Shota for straight men. No /ss/ and no gay shota. Simple pictures of the beauty of boys and boyhood.

The nonsensical shota thread variations are getting out of hand

Great idea for a thread

>>3972348
At least this one has a clear purpose (boys being boys without gay undertones and lust). I still have no idea what the "female gaze shota" threads were trying to accomplish, but tbdesu as a shotacon I welcome the creation of more shita threads.

>>3972422
You are all a bunch of retards

>>3972447
Sorry. Thinking 24/7 about shotas melted my brain.

>>3972422
>female gaze
foids don't understand boys or the attraction they have on us.
their concept of "boy" is that he's got no male attributes at all, is basically a doll, something to dote on, something without any personality, no physicality, zero testosterone, devoid of desires and actions, pathologically passive, castrated.
foids are disgusting evil demons.

The only thing I'll give you is that faggots in the shota thread are prissy and obsess over women

>>3972422
The main thread has a lot of feminized shota drawn by fujos and catty gay drama, LARPS, etc. I'd say this thread embraces boyhood masculinity and boyhood customs - shotas wrestling, going on adventures, being mischievous, playful, etc.

Peak male performance.

Is this the straight yaoi thread?

Shigeru excels at that, every Shounen Zoom volume it's about boys being boys, there's a sense of deep yearning for boyhood in all of his works. I guess cherishing the youth it's a very japanese thing, but this feeling is multiplied by tenfold if this is the subject matter. There's a fleeting moment in your life, long before developing homosexual tendencies, where you and the other boys lived in the same world.

>>3972613
The problem with your image is that you posted a doujin. That's an eroticization of the boyhood experience.
>There's a fleeting moment in your life, long before developing homosexual tendencies, where you and the other boys lived in the same world.
What you describe is important, especially in regards to boys being in the "same world" but the purpose of this being a "Straight Male" thread is to avoid any sexual or homoerotic tendencies. The pure friendship of Gon and Killua is often implied to be homoerotic by fans, but it's never been explicitly or implicitly been expressed that they have any homoerotic tension. They're just best friends with a powerful love - a bond more great than that of brothers.

Quality thread so far bros

>>3972614
Most of the images posted here are boyhood through an eroticized lens. You're right, your approach is more fitting for "straight male shota". But that sense of male camaraderie might be alien to the average /cm/ user, that's why things are the way they are. The focus is on the exaltation of the heterosexual boyhood. Sometimes it's about the short-lived moments we could have shared with them, or simply longing for something that is normal but we can't experience.

>>3972691
Unfortunately a lot of these images will probably be somewhat eroticized because that's just the nature of Japanese shota imagery. Male camaraderie is certainly absent from the mind of the average /cm/ user, whether they did experience it as a child or never did and can only eroticize it. This seems to be a growing problem I've noticed where intimate, "boyhood moments" that are very special for that particular moment in life are narrowed down to just "homoeroticism." It's as if it's impossible to imagine two boy friends expressing their love for each other by being vulnerable with their feelings, bodies, and desires. Pic related is a good example of what I'm talking about. A very natural boy experience where nudity is normalized because the boys know they have the same body and are comfortable and vulnerable with each other. No "erotic" or "sexual tension," just boys being boys.

This sounds like major cope, my dear friend. Admit it, none of these pictures could feasibly ever be taken as non-homosexual imagery. They eroticize and idealize boyhood which always connotates homosexual ideation. There's nothing wrong with that, given the board we're on, I just wish you'd stop coping with this "le camarederie" nonsense. No, straight guys have no interest in camarederie given how they treat fellow men in majority of situations and there is no such thing as a straight male gaze when it comes to shota or anything involving males. Just admit it already. It doesn't have to have erotic, romantic or sexual tension in any way for it to not be homosexual at the end of it. This whole thread is painful to read.

>>3972875
Boys are objectively beautiful and you dont have to be aroused by them to acknowledge that.

>>3972875
I get where you're coming from considering this is a "shota" thread, but consider these two threads which disprove the connotation between the drawn male form in its beauty and alleged homosexual ideation.

Have you forgotten about the bond between Achilles and Patroclus? Gilgamesh and Enkidu? Tom and Huck? Male camaraderie is an endangered form of friendship that used to present throughout history and literature, with stories of "blood brothers" or "soul siblings" forging relationships that are just as passionate or sometimes even more powerful than romantic love, all without any sexual or homoerotic tension ("Blood Brotherhood" Jack Donovan, Nathan F. Miller). Cicero would write about this bond for the Pagan in "De Amicitia" with Aelred of Rievaulx continuing Cicero's work and adapting it for the Christian. Yes, men unfortunately nowadays have zero interest in other men, I agree with you. But a closer look at history shows that things were not always this way and that (hopefully) we can turn back the clock and bring men closer together.

>>3972896

All were fucking.

At first I scoffed at this thread, but after some thought, I kind of get it. Coomers will never understand that the body of a boy is a work of art. I think there are plenty of striaght males who have coomerbrain tho

>>3972971
If that's what you really think then you really haven't felt the love of a close, personal friend. To quote C.S. Lewis: "“Those who cannot conceive of friendship as a substantive love but only as a disguise or elaboration of Eros betray the fact that they have never had a friend.”

>When I picked up my 12-year-old son after soccer practice in Turkey, one of the other boys touched Alex’s cheek with his hand and said, “See ya, handsome.”
>I noticed macho police and secret service types holding hands. It’s not unusual to see male university students fawning over each other, but there is no indication they are homosexuals.
>One could say the lack of self-consciousness is refreshing, without the American need to put a label on certain behavior and judge it, even if I’m too Americanized to feel comfortable hugging and kissing other men.
>Before observing this phenomenon of male behavior in Turkey, I would have thought that it wasn’t “natural” for men to hug, kiss and dance with each other because that’s the way I was raised. In middle and high school in America, boys are taught what it is acceptable and unacceptable behavior. They are taught that it is “unmanly” and “unnatural” to show affection toward other men, and if you do so in junior high school or early high school at least, you are to be shunned and condemned as “gay.” But that is just culture speaking, not “nature.”

While I do think that splitting the board into a million different types of shota threads is a bit silly, I do agree that the main thread can devolve into petty arguments a lot of the time, especially if you dare to say that you can like shotas and not be gay.

>>3973082
Cute young Link, always loved him. But yeah, it's ridiculous to presume that because anons come here they must have homolust for them at all times. That's just not true. Again, as I stated in the main thread, there are people who are purely into the "hugs" and want zero participation in the "fugs" domain of this space. Have none of these guys had a little brother or cousin? A best friend who connected with them emotionally and physically on a deep level? Same goes for the women of this board, they need to feel welcomed as well, although this is the straight male thread so we'll keep discussion of women to a minimum.

>>3973087
The guys in the main thread seem very upset at the concept of a man finding a boy beautiful without wanting to engage in any sexual activity with him.

>>3973239

Just ignore the thread then and let it die.

>>3973239
It's apparently a baffling concept to a lot of people, a lot of straight people included. The idea that a straight man can't find boys beautiful should be ridiculous on face value if one were to just think about the history of art and literature centered on cute boys. Caravaggio, anyone? The problem in our modern culture is that we impose sexuality on normal feelings that are not inherently sexual. I find cities, overgrowth on buildings, and old architecture very beautiful. Does that mean I have a sexual attraction to these things? Obviously not. So why is it that a man's affinity for the male youth or boyhood in general suddenly has to be sexual?

>>3973244
>both gay males AND fujos

I really would recommend you guys go back and read about love. Start with basic research about platonic love and fraternal love and then read C.S. Lewis' "The Four Loves." Then go beyond that and read some history of male-male affectionalism (Ibson's "Picturing Men" would be a good start as it debunks the 'lone cowboy' myth).

>>3973417

So is this the nambla thread?

>>3973445
you wish

This idea of labeling certain behaviors as "straight" or "gay" coded only reinforces homophobia - it doesn't help any confused boys or men at all. Being a boy and having a loving, affectionate relationship with another boy does not make one a "straggot" or "in the closet," just as holding hands together or sharing a bed does not imply any sexual connotation.

>>3973520
Just stop already.

>>3973561
If you're going to respond to me you could at least post shota.

>>3972896
I never come into this threads but I saw the thread title and had to bite. I don't disagree with your overall argument (male intimacy is not necessarily erotic), but you are using some specious examples which make it seem like a troll. Achilles and Patroclus were considered a homoerotic couple in antiquity (Plato, Aeschylus, etc.). Jack Donovan is homosexual. CS Lewis did protest against Freudian notions that eros must lurk at the bottom of every relationship between males, but also acknowledged the homoeroticism of antiquity, of Shakespeare's sonnets, and his own school experiences.

>>3973839
Oh and Caravaggio was a homo

>>3973840
There is very little evidence for most of those claims of gayness that isnt based on modern historical revisionism. Have you honestly never thought a boy was beautiful without wanting to put your dick inside him?

>>3973839
I'll go at this from a more broad point of view rather than one-by-one. First, yeah, Jack Donovan is a homosexual man, but "Blood Brotherhood" in particular is not about imposing a revisionist, homoerotic subtext on male-male relationships. The book documents customs and literature from centuries past that demonstrate just how important alliances, friendships, and bonds between men were considered. An example he uses is Fei Wei and Chi Ch'and in which he write: "The two men broke out in tears, and threw away their bows. They bowed down low upon the ground before each other, and asked to become father and son. They both let blood flow from their arms, and took an oath never to reveal the secrets of their art to any other man." Him being gay himself has nothing to do with his and Nathan F. Miller's research on male affectionalism, as all they're trying to prove is that a special camaraderie that once was present throughout the world is now lost. Hence why he would also write "The Way of Men" in which he stresses the importance of forming a "gang" with like-minded men.
>CS Lewis did protest against Freudian notions that eros must lurk at the bottom of every relationship between males, but also acknowledged the homoeroticism of antiquity, of Shakespeare's sonnets, and his own school experiences.
No one is denying that homoeroticism or homosexuality was present in the past. What myself and others are trying to say is that Abraham Lincoln and Joshua Speed sharing a bed together and even writing "romantic" letters of affection to each other was nothing unique to their relationship, in fact, it was quite common and says nothing about one's sexuality.

>>3973870
(Continued) As for greek gods and the such, again, that's wildly debated as customs were very different back then and it's dependent upon the "academic" one reads. Myself having read Adonis A. Georgiades "Homosexuality in Ancient Greece" which proposes that homosexual acts were not common and punishable by law is probably more accurate than the idea of Greece being a "gay paradise" (even still, I can't say that that book debunked every argument most revisionists make).
>Caravaggio was a homo
That's just speculation, which is unfortunate because I'm also a boy artist but I can't go a day thinking that others will get the wrong impression of what my work is trying to say. All I can recall about Caravaggio is that he got into a lot of fights and had a big mouth, so we can't say anything about his sexuality regardless of the fact whether he had favorite models that happened to be male.

Dio and Lucciola's relationship should serve as another example of a sweet, intimate friendship between boys without any romantic or sexual undertones much like Gon and Killua. Surprised this anime doesn't get talked about much considered how good it is.

I agree that Abraham Lincoln was probably not homosexual and that bed-sharing was not a homoerotic practice of that era. However, you are the one engaged in modern historical revisionism by suggesting that sexual pederasty was not endemic in ancient Greece. No one even suggested this warped idea until the 20th century.

>>3973875

Georgiades "Homosexuality in Ancient Greece" which proposes that homosexual acts were not common and punishable by law is probably more accurate than the idea of Greece being a "gay paradise"
Read the original sources, most of the sources that deniers post on the internet are taken out of context. For example, Xenophon states that pederasty was legal in the majority of Greek cities. Plato is often cited as evidence that the Greeks were against the practice, but he was an iconoclast who's opinions were in no way suggestive of mainstream opinion. In his Laws, he laments the fact that pederasty isn't criminalized. Against Timarchus makes it clear that pederasty was common in Athens, and legal; Aeschines only takes objection to Timarchus engaging in prostitution, not the practice of pederasty, and names various 'lovers' and 'beloveds' who he finds honourable, including himself, to contrast with Timarchus' behaviour.

Athenaeus was a Greek writer who wrote on Greek boy-love around 200AD, a period of history when the practice had become unfavourable. His opinions coincide with modern day opinions regarding the matter, so it can hardly be considered revisionism:
>And many men used to be as fond of having boys for their favourites as women for their mistresses. And this was a frequent fashion in many very well regulated cities of Greece. Accordingly, the Cretans, as I have said before, and the Chalcidians in Eubœa, were very much addicted to the custom of having boy-favourites. Therefore Echemenes, in his History of Crete, says that it was not Jupiter who carried off Ganymede, but Minos.

Being a "shotacon" is not gay or straigth. It is its own sexual orientation that deserves to be recognized, respected, celebrated and protected.

>>3973922
It's a pretty sad state of affairs that there are some on this board that find being a gay pederast acceptable. Some anons just can't conceptualize a man loving another young man or boy with a platonic or fraternal type of love.
>stop coping
I think you're projecting, anon. If you're going to cope and seethe like a good little incel, you could at least post cute boys.

>>3973950
Can you reply to the history posts...

>>3973952
Honestly, whether ancient Greece had a culture of pederasty or not doesn't really matter at this point. Eventually they would (rightfully so) collapse and be replaced by a better culture that disapproved of such acts. That's even if all the evidence points to 'Greek love' being a thing. Georgiades says that the early Church slandered the Greek way of life by accusing them of sodomy and pederasty, but who's to stay that the early Church wasn't correct in their testimony? I'm not Greek nor am I a neo-Pagan, it's moreso the debate and evidence pointing to different conclusions I find interesting.

They're Japanese shota, and it's called having tan skin because they're outside all day as boys should be. I'm obviously not a fan of Draugnut's erotic work, but everything from the shape design, anatomy, personality, and youthful beauty of his boys is an example of an artist who loves masculinity. These aren't boys with tareme (タレ目) eyes with feminine proportions or posed to look like women. There's not a single hint of gender ambiguity or "moe" in his art. It's an expression of the masculine-boyhood experience, chud.
>thinks jewish sandnigger religion and culture is superior to native european culture
Where are these European pagans? Oh, they're all gone? Sucks to be you, then.

i honestly think we could try this thread again, just some young guys/boys being cute together, but not objectified
or being heavily focused on particular features when rendering, or anything like that

no i’m certain it’s not a nonsensical idea, there’s nothing in concept that would put off the average guy you’re trying to get into cute males,
and besides those kinds of posts are very very sweet
the problem is it can be hard to understand the right perspective, and select your image therefor, if you have one disposition and lack a certain other

OP here. I get your concern and will see what I can do about the next thread.

>i honestly think we could try this thread again, just some young guys/boys being cute together, but not objectified or being heavily focused on particular features when rendering, or anything like that
As a boy artist myself I like drawing cute boys shirtless since there is a lot of beauty in the anatomy. For me it's the delicate balance between youth and conventional masculinity, the softness and innocence of preadolescence with the temperance and strength of the young male. When I draw them I wouldn't say I'm objectifying them, rather, demonstrating the ideal boy form and what I want for all boys.

>the problem is it can be hard to understand the right perspective, and select your image therefor, if you have one disposition and lack a certain other
This is also true, and that's why the thread has the "Straight Male Shota" name for the thread. Hopefully I can compile a better idea of what this thread should be about in the next thread and we can further discuss what it means to be a straight male who cares about this subject (why we look at these images, watch shota anime, play shota games, etc).

>>3974378
>will see what I can do about the next thread
Just put "Wholesome shota art: boys being boys without romantic or lewd implications" in the OP. "Straight male shota" clearly confused a lot of people and derailed the thread quite bad with endless arguments about stuff that nobody will agree on.
