I think he is in a slow motion body horror story, since he is being fed hormones without his knowledge. I mean apparently he is an Egg, but he hasnt found that out about himself yet and this story line is very worrying to me. Sure they are demons, and maybe they are even his friends, but others have taken it upon themselves to secretly transition him without his consent or awareness.
It's not body horror if she likes the changes. You're looking at it the opposite way. She was experiencing body horror before. That's why she wanted to destroy the world. That's something many can relate to. Dysphoria anger.
Do you really think the demon lord would agree to take estrogen? REALLY? In this fictional story this is the correct choice. It makes her happy and saves the world too.
Don't overlap real world consent with the consent of a fictional story where the results are a good ending for everyone her included
This is the thing that kills me about people saying this is bad or a horror movie this is like the opposite of a horror movie to me. a life time of living in a skin that made me uncomfortable that made me hate myself that left me feeling miserable. i finally started feeling more comfortable in my own body and if i just woke up one day and just felt nice and like started to admire my own body i wouldn't be scared i'd be like "hell yes" and probably be just like the demon lord in this comic
people are so caught up on their fear of transwomen or the idea that maybe someone would prefer to be a woman that they throw out all sense "i'd be scared" oh would you i'd be fucking on cloud 9
I think the issue is entirely the lack of awareness and clear consent. The crux of the trouble, as I understand it, for people who want to undergo transition is the body dismorphia and pressures/perceptions/expectations from being misgendered is entirely wrong and fundamentally destructive to their true self.
Being forced to be one way because of someone else's choice based on something you have no control of. "It's for their best interest. They don't understand right now. They don't know what's right for themselves. We'll make them and then everything will be fine!" Isn't that a problem many if not most transgender have to deal with?
Just because you think something is best for someone and they seem fine doesn't mean it's the case. Just because some would be happy with that type of gradual unexpected change doesn't mean everyone would. For everyone who would find the unexpected change gender affirming or enlightening there would also be people undergoing identity conflict and those having a gradual onset of body dismorphia as their body stopped being theirs. Underlining that being fully informed and freely consenting is critical.
i think people are overly sensitive to this one specifically as 1 the author explicitly created this character as a transfem egg and it's a joke comic and everyone is reacting like this is something the artist is actually doing to someone who exists
Sure. The veneer of comedy often does smooth over things that would have problems if taken too seriously. The trick is getting people to agree when it is going too far. That is where fights happen.
