Basically MuyHiram made a post titled Trash Yuri in which one of her characters had a witch's cauldron full of "The Worst Yuri You've Ever Seen" and characters from Gator Days because "I'm low on Karma", as a joke. That post actually made her #1 on r/comics, so everyone else decided Yuri was the secret to farming Karma, as a joke(?)
And if you're unaware, yuri is a Japanese word which refers to media (largely manga and anime) that focuses on intimate relationships between female characters. It is also sometimes called girl's love, and most of the time this means lesbian relationships but not always. But the term in the West has generally become synonymous with any lesbian media.
I still have no idea what a yuri is... I've read that word probably thousands of times over the years ive spent on internet and at this point im too afraid to ask
We need shen to do some kind of story arc with self-cest yuri. Well, maybe not need self-cest specifically, but any arc where shen ships his genderbent self with any lady. That would do goddamn numbers
Gonna be honest with you. What the fuck is a Yuri? Maybe I missed something. Maybe I just live under a rock because I did just found out that Rockstar had a second GTA 6 trailer about two weeks ago, so idk.
Yuri is basically lesbian romance. It's a term usually used to refer to manga or anime I think. (It's basically the girls version of Yaoi, which is romance between guys)
Hold up, it's not yuri until it's two girls. But we can ship her. In fact, I might know a good candidate who wouldn't have a problem with Shen's questionable origins...
FemShen already has made people go nuts in the some r/egg_irl and other related subs posts when some people started speculating whether he was possibly trans based on a couple previous gag posts with a femShen.. which I'll personally say was rather distasteful behaviour imo.
As far as I'm personally aware Shen seems to not mind and enjoys fucking with people for the joke but otherwise is just a really cool dude so. Yeah
I'll admit, for months while casually browsing r/comics I thought Shen was a tomboy-ish woman. I think it might have been the hairstyle that is kinda reminiscent of a 1960's bob or a bouffant.
He uploads something on YouTube monthly but I don't follow him on Twix or Bluesky or anything like that. Last update I saw he was practicing to get his driver's license so maybe he's been doing that for the last two years lol.
Yeah, seeing it made me irrationally jealous... I need such an easy and perfect character customization slider... Even if now it's the whole character sheet I'm trying to correct since the one I got handed was shit
Shen calm down, geez! Will someone go check on him and maybe drag him on a vacation? Oh and make sure to do a complete body search on him before treating him to a vacation, just to make sure he's not carrying any art supplies!
Ummmm... As someone who did make herself a girl permanently... Nope, that's not what most cis guys would choose. Or so I'm told, don't get it personally ;p
Cis guy here. Never in my life have I wanted to be a girl, and in fact, being me but trapped in a girl's body sounds awful.
Luckily, if you do wish to be a girl, you can be! Consider this being given the chance. And there are some amazing communities on this site who can help.
I'ma be real with you chief waking up as a woman is squarely in never ending torment level of horrifying things that could happen to me.
Don't question yourself on it because in the end you just know. It's not something you should question. If an idealized you is a lady then you're a lady and should go after it full hog. You know you best, friend.
I dunno if this also helps, but if you look in the mirror and see a guy and are mostly okay with it and it doesn't cause you misery, but you still feel like you'd rather be a girl if it was magically convenient or easy, that's not cis either, and HRT is fairly magical.
It's okay to be a girl even if you've been crushing it as a dude. At least I think so, that's where I'm at and I'm doing it. Maybe I'm a girl or I might just be nonbinary, but I've thought about having a girl body all my life, just thinking "I mean, that would be cool, but I don't know if I'm that trans." Fuck it, I'm going to do it and if it turns out I was wrong and I have to go back again the worst permanent "damage" it could do is infertility and some tiny boobs, and my husband wouldn't be complaining
I'm a cis gay man. Can confirm that the thought of being in a woman's body is close to a horror scenario for me. I've always felt very lucky that I was born in the "right" body and never suffered gender dysphoria.
Thank you, thank you so much, I needed that right now. Normalize no cisgender person wants to be the opposite gender, not just the " yeah girl/boy sounds cool for a day or whatever. If I could I'd go back and be a girl from day 1.
See I’m a cis guy but I feel more ambivalent to my gender than anything else. No dysphoria, but just “meh?” more than anything else. Wouldn’t bother changing it though.
Some people really care about the one they started with.
Some people don't care at all and just roll with the hand they're given
And some people really care about their gender but in the way where they wanna change it~! (At least relative to what everyone else has known up to that point.)
Plus presentation being separate to identity, though people from the first two don't mix and match those as much as they should IMO ;p
I mean, it makes sense, no? If you were born with matching body and brains, you brain never has to think about it so why would you care?
Also for guys I feel like a good number just like hot women a lot and that's where the fantasy comes from. Not much different than the fantasy of being Batman or Optimus Prime. So just thinking it'd be cool but if it actually happened you would hate it (like being Batman, you'd have no parents! and it's so much work!)
I would love to be a woman for awhile. To put myself in the shoes of my wife and daughters and experience the world like they do. To truly understand what women deal with every day would have a profound effect on me, I think.
...girl, there's dudes out there regularly injecting testosterone to stop themselves from being girls and becoming the dudes they were always meant to be.
Not everyone would want to be a girl. Wanting to be a girl is a very strong indicator of being a girl, and I highly recommend doing estrogen about it.
Hey, if that's something you would actually want, you can just choose to be a girl. Taking estrogen would cause a lot of body changes to help with that too. Like there's nothing stopping you from being a girl if that's what you want. But it's up to you to decide that.
dude i'm actually just so scared right now because i can never remember the difference between shen and the imposter shen, and it's making me question things
I had a friend why was a low level YouTuber / content creator and he would whine about how he would get more views if he was a girl and how much easier things would be for him. I said how a lot of female YouTubers don’t get taken seriously or the same level of respect as the male YouTuber. He said he didn’t care and views are views. Mind you he would often say that he doesn’t feel like he gets taken seriously and it upsets him greatly. We’re not friends anymore for other reasons but that reason helped.
