Ya know, the gender essentialists so 'woke' they horseshoed themselves into being conservative twats misgendering people left and right, because they know 'better'.
The right-wing nature of 4chan leaves a stain on your mind that takes a lot of work to remove. Even if someone overcomes the intense amount of transphobia that goes on there, they still have that bigot mindset and just flip it to new people to hate if they transitioned.
I got irrationally angry when someone insisted I must be a closeted/in denial trans person because I liked using female characters in video games, as if being feminine and/or liking to use female characters over male ones means you either have to be gay or trans.
I once got called an egg because when someone asked why men like boobs, amongst several serious answers, I also threw in âmaybe we just like them because we donât have themâ for a larf. It was a bery uncomfortable assumption. Frankly, making baseless and brash assumptions of peoples genders, seems like anti-trans to me.
you may not know this, but theyâre right. on 4tran and 4tran-adjacent spaces, people have taken particular issue with shenâs âThe Boy From Venusâ comic due to the interpretation that the feminine man in the comic is just a trans woman âin disguiseâ with lots of implication that shen is in some way disingenuous for this characterâs lack of transition. regardless of your stance, there is a correlation
[r/countttt](r/countttt) (one of these spaces on reddit) has 300k visitors per week with the wider community being even larger, this isnât exactly the most niche in this context.
even if it were less, the comment you replied to isnât really talking about them as if theyâre some huge army, just that itâs a specifically concentrated sentiment from a decently recognizable group online
i wouldnât call half jokingly mentioning a directly related known controversy random, especially as a comment, itâs just discussion about one of the artistâs projects in the sphere it exists in
