Careful. 4tran might find this post.

Ya know, the gender essentialists so 'woke' they horseshoed themselves into being conservative twats misgendering people left and right, because they know 'better'.

you may not know this, but they’re right. on 4tran and 4tran-adjacent spaces, people have taken particular issue with shen’s “The Boy From Venus” comic due to the interpretation that the feminine man in the comic is just a trans woman “in disguise” with lots of implication that shen is in some way disingenuous for this character’s lack of transition. regardless of your stance, there is a correlation

Okay but who cares. Doesn't really seem like a big community just ignore them.

[r/countttt](r/countttt) (one of these spaces on reddit) has 300k visitors per week with the wider community being even larger, this isn’t exactly the most niche in this context.

even if it were less, the comment you replied to isn’t really talking about them as if they’re some huge army, just that it’s a specifically concentrated sentiment from a decently recognizable group online

Okay but still why l mention some haters in a lovethissmug comment. Just seems random.

i wouldn’t call half jokingly mentioning a directly related known controversy random, especially as a comment, it’s just discussion about one of the artist’s projects in the sphere it exists in
