My favorite part of this whole thing is cis chuds framing their transphobia as deep concern for trans people. Like "if I were trans, I wouldn't want to be represented via a character who'd been through this kind of arc", as if so many of us weren't IMMEDIATELY like "god Bridget's arc is so relatable", as if so many of us don't think we're femboys for some amount of time before we come out.
Second favorite part is the devs explicitly confirming that her new character design has a dysphoria hoodie on purpose
as if so many of us don’t think we’re femboys for some amount of time before we come out.
It's crazy to me that there's people who are into femboys but extremely not ok with trans women. Like, yeah they're distinct and some people are totally fine being femboys, but the chance of a femboy coming out as trans has to be way higher than an average person. And if you're exclusively into femboys, you've already narrowed your dating pool a lot, now you're insisting that they be 100% sure that they will always identify with this specific label? This is how you know that these people are all porn-brained and don't interact with real people.
Whatever happened to regler god-fearin' femboys what like the Bible says?? It's bio-uh-logical! There's only 4 genders, men, women, femboys, and catgirls and I won't hear nothin' else.
A bunch of years back I saw an article about a woman in NYC who specialized in suits for women. She was talking about how so many masc women wanted to wear suits, but men's suits never really fit right, so she jumped on the niche to give people suits that fit properly and looked sharp. I always thought that was really cool.
Tomboys are an abomination in the eyes of god. That's why he tried to rain fire and brimstone down on Seattle in 89 but a plucky young short haired woman and her cat built a giant fucking robot and punched him in the nards until he stopped.
"Lol the woke LGBT mob is gonna be so triggered when I, a straight man, masturbate to a femboy! Just so long as they're a femboy, if anyone starts saying they're a woman, I'm gonna be fucking pissed."

If i had to guess, i'd say that a minority of these people may actually be transphobic gay men or straight women who can't handle their sex object being a girl, but most of the people posting that kind of shit do not care about the franchise or the character at all and just see a convenient opportunity to misgender her and engage in culture war bs. it's chuds, it's just a brainless mass of reflexive edgelords looking for opportunities to be sadist, they do not have opinions that aren't purely instrumental and bad faith.
There's a fair amount of channer types who are into femboys just because of the taboo, and the fact that anime femboys are often drawn indistinguishable from women. The idea that it's "wrong" is part of the appeal to them, and they hate it when people are proud/unashamed of themselves because it ruins it for them. Like they hate LGBT people, but for them, the defining trait of being gay isn't being attracted to the same gender, but not being ashamed of it.
That makes the most sense to me. I know there are extremely weird 4chan creatures who have developed a strange new sexuality where they're gay for femme men but only if they dress like teenage girls but that's somehow not gay and they're actually heterosexual and then they go on with like twenty more pages of bullshit that ultimately just comes out to "I have nine kinds of phobic and my sense of self is totally fractured and incoherent".
It's got a lot of overlap with the :grillman: tradition of sexually objectifying feeemales while also outright hating women as a demographic in general.
What's so weird to me is that the people who are upset by this are usually totally :frothingfash: about any discussion of gender identity. Like how is femboy waifu catboy good and wholesome and acceptable to them but trans women are :haram: ? Femboy is about as far from any kind of traditional or mainstream conceptualization of masculinity as you can possible bet, but being trans is a gender transgression gone too far?
I can't. I just can't. It's too fucking weird for me.

Give me tomboys or give me death
Girls wearing masculine stuff became so normalized that tomboys became part of the default.
Yeah it rules
Oh ma'am you want to crossdress? Okay I'll call Men's Wearhouse

The mentality is like:

Gold medal for mental gymnastics.
Unironically begging everyone else to respect pronouns

But there can't actually be that many of them.
in other words, just normal 4chan things. it's always amazing how much these people insist on sabotaging their own sexuality.

I can't. I just can't. It's too fucking weird for me.
The big thing is that they're not being genuine. When they can't use femboys to attack trans women, they don't like them either
Tends to go like this: "DAE SUICIDE RATES MENTAL ILLNESS JUST CONCERNED" :very-intelligent: then seconds later "KYS UR MENTALLY ILL" :frothingfash:
