imo the best way to enjoy anime fandoms is to enjoy the fanart. discussion and the fanfic is rarely worthwhile.

also doesn't help that yoi is the fujoshi flavor of the month as those rarely turn out well. i've personally had a lot more luck with smaller anime fandoms.

tbh i can't think of a single good one in recent memory (osomatsu-san, free!, attack on titan)

Dude, YOI is one of the best-selling anime of 2016, and it's still holding strong this year too. Whether or not you think it's any good is one thing, but on an objective level, this anime is far from a flash in the pan. Plus there's all the stuff about real-life skaters who presumably aren't fujoshi or even anime fans at all loving it too. It's not just for fangirls, and it's not just a brief fling.

As for the quality of the fandom, eh, depends where you look. Every big fandom has its problems. Personally, I've read a lot of great fic and met a lot of perfectly nice people. I've never had a better reception for my own fic, either. Small fandoms have their appeal, but sometimes it's encouraging to get real response to your work, right?

DA

the AYRT doesn't seem to be commenting on the quality of the work itself, only that the fandoms of the [fujoshi flavor of the month] are more awful than the fandoms of less popular series.

What in the world does "fujoshi flavor of the month" even mean? is that some term you just coined? lmao this show has been popular since like last September, and continues to dominate sales charts. Are you saying it's a popular yaoi series? like oookay but what's with the implication that it's some brief fad or something lol
