that's gross.

i think i didn't interpret ending in this way because i was really confused at what was happening and idea "females are just crazy" doesn't align with earlier episodes. Problems with production explains why the result is that messy.

i probaly missed something but what makes the final episode "incel"?

i think Wonder Egg Priority is worth to watch, my main complain is that it leaves a lot of unanswered questions in the end

1. Manga
2. Slice of life, romance, school life
3. Kanojo ni Naritai Kimi to Boku (The Woman You Are and Me). This is manga about trans girl Akira Yonezawa and her friends. Hime Sakuragaike, another main character, is a cis girl who have been friends with Akira since childhood and she is secretely in love with Akira. Hime was the only person who knew that Akira is a girl for a few years but then Akira decided to live full-time as girl and started wearing female uniform in school because of this classmates started making fun of her which made Hime angry. To support her friend, Hime decided to wear male uniform in school. That's how the story starts. The manga explores gender issues not only from trans perspective but from cis as well, how gender stereotypes might be harmful for everyone. Sexual/romantic attraction is also a theme of this manga, Hime fell in love with Akira before she came out, she still loves her but it makes her confused, there is also aroace character who tells about their experience. The manga is overall pretty wholesome and easy to read but there is some drama moments. I think it's a good story about trans person, as a trans myself i relate to Akira, i think if you are cis and want to learn more about trans experience this manga is good for you too!

3. Yoru no Kurage wa Oyogenai (Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night). I will just copy synopsis from MAL and then add my own note about trans character.

Mahiru Kouzuki, a skilled artist, gives up on her passion after her elementary school classmates ridicule her colorful jellyfish mural. Several years later, upon encountering an unexpected admirer in Kano Yamanouchi—a former idol with a troubled past—Mahiru decides to pursue her childhood dreams once more. Tasked with designing the mascot for Kano's new music project, JELEE, Mahiru enlists the help of her childhood friend and professional streamer Kiui Watase to make JELEE's first music video. Together with Kim Anouk Mei Takanashi, a pianist and fan of Kano's work as an idol, the girls aim to turn JELEE into a global hit. However, if they want to succeed in this ambitious endeavor, they will first have to free themselves from the shackles of their pasts.

So, Kiui Watase is AFAB but they use male or NB character as vtuber model to stream. It's a bit unclear if Kiui is transmasc or non-binary, the show never said what pronouns they prefer, so that's why i use they/them. Kiui doesn't like that people judge them by their appearance, it shows thorought out the anime. There is one scene that is especially memorable, it's culmination of Kiui's story, they said on public how they feel about their identity, it's a short one but very powerful. The anime isn't primary focused on Kiui or their gender identity but it's part of the story, you won't have the same story if you remove Kiui identity, I think it's good representation.

1. Anime
2. Supernatural, suspense, thriller, drama
3. Wonder Egg Priority. The anime deals with very heavy topics, the main theme is suicide. Main characters helps those who commit suicide in their afterlife to overcome their trauma by fighting with demons/monsters. Usually these monsters are people who traumatized them. Each main character also lost someone in their life which affects them a lot. This show deals with topics like: bullying, loneliness, shut-in/hikikomori, gender dysphoria, physical violence to minors. But despite all of this the anime doesn't have only dark side, there are a good moments too that can make you smile, the main characters were lonely but they becomes friends and they just having fun spending time together. There is a lot of mysteries in show that becomes clears later on, it keeps you want to continue watching. However, not everything becomes clear. The ending made me confused, it feels rushed and leaves you with a lot of unanswered questions. Seems like authors wanted to make more episodes or make another season? It feels unfinished to me. So what about trans representation? I already mentioned gender dysphoria theme. One of the main characters, Momoe, is a trans girl (the show doesn't explicity says that but there is a lot of signs). She is often being mistaken as a boy because of her androgynous appearance and she is popular with girls but it doesn't make her happy because most of them think that she is a boy. Despite this the main group of characters accept her as girl although initially they misgenred her by mistake. The anime shows depict gender dysphoria very well, as someone who is early on HRT, lives in stealth and doesn't have pass, it's very relatable. What impress me in Momoe is that she can confidently say that she is a girl even in close to death, dangerous situations, she just says "I am a girl!" and it really inspire me because I am still strugling myself calling myself girl out loud. There is also a transmasc character but I won't tell much about him because of spoilers, only will say that he is cool too!
4. GOOD beginning and middle parts, MEH ending

P.S. originally anime aired with 12 episodes, the 13 episode came out later separetely, I watched all of them, so what i said is related to all 13 episodes.

my brain make exact the same scenario in my head and also

i don't know why my brain do this to me :(

same

yes!

yeah, decision became active in January, the news is that yesterday Rosfinmonitoring (Federal Financial Monitoring Service of the Russian Federation) added "LGBT movement" to its own list. I guess, it's just bureaucratic things?

For those who don't know what Rosfinmonitoring is:

The Federal Financial Monitoring Service of the Russian Federation is a Federal Service that is aimed to collect and analyze information about financial transactions in order to combat domestic and international money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes. The organization also provides lists of people accused of terrorist or "extremist" activities and books.

oo, i didn't know that, thank you!

The most American thing isn't that the flag (it looks more like Liberian as pointed out other comments lol) but the flagpole at average post office for no reason

not only gaying but also transing

bump

all my characters are canonically trans

This website is called "Myrotvorets" (peacemaker) and it's not official kill list, it's a database of people who are considered to be agents of Kremlin, separatists and etc by creators of this site. Personal data of these people (including home address) is published there. It's still horrible and even though it's against Ukraine law to publish such data without consent the government did nothing (Former human rights ombudsman Valeria Lutkovska tried to get the authors punished, but she was told that the work of the website was extremely important for Ukraine's national security. Later, the Security Service of Ukraine issued an official statement saying that it did not see any violations).

The screenshot is old, news with that screenshot was posted in August-September of 2023, i found two sources:

• Pro-Russian, claiming that the Pope was actually added but then deleted from the list: https://web.archive.org/web/20240310112313/https://ukraina.ru/20230830/1049030495.html

• Pro-Ukraine, claiming that the Pope was never added in "Myrotvorets" and it's just fake: https://web.archive.org/web/20231201061639/https://voxukraine.org/ru/fotofejk-papu-rymskogo-frantsyska-vnesly-v-bazu-myrotvorets

Either way the Pope isn't on that list and it's not related to his recent statement.

the site is also available in Russian and English languages, so the usage of Russian isn't weird in that case, however i didn't find any proof of that screenshot being true

evil gender >:3

:3

hiiiiiii :3

probably supports Russia for cringe rightwinger reasons

well Russian government banned transition in last year, so that checks out...
