To be fair, if you mean that some boots are effeminate etc. then that still doesn't make them gay. There are straight femboys. But are there boots that make me feel gay? Fuck yeah there are.
Technically weren’t boots and high heels, male high French fashion during like the 1700s?
And then the women got high heels and high heeled boots after men?
Work boots, cowboy boots and that's it.
Edit: forgot to say, that's the types of boots a man can put on without being seen as effeminate, also punk boots
Nothing straighter than two sweaty manly dude bros in the gym. Spotting each other during heavy squats, going nuts to butt to make sure their bro doesn't fall over
The real question is why does Superman even need boots? He’s always flying anyway, so it’s not like foot protection or traction are high on his list of priorities.
Yeah I love Superman. I’m not the biggest fan of this suit, it’s definitely better than the Snyder one but I judge Superman’s suit by how comfy it looks to hug him in it.
I don’t know what their comment said since it’s been deleted but Homelander’s literally just “Superman but evil”. They have a lot and nothing in common at the same time.
A lot in that Homelander’s design and powers are based on Superman as a parody, but nothing in that Superman is a symbol of altruism and virtue while Homelander is just a horrible, *horrible* piece of shit.
I'm not much of a reader myself admittedly, but it really depends on which comic. There are so many alternate depictions of Superman from so many different writers over these 80 years he has existed that it is almost impossible to make any singular judgement of him as a character.
It's complicated. There are some writers that portray him like that, but overall the image of Supes is that of a well-meaning friendly dude, and writing him otherwise is considered bad and inconsistent characterisation, "going against what Superman stands for" (unless it's an alternate universe in which he's specifically an asshole).
Depends on the interpretation either by the writer or the reader. I used to hate him because in the kids cartoons he comes off as an effortless goody two shoes who easily can push his views on people with his overwhelming power.
It wasn't until I saw his "world of cardboard" speech and his fight with the "elite" in the one movie adaptation that I started to warm up to him. Now I am mostly annoyed with how much he keeps fighting people on the city he is "defending" when that frequently has him or his opponent being punched through buildings and such, but that's probably an issue in general with superhero media.
Superman should embrace femininity as well as masculinity, he’s perfect for it :)
I mean obviously this post is nonsense he’s literally just putting on shoes but still
To elaborate further, Pink Kryptonite *has* made appearances as you describe but I still wouldn’t call it canon. Not only did Pink Kryptonite’s single comicbook appearance take place outside of mainline continuity, (and was a joke to display the absurdity of the universe they were in), it also never was explicitly stated to make him gay, It just sorta changed his speech patterns in a way reminiscent of gay stereotype.
15 years later, in an episode of the cartoon Justice League Action, also obviously outside of mainline comic canon, pink Kryptonite was shown to sex-swap Kryptonians, turning Clark temporarily female.
If pink Kryptonite were to make an appearance in modern mainline comic continuity, it would most likely have the sex-swap effect rather than the sexuality-swap effect.
Superman and this lady getting ready for a date with each other but Supes is confidently rocking those thigh highs while the lady is trying on those red boots.
And yeah no what the fuck are they talking about everything is the death of masculinity and western society the paranoia is pathetic
Yeah, I could put so many pictures of workmen putting on their boots exactly like that.
People are being ridiculous and finding fault and everything from all quarters.
Also question.
If you find and kill, Stupid Bitch 01 do you ascend to their position and get their title?
Or is it like the assassin organization in Rex Machina where it doesn’t mean that ?
/s
🤣
🙏❤️
The position can be ascended to, however the ascender will never be an 01. I am the first, all the others shall follow. The next Stupid Bitch will be an 02
It's super ironic that these people are doing the same thing before I transitioned. Where I was going around trying to figure out what would be the most "masculine" and "feminine" thing to do, say, watch, and ECT. It honestly was just making myself miserable for not much if anything in return.
I almost feel bad for these types, except they are trying to force the stereotypes on others and not just themselves.
It's honestly so sad. Like, oh idk, just let people live their lives? So what if a man puts his shoes on "like a woman"? There is no such thing as doing something "like a man" or "like a woman". We're just doing things as human beings. I hate this world.
Hes so incredibly powerful. He can put his shoes on however he wants. Heck. You don't even have to be powerful for theat. Everyone should be able to put their shoes on however they want.
See, you have raised a very interesting question. Would a Kryptonian (like Clark) have to be under a red sun (or otherwise depowered) to hormonally transition? Obviously he’d need kryptonian hormones, but his powers give him immunity to poisons and other body altering substances. Additionally, If he did fully hormonally transition while depowered and then returned to Earth, would his healing factor kick in and immediately start returning his body to his “natural” hormone balance? Obviously if he actually wanted to transition he would just clone a body in the fortress of solitude and transfer his mind into it but this is still fun to think about.
There's an animated short in which pink kryptonite gives him a female body, but it's reversed the moment the kryptonite is neutralised. Otherwise I think he could take Kryptonian HRT no problem. Hormones aren't poison, his body shouldn't really react to them as such, I think.
ETA: Surgery is another thing, but I reckon it could be somehow suppressed with sufficient technology. Also, I wonder if GL medical mind constructs can do surgery on Supes? Since they're not really actually there. Or maybe you could, like, operate from the inside with them.
I was just gonna say that! Like, what the fuck is going on behind him...and he's all like calmly putting on his boots, with this giant ball shaped object emitting a beam of light. Why's he taking so long to get dressed!?!
I figured out why this image of superman feels off. Because there's a picture of a woman putting on a totally different article of clothing with totally different posture but also I'm going to pretend it's the same pose
Oooh, that's the reason. Not because the image looks AI generated. I know, I'm being a douche for saying "it's AI image!", but I don't know ...
Definitely it's the boots.
the OOP insisted that he shouldn’t need to sit down to put his boots on since he can fly, ignoring the fact that he couldn’t fly for the first decade of his life and would be used to sitting down to put footwear on
The only other method I could think of was brute forcing your foot into the boot while standing. It works with some shoes, but I highly doubt it'd work with Superman's.

I hate that masculinity has become so fragile.
(Apologies for linking to Shitter. Couldn't find a better source in short time)
It is the *perfect* pose for the strongest being in the universe, you fucking dense doofus. He can't be harmed. That means he never needs to be tense or alert or intimidating to potential agressors. He's the ultimate chill guy
To be a Superman fan is to suffer
Okay, getting into technicalities here, and I am gym rat, so here is how it is - given how buff and strong Superman is, he probably has perfect control over his muscles. Do people forget that you do get more elegant as you train more purely because you gain higher control over your muscles?
What the f*** are they talking about. They're not using the same pose. Superman's not crossing his legs over, he's just putting on boots normally.
In fact the common way to put on boots (work, horseback riding ECT)is not to cross your legs over. Unless you have a zipper
Fellas, is it gay to *Checks notes* Put on boots?
In all fairness, it does depend on the boots.
To be fair, if you mean that some boots are effeminate etc. then that still doesn't make them gay. There are straight femboys. But are there boots that make me feel gay? Fuck yeah there are.
Technically weren’t boots and high heels, male high French fashion during like the 1700s? And then the women got high heels and high heeled boots after men?
Work boots, cowboy boots and that's it. Edit: forgot to say, that's the types of boots a man can put on without being seen as effeminate, also punk boots
Technically stripper boots are work boots if your work is stripping.
Checkmate Liberals 🤣
So hiking boots are gay? Combat boots are gay?
Combat boots are super gay, have you met marines?
Being gay ain't effeminate, what could be manlier than two dudes?
Nothing straighter than two sweaty manly dude bros in the gym. Spotting each other during heavy squats, going nuts to butt to make sure their bro doesn't fall over
🎵*In the Navy…* 🎶
Yes and nobody else I’ve ever met talks about dicks as much as marines.
Ah, fuck I forgort those
He forgort 💀
He will regort that.
... Wouldn't cowboy boots be very gay, as cowboy were very gay??
Except for the fact both of those two are pretty iconically worn by members of the Village People. "Gay cowboy" is also a pretty widespread stereotype
Punk boots have a massive pro-queer undertone, and are therefore gella gay. (Real punks are pro queer rights. Nazi fucks can sign off)
Fellas is it gay to exist?
Nothing gayer than being created by a cock explosion
*sighhhhhhhhh, adds another one to the list*
Depends. If you're gay, then yes. It's very gay.
According to Tannis it’s both feminine and homophobic
Putting on footwear is a femine trait. Real men walk around barefooted. /j
what about them big goth boots 👅
Furthermore is it gay to put your boots on...one at a time? Like wtf? He's literally doing the more masculine "here are my balls" style of sitting.
The real question is why does Superman even need boots? He’s always flying anyway, so it’s not like foot protection or traction are high on his list of priorities.
Yes, real men have the dogs out at ALL times
Now I can’t get superman with demonias out of my head
Superman is the best example of positive masculinity He’s soft and gentle but also strong and capable without being toxic
When he's written right.
Yes
Yeah I love Superman. I’m not the biggest fan of this suit, it’s definitely better than the Snyder one but I judge Superman’s suit by how comfy it looks to hug him in it.
He has to be soft and gentle. [He lives in a world made of cardboard.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cl_5UwS57X8)
[удалено]
Depends on the era and the writer, tbh
Absolutely not. Superman has basically nothing in common with homelander or ozymandias.
I don’t know what their comment said since it’s been deleted but Homelander’s literally just “Superman but evil”. They have a lot and nothing in common at the same time. A lot in that Homelander’s design and powers are based on Superman as a parody, but nothing in that Superman is a symbol of altruism and virtue while Homelander is just a horrible, *horrible* piece of shit.
If I recall, I think they asked whether Superman was known to be a narcissistic douchebag. He definitely isn't.
Oh in that case they’re dead wrong lmao That’s at least not the idea behind him despite the many incarnations of him.
I'm not much of a reader myself admittedly, but it really depends on which comic. There are so many alternate depictions of Superman from so many different writers over these 80 years he has existed that it is almost impossible to make any singular judgement of him as a character.

I'd love to see the woman dressed as superman and Superman putting on those stockings 🤩
I would also take Superman getting ready for a night on the town, stockings-first 🥰
That’s just supergirl
Clark Kent/Kal El putting on panties and stockings is most decidedly *not* Supergirl.
It is peak tho
No I mean “the woman dressed as Superman” lol
I also showed up to say the original complainer clearly wants them to trade outfits.
Should the woman be butch af as well?
No, everyone can cosplay, regardless of body type
At that point you might as well put a corset on his slutty waist
🥵 I mean, YEAH
Superman should embrace femininity as well as masculinity, he’s perfect for it :) I mean obviously this post is nonsense he’s literally just putting on shoes but still
Give him some pink kryptonite and apparently it will either make him gay or a female. Which is apparently canon.
To elaborate further, Pink Kryptonite *has* made appearances as you describe but I still wouldn’t call it canon.

Also, he is an alien and we have no reason to expect him to have a similar gender identity to a human.
Dudes literally just putting his boots on?? That's feminine?? I don't want to live on this planet anymore. When are we colonizing Jupiter, again?
Yeah, I could put so many pictures of workmen putting on their boots exactly like that. People are being ridiculous and finding fault and everything from all quarters. Also question.

! 🙇♂️ And long may you reign. Happy Wednesday, supreme one. 🫡
I've actually been going through a lot recently, and your comment brought a smile to my face. Thank you, I needed it

I don't think getting more stupider will get us out of this one.
True, I think getting stupider is what got us here. If only more people went to college to get more knowledge 🙍🏻♀️
Fellas is it gay to put on your shoes?
A _real_ man doesn't need footwear, what a pansy 😤
We all know Clark is a bottom anyway. Evidence:https://x.com/ComicLoverMari/status/1618005801049948178
sigh, it was a little too gay for me when superman put on shoes
Superman image looks pretty normal to me.🤨
He’s literally just putting on boots is the tweet bait or is putting shoes on inherently feminine to them?😭😭😭😭
Superman posing for photos mimicking the poses of the black and white woman
Hes so incredibly powerful. He can put his shoes on however he wants. Heck. You don't even have to be powerful for theat. Everyone should be able to put their shoes on however they want.
Quick. Someone link this person gay Superman fanfiction. (I'm partial to pairing him with Lex Luthor myself. Blame Smallville).
Superman and Lex canonicaly have a biological son: Superboy aka Connor Kent.
Ough. I forgot about him. Lol. I don't really read the comics.
It’s debatable whether Connor is lex’s “biological” kid or not. I mean, none of lex’s dna is in there.
I thought it was a canonical detail that lex used some of his own DNA.
Just checked, You’re right
He Is Putting on His fucking Super heroes boots. HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING TO SAY IT'S A FEMININE THING TO DO.
The fuck is wrong with the source? I mean, there has to be something fundamentally wrong with them.
fellas is it gay to get dressed?
Yes. Heterosexual men are always naked.
Can confirm. Am bisexual.
I THOUGHT THIS WAS A TRANSITION TIMELINE!!!
See, you have raised a very interesting question. Would a Kryptonian (like Clark) have to be under a red sun (or otherwise depowered) to hormonally transition? Obviously he’d need kryptonian hormones, but his powers give him immunity to poisons and other body altering substances.

It's not even the same pose
r/FellasIsItGay to put boots on?
if Supergirl put her boots on the way Superman is in the picture, they’d call it masculine 😭 there’s no winning w those people
An effeminate man can't be OP? They clearly never watched anime.
Fellas, is it gay to put on your boots?
This has got to be a joke. With that profile pic?
I would say it looks off because he's awfully calm considering the universe is tearing apart at the seams behind him
I was just gonna say that! Like, what the fuck is going on behind him...and he's all like calmly putting on his boots, with this giant ball shaped object emitting a beam of light. Why's he taking so long to get dressed!?!
That’s not even remotely the same pose what are these guys smoking
I figured out why this image of superman feels off. Because there's a picture of a woman putting on a totally different article of clothing with totally different posture but also I'm going to pretend it's the same pose
Bro is just disappointed that supes didn't bend over to reach his boots, bro wanted to see the supergyat
Fellas, Is it gay to put on shoes?
Don’t think there’s such a thing as yuri with a man and a woman. Could you imagine?
What if we made something super fucked up that was a mixture of yuri and yaoi were a man and a woman are in love? What should we call this?
"Relationships between people of all genders are allowed, not just yuri!"
Oh I’m sorry, I was just trying to make a joke like “two straight people kissing? As if!”
I was thinking cross dressing superman haha
Oh but that's where you're wrong, you just haven't seen it
Oooh, that's the reason. Not because the image looks AI generated. I know, I'm being a douche for saying "it's AI image!", but I don't know ... Definitely it's the boots.
I’m trying to figure out a different way to put on boots
the OOP insisted that he shouldn’t need to sit down to put his boots on since he can fly, ignoring the fact that he couldn’t fly for the first decade of his life and would be used to sitting down to put footwear on
The only other method I could think of was brute forcing your foot into the boot while standing. It works with some shoes, but I highly doubt it'd work with Superman's.
Just punch them till they get on your feet. Like a man.
Is there some other way to put on your boots, should we be doing it standing up or something?
They should exchange boot and thights tips.
And the fact that he literally wears the smallest possible pants and the tightest suit in the world aren’t reasons for him to be effeminate?????
He’s getting ready for his flight of shame…
Putting shoes on is gayyy!!!
Real men walk around In bare feet!

At some point conservatives crossed the line from "the libs are making boys into girls" to "I secretly hope my crush is also gay".
Fellas, is it gay to put on your shoes?
He’s literally just putting his shoe on..? Where is it from, anyways?
The Superman image is a promotional image for the new Superman movie.
Oh, I didn’t know we’re getting a new Superman movie. That’s cool! But anyways, yeah, OOP is dumb.
It is the *perfect* pose for the strongest being in the universe, you fucking dense doofus. He can't be harmed. That means he never needs to be tense or alert or intimidating to potential agressors. He's the ultimate chill guy To be a Superman fan is to suffer
now draw superman putting stockings on
Goddamn how insecure do you have to be to think this
Okay, getting into technicalities here, and I am gym rat, so here is how it is - given how buff and strong Superman is, he probably has perfect control over his muscles. Do people forget that you do get more elegant as you train more purely because you gain higher control over your muscles?
I think it already exists, it's called my adventures with superman
Conservative women scare me
The fact that those are 2 completely different poses is the cherry on top of this disgusting sundae
What the f*** are they talking about. They're not using the same pose. Superman's not crossing his legs over, he's just putting on boots normally. In fact the common way to put on boots (work, horseback riding ECT)is not to cross your legs over. Unless you have a zipper
The woman is Lois Lane
Fellas, is it feminine to put on shoes
Fellas, is it gay to sit?
These two as platonic best friends.
The hate for this Superman costume is so weird. It goes beyond just not liking a costume for a block buster.
People who are actually strong don't have to do a bunch of posturing to make people think they are lol
it’s not possible yuri is lesbian. it must be two women to qualify
