Comic Con did something like this?

They sell doujinshi at Comic Con?

I kid, but Comic Con is only a fraction of the size of Comiket. Less of a security risk.

I want Fujimaki to apologize. Fujimaki knows how to contact me, if he wants to. I’ve not moved, nor changed my number.

Regarding the gender of the poster, In the thread, he uses the first-person pronoun 俺 (Ore), and for 自分は二次では絶対に抜かないと決めている (which I translated as My personal rule is to not fap to doujinshi.), where he used ‘nuku’　抜く, which is a common reference to male masturbation.

Who cares about labels? Like what you like, and if you want to call yourself a fujoshi/fudanshi, then do so. If you want to call yourself an otaku, do that too. As long as you don't infringe upon what others like, I see no problem with this. Arguing over the validity of a particular name is pointless.
