What’s up with people who see a character who is canonically trans or very heavily implied to be trans one way going “god I HAVE to headcanon them as trans in the other way” . Like buddy either you have no reading comprehension or you’re being very weird about trans people.

It should have been obvious that after Bridget discourse being the playbook for every “totally not a trans woman” character discourse that Bridget discourse would also be the playbook for every “actually that character is undeniably a trans woman” discourse that follows the first. Not that it happens as often, but of course it would go the same way.

for the record the new playbook is that once it becomes nearly impossible to deny the character is a trans woman (although some will still try) the discourse will become about how shes actually a bad character and overrated and you should care about this cis gay boy instead.

the great thing about the wuxia genre is you can start a sect called the Evil Blood Cult in a place called Demon Mountain that’s a volcano full of poison and you all wear crazy gothic black and red hanfu and practice Sinister Backstabber Style kung fu and like. that’s not a deterrent to prospective disciples. do all that and a fuckton of bright eyed youngsters will still show up at your door and say hello i would like to join the demon mountain evil blood cult where do i sign up?

stealing an observation from a friend : learning how ttrpgs work through actual play is like learning how to fuck by watching porn.

it's edited. it's at the very least partly pre-written. it's rehearsed. those are professional actors. this is a performance. they are doing this for the benefit of the viewer not each other. this is not how it is outside of a studio. if you expect this out of your partners you are a dick. if you try to attain this you will make nobody happy especially not yourself.

They just don’t release the hounds like they used to
