Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.
Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.
A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level. For more information regarding the problems with 'Egg-culture', please see Here.
Love Y'all and thank you for following this community

Please tell me that's just stain work and not how the metal actually looks.
Coloring is likely a side effect of heat treatment, titanium dioxide film or both.
Can be from tempering, but it's usually hard to get the color that consistent. It could also be anodized or acid treated. There's a lot of different ways to change the color of steel.
Depends on what it's made of tungsten for example can do all sorts of colours depending how it's heat treated
What part of anything on this post points to this being a functional sword? Pretty obviously meant to be an art piece.
It's not that impractical, but pretty much all swords are for show nowadays. There's no practical justification to have a dedicated melee weapon, especially the ones that are most effective in combat.
No edge, tang is welded on, the pommel is attached without a handle on it, there is no edge, and even if there was, it’s cheap ass stainless.
I can't tell if the tang is welded on from this jpeged ass image, and I'm not sure if the pommel is permanently attached or if all handles even need to be attached before the pommel. I don't know how to tell stainless apart from other types of steel with something that's freshly forged like this. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't freshly forged blades generally not that sharp?
I was more commenting on how that general design isn't totally impractical, not that it's an amazing sword. It doesn't look finished and it doesn't have any obvious mall-ninja design flaws. There isn't anything so clearly wrong with it that I would write it off as cheap.
