How am I supposed to take this person seriously as a transphobe when they don’t even have a twitter blue subscription?
I JUST CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT CHILDREN'S GENITALS AHHHH I'M SO NORMAL AHHThey're losing the culture war that's being fought entirely within their own heads.
Meanwhile I'm sitting here with my partner watching the One Piece Wano arc and we keep laughing at how THE MOST EVIL GUY IN THE WORLD has not misgendered his trans child even one time. Or any of the other trans people him or his gang is actively trying to kill. Nor has anyone in his pirate crew.
The most evil guy in the One Piece world isn't even a transphobe and doesn't have any obvious transphobes in his like 20k member large comically evil pirate crew. That's literally how easy it is to not be transphobic. And yet it's too hard for folks like this.
My headcanon for this is that Kaido is such a misogynist that he's just happy to have a son instead of a daughter
My partner and I have thought similarly, but it's honestly funnier to me and more convenient to my talking point around it if even the most evil guy in the world isn't a transphobe, so that's what I go with.
I smiled. Though I don't think Kaido ever expressed disdain for someone for their inheritance besides

Am I memory hole-ing something?
I cringed hard when okama were introduced, which gradually turned to confusion as a bunch of stuff was perfectly respectful towards their gender identity despite their horrendously caricatured appearances. Still not sure how much of it is Oda's political understanding expanding and how much of it was a point about the fear of trans people.
i don't want to give him too much credit with that stuff, the sanji timeskip stuff is fucking heinous
Yeah same. I think the only transphobic person and/or arc in the whole thing is when Saniji goes to okama Island or whatever but even then he ends up friends and with a clear deep respect for all of them.
I think One Piece isn't perfect but it's significantly more inclusive than most anime. It's probably top 5% or better
did you read a different manga? he leaves the island talking about how he was in hell after they tried to forcefem him for 2 years and is so traumatized by it that he has serious life threatening nosebleeds whenever he sees a "real woman" for a while. incredibly transphobic stuff.
honestly i think oda doesn't see any connection between okama and trans people. he supports trans people because he saw them in the news but also he thinks it's very funny when a man wears fishnets and traumatizes people by being so ugly
Honestly I must have just memory holed how bad that specific arc was. Sanji is overall the worst character / crew member so I don't really keep a lot of room in my brain for his story arc. Probably why I didn't remember how bad that was!
i don't blame you, i wish i could memory hole it. sadly, as a trans woman, all that shit sticks with me forever
I know I broke your combo and am making it worse now but I fully appreciate your commitment to the bit
The only balloons that are appropriate to yell at are Chinese spy balloons.
One Piece is very popular with Palestinians. I've seen the Straw Hat flag a number of times from the resistance. Makes sense with how the Celestial Dragons behave just like zionists. Kuma's backstory with his father getting shot in front of him for being too loud reminded me of something I saw an IDF soldier do.
One Piece seems very popular with young people in general worldwide
Late response but I'm still not used to that being the case. I remember when it was the complete opposite and finding someone else who liked it was like getting a winning lottery ticket.
i'm getting used to a world where One Piece is probably more recognizable to the average person worldwide than Dragonball
Don't worry, you'll lose interest when you see how many episodes of One Piece there are.

I was feeling bad about myself until seeing this, but at least I haven't rendered myself unable to communicate normally with my algorithmically-weaponized sexual baggage the way these people have.
this dude approaches walmart workers like "EXCUSE ME WHERE IS THE CHEESE, OR AM I NOT ALLOWED TO CALL IT CHEESE ANYMORE? DOES IT IDENTIFY AS BANANAS? EVERYTHING ELSE IN BIDENS AMERICA IS BANANAS SO IT MIGHT AS WELL! HASHTAG GROOMER!"
CHUD flowchart upon seeing or hearing something:
"This isn't about me." >>> "How can I make this about me?"

Did people lose their shit over Peanuts back when Snoopie first took to the skies, I wonder?
Not sure what it is about transphobia that makes people behave in the least regular ways possible
