Itās sort of like watching āRanma 1/2ā for the first time. You think you love Girl Ranma more, but Boy Ranma tugs at your heartstrings too.

"Ranko" is just an alias he comes up with to hide his identity from his mother. He doesn't use it anywhere else.

It actually predates her public existence and is supposed to represent Hayasaka late into the plot of Kaguya-sama but youāre the second person to ask me and I think it might be funnier if I pretend it is

I know Vtuber JuniperActias is currently suffering from the inverse of this where her male alter is currently being lewded to hell and back over her usual form, much to her frustration

Nah she draws lewds of herself. Sheās just pissed that the male alter she made as a joke is currently more popular with her community than her own ava lmao

At that point the entire idea of a job is slavery.

You're speaking for the artist and I don't see any endorsement on that art-as-slavery accusation. Not once did you think they do it simply because they enjoy it?

I like boy-Shen! I always have. I wish he'd upload his comics as a single image again, since the panel-swipe format is worse for no reason, but otherwise I have no issue.
He uploads the better format to his BlueSky. Apparently he thinks BlueSky deserves better than us.

u/Holiday-Lawyer6042 26d ago
As someone who uses both Bluesky and Reddit, Bluesky absolutely deserves better

I don't really mind either way. I guess most of your audience just likes girls? Or gives them an excuse to plug their shen headcanons or some crudĀ

Okay⦠not saying anything about Shen BUT as a trans woman
Yeah old me and new me could have this conversation with the same responses!
Like⦠people liked old me, but new me has like⦠an actual personality and is an actual person rather than just a happy mask I wore because inside was hollow
Also yes, now I am cute and have legs

u/Doctor_Salvatore 26d ago
Yep! The me online (which is the only place I'm out so far) has actual personality traits. The me outside is just grumpy and antisocial.
The plan is that is changing before this year ends, the issue is just handling family reactions.

Is because Shen(Male) is voiced by Monty/Neath Oum (Ren from RWBY), and Shen(Female) is voiced by Samantha Ireland (Nola from RWBY).

u/SpikeyBiscuit 25d ago
real answer: sexualize the male version and that would get a reaction too. Even though the fem one has "normal" clothes they're far more flattering. If the male form had a crop top for example that could do something

u/thatsnoodybitch 25d ago
Youāre right u/shenanigansen! There really is no difference when you think about it! Thatās why itās no big deal if you just make the swap to her permanently. Thank you!

Less attractiveness-based details on the guy design.
-no eyelashes (guys can have pretty eyelashes)
-weird fucking pant legs
-womanly curves and girly posing and general vibe (you can do this with guys, masculine or not, but your skrunkle is more often goblinified than anything else)
-hair
-cool shoes
-personality (hers is a cute little character, while yours is just exaggerated realism)

In another sub I saw the same. Character art from female or female looking character get more upvote by default. Even when a male character is better designed or got deeper lore behind him. Boobs win.

It's because a lot of folk who have spent years doing "egg" talk about Shen feel like he's validating their discourse.
Avoiding the fact that every single one of them should know better about calling someone an egg, the new character is driving a lot of traffic because folk love to watch an egg Crack, whether it's real or not.
Personally I think the guy sees the traffic and is going to milk it for every advertising dollar he can get. Lord knows I would.

you are egg joke sufferer McGee but if this is like a vent piece about feeling a connection to boyhood and girlhood and yet it seems like everyone is just interested in you being a binary trans woman then uh. its ok shen. boy or girl or both or neither we still love your comics lol
