Yaoi 

An outdated japanese term for the Genre BL (Boys Love).
It is mainly used in western Fandom to describe mlm Anime or Manga content.

Another outdated term the western fans use would be Shounen-Ai.
The GL (Girls Love) counterpart would be Yuri.

My favourite genre is Yaoi.

Fujoshi 

A women or girl who enjoys BL (boys love) or creates BL content.
It is a japanese term reclaimed by women, who were called "rotten" or "unmarriable" for liking gay content, which was seen as sinful. It was originally used by homophobic and mysogynistic men who used it to degrade women.
Fudanshi is used for male BL fans and Fujin for Non-Binary BL fans.

Hiyoko is a Fujoshi.
