Generally, "doesmics" is understood to refer to the perceived gender identity or presentation of a fictional character, particularly when that character is male or presents as male, but is interpreted by some audiences as potentially being female, non-binary, or having a fluid gender identity. This interpretation often stems from a character's appearance, personality, mannerisms, or narrative role, which may challenge traditional gender stereotypes.

The concept is often discussed in contexts where fans explore the nuances of character representation and gender expression in media. It can be a playful or analytical term used to describe a character whose gender is ambiguous or subject to interpretation by the audience. "Doesmics" is not intended to be a definitive label but rather a way for fans to categorize and discuss their perceptions of fictional characters' gender identities. Its usage is primarily confined to informal online discussions and fan communities.
