my pc bluescreened in the middle of me writing this reply, which makes me think opening with a danganronpa joke was a bad idea or something. anyway,

yeah, no, i get it. as i said earlier in the thread, i definitely think it's an understandable reason to be upset, and can't blame anyone for it. i remember similar things happening with the "june erases my transmasc john headcanon!" stuff in the past, and while that has a prrretty obviously different power imbalance than this one does, i think they both have the same similarity of coming from a place of genuine "hey, this character means a lot to me and my sense of gender," and both were talking points made by a relatively small portion of the fanbase which was then used as a cudgel by a larger, genuinely transphobic section of it.

like with the june thing in particular, it was pretty quick to watch it become "mask off," and for most people to eventually just say that their actual issue with it wasn't that they liked transmasc john, but that they didn't want john to be a woman period. and i've seen a loooooooot of that going around unchallenged with roxy, a lot of in ways that're like. baby's first transphobia "b-b-but men don't act like that...???" type shit.

so i've decided to tie myself to the traintracks for the glorious homestuck empire's transgender future and fight for both of these goals to my very end. they're tying me to the front of a warship and hoping that i absorb enough missiles that we can safely sail across the atlantic. (nicki minaj voice) to freedom.
