I personally, I find just one more fanservice. They are poorly constructed characters, and serve only comic relief (which I find a lack of respect for transvestites).

The thing about Astolfo, him being one of the best characters in F/A doesn't matter to people, they simply classified him as trap and that what he is, they degraded the character so much its not even possible.

People are just bunch of degenerated pigs (not you).

Most them are overrated. Astolfo from Fate/Apocrypha was annoying.

I agree it adds to comic relief. Some traps are pretty good though like Naoto Shirogane on Persona 4 and Subaru on Mayo Chiki.

I don't care about them most of times. Like, they tend to be there just for traps jokes and little more. I think the only one I liked was Hideri from Blend S, since he was genuinely funny and had some personal goal and ambitions, other than being there just to be a joke (in fact, I remember they only used the "you're a guy?!" thing once or twice in the series), who made him a bit memorable.
Liking them sexually if you are a male is also gay too. However, again, there's nothing wrong with being gay :^)

Yeah, i really like Hideri, because he's have a personality incomum for traps.

I fucking hate them, since these characters revolve around a shitty and overused joke (omg! That "girl" is actually a guy!) in anime almost all the time, which I find annoying. Also, I prefer male characters to dress like men and not women, whether they look masculine or feminine. The memes are even worse than the traps themselves.

They are just one more type of character, some are good and some are bad... nothing else to say except that if are male and you get turned on by them you are gay.

I find some to be quite appealing to be honest.
If the traps themselves feel comfortable with it and aren't being forced into other gendered clothing then who am I to stop them from wearing w/e they want to.
If Hideri from Blend S wants to wear skirts because he believes women make better idols, more power to him
Plus it looks great on him.

What do you think about them being in anime? Do you guys find them likeable or
maybe you hate them and have you ever been attracted to one.
Do these traps give a bit of shock value to an anime or do you guys already have some sort of "trap radar" where you can automatically tell if he/she is a trap and you're not fazed by it like before? I personally don't have a problem with them and find them quite entertaining.

P.S Also name some of your BEST TRAPS down below.

oh boy another forum post about traps. Why have they gotten so popular recently?
I don't care whether they're there or not. I don't dislike them per se, but the "haha gotchu you were sexually attracted to a boy the whole time" never got me. Just kinda weird. Felix is chill tho

I prefer reverse traps (girls who look like guys), which are sadly a lot less common

traps are a disgrace and people who identify as them are basically mocking the lgbt community (specifically trans people). I find traps disgusting and a lot of guys who claim to be gay because because they like them are just prison gay. Yes im bitter.

The trope is overused. It often just feels like lazy character design when they draw a girl and say it's actually a guy and vice versa for reverse traps. They often are poorly written characters. There can be good traps too though.

Traps are diet gay.

Diet anything sucks. Diet coke is for faggots and traps are the Diet Coke of the gay world so if you like traps that makes you a double faggot.

I have no problem with traps personally, but it's the people who like them sexually and refuse to identify as being gay or bi; not that there's anything wrong with being one of the two, but the lack of honesty is infuriating.

I use to have a bit of an obsession with gender-bender (dunno why, since I aint gay or bi), but then I just stopped caring as much. I appreciate a good trap/reverse trap here and there though.


As for favorite traps (yes, I read the whole OP):

Aikawa Kizuna from Prunus Girl
The dude from Naruto (he was Zabuzas lover or something)
Gen Shiomi from Shitei Bouryoku Shoujo Shiomi-chan (From the creator of Midori Days)
Randou Masashi from Pretty Face

I'm not a fan. I never got a laugh about the joke, as it's just a one time "Hah, you got fooled I'm actually a guy!" and then continues to be irrevant the rest of the series. It's also just annoying to be like "Oh that is actually a guy" every time they enter frame.

In short, traps are gay.

Traps in Anime have been mostly used as a means for comedy or fetish purposes so a majority of them will fall flat for me, aside from a few special exceptions but those exceptions are a very small margin so seeing a more serious and honest take on traps in Anime would be nice (well just more serious takes with crossdresser characters in Anime, rather than being there for gags or fetish purposes, not that I mind the 2nd option since tbh I am more surprised when some H content for them is sometimes more wholesome lol)

They wouldn't be as controversial in the west if people refered to them with their original lable 'otokonoko'.

I say "as" cuz their usage, portrayal and treatment in both anime and real life can be 'problematic' to say the least.
