As a gay-man that reads kinky feedist erotica I will sometimes see a sort of masculine-coded humiliation transformation, where the object of affection starts acting “ slobish”, stops shaving There body hair, etc. And this happens while There gaining weight. Sort of becoming the sitcom-Dad image of masculinity, the pov character will often stay thinner and more fem/gym-meterosexual-gay stereotype coded
That’s interesting. Okay, audience, do we think the “fat, hairy, sitcom-dad” image of masculinity represents an emasculated archetype (or some kind of failure to live up to “true” masculinity), or is just a variant? Because afaict some people seem to find many of those traits attractive.
Well I think the “slob[b]ish” degeneration angle is important, a gay man who cultivates a fat, hairy body is a bear.
