A thread for sharing 'female gaze'-esque shotacon art, both eastern and western, very often-wise drawn by (suspected) female artists. Share any you know as I'd love to build my collection! Discussion of the female shotacon experience is also encouraged alongside image posting.I have nothing against the (gay) males of this board. I'm just interested in seeing more art and artists in this very specific genre, plus hearing what others have to say from personal anecdotes.No realistic artwork or paintings pls.
I find nowadays there's a lot more hen-picking in more fandom-y spaces over the topic of shotacon. Many spots, forums or IBs made for other women to use look down heavily on the subject. Which is sad, because I find that men are generally a lot more agnostic towards it and lolicon.
>>4041888*henpecking...is probably the actual way you say that lol.Anyway, the funniest thing I've ever seen come out that was one woman calling for a genocide against all autistic people in order to stop shotacons from existing.
>>4041884I'm a guy and I'm gonna whack off to every single image posted in this thread.
South Park definitely has some of the biggest, long-running collection of shotacons ever, and understandably so. I've have yet to see it in its entirety but a lot of episodes, characters and story beats just scratch my brain in such a good way. Plus it's very funny.I'll never understand Creek though.
(He's a FOTM, I know.)
i miss /sh/
>>4041884What is "female gaze-esque" about any of the art posted here? Maybe post something that's more male gaze so you can help us understand? It feels like you just wanted to create another /co/ thread in all honesty.
>>4041906They're made by women and follow a similar pattern of art trends, niches and/or adhere to shipping culture prominent in those spaces. I do believe in a difference in how men and women express shota love, especially in art, and I don't see one as being superior to the other. I just wish to see more examples.>It feels like you just wanted to create another /co/ thread in all honesty.I mostly just have cartoon stuff out of preference, and it's the most overt example of what I'm talking about too. Black Butler I know is possibly the most famous eastern case of what I mean, and it definitely shows in its style and writing.
>>4041906I think some things that I see commonly that are most recognizable as being "male gaze" are body part hyper-ism, smell and underwear fetishism, focus on the male buttocks and anus, interest in "full-time" otokonoko characters such as Astolfo, Bridgette or Hideri, and general sex play most popular with gay men as a whole (jockstraps, pupmasks, poppers, etc).I hope I'm making some sense here.
I miss this woman and her manga. </3
damnalready 1/3 of the thread filled
>>4041941I just love them that much anon. I'll calm down in a bit once I get all my yanota out.
The huffy, bratty, near tsundere-like is the most female-bait shota archetype to ever exist, I swear. It's why characters like Max, and more recently Abaddon became so popular.
>>4041906I thought OP just meant boys that aren't gay for each other. But there's plenty of gay stuff in here so idk.
>>4041947I would post het as I think it'd make what I'm talking about a lot more clear, but board rules and all.
Okay, I am done for now. I'll back back for more.
>>4041947Nah, homoeroticism is a very common feature of characters and art by female shotacons.
>>4041884total foid death
When i think of female shota, i think of legs
>>4041954Female gaze shota*
Wish 1st person yume shota art was a thing>>4041911Aw
>>4041953Come one, they're keeping to themselves. They're not trying to start shit.
>>4041958Rifuru makes doujins like that, if I understand you correctly
>>4041959I love it when Tweek looks miserable
>>4041954Definitely.
>>4041967>noeyebrowNice. Such a shame most of their art is in low definition.
>>4041958Lottie did nothing wrong. Everyone copies her flow but never properly give credit where credit is due.
Love tawapo's boys>>4041961Thanks a lot
>>4041908You're just describing SFW vs NSFW art
>>4041884This retarded pointless thread again?
>>4041975No, not really.
>>4041975i think that since she thinks that nsfw art is for boys and sfw art is for girls makes me think that she is a tranny.
Ignore the thread if you don't agree with it's premise. I'm being as clear and direct with what I'm describing, yet you entirely mischaracterize it as something else.If you know, you know.
I'm just happy to have TWO shota hreads
>>4041986It's just typical foid attention whoring 99% of the art posted here could be posted in the main thread so the premise of the thread doesn't even make sense.
>>4041988It is funny that they saw shotas were getting more attention, so they made a whole thread about themselves.
>>4041990Not everything is secretly about you, believe it or not.
>>4041984>>4041989I think the idea of "male" or "female" gaze shotas is complicated by there being multiple prevailing styles and sets of preferences for each sex. But if I had to pick one boy to represent what I think of as "female gaze" shotas, it would be Syaoran.
>>4041998For sure! It also ties into my theory that the most magnetic shota archetype is the huffy tsundere. Cute ones seem much more rare to come by these days.
>>4041993Doesn't matter what you think, hole.
>>4041998You can't actually articulate what makes a shota male or female gaze because it's nonsense.
>>4042005Every piece of artwork posted was drawn by a women. Which is part of the main premise of the thread. I listed counter examples that are more popular with guys but of course, no one bothers to read.
>smell and underwear fetishismHeh funny I always assumed it was femanons posting these
>>4042012Speak of the devil >>4042008
>>4042005Being made by a woman or women and consequently influenced by women's aesthetic sensibilities. In practice this is identified in an "I know it when I see it" sort of way. Because it's really more of an aggregate of all features rather than one or a few diagnostic ones. And, like I said, there are multiple different preferences and types of boys associated with each sex, sometimes even having somewhat contradictory features compared to one another.There is one that I can only describe as the "little man". These would be boys like Hanako. Tsubaki also has elements of this, in spite of his age. They're still cute and boyish. They're not just shrunk down men. But they are deceptively manly. Almost all other shotas are more heavily skewed towards highlighting their neoteny. Even bara-esque muscle shos tend to have baby faces. But with these "little men" there is more of a willingness to let their masculinity pull them a little towards maturity; in their faces, in their attitudes, in their clothes and how they frame their body.But then on the other extreme you have doll-like shotas. These would be both Cooro and especially Husky from +Anima that has been posted about recently in the regular shota general. These are pretty boys biased hard towards androgyny, with their masculinity mostly expressed through their behavior rather than their appearance. And even in their behavior, they tend to be especially child-like. They're not necessarily traps, but they're definitely not manly, either.These are totally different kinds of boys. But they're both way more likely to come from a woman than a man. And it's the same on the men's side. Muscle shos and full time traps another anon mentioned further up are two types of boy that couldn't be further apart. And yet they do both have in common that they are mostly made by men.You can't point to any one feature and say "this is what makes it male/female gaze". But there are trends you can notice.
>>4042021I'm not reading all that. I'm sorry that happened to you or whatever. Go dilate.
>>4042022I took the time to read it and I still think that it’s a bullshit explanation. According to it’s theory, I have a female gaze, and am thus a woman, yet unlike op, I am not a tranny; I’ll double down, I love shota of all shapes and sizes, this distinction is baseless and is uber likely just a tranny trying to get a foid tell he that she has good tastes, and validate her as a tranny by calling her taste female gaze. tldr Husky from +anime is hummina hummina, op is a tranny
>>4042039I'm not OP. And I'm a man. And the whole reason I came to this thread to begin with is because I like shotas made by women. I also like shotas made by men. I have favorites from both. Acknowledging the differences isn't an attack or anything. It's like acknowledging that there are difference between eastern and western art styles. We have a /co/ boys thread. So a shotas made by women thread isn't that different.And I wasn't saying anything bad about Husky. I also think he's super cute.
>>4042021>>4042040Thank you anon for being better with words than I could ever be, and for giving me the benefit of the doubt instead of baselessly assuming I’m a tranny.I think some anons see the OP title and immediately get defensive, thinking its very existence is an attack on their character. I don’t personally subscribe to the idea on can change their gender, but obviously men and women have difference what we prefer, even in the little things. I added the stipulation that much of the art come from female artists, so that definition was more ‘concrete’ and easier to obverse.I also just wanted to see other girl shotacons talk about their experience. It’s very isolating to be one in fandom spaces.
I get you OP. I think there's a clear distinction when it comes to art made by women, but I think what you're mostly referring to is stuff that's "fandom-y" instead of a generalized statement between what men draw vs what women draw.I think the recurring theme here is a focus on art that feels like the artist ships the characters. I'm hard pressed to assume that a man would draw pic related for example. Not sure why it feels that way, but my guess is because the focus is on drawing the characters in a cute scenario rather than a solo drawing meant to titillate the viewer.
>>4042112The existence of stuff like Touhou, PMMM, and even Blue Archive, hell, most yuri from Mihoyo games show that men can ship characters though and draw ship art similar to what you've posted...
>>4042212I'm not disagreeing with you there. Although I consider yuri fans similar to BL fans and many of those yuri artists are also women. Either way, I don't think there are a lot of men are shipping boys together even if they are the type to ship girls together. The focus is not on what men draw vs what women draw like OP stated, since there are always cases that deviate from the norm.
Is there nothing for female shotacons who like violent art? It feels like everything forceful is for men
I wish I had female shotacon friendsbut girls don't exist..
>>4042255No one ITT can agree on what "for men/women" even means. It's all schizophrenic stereotyping and dude trust me lines of reasoning.
>>4042275So true, where does one find unapologetic fujoshis>>4042314I actually get this thread as a man. The "female gaze" art is the art I use as reaction images and wallpapers while the "male gaze" art is the one I masturbate to
