I actually meant like, vegetarians, or whatever, "cucks" 👉👈
sorry for the confusion 🙏
unlimited genocide on weebs and unlimited transfeminization on femboys
I was so confused about wtf was going on with Gwyndolin in Dark Souls until I learned about this phenomenon
yeah gwyndolin is part of a long line of trans women in anime and adjacent spaces (there's got to be a better way to shorten that) who just are not acknowledged as such by anyone involved or 90% of the fans. goes back to characters like hibari from stop! hibari-kun, who lives full time as a woman and says "i wish to be perceived as a woman by everyone" but the artist refers to her as male. most recent major one i can think of is dragona joestar. she gets injections that give her boobs, passes as a woman, gets sexually assaulted several times for explicitly transmisogynistic reasons. the unofficial english translation refers to her as male, but the official french translation refers to her as a woman
it's SUCH A MASSIVE THING and i have no clue how it got to be this way
i respect it. i'm enjoying it a lot when it isn't being gross about dragona, but i've gotten real close to dropping it

the weebosphere
Blue period has a character like this. Clearly a trans woman and everyone uses he/him pronouns
I remember watching a video essay about an anime that went pretty much exactly like this but I forgot what it was called. Like even with the creator perfectly describing internalized misogyny and egg imposter syndrome but maintained that the character wasn't trans. Except in the anime the character literally turns into a woman but it's supposed to be about "male gets opportunity to become woman but he is still male mentally" and its supposed to be a self insert for the author. Egg prime directive and all but I do hope the creator figures it out.
was it stop! hibari kun? that's the one where the author said a bunch of egg shit that i remember
other possibilities: inside mari, maybe kashimashi girl meets girl?
yeah i was like "hmm. i know hibari kun and inside mari both have big video essays, i think inside mari matches closer to the description of the story, but hibari kun has the eggier author." kashimashi girl meets girl was just a third one i could maybe see getting described that way
When love has fled and hope has abandoned you hate will keep you warm.
