fag hag? It's weeb term but fujoshi?

on urbandictionary it says:

lesbro 1. A man who has more friendships with lesbians than other women or men. ant. fag hag 2. A man who befriends lesbians with the intent to seduce them.

I like how the men have an ok sounding descriptor while women get called hags /s

To get a decent answer, you have to explain exactly what you mean by "fetishizing."

They have terms in Japanese:

Fujoshi (腐女子): women who are 'fans' of male relationships, whether that be romantic or sexual.

Fudanshi(腐男子): men who are 'fans' of male relationships, whether that be romantic or sexual.

The Kanji 腐 stands for "rotten" or "decay". So technically they are saying "rotten woman" or "rotten man".

Originally, I thought fudanshis were males who like female relationships but I got it wrong in an old comment I made long ago.

Apparently, it goes as:

Hime-joshi(姫女子): women who are "fans" of female relationships, whether romantic or sexual.

Hime-danshi(姫男子): men who are "fans" of male relationships, whether romantic or sexual.

Hime means "princess"...so "princess men/women".

Edit: I put "fans" in quotation marks because they are usually people who are more than just fans, they're OBSESSED.
