The Semi-Official Bowsette Thread

Bowsette has proven shockingly popular in the Manga industry. Mostly among hentai people but some fairly mainstream creators have been drawing her as well.
 
I actually first saw this on trans positive meme subreddit.

Didn't even know it was blowing up out of that context until a day later.

Edit: Then I saw dudes all over the internet losing their shit if anybody said anything about the character even possibly being trans, so, that was a thing.

what the fuck. Just...wow. I'm going to lie down for a while. Nothing against the artists but like, Bowsette? Really?
 

This timeline is starting to look pretty good. It took us 9 months but it appears that the Waifu of the Year has appeared.

Oh, and although the meme started with the implication that Bowsette and Mario would just start dating there are still some pics where Bowsette still kidnaps Peach but gets an opposite reaction from her. For example:


I love the internet.
 
Honestly my only complaint here is how few artists seem to actually keep Bowser's general personality instead of just doing either standard bashful anime girl or some kind of suave, grinning domme. Come on, have you people met Bowser, he's a dumbass with the social skills of a turnip!

Design is pretty neat though.
 
Here's a Bowsette comic that is both wholesome and probably wouldn't be too out of character given how Bowser's been characterized especially for the Nintendo Switch commercials:
 
Got to say, I'm surprised how much it took off.

There was a bit of a spike after the first Twitter post last week, and I thought it peeked.

Then there was a massive spike of interest and a lot of fan artists over the weekend.

And it still kept its momentum.

I can't tell if its growing or shrinking, but its going.

I wonder if Nintendo might make something official about it, though the company has always been a bit conservative and this edges into trans territory that might make some of their employees and audience uncomfortable.


I'd be really happy if they did make something official about it.

I wonder how long this 'sub fandom' will last.

His personality does vary sometimes and over some scenes, depending on writer and many other things, but I agree overall Bowser's a big dumb brute as his usual portrayal.

Also the Memes are starting to cross-streams. I fear this is the beginning of the end for us all.

Is that the fast food icon as Wendy combined with Wario or Waluigi with the super crown?




I think the trend overall is interesting, the crown gives a 'canon excuse' to the concept.

And personification and genderswaps have always had some popularity, sometimes growing, sometimes as more an under current.


Though the crown design usually adds a crown and a Princess Peach-like dress.
Though it varies how much the artist 'Peach - ify' the art. The original looks like a mix of Bowser and Peach traits, with a heavy leaning to Peach aesthetic. Others prefer a different one.

The Japanese manga industry always had some popularity with moe personifications.

There was Strike Witches, Kantai Collection, sort of Girls Und Panzer, and a lot of monster girl and furry type things too recently.

Idols or shows like K-on could arguably be one for instruments or music.

Would he? Does the Crown change the body only or does it have effects on the mind too? That said in agreement I prefer this one:

This one gives off the vibes of him being the same arrogant barbarian warlord he always was... just now a she.

...The heck?

It's literally Bowser. Part of the appeal is that it's Bowser wearing a special hat and not just some alternate version of him where he was born female and looking like Princess Peach.

At best you could argue he's just doing it for power, which honestly I think is what's going on in my avatar. But trying to argue that Bowsette is not trans is just really odd. Like if you're thirsty for Bowsette fine but don't be a coward about it.

There's assholes flinging shit as usual when even the slightest hint of transgender material appears. I did see a number of trans-positive posts as well, so I can only hope there's more support out there than there is anti-trans stupidity.
