      Now that just makes me mad that cis men cannot take recreational estrogen just to be prettier.

      Let me be a twink well into my 30s, dammit.

        It is kinda wild how I basically hit 29 and every health issue and force on earth was like, time for twink death.

          As a queer amab person who finally made peace with being queer and trans very late in life (at about 30), I think I skipped the twink window, and I've never felt hot enough to exist in queer circles. I've always felt ugly (sled esteem issues and body dysphoria don't help), but being over 30 and not having perfect skin, a tight body and amazing fits? Might as well be straight and cis.

            Sorry, this made me chuckle. It's sickening that some kind of weird 20somethings-only culture has popped up and made people think this way. Ageism in queer communities is a sick joke. 30's not even old.

              Yeah I realized how silly it looks when I wrote it, but to me it feels late because I spent all my adolescence and 20s just feeling like shit for what I thought was no reason, while trying to fit in into cis and heteronormative society instead of embracing the fact that I'm different and that's OK.

              Doesn't help that I might as well be a dinosaur in most queer spaces around my area, coming back to the original point, where I don't feel like I fit in because everyone is beautiful and young and I'm... Not.

                Smh though that means your local spaces must be practically kid zones, oof.

            I almost exclusively "dated" older women in those twink years. I'm sure you look great. Granted, I stayed a twink so long partially due go obsessively working out due to equal parts endorphins/self-esteem issues.

    Immediately remembered:

    “You see, whether you can draw like this or not, being able to think up this kind of design, it depends on whether or not you can say to yourself, ‘Oh, yeah, girls like this exist in real life.”

    “If you don’t spend time watching real people, you can’t do this, because you’ve never seen it.”

    “Some people spend their lives interested only in themselves.”

    “Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis taken from observing real people, you know.”

    “It’s produced by humans who can’t stand looking at other humans.”

    “And that’s why the industry is full of otaku!”

    Which is the second time it's come up in a week. sigh

    I say this as a lover of video game twinks

    Show

    but as a large adult son large-adult-son I think the idea of having only pretty characters in video games is kinda messed up. There should definitely be some pretty characters but let's not ban ugly people form being in media

    Oh so it's okay for him to draw male hotties like Cloud but in the FF7 Remake he shrinks down Tifa's boobies and this is ok???

    Based. It’s one of the things I like about anime is that they tend to put some effort into male protagonist designs.

    Even Fairy Tail, the quintessential horny teenage boy anime that’s borderline hentai still has plenty of male characters that don’t make you gag upon sight (Yes, I did have a crush on Gray as a teenager how did you know?)

      I've never seen any anime but you can't convince me that you can successfully identify any of the parade of waifus I've been unwillingly exposed to because there's one character model and fifty thousand ways to color her shirt

        I’m by no means praising Fairy Tail (although come to think of it the tail part of the name is sus) but I’ll begrudgingly admit that at least they have one or two fanservicey men. Still bad, but it’s a start.

      God, there's alot of things I hate about Fairy Tail. "Here's a strong female character. Oh, watch her get hit by magic that makes her a submissive bimbo."

      Also an absurd amount of tentacles/ropes/spider webs to restrain barely clothed women.

    He also said he has to watch KH lore videos to remember old plot points. Even he struggles with his story.

      Why even review the videos? Lol

      KH is so incoherent that he can just write whatever. As long as the zippers are there, it will work

      Maybe he shouldn't have written the most incoherent plot ever devised by men. I love KH gameplay though
