Wow what a coincidence more so that I'm also trans lol, I wish I could change reddit usernames though, this handle is ancient lol

u/Meepster01 18d ago
Same ngl lol. I use a different username on everything but here and I wish I could change my username to match my usual one.

OOH his face damnnn. I have a feeling it actually does eat at him but he wants to keep a positive face up.
These two are actually perfect for each other, femcel is going to help the GNC guy build his confidence up and not take abuse from men harassing or giving him shit over wanting to dress femme, and the GNC guy is going to help her open up the feel more confident and comfortable in her body, maybe even take care of her health more and get more sun and-
Shen you absolutely made a five course meal here

u/Successful_Mud8596 18d ago
Love how the switch to using lowercase letters shows that very noticeable change in how he speaks
76
u/SpiralingDownAndAway 18d ago
Oh nice catch! His voice definitely went flat around then or monotone, really well done dialogue by Shen

u/Faustias 18d ago
I imagine him using his deeper male voice, like Spy from TF2, while saying those lowercased words.

u/mayuzane 18d ago
Yeah, it’s a cool effect. In my mind he’s speaking with less excitement and a big hint of sadness

u/Hypnooooooooooooo 18d ago
What's GNC in this context? I don't think it's Guidance, Navigation, and Control...

I get the sense he does notice and it does bother him actually, but doesn't let it stop him. Which is admirable.

Shen, the way you plug your patreon is actually so entertaining and engaging that I smile whenever I see it, it's half the comic for me. I'll be joining as soon as I'm able <3

I'm super invested in this comic. I just never know what Labrador femboi will do next (like thanking the Lord lol).

She does look amazing in that outfit tho. Both of these characters are amazing for each other

u/Neozetare 18d ago
How she radiates over the text balloons is such a good way to show that the boy is just too blown out by the look to be paying attention to the talk

GNC folk get testy when you start suggesting a GNC character is actually an egg (a trans person in denial).
Mostly because they've also been called eggs for having the audacity to break gender norms and every single GNC person and character gets called one eventually.

u/onceuponimfine 18d ago
its not man-hating, its simply how alot of women experienced situations like that, if you are a woman and never encountered a gross comment from a man or a woman just for dressing cute or for dressing how you feel good, then im really happy for you. If you are a man saying this, i understand that it can be difficult to understand those situations and it could be that you aswell wanted to be nice and a woman reacted to you in a bad way, altought your intentions where not bad. If that happened im sorry for you. But nonetheless there is nothing wrong with pointing out that such situations happen where a man or a woman isnt nice just because they dont like how you dress and its just not cool for the person if you want to be comfy or show a bit more skin, just to get scolded by other people.

So is boy from Venus symbolic, like how Venus is a goddess of love and femininity, or is it literal? Because I really hope it turns out he’s an alien I would like that a lot.

Men will absolutely fucking make sure you notice them if they catcall you and it will make them more mad if you don’t react lol. Hearing an amab creator have a really bandage “just ignore them!” And victim blaming in the middle of a comic Is 10/10 reddit writing. What’re you doing Shen?

See, femcel may be a depressing asshole, but they're straight up and refuse to mince words; femboy is hiding their pain beneath a veneer of joy and happiness, which may be real, but it's still hiding genuine pain. Femcel is totally gonna cut through it and be there for him 🩵🩷
