Fucking signed, I just don't get it. I like the guy characters for the personality I come to know them with and if they were efeminate to begin with then maybe it wouldn't bother me as much, but when you take a really masculine guy and dress him up in a wedding dress or lingerie, I feel like I'm looking at someone's woobificatoon fantasy rather than the character themselves enjoying something that seems completely ooc to me. It entirely takes me out of it.

Give me guys being affectionate or vulnerable and women being tough, give me them trying new things even, but don't make them a caricature of themselves. If your two dudes are in love one of them doesn't have to become the 'wife' unless he's into that, but I'm sure not.

Obviously, your preferences are your preferences. But I don't think it makes them a caricature of themselves, or a wooby fantasy. It's adding on to what's already there, and often the tension between those seemingly disparate elements is what makes it work for people in the first place.

I must be seeing some different portrayals than what people here are talking about. Oh well. :/ To each their own. I understand where OP is coming from, though.

The appeal of putting manly dudes in lingerie is that they're still manly and there's a contrast between them and their clothing, though. It's not about making them effeminate.

I guess all the art I've seen has them looking humiliated. At least in my fandoms. It's a huge turnoff. It's like they turn them into the 'girl' of the relationship, a very seme/uke divide, and while that's not near as bad as it used to be, I like a more believable dynamic.

I guess I can see when you put it that way what it does for some people. Definitely not my thing, though.

I'm bi, you dipshit. I also said I felt like it was reducing the character traits when they are OOC. If a guy wants to dress up in those clothes because it's their thing, fine, I don't care. I said it wasn't attractive to me. Also if it's out of character, that is a critique of bad fandom characterization, not the kink itself.
