Is it magical realm to play a trap?

No, but it's fucking plebian to use Astolfo as your example of a trap. Why don't you stop with the flavor of the month and see some of the others we have on offer, okay?

Depends on the puffiness of his nipples (female).

Reverse traps are basically just tomboys anyway

It would raise a lot of questions, like "Why do you suddenly get uncomfortable around young girls?" and "You weren't staring at her when you thought she was a boy were you?"

In truth I've been in this scenario. Thought it would be an interesting reveal and plot twist, GM and players liked it, one player assaulted me and accused me of bringing "kiddie porn" to the table.

>making a thread before you masturbate on old Veeky Forums led to an interesting sex-based RPG with full rules for character creation and combat

>making a thread before you masturbate on new Veeky Forums just leads to OP hoping more people will post pictures of naked little boys

Magical realm specifically applies to cases where the GM is forcing something into the game against the wishes of their players. More broadly, it can apply to a player doing this instead.

Playing a trap, in a game where doing so is not appropriate and the other players do not approve, or would not approve if they knew, can be described as Magical Realm.

However, playing a character who crossdresses for a narrative reason, or as an aspect of their identity, could be an entirely valid and interesting character concept to explore in a group who were all receptive to the idea.

Sounds like the GM and sub-one other players are pedos like you are so.

Can we get some of old Veeky Forums wibe then? Who starts?

If you're playing an elven follower of Corellon Larethian then no.

I propose Maid RPG rules. Works for reverse traps just as easily.

In things like that, the overreactor is the one seeing it as a sex thing. If a shirtless girl is young enough to be mistaken for a boy, she's too young to be seen as sexual by anyone who isn't whack in the head

Why?

I guess it's kind of a Mulan thing? There's generally little reason for a boy to pretend to be a girl in not!feudal or not!Renaissance settings, so it's mostly because the player jerks off to that, but there's plenty of reason for a girl to pretend to be a boy.

Very magical realm.

But playing a trans character is pretty meta. You're a guy playing as a guy who's pretending to be a girl, rather than just playing a girl.

as long as you dont whip your dick out

Yes, always.

Ranma was the OG anime magical realm. Prove me wrong.

>Hardly, traps are the new vanilla.
You realize that vanilla and trap aren't mutually exclusive, right?

t. vanillafag who nonetheless faps to porn of any kind

Were they underage? If so you pretty much did do that and should be ashamed for it. You probably ruined that guy's game for your fetish.

Urotsukidoji had tentacle rape, monster rape, rape machines, castration, and all manner of nasty shit.

If you saw an adolescent girl at a beach playing in swim trunks, would you have a problem with it?

>If you saw an adolescent girl at a beach playing in swim trunks, would you have a problem with it?
Probably, though I'm not going to engage with their parents over the subject since they're a stranger.

Ranma is one of those things that happened all the time in old anime where you get something that, if played straight, would be a super interesting exploration of gender and social roles and how people interact with their world.

But, instead it's played for comedy.

Ranma's definitely 10/10 magical realm amazing though. Where's a jusenkyo curse when your need one?

>Probably
Then you are seeing young girls as sexual. Please do something about that because that is terrible

...

Yes.

Is it magical real to play an androgynous person or an effeminate male that dresses like a woman?

No.

What's the difference? Trap has a sexual connotation.

Yes

wew lad

Is it better that traps look all feminine or have boyish traits?

i prefer to know that im sticking my duck into a man, albeit a slender and feminine one

like naga ichis boys

>all these plebs

It's only magical realm if they actually wear women's clothes. If they're just girlish dudes who can me mistaken for women that's fine. Fantasy and mythology are full of androgynous heroes that get routinely mistaken for girls. It's a purity thing.

Also, 'magical realm' specifically refers to when a GM is forcing their fetishes on the players through the setting.

After the thug was kicked out the DM decided to take a minor bit of throwaway lore from earlier and decide that she was a runaway noble avoiding an arranged marriage between two houses, so it turned into an entire quest to solve that shenanigan.

So no, the game wasn't ruined for anyone except someone who is an un-person who has no self control.

Don't be rude, Toho.

>sticking my duck into a man

By using the connotation of trap it is heavily implied that is exactly what will happen. Stop being obtuse

>Fantasy and mythology are full of androgynous heroes that get routinely mistaken for girls
This

Almost always yes. I suppose that there are some situations where it could be reasonable and interesting, but if you specifically refer to your character as a trap when first envisioning I doubt you could pull it off.

For example a boy raised as a girl in an amazon tribe could potentially be interesting if you treat it more like "wow what a fucked up childhood your mother was forced to raise you as a girl instead of leaving you to die." Even then gender shouldn't directly be their core focus their core focus should be on confusing and convoluted ideas of what they consider strength, femininity, and masculinity having been a boy raised as a girl in a society inhabited entirely by women.

Of course this isn't what you want OP what you want is a character that looks like a girl but is actually a boy so that you can masturbate to your character getting gangraped by Orcs or something when you get home from a session or under your desk during the game if your game is over the internet.

A trap is a trap whether heavily sexualized or not.

I guarantee you that, even if no sexual undertones were portrayed by a character who made this sort of reveal, people would call them a trap anyway (or a reverse trap, if it's the opposite scenario). Stop being such a touchy little girl about it, it's just the vernacular people use.

This.

im quackers

>tfw playing brutish, rugged mercenary acting as the de facto bodyguard for an androgynous noble who keeps up a steady stream of flirting

fug his boipucci

I'd get out of there, hombre.

>The only relevance a trap has is its sexual value, or lack thereof
>Is this magical realm?

No clue boss.

>>The only relevance a trap has is its sexual value, or lack thereof
But that's wrong

Then why call them traps?

Did your noble whore himself to old men before?

It's shorthand for 'androgynous boy'

Its short for "boy who looks like an attractive woman." The whole reason that the term trap gained popularity was by tricking people with them.
>Ha ha that cute girl you masturbated to actually has a penis

Yes, and?

As far as I know, no.

wtf i love penis now

See I was going to explain how language works and the fairly simple concept that traps are inherently sexual in nature, and therefore magical realm, but you don't actually want to listen.

Good thing I waited to find out there was no point in bothering.

This is like saying playing anyone attractive is inherently sexual.

It's not a question of "is", but "do".

Just because it's a boy who looks like a woman, aka attractive, doesn't mean that it's an inherently sexual term. It is, however, gender related, which might be what you're looking for. The fact remains that there's a lot more you can do with the 'trap' trait than just sex, just like a girl who codes as male isn't just a tomboy sex object. See Mulan.

>Being unable to explain away your autistic aversion to the phrase trap.

See

I don't know why you're uploading accurate artist depictions of yourself, it's not exactly relevant.

What do we roll for?

Oh sorry, I take that back. At least you can get about without a crash helmet.

Your pic even has you on the nametag. Clearly you are talking about you and not him.

>this is my fetish and I didn't even know it.
Sheeit my nigga
And I bet they're actually headstrong in combat in excess of their capability. One day after a particularly rough run in with some mercenaries whoms'tdv have bad blood with my leige's family in helping to teens to their wounds. Their puffy nipples poking through their sheer tunic they hold to their chest. Still unsure on female or male. Still unsure on if I care.

I didn't know he'd have such a problem unpacking the difference between being and doing.

>And I bet they're actually headstrong in combat in excess of their capability

It's nearly gotten my character killed twice stepping in to pull his bacon out of the fire. Angry (in character) recriminations have been met with 'well, that's what I pay YOU for' and 'you're in love, aren't you.'

The offers of healing (char is specced with the skill) are not helping my dumb brute work through his feelings any.

Ever heard of the Chevalier D'Eon? He was a French spy (male(female(male))). Niggas had to examine his corpse after his death just to figure out his real gender.

He's a fatefag, so yes. Chev appears in that as a Saber.

>Also, 'magical realm' specifically refers to when a GM is forcing their fetishes on the players through the setting.

Not true, magical realm can easily come from a player, it doesn't solely have to be a GM thing to classify it as magical realm. Magical realm is classified as introducing elements of the player or GMs fetishes in the game.

Those are not the hips of a man!

not a man but a boi

fuccboi

Maybe this thread can answer this question for me:

If your setting includes a race of shortstack traps in the form of cute monsterboi monkey goblins who can get pregnant, is there any way of making them not overtly magical realm?

I mean, outside of never having them flirt with the PCs nor PCs encountering pregnant gobbos giving birth, obviously.

Inherently?
No.
However, it's not something I'd let just anyone run with.

I wonder what the appeal of traps are. For some reason the "girl" having a penis is a major dealbreaker when it comes to sex and romance for me. My mind goes "naw that's gay" upon revelation of the person in question having a penis.
One important question: is "The dick makes it better" statement a meme, or are there actually a lot of people who are into crossdressing guys?

That sounds absolutely adorable.

Kiss them next time you save them. See how they react.

There is only a single rule of being a trap:

Be cute and moe.

That is all.

>Do they get pregnant by fucking things outside their species (i.e. the common folk and or players)?
If yes, it's 100% magical realm with the physical descriptions you gave. Your players will probably immediately think magical realm if you tell them that they can fuck and make babies with them (even though actually having sex with them wouldn't be 'off the table' it wouldn't immediately come to mind)

If they can only interbreed with their own race, then you'll probably be fine.

Play them any aspect that isn't related to sex or breeding, and never tell the players they're boys.

How can traps be shortstack? I thought the flatness was part of the defining package

Seems to me like you know exactly what you're doing, and you're trying to think of a way to hide them.

Just make em angery little monke savages, fairly sure that's enough. Make them biologically hermaphroditic. the players won't think twice about it when their first encounter is being ambushed by the little fucks.

Probably one of the following
1. Dominance. You like feeling powerful, and what's more powerful than sexually dominating a man? Of course that's gay so lets make the man look all girly and sexy.
2. You want to be the girly looking trap weak, feminine, and being sexually dominated by others.

>are there actually a lot of people who are into crossdressing guys?
The statement is general and there's a lot more to it. Most people (I've dated a trans girl before) tend to like the femininity of a woman but the mentality of men. After a while it becomes normalized in your mind that you wish women could just be "one of the guys" where the figurative becomes literal. Since, from that point, one guy with a personality you like also happens to have a feminine body and demeanor. Hope that makes sense, it's honestly tough to put it to words that don't sound like utter garbage spewing out with pseudo-intellectualism or over compensating bullshit.

Why are they bois if they can get pregnant?

>Bizarro-asari

Nobody would want to read sjw bullshits. Thats why japan do the right thing and make it a comedy.

Maybe they're part seahorse

>How can traps be shortstack? I thought the flatness was part of the defining package
You stack extra hips to make up for the flatness in above regions.

Thanks, doc.

Dem hips + a nice fat butt; key traits of a "proper" trap, and also the primary focus of a shortstack - tits are optional on the short gals.

Because they have the integral parts of bois. They just also happen to be hermaphroditic, because where they live, they place below some of the local vegetation on the pecking order.

So you're scared of little girls?

Why is that any more magical realm than being able to breed with elves (core), orcs (core), dwarves (Dragonlance, Kingdoms of Kalamar), gnomes (Dragonlance, Kingdoms of Kalamar), kender (Dragonlance), ogres (core), etc?
