I feel like looking at this screenshot has put me on a list. This looks like something a troon would play saying it helped him live a girl childhood.

I'm catching up on the thread as I was in the cellular dead zone caused by Helene.Even with the face hidden, you can tell she's a woman. Near 30s, whining about mommy wanting her to find a home and about how her free VIP tickets to her fav band sucks cause she has to go with her meanie transphobe sister. Writes "ace" fanfic, whatever that means.
She didn't mention being trans at all less than a year ago and now it's all she pisses and moans about.
People who want "ladyboys" are the same kind of freaks who'ddefend and normalise pederasty.
I’m sorry…WHAT?! Okay genuine question, is this because almost all yaoi is written by women and they think that gay male asses do the equivalent to a vagina?
So it's Dave. Pooners were skinwalking Dave and headcanoning him as trans even before they infected every fandom.I was thinking, after a few failed generic names, that I maybe wanted a name from the webcomic I liked because it had helped me meet a lot of amazing ppl and make friends despite having moved to a new town junior year and going in without knowing anyone.
So I a name from the comic and it worked beautifully. And it’s common enough that no one will ever know heheh
Probably fanfiction about being asexual. But non-shipping fanfic already exists, it's called general fic.Even with the face hidden, you can tell she's a woman.

TMZ reported on 23 August that a person under the name of Jefferson Bates, from Washington, filed to trademark Lebron’s phrase, “very demure, very mindful”.
According to court documents obtained by the outlet, the trademark is intended for use in marketing, advertising, and promotion.
In a since-deleted TikTok video which saw the star crying, Lebron said that the situation was “really f***ing me up”, adding that she “invested so much money and time into this”.
The makeup mogul said in the 24 August clip: “I feel like I did it wrong, I feel like I didn’t try hard enough, and I wanted this to do so much for my family and provide for my transition, and I just feel like I dropped the ball.
“I feel like I f***ed up, and someone else has it now,” she said of the trademark. “And I don’t even know what I could have done better because I didn’t have the resources.”
He's been obsessed with getting famous for years:After years of posting content on social media, Jools shared a TikTok video on “how to be demure at work” on Aug. 5, and the trend took off in a way she never could have predicted.
The creator exclusively tells PEOPLE that she first decided to film the now-viral TikTok simply because she “liked [her] makeup that day.”
“I thought I looked particularly like a Bratz doll,” she says. “I saw a video saying how Barbie started very modest and demure and how her biggest competition Bratz was far from it. So I thought it was funny to say I was demure with my black winged eyeliner, giant lashes, blonde hair down to my thighs and acrylic nails.”
The buzzword immediately captured people's interest, as many said goodbye to Brat summer by ushering in demure fall.
"It feels insane to know that anyone would even give demure an entire season," Jools says. "I was okay with demure Labor Day weekend or something but this feels amazing and iconic. When something like this happens you’re supposed to shy away from appreciating your own impact but I literally love it."
But what exactly does it mean to be “demure” and “cutesy"? Jools says that for her, it’s “really a personality trait.”
“I’m not messy or mean or jealous, I’m cutesy,” she explains. “I’m not crazy and out there and wild, I’m very demure; I’m very reserved and laid back. I’m mindful. I’m cognizant of how I treat others and how I make people feel and how I am perceived by others.”
The specific mention of the Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light fiasco and the suspicious amount of hype around this guy makes me think that marketing executives are still scrounging for a marketable tranny:She always knew that she could, and probably should, be famous. As a teenager, she applied to audition on reality-television shows, like MTV’s Room Raiders and The World’s Strictest Parents. She started posting on YouTube in 2013, before moving over to Instagram and TikTok. For the most part, she posted makeup tutorials and videos involving her impressively large collection of Bratz and American Girl dolls. (She claims Bratz once hired and never paid her to make content; Bratz did, however, recently post a demure caption.) Remember the Dunkin’ Donuts bagel oozing with cream cheese, a.k.a. “begussy”? That was Lebron in 2022. She tells me she’s been using the word demure on TikTok for a while; for whatever reason, it just now caught on. “Sometimes I get a word fixation,” she tells me, adding that she was inspired by an interview Venus Extravaganza gives in Paris Is Burning.
In 2023, however — notably, the year of the anti-trans Bud Light influencer backlash — she says she began struggling with the “monetization” of her social-media presence and losing followers. This April, she was forced to get “a regular job.” Then this hit.
Now she wants to break into more “traditional media,” adding that she imagines she could be “a Laverne Cox vibe for the Latino community.” In the meantime, she’s currently in the middle of a trademarking battle after a man in Washington State trademarked “very demure, very mindful” before she thought to. She has filed her own claim to the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office and recently told her followers what she told me: “We’ve got it handled. Now we’re gonna leave it at that.”
Last month, Lebron went viral on TikTok for a clip in which she describes her style being "very demure, very mindful." The video has been viewed over 50 million times and has spurred a trend that has included involvement from the White House as well as others like Netflix, Ssense, Zillow, Marc Jacobs and Lyft. It has also led to a series of deals for Lebron, who has taken a trip with Sephora amongst others.
Many brands have described themselves or their products as some variation of “demure,” “mindful” or “cutesy” over the past week, whether in marketing email subject lines, the comments sections of TikTok videos or social media posts following beauty creator Jools Lebron’s viral TikTok on “how to be demure and modest and respectful at the workplace.”
As of this writing, Lebron’s video has amassed 43 million views and more than 4.2 million likes, and has generated a 53% engagement rate—roughly 50 times the average industry benchmark of 1.37%—per Sprout Social data. And she’s racked up tens of millions of additional views and thousands of new followers since that initial video thrust her into the internet spotlight, with her videos now each drawing an average of 1 million views and an engagement rate of over 10%, according to data from influencer marketing platform Captiv8.
Now, major brands including Verizon, Netflix, Zillow and Lyft are rushing to capitalize on Lebron’s soaring online fame and taking their “demurity” a step further through collaborations with “Miss Demure” herself. Smaller brands such as Patrick Ta Beauty and GT’s Living Foods have also partnered with Lebron, though they’ve opted for influencer events and gifted products over more formal paid partnerships.
“As part of our recent brand refresh, creator marketing is a central part of our marketing strategy,” Berland continued. Verizon teamed up with influencer agency Poster Child, a shop within the Brownstein Group’s agency network, to broker the partnership with Lebron, marking “the first of many collaborations for Verizon and Poster Child,” she said.
“Collabing with Verizon was an amazing experience—very classy, very demure,” Lebron said in an emailed statement. “My first sponsored demure! … It was extremely mindful of Verizon to help the diva out.”
The brand’s collaboration with Lebron was an in-house effort, said Anya Schulman, social media manager, culture at Lyft, in an email. She and her team first reached out to Lebron on Aug. 6, one day after Lebron posted her now-viral TikTok, “and our collab came together quickly over the next week,” Schulman said. Lyft’s video with Lebron currently has 641,000 views and just under 35,000 likes, making it “one of our top three most-engaged organic posts of all time,” Schulman said.
“Allowing creators to own the content in their own unique style helps us move quickly––our motto is ‘work with talented people and get out of their way,’” she added. Lyft was especially eager to work with Lebron, who is transgender, as part of the brand’s broader efforts to “uplift and support” queer and transgender creators, as demonstrated by previous partnerships such as its “Lucky Lyft” YouTube series with Bob the Drag Queen.
Zillow, like Verizon, pulled together a collaboration with Lebron in just a few days, said Ben Levine, Zillow’s senior director of social & channel marketing. The real estate platform worked with social media and talent agency Viral Nation to contact Lebron’s manager on Aug. 15, and Lebron posted the resulting sponsored video of her strolling through a Los Angeles neighborhood and determining which houses she encountered were “demure” or “cutesy” on both Instagram and TikTok on Wednesday.
Everything about this guy seems astroturfed as hell.Netflix enlisted Lebron for a sponsored video to promote the launch of a “Very Demure, Very Mindful” collection of TV shows and movies on the platform curated by Lebron. The same day the partnership went live, Netflix changed its TikTok bio to highlight the collaboration, writing, “See how I made a row curated by @Jools Lebron? Very demure. Very mindful.”
I learned a new fact in every single sentence of this post and I hated each oneI'm sure some do believe that, but the poster is probably talking about a genre of fanfiction called Omegaverse where... you know, honestly I don't want to go into it, there is a lot I wish I could unlearn. But basically it's an alternate universe where men can get pregnant from other men, and human anatomy works differently. Including buttholes.
It gained massive popularity on Tumblr and other female-dominated sites in the late 2000s/early 2010s, and I am personally convinced that it eventually contributed to the wave of tumblrinas trooning out. As in, the "pregnant men" thing imprinted on their brains due to repeated exposure from years and years of cooming over it, and a lot of people just broke.
(Edit: If you want a hint about why anyone reading this might want to avoid the subject and move on, if I remember correctly it was invented by a woman who wanted to write gay werewolf porn about the brothers from Supernatural)

yeah. Yeah... yeeaahhhh....I learned a new fact in every single sentence of this post and I hated each one
This piece of shit has been around since 2004. I think it's like a Second Life kind of thing. I never played it.Video game mentioned is IMVU which i'd never heard of but it looks like one of the most female orientated games I've ever seen.
I never knew where this phrase came from to suddenly be everywhere, but now it seems I was right to hate it on sight.The "very demure, very mindful" video is apparently some viral video where some fat gay guy in drag talks about how feminine and cute he is
This shit infects every fandom, no matter what. I think the Venn diagram of permavirgins, people who find omegaverse erotic and people who say things like "genitals don't matter during sex" is one big circleit's an alternate universe where men can get pregnant from other men, and human anatomy works differently. Including buttholes.
Argh.... now I'm remembering a yaoi game I played in the brief couple of years in between eroge games becoming popular subjects of fan translation groups and professional companies jumping in on the filth market and licensing Japanese porn for sale to English speaking deviants. It was filled with bishonen with long hair wearing pseudo Nazi gear... and self lubricating anuses complete with sound effects, ready for passionate butt sex. I asked the woman who recommended it to me how the fuck people could get off to to it without being overwhelmed by images of rampant gastroenteritis, and she said that it was actually a fairly common trope in yaoi.I’m sorry…WHAT?! Okay genuine question, is this because almost all yaoi is written by women and they think that gay male asses do the equivalent to a vagina?
I still remember when Alpha/Omega dynamic fics first appeared (and yeah, Supernatural was patient zero), people were mocking it and the general fandom communities did not approve of it (same as with mpreg) and those who wrote it had to do it anonymously or only for certain groups. Honestly, while there were certainly freaks out there, I would say that fandom was way less depraved 20 years ago and not everything was about sex and kink and tranny headcanons. You can see that on AO3 some tags/tropes just did not exist or were rarely used before ... idk, tumblr became too big? I had already checked out at that point and I think places like fandom_wank were basically dead then as well.I'm sure some do believe that, but the poster is probably talking about a genre of fanfiction called Omegaverse where... you know, honestly I don't want to go into it, there is a lot I wish I could unlearn.

I know. I think she said something along the lines about the games being made for Japanese girls who didnt have any experience and still thought that irl boys are icky, but she was American despite being eyebrow deep in the fan translation scene, so I've always wondered whether she genuinely believed that or she was just trying to fob me off and make me stop criticising her precious yaoi.What in the everloving fuck
I bet this nigga got BPDSo is his gender "attention whore" or "fuck you, dad"?

No-one believes in gender stereotypes harder than trannies do.it’s story driven games which isn’t the norm for a “guy”

Not sure why she bothered censoring the face when she linked her damn Instagram in her Reddit profile.

Chances are those men are also into whatever game she means. There's just a time and a place. You don't go into a conversation about FIFA 2024 trying to talk about Persona and expect the conversation to continue naturally.
