    I don’t understand how transphobes manage to be so stupid. Just let people do what they want with their life, it affects you in absolutely no way if someone else is trans yet they waste their own time trying to make trans people have worse lives.

      I think that these people are terrified of change, so they attack anything that deviates from their nuclear family, WASP, Norman Rockwell world view.

      It’s propaganda by a certain party that lies to them telling them that trans people are after their children to convert them, after them to catfish them and just terrible people all around. Nevermind that trans people are just people trying to live their own lives with their own worries.

        trans people are after their children to convert them

        I think this is a very big part of it. When I was a teenager and our state legalized gay marriage my dad said it was great. He was all for their freedom to do as they pleased behind closed doors. But as soon as he thought I, his son, might be gay he was terrified. Suddenly he would change the channel if an effeminate man walked on. He’d leave Maxim magazines everywhere. He’d mock anybody “acting” gay.

        Fearing for your children is incredibly powerful. Best case my dad was scared I would be bullied. More likely I think he was scared people would see him differently and he might be mocked. It’s such an easy lever for politicians to pull when trying to manipulate their voters.

      it affects you in absolutely no way if someone is trans

      Seems to be four or five big misconceptions to correct before the battle’s won on this point?

    “Here’s a four hour video where I explain that the trans-coded character that trans people identify with and the writers explicitly say is trans really isn’t, because glorious Nippon does not have the same understanding of trans people.”

    so the white guy who is facing left in the first panel turns into a red guy who is facing right in the second panel who is talking to a guy who looks more like he used to than he himself does who is also facing the way he used to be facing great comic

    Okay but genuinely, what games are there? I know of Celeste, and… huh, that’s the extent of my knowledge. I need more canonically trans video games for my gay little transbian heart

    Edith: Well, thank you all, you lovely little gamers, you^^

      Any game that lets you choose body type and pronouns separately will have fragile little snowflakes complaining that this is “shoving it in their face” or “forcing it on them” somehow.

      3 that come to mind are cyberpunk, Baldur’s Gate, and Temtem.

        Battletech let you choose your pronouns independently from the gender presentation of your little 2D avatar icon and butthurt GamerGaters review-brigaded the game and harassed the one trans developer on the dev team.

        Great game, though, even if your ops guy’s idea of advance Intel is telling you about reinforcements the turn after they open fire on you, the DropShip pilot lands by Braille on your head sometimes, and your shipboard engineer is probably a plant for the cornball tecnho-Illuminati who have been doing a space CIA for the last few hundred years… But I digress.

        I think there is a character who is trans in Baldur’s gate 3. Though I have no clue who they are, I probably keep killing them since I am of the opinion that collateral casualties are a myth.

        Anyways time to start my first dark urge campaign.

      When parts of The Last of Us Part II leaked, people mistook one of the main characters for being trans and completely lost their minds over it.

      As it turns out, they weren’t. >!But one of the supporting characters was.!<

        Didn’t realize Claire was trans.

        Makes absolutely no difference to me in how I feel about that character or the game in general. I suppose I just didn’t pay enough attention during her missions.

        Most of this stuff I haven’t played, but I might now.

      FFXIV just added one (with a voice actress that is trans IRL) that’ll be in the next expansion :3

      Edit: added clarification that the voice actress is trans, not sure if the character will be

    I guess SJW lost its hard left coding with the younger generations? 🤨 I read this & it didn’t make sense because the left was almost always the SJW, would fight for trans.

      Top panel can perhaps be read mainly as:

      My peers are so sensitive and get offended about everything - total Social Justice Warrior babies.

      Then:

      “Trans people exist.”

      UHG I AM SO OFFENDED!

      The point: SJWs aren’t really the triggered babies, but the adults in the room who complain when appropriate instead of being offended at facts of life.

      Kind of owning the term SJW in all its left coded glory!

      Anyone who “fights” for what they perceive to be “social justice” is a Social Justice Warrior.

      If your idea of social justice is that women don’t deserve rights and blacks should be slaves, and you fight for it. That would make you an SJW.
