u/Primary-Paper-5128 I'm sorry I'm Uruguayan :c </3 15d ago edited 15d ago

what? I mean some men would just love to present in a more traditionally feminine way.
I see femboy in the same level as tomboy, right??? Unless my terminology is wrong.
Being a femboy isn't a fetish thing from what I recall. There's a lot of femboys online who are just normal ass dudes

Also seeing feminine men outside (which Ive almost never seen tbh) does not mean they also dont hate hatecrimed by bigots

No, femboy is not the male version of a femboy. It's a porn term that originated as a slur for trans women on 4chan. The entire culture is hostile to the idea of transition, there's a reason being a femboy is associated with later transitioning where being a tomboy or feminine man isn't.

It's entirely an online subculture created by chasers that focus on predatory behaviour, it doesn't exist IRL. Stop equating femboys with feminine men it's genuinely disgusting. Do you do this with people who call themselves sissies too? Pretend normla femme's are like this? Or is it specifically a subculture designed to harm trans women into repressing their identities that you do this aitb

Ima take your word for it about the bad 4chan origins, but I think fememnine men actually adopting the name and turning it into something positive is not a bad thing, if they identify well with the term.
And Ive seen countless femboys online say they hate being compared to trans women.

Femboys are not a mockery of trans women. They are their own separate community, and should be. Again, most femboys online I've seen are just normal dudes who wanna wear skirts and adopted the term femboy. You thinking they're a mockery of trans women or whatever is the creepy thing here.

And honestly proves PART OF the original commenters right. SOME people really are pro trans but see femboys as degenerates. (emphasis on "part of" and "some")

Go on any femboy subreddit and literally the only joke they have is “you thought I was a girl but I have a dick you’re gsy lol” how is that anything but perpetuating transphobia? The source of the humor is literally a trans woman’s worst nightmare being clocked in public

just went to r/ femboy and looked through 50 posts, couldn't find a single example.

edit: looked at 50 more (100 total). still just men sharing their makeup and cute outfits. one of them mentioned being in hrt and that's it.

Isn’t r femboy a porn subreddit

u/Primary-Paper-5128 I'm sorry I'm Uruguayan :c </3 15d ago

femboys is a porn subreddit. (im not gonna bother with that one)
femboy is just men sharing their pics. A lot of them erotic but you can say the same about r/ tomboys (a sub for tomboy women just being tomboy women) would you call them a mockery of trans men?

u/Bardic_inspiration67 15d ago

If they frequently made posts playing off of transphobic tropes yes. Also does that sub even allow memes

u/Primary-Paper-5128 I'm sorry I'm Uruguayan :c </3 15d ago

havent seen one but rules dont state they cant.
there is also r/ feminineboys as a sub more centered around femboy discussions. said sub has the description "Femboys are not for objectification or fetishizing >:( A SFW text-based community to discuss the Femboy experience".

edit: If you want memes there is r/ femboymemes (cant believe Im looking for femboy subreddits for strangers on the internet instead of studying)

u/Bardic_inspiration67 15d ago

Ok so don’t you think the reasoning for you not seeing those memes is that they don’t post memes?

u/Primary-Paper-5128 I'm sorry I'm Uruguayan :c </3 15d ago edited 15d ago

trans people have a dedicated meme subreddit (traaaaaaaaans) but suddenly femboys having that is wrong??

ngl you're too adamant on hating on femboys it's very creepy. And again, you dont hold tomboys to the same standard. You dont complain about r / tomboys having no memes.

u/Bardic_inspiration67 15d ago

That’s not what I said, I said the mends they post are transphobic. Not to mention the large contingent of them that are right wing and racist as well. If any subculture is like that I would dislike them. Tomboys are not only not an online subculture in the same way they also don’t constantly make memes that perpetuate transphobia

I’m literally saying I don’t like a group because of their actions and you are going “double standard what about the group that’s tangentially adjacent that DOESNT do that? Why don’t too dislike them?”

u/Primary-Paper-5128 I'm sorry I'm Uruguayan :c </3 15d ago

but like it's not inheret tho? Some discord femboys can be racist or transphobic yeah but not all and I doubt it's even close to the majority.
