There are endless memes on the Internet. The so cute must be a boy meme is one of them. It is also a very popular meme recently. Many friends said that this meme is so interesting and they want to know more about the meaning of this meme. They have been following the editor for so long. Let’s take a look at what this meme means!
According to Yuki Yuki's manga "Kasukabe High School Women's Clothing Club", there is a very famous line: "She can't be a girl if she is so cute." This sentence was originally used by shotacons to describe the cuteness of boys, but with the passage of time and the development of popularity, this word is gradually used to describe cute characters and more and more transvestite characters in ACG works. . This also reflects that gender is no longer so important today, and appearance is no longer the only criterion for judging gender.
The popularity of this line can be traced back to the ACG two-dimensional website "Hongli", when someone made such a comment when discussing cute characters of unknown gender. After that, he appeared in "Steins;Gate", "The Hayate the Combat Butler", "Whispers", "Kasukabe High School Women's Clothes Club", "H2O -FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND-", "Bellidine of the Deep Mountain House", "The Heart of the Heart" Similar lines have also appeared in works such as "Judgment!" This shows that this sentence has become a popular expression and is quoted repeatedly in various works.
In the second season of the "Tornado Butler" animation, Haya once said this line. Similarly, in the animated version of "Whispers", the three disgusting stars also said this. Even in a certain episode of the show "Daily Violence", the evil queen said this. Such plots appear in these works, as well as in the era when images of transvestites and transvestites began to emerge, giving this sentence a sense of ridicule. That is to say, "the more cute a cute girl is, the less likely she is to be a girl, and she is most likely to be a boy." In this era, image has subverted traditional understandings of gender appearance.
Today is no longer an era of marveling at a cute girl, but an era of marveling at a girl who is too cute to be a girl. This line is more often used on barrage websites such as bilibili with the emotion of sour grapes. Girls who are obviously cute girls are deliberately described as boys to combat the admiration for the girls in the video. feeling. However, this approach backfired, and the audience became more enthusiastic about pursuing this cute image.
In this post-gender era, images such as transvestite, transvestite, Hideyoshi, and Futa have become very popular. Gender has become less important and is used to show the cute side. The line "She's so cute can't be a girl" is a mockery of traditional gender appearance standards. The change in image also makes us realize that appearance does not completely represent a person's gender, but a more diverse way of expression.
