Introducing… FEM 2.0!!!

(edited to add more details)

Fem is an original character i made back in 2021. i rlly loved his design and so he’s been very special for me. he’s gotten lots of redesigns with his actual design, his lore, and even his gender! originally i was gonna make him non-binary, but later made him male as to not have to force people to use they/them pronouns. later on i grew up and matured and so i made him non-binary again, but recently, i found myself myself having conflicting feelings with pronouns, and nowadays go by any, so eventually settled on he/they for Fem’s pronouns, and i feel like it makes sense.

now Fem’s name is very simple, mainly because im not good at coming up with character names, and i wanted to give him a better name. but after seeing how Friday Night Funkin’s characters are named so literally, (example, Boyfriend, Girlfriend, Monster) i decided to just leave his name as simply ‘Fem’. which is pretty funny.

Fem’s lore is heavily rooted in my struggles with porn addiction. He has monstrous abilities (such as spiking up his own body) in order to protect himself from creeps wanting his body. ig going straight to the extremity of sexual harassment is my way of venting my frustrations with my porn addiction, and so Fem has powers to fuck people up who try to harass him.

Fem is also AroAce and Sex-Indifferent, which is just my own sexuality. Not to make being AroAce mean u hate sex via trauma or just in general. I just think it makes sense thematically for his character considering its my sexuality too.


now his current and most recent redesign is heavily based in Newgrounds. ive started to rlly like this sight a whole lot and now Fem is somewhat based on Pico and just the edginess of Newgrounds.

You could say Fem is my own attempt at a Newgrounds mascot, since thats kinda how i envision him now.

Fem represents sexual addiction and how to overcome it. Fuck up ur addiction and kick it in the balls!!! That’s what Fem would do, and you should too.

Fem is also AroAce representation ig, idk if he’s GOOD representation, but he does wear skimpy clothing and thats pretty much inspired by the Asexual model Yasmin Benoit, who is a model who also wears skimpy clothing. So its subverting ur expectations and not following Asexual stereotypes.

Fem basically into sexual media but not to the point where he wants to indulge in it, i mean he’s a porn addict so he physically likes it, but mentally feels disconnected from it, like me.


So yeah, thats Fem! i hope you guys like him! i love him so much and i hope to do more with him someday. You can officially declare him as part of the ‘Bridgham-verse’ now! lol xP

Read it all through. You seem to wear your heart on your sleeve and be very open with your history, problems/struggles and how your characters are inspired by aspects of yourself, while also wanting to be critical of yourself and be open to grow. Those are good things. Be able to look back, and be open for learning and taking a look at oneself.

Stuff like that seems like sensitive information, so do be very careful on the internet with stuff like this. You never know who may be on the other side of the screen and what intent they may have.
Fem's spike skin seems like a cool way of protecting oneself within that world, quite violent too. Let's hope that worse things can be prevented outright. For Fem, you yourself in this world, and others.

You seem quite young and still trying to figure certain things out on some fronts. And where it concerns intimacy, sensuality and sexuality there's a whole lot that can have an impact, be they what it said and done around you or said straight to you.
Don't want to be a doomthinker either. Be sure to use common sense, but have fun too. J
udging by the fact you're already on NG for a little bit, you seem to know your way around fairly well.

From a stranger on the internet: wish you good luck on your journeys with healthy growth, strength, wisdom and luck where needed, and hope you can share and receive good things alike.
And my apologies if this overbearing comment is weird or annoying.
'Ave a good one. *backflips out the window into the night sky*
