Viima - a character from comic @jumalanpelko by @sysiheart
She was born as female cat and being the victim of the cult she died at the age of one year.
And then Sysi says: "His pronouns are he/they. Viima is transmasc and he died before he realised it"
Viima could be really good representation of character with gender dysphoria, and she is. Because she has a background which made her hate all feminine in her - Viima was suffering from the parasite goddess (cultists consider it as female), and clanmates didn't see a personality in Viima, they saw only a function, god's vessel. It sounds very relatable to the most of women, especially to those who become transmasc to avoid patriarchal pressure.
But hey, Sysi is genderqueer, she made a character who is trans because she is trans, she "was born as one", because author want to associate this character with herself. That's it.
Today I saw a post where girl called Viima the "trans goal". That makes me sad. When will girls stop pretending to be someone they're not, thinking that it will make them be themselves?
P.S. I wrote this because I like Jumalanpelko, its plot, style, characters. It is a huge work! I just don't understand why so many creative and talented people promote the idea that your completely healthy body may not fit and this is an excuse to cripple it..
- you stole a character!
No, I left a link on author and wrote that my point of mind is different from author's one.
- you remade the character!
No, I didn't remade Viima's personality, backstory, design. I depicted Viima's happy ending (like other fans do with Mesi, Guard, Suncat and others) where she accept herself. She is afab transmasc in the comic, that means she's female. Yes, there's an OOC, because Viima is really traumatized, and she wouldn't become so self-loving accepting girl after just one sentence. It would take a long time of therapy. But other pronouns and labels can't change who is she truly.
- draw your own characters as cis!
Well, draw your own characters as trans, don't make trans headcanons on someone's characters from different medias.
- you remade Viima drawing them as cis-women, transgender identity is a part of their personality!
So you confirm that without your gender labels you don't have personality.
I'm sorry someone told you being raped was bad.
