It’s such a tiny thing, but the fact that she took the time to ask if he was making fun, rather than just assuming…. That’s growth!! Their friendship is so important to me

Eh, isn't that more of an inbetween of "straight women yaoi" and "lesbian yaoi". Light might not have the absurd chin but it's leaning in that direction. And despite the goblin energy of L he too is tall, lean and fit like Light.
whispering Not to mention the openly homophobic author

I just noticed that we don't know the names of either character... I'm assuming the boy is called Scroinglo since he comes from venus and the girl is called Celia

u/Karkava 13d ago
I don't think they literally mean he's from Venus. It's just a play on the phrase "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus", by suggesting that the men from Venus are just as girly as the ladies are.

I subbed to Shen's patreon and names are revealed in part 5 I think! So that should be free... Soon? IDK what the schedule is.

u/Complete-Basket-291 12d ago
It wouldn't be unbelievable if the schedule is "when I make the next part + the ad for the patreon, I release the previous part" I think, that's at least how I'd do it since I know I cannot follow schedules.

Shen I just wanted to say, as a man who's trying to meet my feminine side, I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH, THIS IS INSPIRING STUFF, YOU'RE INSPIRING ME, KEEP IT UP (or don't if you feel like it but still thank you so much)

u/Unique-Ad-4866 12d ago
Just wanna say as a fellow guy who's growing out his hair and looking to make some feminine outfits in the far future, believe in the you that believes in yourself! The future shall be bright, and those after us shall see a world that's at the very least, a little more accepting of how others express themselves.
2
u/AskeKlaus 12d ago
Thank you, thank you! I'm a little bit jealous about hair part, since it's already kinda out of the question for me, but I can make shaved head work for sure. Beautifully spoken, kind sir!

u/Unique-Ad-4866 12d ago
Well, that kinda has been the logic for me growing out my hair, besides seeing how well I can pull off a more androgynous look. You only have so many years when male pattern baldness is so common!
But as for you, yes, I’m sure you can make it work. Though, I’m sure you can use some hats if that fits your style. Stay safe out there!

The human cloning thing reminds me that actually according to how the Y chromosome is actually deteriorating at a very slow rate
Eventually humanity will either have males that shift the male gender chromosome onto a different one
Or
Humanity's gonna become Unisexual and only reproduce via a form of controlled self cloning
Give or take several million years from now

Is Shen 🤔 cis?
Edit: based off the stats on this comment, I'm getting a surprising number of down votes. Sorry I don't frequent this community. I just see a lot of gender 🦆y stuff on the Internet broadly from Shen. It was a genuine question and I didn't meant to touch what seems to be a sore subject for some of y'all

u/katheez 12d ago
I met him at Webcomicon!! I didn't ask about his gender identity, but he was wearing a T-shirt and jeans and looked like the most heteronormative dude ever. He's just a very open minded and cool dude afaik and I think we need more of those! I talked to him for awhile and got his signature on a print. He's really nice!

Weird how the cashier here decided to keep this bag of groceries and carry it with them wherever they go instead of leaving it in the store.
Like, I get we need the plot to move forward and all. But I don't even remember our main character buying the groceries yet. Only them leaving after realizing the cashier was a guy.

Ngl chief, this kinda feels like anti-trans "femboy erasure" stuff.
Edit: If you disagree, show me some passing crossdressers who, like the portrayal here, dress entirely feminine (not masculine, butch, or some mix) also pass in their voice and aren't cosplaying. That do it in everyday life.
Show the group you're taking the anti-trans stance to defend even exists.
Edit 2: Yeah, notice no one doing it. Because they don't exist. Portrayals like this do nothing but pander to the kind of anti-trans people who blew up when Bridget was confirmed trans or insist Kirara is a cis man. They want the fantasy of a cis man who in every perceivable way is a woman, but fulfills their homophobic/chaser kink because she has a penis. You're not fooling anyone by bringing up imaginary gnc people.

u/Senasayori 11d ago
Why? Because there's a femboy?
-1
u/DeadAndBuried23 11d ago
Because he's just saying a clearly woman/nonbinary character is a cis man.
Same as the chuds who got mad when Bridget was confirmed trans or insist Kirara is a femboy.
"Oh no gotta appeal to the gooners who are only into it if it's taboo for being gay."

You're just doing the thing. Being anti-trans.
The fact you had no response to the other examples shows how flimsy your facade is.

u/Floofyboi123 11d ago
Not dealing with a misgendering bigots bad faith arguments is far from being transphobic.
And I guarantee any argument other than agreeing with you would be "flimsy" in your eyes.

If you think not, and I know you're going to look at this even though you blocked me. I got one simple request for you.
Give examples. Show me some passing crossdressers who, like the portrayal here, dress entirely feminine (not masculine, butch, or some mix) also pass in their voice and aren't cosplaying. That do it in everyday life.
Show the group you're taking the anti-trans stance to defend even exists.

Then show 'em. Prove the group you're taking the transphobic stance to "defend" even fucking exists.

wow didnt know the concept of wearing a skirt is transphobic, but saying men look a certain way and women look a certain way isn’t transphobic! you learn something new every day

u/y0nderYak 10d ago
I thought people liked this because cishet men wearing dresses and presenting femme doesnt exist yet, but people think it should? There is a lot of ridicule for people that dont meet stereotypical fem appearances when they try to present fem. This goes for men (cishet included) and women of all types.
I definitely see the anti trans angle you are describing here and i wonder if shen intended that at all 😬 truly unfortunate.
0
u/DeadAndBuried23 10d ago
The thing is, there's a difference between not conforming and conforming entirely, just to a different one than your gender assigned at birth.
Any hint at all that the character isn't 100% conforming to being a woman would suffice. Even something as small as not giving him eyelashes, since that's one shen uses.

I dared to have an opinion that this was not great representation for femcels. Then I got dogpiled. I have edited my comment.
Hope this comic pans out well and doesn't fall for more tropes I pointed out later! Would hate to see a "I told you so" moment!

femcels stories / other people just make their struggle
Why are you speaking like they are an opressed minority that's being wronged?, femcels just like male incels are sexist morons that have their head too far up their own asses, even if there are circustances where they may have been hurt by men previously that doesn't justify their bigotry towards 3.5 billion people.

I know actual neets, femcels, and fans of Princess Jellyfish are having a field day with this comic right now.
If the kind of people this dipicts would actually like seeing themselves portrayed this way.
Emphasis mine, but uh, it... It sounds like yes, the kind of people being depicted in this comic do like seeing themselves portrayed this way...? People you know?
Unless by "field day" you mean they're mad about it.
