In late 2019 and early 2020, several Twitter users joked about the concept of a Hooters staffed by femboys, and from March to June 2020, "Femboy Hooters" became a very popular internet meme.<ref>https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/femboy-hooters</ref> This meme brought a large wave of attention and popularity to the femboy community, as well as more of a push for femboys to be seen for who they are instead of being sexualized.
There are popular femboy communities on Tiktok, Twitter, Instagram, Discord, and Reddit, both NSFW and SFW in nature. The subreddit r/feminineboys <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/feminineboys/</ref> is an example of one such community that opposes the stereotype of femboys being exclusively fetishistic in nature. There is also the Tiktok hashtag of #femboyfriday which has even received media attention via a Vice article <ref>[https://www.vice.com/en/article/3az4nn/femboys-tiktok-fashion-gen-z <nowiki>https://www.vice.com/en/article/3az4nn/femboys-tiktok-f[censored]ion-gen-z</nowiki>]</ref>, which is positive in nature but somewhat mischaracterizes the identity as just a trend.
Popular femboy internet personalities who identify as femboys include Femboy Fishing<ref>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqq5t2vi_G753e19j6U-Ypg</ref> and Mako Rays<ref>https://www.youtube.com/c/MakoRays/featured</ref>.
