James Rodriguez content is perhaps one of the deepest rabbit holes you can fall down into on the Internet right now. That's what happened to me when a harmless rumor—that Bayern Munich want to flip James for Ivan Rakitic (lol)—sent me searching for a fan drawing of him and Radamel Falcao that I noticed. (I tracked it down, as you can see above.)
Along the way, I stumbled across an amazing image from an article in Colombian sports magazine PubliSport. “Wait, what is that? Someone drew James as a woman!?” That was just the beginning:

That just scratches the surface. You can see the whole video with all the Photoshopped portraits below:
