>>5460>>5457>>5453God the drama about Drakengard with the way random purity culture is would be actual chaos, the way the original was still censored is disheartening but I suppose it is better than getting fully butchered, sad there's not much modern discussion about it
I remember suffering through drakengard when I was much younger and not understanding any of the themes and ended up reading a walkthrough for it instead, I remember being shocked about Leonard's secret since with the exception of that one scene where he gulps when Seere hugs him there's really nothing to indicate this
>lmao the leonard on fujochan jumpscare He's the pinnacle of toxic yaoi whether he wants to be or not

>>6813Zenigata, imo you can't beat a criminal/detective ship. I think from Part II onward there's a lot of cute moments and I like the idea of both of them struggling with keeping the relationship a secret from their respective parties. That being said I'm always starved for content so I don't mind him with Jigen or Goemon depending on the iteration of the character. The canon for the series is fast and loose and so is the way the characters are depicted. Jigen/Lupin works well when they have an episode 0 type relationship and establish they've been working together for a very long time. Goemon/Lupin only really works when you play into the Part I former antagonistic relationship and have Lupin have to tear through a harsh exterior to get to how Goemon is really feeling.
Are you a fan nonna? What's your Lupin ship?

No.6823
>>6811I feel you. I love sideburns, goatees and/or thick eyebrows for the same reason but they're criminally rare. Mature faces are inherently tied to sexual attraction for me so their presence or absence largely determines whether I get into a character or not.
I would also say that broader mouths are part of it. It's a trait Lupin shares as well. Image your pic but with the classic small "-" mouth and he leaves a whole different impression. Some of these traits help making faces more expressive and expressiveness is another essential part of character design IMO.
No.6824
>>6823I didn't think about that broad mouth point but you're right it is definitely a component of likable character. Not totally cartoon-y but large enough for a toothy grin.

Semes that take special care with the uke's dick. Handys/bjs are just as hot as penetrative sex to me, a seme towering an uke from behind and jerking him off is pure kino. I don't like it when the bottom's dick is ignored unless it's for "wow, you only came from your butt" purposes.
Also, cold megane ukes with lots of gap moe.

>>7137NTA but they’re not in much of the video and a lot of people nowadays like to larp as a fujo without actually being one.
Honestly the song is more male gazey with the catholic Miku in the same way fujoshi characters in anime are usually depicted (not that I care personally )
No.7149
>>7140Fujiyoshi my beloved
I actually agree that the fact that they aren't in the video as much and the focus is mainly Miku allows it to spread more especially to guys who wouldn't normally enjoy anything with a yaoi topic. I disagree with it being male-gaze-y though. The nun motif is a clear call back to "sinful yaoi" which was often seen on sites like FF, actually my favorite part of the song is also a callback to FF with the "lemon" verse.
No.7153
>>7149Yeah I guess it's good they achieved a balance that wouldn't be off-putting to most people (even though I have still seen a bunch of people weirded out by it but I guess that happens with any sexual Vocaloid song). I'm glad Kaito's hot ass is being seen by so many people at least

>>7153Fanfiction.net I'm honestly shocked they're still around and haven't been killed by Ao3, it's a good thing though since they have a ton of works that aren't anywhere else. Like the Prince of Tennis which has 23k works on FF but only 9k on Ao3.
Though since we're in the Shit you Like theead I'll say that I love Ao3s tagging system and it is by far the best fanfic site out there both as a reader and writer.

I love gay panic. I need the pov guy to angst about his new-found homo love. I wish it was still a popular trope but it seems to be kinda dying out. I guess it counts under internalized homophobia, but I feel like it’s not quite the same.
No.7240
>>7239That's the cutesy new definition of gay panic invented by tiktok kiddies who think homophobia is over, not the actual meaning of gay panic.
No.7245
>>7240It is? I always thought it was when the guy is so against being gay, that when he starts thinking gay, he becomes an asshole and sometimes even violent towards his love interest. I’ve come to associate gay panic with quite a few Steve Rogers x Tony Stark fanfics set in the Ultimates Universe. I looked it up and see it’s also a legal defense? Damn maybe I should just call it internalized homophobia instead.
No.7257
>>7245I always associate it with the legal definition so Internalized Homophobia is the tag I prefer. Love it when a character deals with a lot of fear and self hatred due to hating the the fact that he's in love with another man. Paired with historical fiction is the best of course.
No.7264
>>7245>>7257I think the legal defense is absolute bullshit and that as a description of someone panicking that they might be gay it works fine. It's literally two words that mean what they say, and can be used for both fluffy oh no my crush talked to me AND oh fuck am I gay. I wouldn't use it as a tag, but to describe how a character is acting in discussion.
I'm surprised to see someone advising not to use it here, because last I checked the discourse was tumblr kiddies chasing people around telling them they're not allowed to use the words because it's evil and someone literally died. Like fuck your everything is harmful to the gays shit, I'm describing a fictional boy having an internal meltdown at a school desk. If you want it to have no power over real gays then just keep using it for inconsequential stuff.
No.7266
>>7264It's just in poor taste. Queerbaiting is another term that has a similar history but the ship has long sailed on that one. 'Ironic homophobia' is cool with the kiddies now, they're throwing around every slur in the book as a meme, with a lot of genuine homophobes hiding behind this (especially towards fujo ships, we're literally back in the 00s where everyone was happy to shit on us openly)
When I see pushback it's mostly from older people in fandom who are telling them the history of this term, because many have no idea. I'm aware that most people on an imageboard are not going to give a shit about this, but still.
>someone literally diedIt never exactly stopped. 'Gay panic' murder still happens across the world, that's why it's poor taste to turn it into a cutesy fanfic term. Is it really that hard for people to think of something else that doesn't have an unfortunate connotation? Think about how twitter tried its hardest to redefine 'fujoshi' to mean 'straight woman who ~fetishizes~ the gays in harmful ways and calls herself rotten because she's sinning!'. Terms losing their meaning due to ignorance benefits nobody.

I usually prefer another character first when I start a new series but always end up being obsessed with sidekicks and underlings later, I don't know why lol
Maybe because the role feels gay on principle? If a man sticks to another man of a slightly higher position than himself and loyally sides with him, helps him or serves him as his willful assistant and friend the role is gay-coded to begin with.
I also love them because they're usually not arrogant or self-righteous, since they're happy being the right-hand man and/or friend. They're intriguing too IMO because they are introduced as allegedly one-note or shady tertiary characters but then you learn new things about them and realize you misjudged them completely (assuming it's a decent series that gives them a personality). And I usually end up liking the characters more that I initially underestimated. Feels good loving someone more as the series progresses, instead of getting tired or disappointed of them.
Anyway I am a side-kick/servant fanatic.
What a weird preference to have. I wish it was more common, but you sometimes find them among the antagonists or rivaling factions.
No.7369
>>7356I'm the same exact way, I never get into the hero/villain dynamic it's always the bad guy/his bodyguard. Depending on if its a serious show or a cartoony Saturday morning cartoon you can also have a couple of different tones. Like H/C where the main villian is downtrodden because he keeps failing, or in serious works you can have an abusive or self-destructive angle where the bodyguard is being hurt by association with the criminal but chooses to stay because of feelings.
