| Wondering how other people feel about traps in anime. Do you love the sight of these adorable cross dressers or perhaps you become irritated when you discover "she" is a "he". Personally, I love them and wish there were more of them in anime even though I'm a male. |
| Traps in a cute sense: Yes In a sexual ecchi way: no |
 |
| There is nothing like a cross dressing M. Night Shamalamalan (lol) twist tossed into a good anime. |
| This is so ironic, I just got finished watching the most recent episode of Brave 10 . . . Anyway, depends how it's done. Sometimes it's epic lulz, other times it's WTF, REALLY? This man turned out to be an in-between for me: |

| Traps are ok only if they are used in comedic way like in boku as tomadaichi but if they are always coming onto the MC and end up in wierd situations it's kinda uncomfortable... I don't really mind them if they aren't the focus of the anime/manga |

How can anyone not like a trap who looks this good? |
 |
| Me because once you end up in this situation your in trouble.... |

I don't really mind them if they aren't the focus of the anime/manga Isn't that feeling of uncomfortness on purpose? Making the viewer/reader uncomfortable is a very strong way to get a story across. The Diary of Anne Frank is VERY uncomfortable but it's uncomfortable for a reason. |

| Depends, kogure is a yes for me while someone like Hideyoshi is a no ;o I don't like his twin sister either. Ardamaeus said: This man turned out to be an in-between for me: Weird, I thought of him when I saw this thread. |

| Traps make me question my masculinity. They make me cringe, bite my lip and at times HNNNG myself to death. In spite of all this, I proudly pump my fist in the air and exclaim: MY BODY IS READY. Indeed, traps are glorious. They are a guilty pleasure. AND THEY LOOK SO GOOD. |
| Everything needs more fanservice. Especially real life. |
| I've been fooled before... I find it funny. |

|
| Naoto? then YES. |
| Hmm. For me, Nay at the start. I have been fooled a lot before. But now Yay, since it gives more trouble to the protagonist... which I like watching. I just can't help but love those situations. I now have a strong feeling and determines every trap now and then, but Naoto Shirogane sure messed me up. |

| Depends a lot, if the anime is trying to force their "ecchi side", it's a nay, but otherwise they're amazingly funny, and even make awesome main characters (looking at you both, Shidou Mariya and Miyanokouji Mizuho) |

| Reverse Traps are awesome. Traps...well I just don't swing that way. Why would I ever want to see a BOY dressing/acting like an insanely cute girl, with fanservice and implying sexual stuff and so on? A little eye candy is always appreciated, but when I think that he has a dick beneath that skirt that's kinda disgusting. I don't want to have anything to do with another guy's dick. |

| Typical homophobe talk. |
|
| I'm not a fan of traps but I don't mind them. |

grandy_UiD said: Anime_Name said: Typical homophobe talk. Typical nonsense talk. Whatever. Just watch out and make sure you don't get associated with some man's penis by watching him in a dress rather than a pair of jeans. |
|
| Nay. Makes my penis confused. I don't like that feel. |
| Fake girl = Fake fake guy = Real girl = ??? = Profit. |
| They're okay in the cute sense,wouldn't fuck one. |
| lol @ img bbcode not working, mal is such a great site |
Inconscient said: Svard said: Fake girl = Fake fake guy = Real girl = ??? = Profit. This is true. Two wrongs make a right? Anyways, I don't mind my traps or reverse traps. I've seen enough to the point that's it's normal thing. I can say I usually enjoy seeing them in Anime/Manga. It's hilarious how other characters who didn't know react to them or those who do know react to them. |
| Since people have brought it up, I would say that I also like reverse traps, but would still prefer the traditional kind. |
| Traps are pretty fun, but when the trap is the cutest "girl" in the anime, it kind of freaks me out haha. But traps in general=yay. |

| They're alright for purely comedic purposes. If it gets serious or awkward then it just becomes a turn off. |
| Give me traps and no one gets hurt. |

Try watching Peacock, there's nothing comedic about the performance nor should the audience be turned on by it |

| I'm in the same boat as Okabe when it comes to traps. They're adorable and extremely cute and even attractive -- but he's a guy. |
| As a wise person once said,"Cute is justice." |
| the only ones I like are Maria from maria holic cause I get a kick out of him. hes a bastard, but still makes the show funny. and I just love the main charcter from otoboku. I forgot his name cause I haven't watched it in lik 5 years, but still he's not doing it for some perverted reason and he's not an @ss. he's a really sweat charater stuck in this situation for a promise. I think those are the only ones i've seen, unless naoto counts a a reverse one. |

 |
| oh lord have mercy for both traps and reverse traps a million times Yay. by proxy they are usually interesting characters. Its a shame though that there's not a lot of love for reverse traps at least in a starring role. Naoto from persona 4 and Makoto from the manga Yamanko! are the ones that jump to mind. There are probably more famous ones i'm forgetting though. |

| what could be wrong with a little cross-dressing - one of my favorites: maria-holic/maria-holic alive.....and of course the greatest (and i believe original): sapphire in ribbon no kishi (just finished the manga - one of tezuka's best, and that says a lot!) |
