    I don’t really like this, it implies that wanting to be Fem is something that could be solved with therapy. I’m also not sure why this is being posted again.

        this is how i meant it to be interpreted, yes. im not sure about the femboy side, but i often see male friends start going to the gym or start trying improve their life in other ways after they’ve broken up with someone or gone through something hard, this is what the joke is about

        I can understand that, but then wouldn’t the same conclusion only be reached faster with therapy?

      its different now, and like i said last time im not saying that any one of the two is better or worse than the other, or bad, hence the castles being covered over. im not sure how much clearer i can make this its really pissing me off at this point

        Well no but it still implies that both paths are a result of no therapy, and if the person did have therapy they wouldn’t be going down either path. In case it’s not clear - the meme also paints body building as a result of no therapy.

          im not saying either cant happen without therapy being involved here. your taking a simple joke far too seriously. once again, as per your edit, you clearly misunderstand my point of covering the castles, its as if your literally ignoring what im trying to say here. want me to write “boys when they have unaccepting parents”? you will come and complain again because it apparently wouldnt happen otherwise because i didnt mention that in the post

    I knew a guy that was completely mentally broken. He was a massive weeb but also went to the gym incessantly, while taking supplements (and I’m pretty sure some steroids thrown in), and struggled with body dysmorphia. The result was a big ripped dude that absolutely loved Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, wore weeb shirts all the time, and built Gundam models.

    He’s getting the mental help he needs now (I hope he still is anyway), but I feel like I was one of the few people that got through to him. He was basically a broken kid inside of a man’s body. Went through a lot of trauma growing up.
