That does look pretty effeminate. Maybe we should put it to a vote?

That last suggestion works fine.

I prefer the last suggestion to the comic.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

If we use that one, I'd argue that the comic is better than the current one at Dude Looks Like a Lady.

The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.

@25 Epicene, maybe. Effeminate? Not so sure. Certainly not ambiguous, in my view.

@25 looks more than sufficiently effeminate. Go for it.

With the broad shoulders and crotch bulge, he looks more androgynous to me. If this were about elves looking like David Bowie, maybe.

[up] "Effeminate" does not mean "easily mistaken for a women". Per Webster:

  1. having feminine qualities untypical of a man : not manly in appearance or manner
  2. marked by an unbecoming delicacy or overrefinement <effeminate art> <an effeminate civilization>

David Bowie has been pretty effeminate during most of his career.

He's pretty convincing as an evil overlord beguiling a teenage girl with his foppish virility.

edit: anyway, what I'm saying is that particular elf looks somewhat effeminate, but not particularly so for an elf, and is also masculine in some respects. He's very jeans-commercial looking to me.

I'm convinced by how female clothing tropes apply to he last pic.

Perhaps we should make a crowner and put it to a vote?

Wow...I'd say we have consensus. The new pic's up and tagged; what's it from?

We can't use that without permission. Do we have it?

We have rules for fanart images. I think a mod has to ask the artist for permission.

Anybody can ask for permission from the artist; the important thing is that we aren't just co-opting the image.

I just checked the site, and I didn't see an e-mail for him...I wonder if someone would have to actually join that forum to get his contact info.

We have permission, so I've put the image back up. I don't know why, but the reply I got amused me a little. smile

Greetings Mr.Telcontar!

I'm deeply honored and even humbled that you've chosen my little comic to play up the Elfeminate stereotype. Yes, I give you guys full permission to use my image. Feel free to modify it however you see fit.


I've done a caption of "The dwarf's actually a lesbian." for now. Thoughts on it?
