Cross dressing doesn’t erase your gender? A man can cross dress as a woman and still be a man.
I know, obviously. I'm just not very enthusiastic about this being fetishized in manga and such.
Also, in reality, when men crossdress, they still look like men. (most of the time)
In mangas...
It’s a manga, it’s clearly not realistic. But yeah I get what you’re saying.
I feel like that's just you not vibing with it-
Have you heard of drag? A good majority of drag queens are gay. If it had to show up anywhere then it would be in gay media-
I think so too.
Now that I think about it, it may be because of these plots of "some average guy who thinks he's found himself a cute girl then gets tricked and assaulted over and over again." (I took it from some other comment)
I don't think people in real life would like to be portrayed in this predatory way. When it is romanticized, it feels even more wrong.
So after doing some retrospecting, I guess because these stories always involve some degree of deceit or even rape that I'm not very comfortable with mangas depicting crossdressing tops now. ^^
In a couple chapters they have sex without the crossdressing more often and the bottom also crossdresses too. Top still is fem though so if you don't care for pretty boys then I say drop it
why r u even reading this if u don't like it? imao
You def have a point here tho in the end. This kinda depiction is a cliche by now and you're valid for feeling uncomfortable with it. You CAN look at it as more of a power-fantasy, where the crossdresser "the femine gay" dominates the asshole of an asshole (insert laugh track here), but looking beyond that it's totally become a more negative stereotype too.
i will say though a good majority of people that request drag performers for favors are straight men, so if the top is femme throughout it does kinda defeat the purpose still lol
I feel like having a crossdressing top/bottom defeats the purpose of bl. x)
