sunshineYON Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 What are your overall impressions when it comes to traps? Why are there so many these days? What role do they play? Discuss. I personally like them for some odd and sexually perverted, twisted reason. Here's some traps that can be used for references: [spoiler=Watarase Jun] [spoiler=Shidou Mariya] [spoiler=Ayasaki Hermione(My personal favorite)] [spoiler=Hideyoshi Kinoshita] [spoiler=And our FE favorite] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dat Nick Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) Zelos is more of a pretty boy than a trap. Although I guess he kinda looks like a trap in that pic. Oh, and hate isn't the word I'd use, but it's the only synonym for dislike I was given. Edited March 25, 2010 by s Portsman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandjackal Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Surprisingly, the only one I could remember from an actual anime or manga that I've seen a trap was Hellsing, and I absolutely hate that manga. I post it for traps' sake, because there's a major problem with his character: The whole nazi thing. It's like "Ooh, delicious trap-" nazi "FUCK you Hellsing, why must you make something so delicious suddenly suck in one move!?" Bastards... Als, @Ninja: I think Bridget is so obviously known at this point that posting him would be redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank goodness Vika isn't one... Actually I didn't know who Bridget was so I googled, "Bridget Trap" I'm liking what I'm seeing ...except some rather disturbing pictures... google images always tend to throw one or two in there.

Lol, I just found him to be insignificant in general, didn't even let the nazi thing bother me... also, did not know who Bridget was until now Actually played Guilty Gear before, but I just kinda assumed he was a girl. A trap's job well done I guess Edited March 25, 2010 by Deretsun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ein Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 So far the only traps I've fallen for are Lucius and Hideyoshi. Lucius being the first I encountered. I have nothing against them but sometimes you just can't tell whether someone is a boy or girl... Which is the point but still. I had so much fun telling my friends that Bridget was a boy.

sunshineYON Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 My cousin spotted Bridget as a trap right away. And he was only seven. Is that even possible? Unless by sheer luck? From the looks of it Bridget's name 100% girl, Bridget's looks is 100% girl, Bridget's demeanor and voice... don't quite remember, haven't played Guilty Gear in a while. Also, I'm assuming your cousin, if he/she spotted Bridget, he/she would have deemed him a boy, instead of a trap, unless he/she already knew what a trap was :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solanum Tuberosum Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) I think they're alright. Depends on the character though. Also your picture of Hideyoshi is actually his sister, Yuuko. Kinoshita has two white hairbands on the front of his hair, like my avatar. Edited March 25, 2010 by Piemanmj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, its random but, I noticed that Hideyoshi looks a lot like Rita from Tales of Vesperia. I thought you had her as your avatar for a bit...

Can't recall the picture in the Character Select screen, though, as he said where it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inactive Account Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Confusing at first. After the reveal, I don't really care. Of course, I'm usually not paying too much attention anyway, unless it's a guy who turns out to be a girl. If there isn't a reveal... CONFUSING. I think there's one of these at my school, this incredibly pretty... person. I thought e was a girl at first due to the long hair and fairly neutral clothing, but later on I realized that I really couldn't tell. I'm currently theorizing that e's a pretty guy, but I still really can't tell. Very confusing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm... traps in real life, dare I say, is virtually impossible to pull off, unless, I guess if they are before puberty. But part of what defines traps are they're ability to be sexually attractive to the same sex, which kinda rules out the children thing, unless you were a pedo. In anime, traps are so easy to make because a talented artist can really make things look ambiguous, in terms of a character's sex, in certain cases, like with Jun, can basically make them look like 100% girl and just say that it is a male, and there you go, no dispute, you have a trap. In real life, there are crossdressers and other weird people like that I guess, though they are just weird. : [ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inactive Account Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I dunno, it's not that hard to be mistaken for the other gender. I've been mistaken by a guy before (and while I'm tall and do wear somewhat masculine clothes, I'm not really shaped like a boy...) and one of my cousins made a pretty convincing girl (read: prettier than his sister and more likely to get hit on) until he hit 6'. On a lighter note, I refuse to believe that Marluxia (from Kingdom Hearts) is a guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
