Denying a trans reading of Scott Pilgrim not because I don't see it but because if Scott was an egg and Ramona was a trans woman then there'd be no fucking way she'd be adhering to the prime directive this fucking hard whenever he says some egg shit. Scott would talk about his hair or go on about how he wishes he was a lesbian and her face would contort like a deflating basketball from the relatable cringe of it all
Kim: you can't say anything. you know how this works, she has to figure it out herself.
Ramona: you don't understand, she's been so bad lately. I don't know if I can take this any longer.
Scott, entering the room: hey have you girls seen my big jacket, the one that doesn't make me hate myself so much? wonder why it does that. anyway, I'm gonna go play DND with Roxie, she said it was girls only so Wallace couldn't come but for some reason she invited me anyway, lol. I'm thinking about playing a cool knight lady, just for variety. anyway bye!
Ramona: *looks at Kim*
Kim: dear god
The thing is that this is a setting where the Vegan Police is real, so chances are that the Prime Directive is probably being enforced by a high council of trans girls
The moment Ramona tries to tell Scott she gets interrupted by a cat girl speedrunner no clipping into the room and sucker punching her
Okay you know what that's actually a solid argument that's consistent with the series' internal logic
