Seconding that. Also twink carries the specific connotation that the subject is gay, which isn't necessarily the case.

It's just a fairly plainly descriptive word.

Femboy is more specific to an aesthetic, there are plenty of masc twinks. Generally it all comes down to self description, if you wanna be a femboy you're already most of the way there :eng101: I have it on good authority that you'll want to invest in an expensive razor, the cheap ones are poo poo

That's at least partially into some sort of fetish-adjacent territory, where her being Jewish is part of the thrill. Pro-femboy conservatives could just be gay conservatives dudes into feminine dudes, no weirdness required. I suppose femboys do allow them to clearly cast themselves as "the man" in a(n imagined) relationship, which probably does appeal to some.

Femboy has been used as a dismissive moniker for Trans women since as long as it has been a term so too late?

I always feel compelled to be informative about this stuff because I'm a bi dude marrying a feminine dude, so I become a target for every bad faith argument you can think of. :smith: "bisexuals are transphobic" is the most common one but the most galaxy brain poo poo I had was someone accusing my fiance of "trans blackface" for being a cis man and sounding like a woman. Incidentally nobody ever says this stuff in person and none of my numerous trans friends have ever said anything similar :thunk:

Well, social media is kind of an echo chamber, so that's not surprising. They're definitely out there though. Basically just regular Pepe-spewing 4chan bigots but they look like the image posted above irl. They also are the people frequently referred to as "tr*ps" by 4channers.

I very much don't have that experience but now I know a bit more. But on the other hand I am now cursed with more knowledge of the poo poo anyone who dares to not be heterosexual go through.

See, sadly, now I have a better idea of what femboys are thanks to years of reading comments on youtube videos and sometimes twitch chats.

There is this bizarre and terrible intersection of people who are super into the kinky queer femboy subgroup but are militantly transphobic. It's like that demographic of people on twitter with anime avatars who are all alt-right, where it probably started as a grouping of "ironic" interests on places like 4chan that just mutated.

This feels on topic for this thread.

I thinking more along the lines of Red Alert 3, where they started getting really wacky, with attack dolphins, war bears, psyhcih Jpanese schoolgirl commandos, that sort of thing. I think Red Alert 2 had some goofy stuff like that in it as well.

Yeah, I never really got the criticism that RA3 was somehow cheesier than RA2, when the latter was the one where Soviet cosmonauts attacked a psychic's moon base, shooting down flying saucers with laser guns. And the mission before that had you capture a rocket on Easter Island, while trying to avoid laser Moai heads. Then at the end of the Soviet campaign (can't remember the Allies' ending, because they're boring :colbert:), said wannabe-would conqueror psychic tries to use a time machine to undo your victory, but thankfully your catsuited girlfriend sabotaged it, ensuring he'd get eaten by a T-Rex. And that's somehow less wacky than giant mecha?

I mean yeah, RA3 was more upfront with the wackiness, but it was a little shallow compared to how nutso RA2 could get.

They're about the same in wackyness. It's just that in RA2 it's mostly stuck to being units way down the tech tree while the earlier game stuff is mostly 'normal', but in RA3 balances it out throughout the tech tree with you having war bears and laser samurai as your basic infantry right out of the gate.

The writers clearly didn't know what to do after having killed off the main character, and trying to hang the story on their stupid rear end new characters forced them to turn the wackiness up to 11.

Yeah, that sounds about right, the anime flavor is literally the only thing that stands out compared to RA2. If only Einstein would travel forward in time to prevent RA2 from being created in the first place.
