Made an account on Bluesky because of this post. Being a Demi and seeing this pic made me go "wow, I love doing all these things with people. JoCat gets it in a way" and I appreciate it. I love how dynamic you can be making me feel excited to be dynamic as well. Keep on keeping on JoCat!
I know over on Tumblr they like to say “this, too, is yuri” whenever they connect two dots, but since when are aquariums yuri? I’m a lesbian, have I been missing out on love by failing to patronise the space station for fish?
To be fair, it's not an exclusively yuri thing, but just a common date trope that's been used in a lot of high profile yuri series (because it's an acceptable date option and there's just been more yuri lately) https://www.cbr.com/how-aquarium-dates-became-a-romantic-anime-staple/
I know it's out of nowhere, but I just wanna say that I'm glad you made it back online. Your works are among those little things that make a day better just by seeing that they exist. This set included, very nice to see.
I'm picturing an animated series (maybe animated shorts) where this guy finds and takes out various girls. It would be less about romance and more about spending time with them and making them feel loved and appreciated. 🤗
I like how based on what little personality there was with each girl in the original image, you managed to give each of them a personality and different interests that all feel appropriate for each of them. Though I feel like one of them should have taken you sparring but all of these work anyway.
Adorable as always!
Again, if there's a certified women enjoyer, it is you.
Seriously, people getting mad at this are doing it for a very, VEEEERY obvious reason that makes their opinion not matter at all.
It still baffles me that people bullied you over this masterpiece. You have my respect for treating women like women (I also loved your “I Like Girls” parody)
I still feel bad for how people canceled you
Honestly just seems like a lot of gen z and younger just act like online police and dictate what people can or can’t do
btw, someone told me you got canceled just for being openly straight. You did not deserve that if that's the case but it is just further proof that nobody is safe from cancel culture and that it attacks everyone just because.
He didn't get cancelled for being "openly straight", or neither did he get attacked by "cancel culture" (both these arguments are right-wing, anti-progressive lingo)
He got attacked by chuds for his genuine love for girls and for his trans allyship.
& the "cancel culture" thing: the term was created by conservatives to describe progressives holding them to account for their bigotry (racism, etc) to frame themselves as victims
Chuds have been "cancelling" people longer than the term existed, but it's not called "cancel culture" when they do it
It was weird, there was a buncha like, macho men types that basically mocked him for his aesthetic and style of loving girls, among other things all being too "gay/effeminate."
I still suspect it was also spurred by his allyship to trans people.
It was absolutely spurred by his support of trans rights, the chuds just decided to scattershot complaints about a bunch of his stuff to disguise their motives.
Honestly, the fact that he's in touch with his feminine side makes him more manly if you asked me. Besides, the Macho Manly stereotype is incredibly gay if you think about it.
They talk about how men need to be all big and swol and look good coated in after work out sweat.
Thanks bro! I made all of them myself and have more than I realistically know what to do with. I have a whole folder of them since Feraligatr is my favorite Pokemon of all time, and it's part of my internet persona!
You're right, but I really don't like the revisionism my fellow leftists have done over what happened to Jo.
I was there as it was all going down and it's objectively undeniable that a huge group involved was leftist radfem puritans calling him a "misogynist sex-pest".
As someone who leans left, I agree hard on this. Revisionism is genuinely one of the absolute biggest acts of cowardice there is.
I could also go on about the rampant weaponization of one's own/other people's traumas to morally justify bullying and harassing strangers, but that's for another day.
Mostly what I saw was a bunch of TERFs trying to pretend it was a leftist backlash against him when, in reality, it was mostly TERFs angry at him supporting trans folks.
Consider: The backlash came long after he released the girls video, but shortly after he released pro trans rights content.
I'm certain TERFs did kick a fuss over it. But it's actually a very TERFy attitude that I'm seeing pervade leftist spaces that also independently pushed the dogpiling onto Jo. Coat misandry and traditional gender roles in faux-progressive psychobabble and it seems uncritical people eat it up, sadly.
It was so strange, they were presented with a straight femboi and they just could not compute to the point they were convinced it must be some kind of predatory ploy. I felt so bad for him, it was not fair.
There clearly is a degree of misandry and heterophobia, for lack of a better word, among progressive spaces that has no place and should be expunged. And I completely understand why people are nervous to acknowledge that, but if we don't then we're no better at critical thinking than conservatives.
I’ve noticed that some actions queer women/NB do that’s called “Sapphic” gets called “creepy” is a guy does it. Historically, it’s not like guys earned any benefit of the doubt though, but still.
That becomes a "No True Scotsman" fallacy, though. Ultimately what you or anyone personally believes about what to label them, fact remains they're in our community.
Cause at this point the only reason I can find justice in how stupid these people are is that its a genetic disability and they actually can't help but be intellectually insufficient.
When he first posted his response image a few years ago, some people got really mad at him for it claiming his de-objectification of the women was insincere (which, imo, is just projection).

The missus practically did a "Wake up honey, new JoCat just dropped" ~ <3
Keep being a wonderful light and bring more joy to those around you, Jocat.
We love you.
It just brings this great warm smile to my face. Absolute date goals ✨^__^✨
Is that Turnip-28? Are those swine-riders?
Not words just screaming encouragingly.
Artists Preference perhaps?
There's just something about them. . .
But, alas, we will never know.
I love this one! You’re so real for making this
Internet weirdos for some reason: "Let's make fun of this guy who likes girls!"
Hold strong, JoCat. The world needs people like you.
Girls cool
Girls valid
Don't matter the size, shape, or personality. Girls rock <3

The Dragon of Dojima...
Honestly just seems like a lot of gen z and younger just act like online police and dictate what people can or can’t do
I respect that ^-^
As far as I'm concerned you're cool.
He got attacked by chuds for his genuine love for girls and for his trans allyship.
JoCat ain't that. That's why the chuds' number one whine is that he made "liking women gay", because they're allergic to genuine appreciation.
Chuds have been "cancelling" people longer than the term existed, but it's not called "cancel culture" when they do it
THAT'S Cancel Culture if you ask me. What conservatives call that is actually just people being held accountable for their actions.
I still suspect it was also spurred by his allyship to trans people.
Jo is just one of the best dudes online.
They talk about how men need to be all big and swol and look good coated in after work out sweat.
Sounds pretty gay to me.
"Just don't go forcing your fetish onto others"
That's what they say, right?
Perhaps they should take their own advice?
I was there as it was all going down and it's objectively undeniable that a huge group involved was leftist radfem puritans calling him a "misogynist sex-pest".
We have to confront that.
I could also go on about the rampant weaponization of one's own/other people's traumas to morally justify bullying and harassing strangers, but that's for another day.
Consider: The backlash came long after he released the girls video, but shortly after he released pro trans rights content.
Feminists believe in equality between all genders regardless thereof.
Feminazi's just want women to rule the world and everyone else can just get fucked.
If these people attacked him just because he was a straight man with a connection +>
The only extreme we support in this house is Extreme Sports.
My Feminist sister even says that radfem extremists are missing the whole point. Feminism is about equality and fairness, not revenge.
Purity culture is inherently reactionary and so id call those supposed radfems reactionary idiots.
Cause at this point the only reason I can find justice in how stupid these people are is that its a genetic disability and they actually can't help but be intellectually insufficient.
Personally I'm with JoCat, my answer to the question is "Yes"
Also, he's been a KiwiFarms target for years
also i agree with a few comments here we should get you a bigger wardrobe XD
