Oh, absolutely! The fujoshi-as-cis-straight-abled-white-adult-woman is a strawman that covers up the complicated reality where fandom is made up mostly of marginalized folx just trying to have fun in a sandbox.
Lots of people (especially young people) don’t always have the best vocabulary for expressing their interests. That can be changed— and it has! The way we talk about slash/bl/mm media has shifted drastically, but sometimes young queer folx make in-jokes that are misread by people who presume malice rather than ignorance.
