Every Friend Group Got The Fujoshi

About

Every Friend Group Got The Fujoshi, also known as Every Family Got The Fujoshi or Every Friend Group Got The X, refers to an exploitable meme and phrasal template that categorizes four characters, generally from the same piece of pop culture, into "Fujoshi," "Transgender Allegory," "Autistic Individual" and "Struggler." The format is generally completed with characters from anime but has been done with original characters and characters from Western live-action dramas as well.
