It’s true, he said in an interview that Deltarune is a secret gay laser that turns anything you point it at gay.
I accidentally pointed at my aquarium and now all my fish are smooching gayly.

CW transphobic terms
In my own personal opinion, femboy doesnt read as any less derivative than the transphobic labels of “lady-+boy” and “she/male” that have been historically used to demean and fetishize trans women, especially trans women of color.
The cisgender men who present femininely within the fashion subculture aren’t important to me relative to the closeted trans women who are boxed in by the femboy moniker to get validation from cis people during their transition.
Society has put so much of a stigma of being potentially labeled as trans that trans-absent terminology is reinforced. Labeling ralsei as trans femme doesnt hurt a cisgender ralsei at all, its only uncomfortable to transphobes who only accept short, out of the way trans narratives (like Pink/mad mew mew)
Damn, for years that term in my mind was just shorthand for a gender nonconforming man. I never thought of it as a trans-denying term or a specifically fashion-oriented thing. Sounds like it’s carrying a lot more baggage than I’d realized. Gonna stop using it since it’s carrying a whole lot of connotations I definitely do not want.
Most often “femboy” is a porn term, used to demean trans women and transfeminine sex workers (same way terms like she+male or lady+boy are). Some transfems adopt the term either as a part of their self discovery journey or out of necessity if theyre sex workers and “femboy” stuff pays better, but if u are not transfeminine u should not use the term either for urself or for anyone else, u arent its target
