Onii-chan Is Done For! Official Anthology Comic - Vol. 5 Ch. 72 - Mahiro and a Faint Glimmer of Hope

[avanax]

Mahiro definitely is the manliest trap there is

First page and we are introduced to the idea of some kind of New Type piss sense

I really wish I could get people to mass adopt "femboi" over "trap".

"Trap" elicits some rather unfortunate history in the LGBT community ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_panic_defense )

But "femboi" is not only totally fine but it's a lot more fun to say.

It's really not. It's embarrassing, awkward, ill-defined, and on a whole just worse than "crossdresser".

If using a cute word is embarrassing to you and is less so than jokingly invoking a classic hate crime defense, I think that says more about you than anyone else.

You are doing just a stellar job of advocating for the word "trap" to be completely shelved. Linking a Wikipedia article that doesn't actually use the word, suggesting a "smol bean uwu" alternative with a vaguer meaning, and then doubling down and calling it invoking a hate crime defense; they're going to build statues of you, you know?

I, personally, was surprised that the word "trap" was used here. It might be closer to the word that the character used, but I still would have expected "crossdresser" or "male crossdresser". Well-defined, well-known, inoffensive terms. When I want people to move away from a term I find offensive, those are the things I look for in an alternative. You know, because it's more important to me that they avoid the offending term than pick up one I find appealing.

Your seeming trouble comprehending my source doesn't make my point invalid. Read further, specifically the "trans panic defense" and... well, has public education failed so badly that people can't draw a parallel between that and "trap" ? Or has attention spans gotten so bad that people won't even read that far to begin with. Do I need to skywrite it for you why "trap" is an upsetting term to the LGBT community in that light?

Paired with a very nice, flowery paragraph of "listen here disenfranchised person, do things a specific way or don't trouble your betters". That's some Victorian era nostalgia right there. Go ahead and use "male crossdresser". That's just fine as a term. But I'm offering a term ("femboi") that's as cute and punchy as "trap".
Because the majority of people who use "trap" aren't doing it a hateful way, but cutely. That clearly doesn't apply to you, one who doesn't want to be cringe or cute. But if you want to be cute and not inadvertently evoke cultural memory of a hate crime defense, I've offered a valid alternative. I've done my job beautifully whether or not you agree.

Hot take, people hung up on being allowed to still say "tr*p" are just as weird as those who really want to say the N-word, there I said it.

 

[Vxuna]

Thx for the piss and the chapter

 

[AncientWatcher]

Well, at least Mahiro didn't piss himself.

 

[Zblurth]

The whole missing thing is starting to get very very old, like if it is your fetishe whatever but as a joke my god I tough we left that thing before grade school can we stop?

 

[AstolfoXY]

Trans thinking they're important enough to make people shelve trap. Traps made this genre before you existed, it was the whole appeal. This is why gatekeeping is seen in a progressively more positive light nowadays.
