it's just weird that literally nobody is entering this market, but I suppose it's better than having a fujo enter and fuck it up
Anonymous No.3973580 >>3973583 >>3973667
and in regards to shota oni I don't like it much myself desu from what I've read about it from the summary page
it's classic yaoi from the art which automatically makes it shit since I can't help seeing the bottom as the obvious woman the artist is projecting him as, and the sho is the top which is not my thing
just a bunch of weird choices in my opinion, a more classic guy-sho romance would have been much better

>this market
there really is no market for sho/yaoi that is made by homosexual men for homosexual men. even male artists, few that there are, that draw sho always compromise to women and fujos who just want girls in shorts and tanktops. there's really no winning this game at all. there really is little to no gain without severe pushback.
>>3973580
that's what i was talking about. even this piece of fujo garbage that's clearly made by and for women incurred such a misguided wrath that went our direction even tho its not for us. just the slightest implication of male-pandering content sends such a big group of people into a frenzy.
Anonymous No.3973585 >>3973587

I mean, this pushback is entirely online
it doesn't matter at all
they can scream all they want, if someone actually wanted to make a series about it they wouldn't let randos online disrupt them
Once I get good enough to regularly draw shos there's nothing anyone can do to stop be from drawing, especially not by posting online about it
the market is there, but nobody has the balls to go and make something because they either want the fujobuxx or are satisfying with the slop that already exist

while i appreciate your candor and go-get-them attitude, the logistics of it have to be considered. of course a lot of us are passionate but not a lot of us are willing to put in that time and effort. for my part, i'm at a pretty good skill level and support the few male artists im able to when i can but its tough. not a lot of people can spare the time and the effort needed. also you say the online pushback doesn't matter but when your platform is the internet (where you release the works onto the community) it of course matters and is a factor that these dissidents who are incredibly volatile will give you crap sooner rather than later if you put yourself out there. but i support what you're saying, just providing the other side of the coin.

Pretty much like one of the newer Fire Emblem games but with an all shota cast. fantasy setting, tactical warfare, and you can pair up the characters to get married. Maybe without the childbirth mechanic though, that would be weird.

I'd also enjoy an SMT kind of game but with the demons as cute shotas. The only reason this isn't my first choice is that Shota X Monsters pretty much gave me that already.

I'm too OCD to let my units ever die without resetting in FE anyway so it doesn't matter to me, the cast being cute shotas would just give me more of a reason to make sure they survive.

But there is also a side of me that likes tragedy and drama, I can imagine a scene where one of the boys dies protecting another, and then confesses his love for him before dying in his arms. It would really hit emotionally.

Top shos are very rare though, and they are based when they come around. Shota Oni is cute and Tsubaki is a top tier sho.
Besides boys are masculine typically, wanting to protect others and stick their dicks in people is generally normal.

Yeah I'm also gay and find it weird. I don't particularly like women either, not just dont find them attractive, I usually find them annoying and tiring to be around. But I don't hate them and its really weird how much ppl here outright hate them. Besides women produce a lot of good sho art. I find they tend to be pretty bad at making nsfw due to lack of knowledge of male anatomy, but they make great sfw shos that are cute.

There's a free japanese RPGmaker game called Endroll that's pretty cool, you play as a psychopathic shota, but it goes through a lot of trauma stuff in his past. (the shota is technically 15, but he's like 4'11 and has a cute appearance)

The man has no reflection in the puddle. When he sees that he freaks out and realizes he's dead and already was in that first scene when the boy wakes up. The plane and some of the buildings being destroyed compared to the flashback imply he died in a war. The boy is most likely supposed to be his son. That spot seems to be some kind of grave, symbolic or actual, where the boy is burying the letter to reach the deceased man.

Being the pet dog/cat of a shota is much better.
>can sleep with your shota (if you're a good boy and don't leave hair everywhere)
>can rest your face and body on any part of your shota
>can see your shota naked every day when he changes his clothes and takes a bath if his parents let you live inside the house
>enhanced sense of smell to detect the aroma of your shota anywhere
>your shota and other shotas always want to play with you and touch you
>can protect your shota from attackers (if you're a large dog) or vermin (if you're a small dog or a cat)
The only drawbacks are that you would die way earlier than your shota (a positive if you don't want to see him become an adult), animal food may taste bad, and if you don't control your lust the shota's parents may cut your balls.

This is literally projection btw. Nobody is hating women in this specific discussion, we're just complaining that no male specific manga exist drawn by males. I dislike women in general because they are everywhere and keep trying to ruin my hobbies in their attempts to get dick, straggots treat them like the end goal of life, society tells them all men are attracted to them so they internalize that and act like telling them no is an insult, and I don't live in the west so when they hit on me I have to put up with it because otherwise they would create problems. There is no positive thing I can get from women so I would prefer they stopped existing and taking up space and making my life harder.

Emil actually is a notable exception because the writer is too based to care. in the original game there's a scene where he says he's somewhat jealous of a woman that gets to marry the prince of a kingdom and then protag tells him that he'll find a bride of his own one day and he's just like "Huh? a bride?"

Some wouldn't consider him a true gay shota though because he's one of the age over a thousand immortal boys and most of his gay moments happen after he's transformed into the magical skeleton mascot of the game.

The scanners of Automata can also kind of count because the androids canonically don't really think much about gender because they're robots. Yoko Taro even gave one of the NPC scanner boys the model number "801" as a reference to yaoi.

There's also a stage play turned book about a squad of male androids who are, of course, all homos. This book also confirms that the 9S body type of android are not "twinks" as most normalfags would like to believe, but in fact are designed to look like adolescent boys. There's also that sidequest in the game where the male resistance android wants your help fixing his scanner boywife.
Nier is a very gay franchise. It's a shame it's also very bleak with most characters doomed to bittersweet endings at best.

I mean, twink as a whole is a huge cope to get around the fact that you can't legally fuck teen boys or make porn of them, so you are left with the barely legal late bloomers. Anytime I see normies asking for anime twinks, I am just flabbergasted. Just jerk off to anime high school boys, because that's what you clearly want. In the world of cartoon porn, no need to virtue signal that the boys are 18+ because they aren't fucking real. If you want to ogle 14-16 year old anime boys, fucking own it. They aren't real, so it ain't a crime. And anyone trying to make it so is inherently evil and should always be public talked down.

Sho beauty lasts for so little. what was once a beautiful being brimming and pulsating with life, enrichening the people around him is curbstomped by the mechanics of the mortal coil and everything that was beautiful, in body and soul, is phased out until there is nothing recognizable from what the person used to be. Hair grows out, body contorts and deforms, innocence and lust for life is snuffed out. It is horrifically depressing, and I can't stop myself from thinking about it.

high school rolled around as did puberty and we all separated, got ugly and cruel and stupid. now he's some vaping tracksuit wearing dyed brown broccoli hair straggot. i mean puberty is a bitch but it really did a number on him. middle school, well that was well over 10 years ago now.

that's not really a consequence of puberty, you just had a crush and an idealized view of him which was broken when he grew up and became another normalnigger

Man and boy is a pretty common/popular pairing including by people here. It's not my preference. I like sho with sho. But I don't mind it, especially when it's an older brother as is functionally the case here. And no, the homo isn't just for jokes and I don't think you can say it's baity given the ending. The homo is the main point of the entire manga, so yes, it's sometimes played for humor. But it's also just as often a source of sweetness and drama. We like Gon and Killua here and their relationship is used for humor sometimes and is way easier to accuse of being bait.
And yeah, I assumed you didn't like trap stuff. But given how common that is, I don't see why it would produce that kind of reaction. The venn diagram of Japanese artists who like shota and ones who like traps is almost a circle. We also have a girlysho thread here.
>onii-chan is a doormat
While I actually half agree with this complaint, it doesn't make sense in the context of your broader criticism. I don't agree that onii-chan is a doormat. But he is just sort of there and doesn't do much. But that's because so much of the focus is on Kei. So this is a perfectly valid critique of the writing, but not of it somehow being inadequately shotacon.

You misunderstood me right off the bat. Man/Sho isn't the problem nor do I dislike it, quite not so, but what I was getting at was that that pairing and setup is always the most used by baiting fujos. There's been some decent work here and there that you can get some enjoyment out of, but they're always pervasive with the fact that the fujos making them are out of their depth and engaging with something they fundamentally can't grasp which is homosexual love. I'm fine with the glorified smut but do take issue when they try their hand at more than that. Again, I'm well aware of the fact that sho/trap will always correlate and that's how it's been since forever, just stating that the already baity premise which naturally leads to trap/crosddressing makes for one nasty shit soup. I just feel incredibly blue balled, is all. You get some modicum of the content you want only for it to be made by a group, however sometimes well-intentioned, that just doesn't get it because for me, women will always be outsiders. Simple as. I prefer it when fujos/women stick to their own way of things. In truth, none of these issues are unique to that manga but moreso the well from which it springs from. As for Onii-chan, what I was saying was that in fujo works, the man is always either a caricature or a non-factor which hampers the romance/story and they're always characterized by a very corrosive softness that just doesn't resemble a man. You can't have a love story where one side of it is just a glorified background character with little agency, just observing. I hope I've articulated myself adequately.
Anonymous No.3974098 >>3974104
>>3974094
This isn't a fujo thing, though. In romance in general, the intended target of affection gets most of the depth while the character the audience is expected to relate to is usually left relatively unexplored. You can see this in both sides of hetshit too. And it makes sense. No one reading a romance story wants to spend a lot of time on the character they're not attracted to. Obviously some people pull it off better, but the underlying idea is still usually present.
You're only going to get both sides fully fleshed out either when the romance is in addition to a larger story, in which case it's often the love interest that winds up shallow and tacked on. Or when both sides are of interest to the audience, which is to say a gay romance between two of the same type of character like sho with sho. Man and boy romance is always going to give a lot more attention to the boy no matter who is writing it, unless they're writing it for boys.
I still don't get why you call it bait. Or the soft and unmanly thing. It's more decisively homo than most of the manga/anime/vidya that people post boys from here. And onii-chan is just a regular guy.
I'm not even sure the mangaka is a woman. Someone said that in the 801 thread on /a/, but their only proof was a pic I couldn't find the source of. And the way the mangaka draws themself in the volume extras looks like a dude to me.

Like with everything in storytelling, it's a fine line. You definitely don't cede a lot of screentime to the self-insert character but at the same time, unless we're talking those trashy Twitter webmangas where it's just POV blank slates, you have to give the MC enough personality and agency that he functions well within the story you're telling and that the romance with the LI is enjoyable and believable as a result but of course never at the cost of the reader's self-insertion/roleplay. Kouhei falls a little below the threshold.

the manga ended with them biding each other farewell and promising to reunite some time as friends or something only for the author to say they never met each other again after that. it was bizarre seeing a smut end so bitterly but i appreciated the effort.

No, I'd say that's just a persecution/victim complex if you think being gay means you'll suffer forever in stories as default unless you luck out. Yes the law and society want you to stop existing but that's got nothing to do with making everything so depressing like you're a teenage girl writing an angsty fanfic. It is what it is in the end, and people managed to have relationships thousands of years ago when you would get literally hanged for it, let alone now. That story was realistic but it had nothing to do with them being boys, there's hundreds of stories like that about childhood crushes on a girl you never see again. The suffering isn't related to gayness in particular.

But it is though. It's not some perverse, fetishizing self-flagellating WOE IS ME thing when it's just recognizing a self-evident truth about what being a homosexual entail in society.

That is a direct result of religion. Religion is what created that world. Not that I hate religion, but people use it that way. Some crazies probably misinterpreted something and now we’re way we are.

I’m not positive but I feel like the further back you go there were probably a lot of boys seen together.

Religion is just a way for people to funnel their contempt, ignorance into some perversely sanitized canon. Wolves telling themselves they're sheep. Most of humanity is discardable.

The label less, visceral and pure love between two young boys before puberty shapes them into just two more NPCs is the most beautiful and (only) worthwhile thing in this fucking miserable life. I should know, I experienced it. Only reason I haven't committed suicide yet despite my whole life being one long waking nightmare with one brief respite is to hold onto those memories and keep them alive inside my own head.

I got a film that is very similar as to what you've described, with two boys being the main casts. Although it's veiled as a bond of friendship, but you might see through it, not to discredit the friendship. it's one of my favourites movies of all time

Image limit is reached so there's nothing to do so might as well talk about whatever, what's the harm?

Yes. Boys together before the world ruins them. There’s just nothing better. I know. I’m at the point where I’m beyond the effect the world has on me. I’m worse off. Seeing how much people fight to deprive boys of being able to even think about this is scary. Also knowing how many don’t make it through. Terrible, I wish I could help, but then they call you a monster.
