They need to escape into fantasy because the modern world is so terrible for them because trans people exist. This escapism bullshit comes up every single fucking time and it's so pathetic. First off, if this is what you feel the need to escape from, you don't have real problems aside from being socially malignant and the loneliness and isolarion stemming from being a creepy little turd and escapism isn't gonna fix that. Secondly, it's an absolutely juvenile way to prioritize your tastes in media, I'm a big star trek guy and part of it is hanging out in a better future, BUT it's aspirational, it constantly has messages about the here and now, I'm a Tolkien guy and there's a lot more to his work than getting lost in Middle Earth fantasy. Third it's self centered and or depressing, you're choosing to fight anything that may dig your head from the sand, it's juvenile like a child refusing to come out from under the bed until the vacuum is turned off, no one should be proud they feel like this, escapism is a break not a mode of being. Don't look for escape, look to escape.
