You know that one drawer in your kitchen where everything ends up? Batteries, takeout menus, a screwdriver, three rubber bands, a key nobody remembers the lock for, and somehow a single sock. That is the gay anime tag on TWPornStars. Everything is in there. Some of it is useful, most of it is random, and every time you open it, you find something that makes you go…why the fuck is this here?
TWPornStars collects adult posts from Twitter. Yes, I am still calling it Twitter, not X, because X is a dumb name, and I will die on that hill too. Instead of following hundreds of accounts, you pick hashtags and the site builds you a feed out of every post that carries them. So I picked gay and anime, sat back, and let it do its thing. Big mistake.
Eight pages of gay anime…and everything else
The design is old-school and kind of cluttered. A pink TW Pornstars logo, a search bar where your hashtags show up as little boxes, and a row of links for popular videos, popular, all pornstars, hashtags, and a red Filter&Sort link that is really easy to miss. Under that, you get a row of related tags you can click, and then the feed itself, which is a wall of tiles with tiny text everywhere. It works, but it looks like a forum from 2012 had a baby with a tweet.
Each tile shows the post text, the hashtags, how long ago it was posted, the likes, the retweets, and the account that posted it. The likes are actually really useful, since they tell you right away if people loved something or ignored it. Some of the top posts on page one sit above 10.000 likes, while the deeper stuff barely scrapes one or two. Big difference. Honestly, the like count is the only thing that kept me sane while browsing this damn feed.
So how much is there? The gay and anime combo gives you 8 pages. There is no total number anywhere, but judging by how packed each page is, you are looking at a few hundred posts. That sounds decent until you realize how many of them are not gay, not anime, or not either. I will get to that. Oh, I will definitely get to that.
The post dates are also something else. A lot of what you see is years old, with timestamps like 4 years, 5 years, and even 6 years ago. Sorry, no 67 joke in this review! There are a few posts from the last couple of weeks, but most of this feed feels like digging through an old hard drive. Not a dealbreaker on its own, but if you were hoping for fresh content every day, keep your expectations low. Really low. Like…basement low.
Bara, furries, and a full-blown shitstorm on page eight
Let me start with what actually works, because page one is not terrible.
You get some really nice gay animations, like a goblin cave video, beefy bara art, some monster stuff, and a game called Dungeon Tavern with a pretty big following. There is a Venom getting very handsy, a Loki and Thor ship for the Marvel fans, and some 3D animations with voice acting. A few of these posts have thousands of likes, and honestly, I get why.
Then there are the furries. Holy shit, the furries. Foxes, wolves, bears, tigers, and a whole "wildlife channel" bit that made me laugh. If furry is your thing, page one has quite a lot for you, so enjoy. If it is not your thing, well, you are going to be scrolling past a lot of fur.
Page one also has bleed already. Real guys taking selfies, a real woman in fishnets on a bike, a few crossdressers, femboy posts, and some random LGBTQ memes. It is a mixed bag, but at least most of the top posts are animated.
Then I went to page eight. Oh my god. An absolute shitstorm. Real women with their tits out. OnlyFans promos in Spanish. Memes about nothing. A news post about a pride parade getting canceled. A cat from a cozy island game. A Frieza and futa post. Among Us porn, because, of course, why not. Someone excited about receiving a giant dog dildo. Somebody asking if two Bob's Burgers characters would be gay as anime dragons. I am not making any of this up. I genuinely could not believe what I was looking at. I closed my laptop, walked around the room, came back, and it was all still there. What the actual fuck, Twitter.
What happened? People on Twitter throw every hashtag they can think of onto their posts, hoping for reach. Someone posts their boobs with #gay #anime #love #funny #memes #follow, and boom, it ends up on your gay anime feed. TWPornStars does not check anything. It just grabs whatever has the right tags. So the deeper you go, the more it turns into hashtag spam soup.
My honest guess? Page one is maybe two-thirds gay anime, cartoons, and furry stuff. By the last pages, it is maybe one in ten, if you are being generous. The rest is spam, memes, women, and real people who just like using hashtags.
Quality is all over the place too, since everything comes from different Twitter accounts. Some of the animations look great, with smooth motion and clean art. Others are blurry reposts or screenshots. Video and image posts are mixed together, so you never quite know what you are going to get until you click.
Hashtags, filters, and a fake CAPTCHA
The hashtag system is actually the best part of this site. You can click the related tags under the search bar to add them to your search, like yaoi, manga, hentai, or bigdick. Each one gets chained to the rest, and the feed shrinks to posts that carry all of them. Adding yaoi on top of gay and anime cleans things up a lot, in my opinion. You lose some posts, but you also lose a lot of the boobs and memes.
Then there is the Filter&Sort menu. You can limit posts to the last day, week, month, year, or all time, and sort by popular, date, likes, or retweets. Sorting by likes is my favorite here, since the crowd does a pretty good job of pushing the actual porn to the top and burying the spam. There is also a videos-only option if you want to skip the images.
Now, the ads. I remember these from before, and they have not gotten any better. There are pop-ups, ads that show up no matter where you click, and the worst one of all…the fake CAPTCHA. You open a post, and a "confirm you are not a robot" box shows up next to the video. It is not a CAPTCHA. It is an ad. Click it, and you are off to some random site. There is a tiny X in the corner that actually closes it. Fool me once, TWPornStars. You will not get me twice, you sneaky bastards.
On top of that, autoplay is on by default. Short videos finish, the next one starts, a new page loads, and boom, more ads. You can turn autoplay off, but finding the button while fighting a fake CAPTCHA is a whole minigame on its own. Use an ad blocker. Seriously, do not even try browsing this site without one.
The site is free, and you do not need an account for anything. There is no paid plan, no premium, nothing like that. Your wallet is safe, but your patience will get absolutely wrecked, and your sanity might not make it out alive either.
Is TWPornStars worth it for gay anime?
Page one has some really nice gay animations, bara art, and fun parodies, and the hashtag system lets you chain tags like yaoi and manga to clean things up. Sorting by likes helps a lot. There is a videos-only option, and everything is free. If you stick to the first pages and use the filters, you can find a few gems from creators who actually know what they are doing.
The bad stuff is hard to ignore. The deeper pages are a complete shitstorm of hashtag spam, real women, memes, and stuff that has nothing to do with gay anime. Most of the posts are years old, the design is cluttered, and the ads, especially that fake CAPTCHA, are some of the worst I have seen. If you go, bring an ad blocker, stay on page one, and stack those hashtags.
