A word used to describe several concepts when it comes to the terms 'traps' and 'trapping'.
In anime/hentai (and predominantly weeb culture) a trap is a bishounen male character who dresses or looks effeminate to the extent they are physically attractive even to
straight men, often also referred to as 'tomgirls', 'sissyboys' or 'femboys'.
In western culture traps refer to trans-women in bar-culture as trans-women who 'pass' and often times are mistaken by
heterosexual men for biological women, which often leads to mixed reactions upon discovery when the heterosexual man 'picks them up at the bar'.
Another western aspect for a trap, is the act of 'trapping'; which is a form of 'bait and switch' where a heterosexual male is tricked into having
sexual relations or engaging in permisquous activities with either a gay male or a trans-woman. Often through being blind-folded, cohersion, peer pressure, or predominantly through streaming activities and vis 'glory holes'.
I watched this anime the other day with my friend and I really liked this one female character, they laughed at me when I told them and said, "man, you fell for the trap!"
I went to the bar and saw this smokin' hottie sitting there at the bar, turns out she was a fuckin' trap when I brought her back home, but I was like, fuck it and
hit that shit anyways!
Bill looked through the
glory hole and saw Karen standing there, but it turned out to be a trap, because he was actually
fucking Steve... Karen was such a bitch!
