Trap is a slang term used in English-language online anime communities to describe a biologically male character with an attractive andrognynous or feminine appearance, and is often performed by voice actresses. In Japan, a term called otokonoko ("男の娘" ["Otoko no musume"] literally meaning "male daughter") is used to refer to a real-life or fictional man who expresses himself in a culturally feminine manner and appearance. Note that in order to be called a "trap", the character must be explicitly described as biologically male; characters whose gender is officially unconfirmed or have no biological sex do not count. The word trap carries unfortunate implications however, as it implies that their femininity is used to "trap" (i.e. deceive) men into becoming an object of their desires, only to find out that the "girl" they want is a man all along, which makes them "gay" - and therefore undesirable. It doesn't help that many of the archetype's examples are highly sexualized by both creators and fans. Since "trap" pertains to males who look like girls, the female counterpart is called "reverse trap", or in other words, females that look like men.
