Traps are God's gift to man

Traps were always popular.

I don't understand, why is that?
In the past 10 or so years mostly. It was budding around the 2000s but it was mostly all still shotacon stuff for a while. Only recently in the past, I dunno, like 5-6 years has it become really more prominent.
At least that's what is indicated by production of trap related material.

>exactly
It was a creeping trend, there was no "exact" moment it become popular, unless you have a clearly defined measure for when something can be considered "popular".

Traps were always popular. Even the Romans likes feminine boys, it's just in man's nature.

Anime traps are popular only because you realised the impossibility of a human male being extremely feminine and unbelievably cute in a real life scenario. You are simply attracted to the rarity of such an occurance because you have wrongly grouped 2d and 3d together

I didn't ask WHY traps are popular though.

The when is irrelevant if the why is not understood
Around 2009 when various european countries suddenly learned how to internet with english and all of their fuccbois started camwhoring.

At some point during the Edo period, where in order to stop kabuki actresses from whoring themselves out, the authorities forbade women from acting.
Men then had to play both male and female roles, and those who had previously courted the actresses' attentions discovered that boys dressed as girls were even better. At one point they tried making it mandatory for all actors to have chonmage in order to stop people from fucking crossdressing boys, but that didn't do shit.

I am now reminded of this Japanese movie about a samurai wanting to fuck this other feminine looking samurai.
I have no idea what the hell it was called, and I don't even know how it ended, all I know is that I likened it to a Japanese brokeback mountain.

What the fuck are you babbling about?
Wow, traps are popular in Japan and not looked at like disgusting freaks of nature? Japan is truly a utopia for an Otaku like me!
Traps have been a thing for a long time.

Why though? Was it spontaneous or a gradual thing in anime/manga?
I only really see trap stuff that came out after Bridget was made.
Is that a coincidence?

I only noticed trap stuff increasing because of Hideyoshi.
