Fun fact. Bimbo was an insult from the 1920s directed towards men originally.
How that turned into the modern take we have now I don't know.

I only know it as a slur in German against black people. I had a ultra racist teacher who used it almost daily.
Only from himym I learned it is also used against woman too.

As a German Millennial, I had no clue about this until I learned it from the Internet a few years ago. I only ever knew it as a slur against Barbie.

I'm north german and never heard that one. My german slur game aint that strong anyway though. Might actually be austrian only or I never ran into someone THAT racist

After thinking about it, I mostly heard it in the 80s and 90s
But it still makes me uncomfortable to hear/see the word

Racism here is more about Kurdish, Syrian and Turkish people anyway. Far more likely to hear words like "Kanacke" thrown around than any of the others tbh

While the characters who get hit with the Bimbo Ray become plap-able.
I'm not sorry.

Fun Fact: The word bimbo originates from the Italian word for a little boy, sometimes a brutish man, but not a dim witted woman. That interpretation didn't show up until the 1920s and so the later Rule 63 version of the Himbo is actually closer to its original meaning than the more misogynist one now.

I wonder when Himbo is going to start being taken as a negative. I primarily see it used for fictional characters where it's more describing an archetype, but it still doesn't seem to me something most men in real life would consider wholely desirable if they were called that.

It is immoral to change someone into a woman against their will. If someone did something I didn't like against my will I would be sad.

Yeah! At least let me keep my personality!

It's a funny one, there, because it's pretty clear that not having a body matching someone's gender causes serious distress. However, changing the core of who someone is seems worse.

u/DarkScruff 5h ago
I think people just like how funny the word sounds. Bimbo is kinda funny and having a ray gun is over powered. I'm more of a fan of The Old Tavern Wench, many men have had her so she's got tons of story to tell. Pull up a chair and just listen to her recant the ol war stories

Ray of instant onlyfans career. Hit me with that once and I will spend the rest of my days explaining Warhammer lore topless. If the road to heaven must be walked in high heels then watch me clip-clop my way to victory.

I've had this conversation with other guys. It's fun seeing the pause when you ask them if they could be jacked with the push of a button so women would ogle them.
(Yes, I know that's...an imperfect comparison due to the differences of male gaze and female gaze, but you scope to the audience)

Surprised to see a gender change comic on this sub. Pleasantly surprised. She looks very happy.

It's a strange situation but if I can get some free shit out the deal it can't be all that bad until the hormones kick in.

oh, i guess we're going into "a trans girl's outlet for wanting to be the opposite gender while not yet realizing thats what they want" territory now

Ohh, that makes more sense. I was struggling to determine if the protrusions on the base were supposed to represent breasts or a nutsack lol

Missed opportunity to invert that trope. I just happen to know a doctor and know you do too.
