My friends were complaining about trans people getting Pikamee cancelled. They were saying how Pikamee is the next big thing. What the hell are they talking about Jesse? :jesse-wtf:

    Anime profile pics remain roughly a cointoss between comrades and nazis, with the coin somewhat weighed toward nazis.

      Yeah but Bernkastel is a character from Umineko which among other things

      Pretty heavy spoiler for Umineko which is an amazing VN so play that instead of reading this

      has multiple gender non-conforming characters that experience dysphoria. These aren't played as a joke or anything. The entire story could be summed up as "Learn how and why this gender non-conforming character did the things they did and empathize with them to solve the mystery."

      I'm not saying the representation is perfect as this was written by a cis man in 2007, but the comment goes against the entire foundations of Umineko. It's like watching Avatar and saying "Yeah we need to burn more trees down."
