Homocel hypothesis: Difference between revisions

One observes a high consumption of futanari porn (females with penisses) in some forums frequented by incels such as [[4chan]].

Nowadays femboys are becoming more and more popular on the internet. There is a concerning amount of attention given especially by alt right incels to femboys on social media. While this may be just for meme purposes, it can not go unnoticed. This also may explain the rise in "femboy complations" on social media apps like TikTok. It also can be noted that various animes especially in more recent times to include characters that look highly feminene, and sometimes can pass off as women or look completely like women but are identified as male, used to (and still often) reffered to as "traps" on online forums such as 4chan to be boys, a few good examples being Felix Argyle from Re:Zero, or Astolfo from the Fate Grand Order series. Many of which tend to be very popular in anime communities. In anime communities this may have significant co-morbity with the below sub-type.

==== Yaoi (BL) ====

Similarly to the above two sub-categories where feminine features are mixed with homosexual aspects, within many anime communities, many male consumers of Yaoi may often have shifted at least partially away from traditional anime hentai to find interest in more androgynous anime boys often with some feminine characteristics as preferable, similarly, some may find shota (the male euvililent of [[Loli]]) as desirable despite the fact shotas typically have traditionally few masculine features and sometimes even are shown to crossdress. Although these standards of male attractiveness tend to be seen as highly unrealistic for most real men, and many male consumers of BL (typically refered to as "fundanshis") may often be bisexual or even identify as straight in real life due to the significant difference between typical androgynous anime boys and actual men who often don't meet said standards

One could argue that Yaoi is very similar to the two above sub-categories or that they could be apart of a natural progression of interest where for example an avid porn addict (such as a [[Weebcel]] who watches hentai) may start slowly skweing away from tradition hentai doujins and begin experimenting with consuming with more niche content, such as futanari and slowly start progressing to femboys and then straight on Yaoi as the consumer becomes more comfortable with certain male artibutes which can be argued to make people more likely to identify as bisexual or gay. This might hold some water as some sources imply that the more porn you watch the more likely you are to be bisexual <ref>https://nypost.com/2019/02/26/people-who-watch-porn-are-more-likely-to-be-bisexual-study/</ref>

Men who tend to avoid androynous males or typical gender dynamics and focus on relationships of more hyper-masculine hunky males in media like Bara are often seperate from the above and can be considered their own sub-type who are often typically more likely to identify as fully or mostly gay which can be noted due to their lack of any feminine features in characters and tending to over emphesise their masculine traits.
