i dont see why people are saying this is about being an egg. its just a wolf dressing like a sheep! and then the wolf really likes it! no subtext here

Some people have discovered a brand new thing to them, which dramatically improved their lives, and because they're full of happiness, keep seeing that thing everywhere and talk constantly about it.

That or they're the Jehovah's Witnesses of the LGBTQ world.

Genuinely a really nice explanation!

That's the cool thing about art. It can be what YOU want it to be. Too many people these days forget that.

Subtext? Is that like a new hamburger or something?

Every day it gets harder for Shen to beat the allegations

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I take it Shen is suspected of being a furry?

[–] Samdell@lemmy.eco.br 26 points 1 month ago (2 children)

No, he makes occasional art that feels egg-y

Fwiw I hadn’t considered Shen’s gender to begin with, but fair.

What does egg mean in this context?

[–] FinnFooted@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A trans person who hasn't fully admitted to others (or perhaps even to themselves) that they're trans.

It's really fine just to remain an egg if someone wants. It probably just means that person was non-binary, or gender queer in some other way they were comfortable with.
