Another thing fandom needs to start doing more of is projecting on tops.

There are delicious amounts of psychological distress you can inflict on that guy once you get into his head. The brainworms of forcing agency and initiative on someone who genuinely is Not Fucking Ready For It are exquisite.

The original 'virgin vs chad' meme

I feel like everyone is sick of those stupid soyjack vs Chad "my opinion is good and based and correct, your opinion bad and wrong and stinky" memes by this point, as they're some of the lowest forms of current internet 'humor.' But precisely because those memes are so bad and also everywhere, I feel it's worth giving some credit to the fact that the original "The Virgin Walk / The Chad Stride" was actually a brilliant meme.

"The Virgin Walk" image showed up first, and it was standard 4chan stuff - which is to say, highly negative. Just a whole bunch of random small traits that people can have, bundled together in an accusatory way to try and make people insecure about them having "virgin" posture, by the kind of people who genuinely worries about being an "alpha male" (Or possibly pointing out their own flaws as a form of self-hatred, flip a coin when it comes to 4chan)

And then, on another thread, someone made the Chad Stride edit to go along with it.

It's a great piece of satire by how simple it is. Just by taking the traits listed in the original image, then inverting and exaggerating them, the result is an absurd caricature of a man who does not (and should not) exist. Through exaggeration, it demonstrates how the people who constantly worry about seeming 'Chad-like' are chasing after behaviour that is utterly unhinged and disconnected from reality.

I think this gif demonstrates it perfectly by putting it in motion:

Virgin is a normal, if insecure dude. Chad is an absolute fucking maniac. (Not to mention all the references to violence in the image)

So, while it did degrade into those awful soyjak memes we all know and hate because that is the nature of the internet, I feel like it's worth remembering that in the original image that spawned this entire trend, you're supposed to laugh at Chad. You shouldn't want to be Chad, because he's the menace to society [ credit to the gif's creator: https://x.com/art_miguelito/status/1107313740033212417 ; thanks to @softwaring for linking it ]

I'm going to give it a try :

10th - quite similar to Blue Flag but shorter. The story directly start with the mc admitting his love for another male character

Is love the answer - Very good to give different perception of love and have anyone having their own idea of it without putting down any opinion

Kiryuu sensei - Fighting Amatonormativity head on through the mangaka, the heroine is aroace and her perspective on how dating goes is very relatable to me

Boy run the riot - trans man getting into male fashion

Cross play love - an Otaku crossdress as a girl to draw at a maid coffee and really feel at ease like this and can enjoy life more freely. A male character who fell for him without knowing he's a guy crossplay to not feel embarrassed to get to the mais coffee and befriend her. (Don't try to understand his logic) there's pretty much a lot of messing with gender presentation and role

The moon on a rainy night - Romance between a lesbian and a deaf girl but it deeply engage with the deaf girl disability and how society see both homosexual relationship and disability.

Kamisama no ekohiiki - One of my favorite for how it use genderbend to talk about gender an how it can more or less matter following the person

Love me for who I am - Talk about nonbinarity

How I attended an all guy mixer - Messing with gender presentation and role

Restart - A more chill bl

Hidamari ga kikoeru - Similar with The moon on rainy night in talking about deafness and not having it just as an excuse to push the characters together

Our dining table - A really heartwarming manga about sharing a meal when you're lonely and isolated

Still sick - It push forward what it is to be a creator

My love mix up - Bi panic the manga. A lot of misunderstanding but in a funny way. Great comedy

Secret xxx and therapy game - The first is a one-shot and the second is a spin off which is longer

Maria sama watch over us - Inevitable of you want to learn about yuri tropes

Love stories - A great manga which talk about how it is to discover to be gay and having support. It's been on break since a while but I still recommend it because of how great it is

Hoping you'll give them a try

Pride month with anime and manga, I recommend especially the last one

The mangas contain gay, lesbians, nonbinary and trans (and gender in general) representations. But since not everything have to be about our suffering there's chill manga that still include LGBT subject.

Still, check the "dothedogdie" website in case of trigger.

🏳️‍🌈Happy pride month 🏳️‍🌈
