So... what is Role Reversal? Where the traditional men and women's roles are reversed (usually in relationships). These can vary in what kind and to what degree. In such dynamics, women take on the (more) masculine and dominant role in the relationship while the men take on the (more) feminine and submissive role in the relationship.
More information can be found in the Role Reversal Subreddit!
Is Noona romance / Older Woman/Younger Man considered Role Reversal? Ultimately, yes because the typical/traditional dynamic is Older Man/Younger Woman so by default the opposite is role reversal. That being said, a lot of noona romance still has very traditional gender roles so how thorough the RR is outside of that initial dynamic switch depends on the title.
Role reversal also has a lot of overlap with power couples (both kick butts and protect each other) as well as egalitarian relationship dynamics (50/50 relationship dynamic usually without gender roles at all).

As mentioned earlier, role reversal varies a lot in its level. Literal tropes like femboy x mascgirl are RR but so are more subtle ones like Flirty FL x Shy ML depending on context ^-^ It also depends a lot on when they were made (older titles *tend* to be less obvious about RR) as well as when they take place (historical titles tend to be more subtle with the role reversal due to patriarchal values of the times).
Though Role Reversal can be considered a trope in and of itself. Here are some common sub-tropes related to it:
| Girlboss x Malewife/Boywife | Masculine FL x Feminine ML | Strong FL x Weak ML |
| Arguably the most common RR trope. This is a blanket term used to describe a go-getter strong woman with a supportive and sweet man by her side. Often includes the woman taking the lead in the relationship but not always. | The most literal and more uncommon type of RR where both ML and FL more literally take on the opposite gender's role be it physically (dressing and acting the part) or emotionally (behaving the part). | Pretty self explanatory. Usually involves the woman saving and protecting the man |
| Protector FL x Protected ML | Bad Girl x Good Boy | Boss FL x Employee ML |
| Associated with the Strong FL x Weak ML but not always. FL either physically or emotionally protects ML and stands up for him | Pretty straightforward too. Usually the FL has a lot of issues that make her 'bad' that ML then fixes or loves her despite of them. | Where the woman is the boss and the man is her subordinate/employee. A general reversal of the more specific Female CEO x Male Secretary trope ^^ |
| Warm Man x Cold Woman | Flirty FL x Shy ML | Assertive FL x Passive ML |
| Where the woman is the emotionally distant one, often times being rude and kinda mean, while the man is the emotional and sensitive one, usually kind and gentle. | Where FL is the one to take initiative, flirt with, and lead the relationship. Sometimes it's because ML is too shy to do so himself, other times it's because FL wants to pursue him. | This is more subtle and not strictly RR but due to how women are often portrayed in media it tends to fall more under RR than not. For when FL is the one to take initiative in the narrative and in the relationship while ML lets things happen rather than perusing things. |
| RR Tropes according to TV Tropes |
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy - A couple/pair, consisting of a very feminine-looking/acting boy and a very masculine-looking/acting girl. |
Here the terms ML and FL are used but it can also apply to supporting characters, ofc ^^
🚨 Below you can find Lists for most of these tropes and more🚨
Examples of Role Reversal in known media: The Addams Family (Morticia and Gomez), Wonder Woman (Diana and Steve Trevor), a lot of DC Comics ships (Batman x Catwoman, Starfire x Nightwing, Green Arrow x Black Canary, etc), How to Train your Dragon (Hiccup and Astrid).

What are badges? Badges are profile decorations often used to show membership of a certain club.
How to add them to my profile? Find the image you wish to display and right click it then click on "copy image address" (MDL uses links which is why images must be uploaded someplace else to be shown in-site). Next go to your profile editor (profile picture on the top right -> settings -> scroll down) and go click on the image/picture icon in the toolbar (3rd button in the 2nd row). Paste the URL you just copied and click on "select", the image should appear. Be sure to scroll down and click "save changes" to see the edits.
Finally got around to making some badges! Added 28 vertical rectangles (will be working on squares and horizontal rectangles later) ^-^ Still not 100% on the design but I like them a lot more than what I had before. You can find them above or click here
I'm open to ideas and suggestions <3

Those badges look great Arclei! I tried to make some Elongated Hexagon Badges, I'm not sure if the text looks okay? More badges + banners from me might follow. Will post my badges & Banners here: https://kisskh.at/discussions/creativity-forum/69619-badges-banners?pid=3238784&page=23#p3238784
