Weird Shirt 😳 / Flushed Emoji Shirt

About

Weird Shirt 😳 and Flushed Emoji Shirt refer to an exploitable redraw format in which female characters wear T-shirts of the flushed emoji (😳). The format has two variants; the first contrasts the difference between a character not wearing the shirt and them wearing it, and the second contrasts a character with small breasts and a character with large breasts both wearing the shirt. The format appeared in October 2023 and quickly became the subject to redraws.
