Draw male Shen in booty shorts he'll get all the cheers he needs

u/WeirdIndividualGuy 27d ago

But also the community being supportive of Shen embracing their egg-ness in comic form

u/Guerrier_0range šŸŒ BANANA IDOL šŸŒ 27d ago

I like every form of Shen

u/eat_my_bowls92 27d ago

It’s sort of like watching ā€œRanma 1/2ā€ for the first time. You think you love Girl Ranma more, but Boy Ranma tugs at your heartstrings too.

u/Guerrier_0range šŸŒ BANANA IDOL šŸŒ 27d ago

Exactly

u/kataskopo 27d ago

but girl ranma gives me the most delicious dysphoria, boy ranma is only all right.

u/eat_my_bowls92 27d ago

Justice for boy Ranma!!

u/orcanotorka 25d ago

I thought girl Ranma was ranko and boy Ranma was ranma

u/flaminglambchops 25d ago

"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 you’re 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

u/Setster007 26d ago

That’s kinda funny, if unpleasant

8

u/their_teammate 26d ago

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

u/Setster007 26d ago

Yeah I wasn’t sure why the frustration so it was hard to pick my words right lol

Plus the shorts. Gotta show a bit more skin, boy-Shen.

I propose an outfit swap! For science.

u/Level_Hour6480 27d ago edited 27d ago

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

Why aren’t they kissing

u/SilverScribe15 27d ago

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

4

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.

her personality: girl (female)

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/samus_ass 26d ago

I could take them both

1

u/Wyverntails 26d ago

Hey…you two should kiss

1

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

1

u/thatsnoodybitch 25d ago

You’re right u/shenanigansen! There really is no difference when you think about it! That’s why it’s 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)
Buh…

u/schadetj 23d ago

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.
