Masters of Fate

OP can we also talk about the fact that Flesh Eaters are rly heavily trans coded?

As a whole, as a subspecies, they are constantly and consistently treated with disdain, disrespect and cruelty, to the point that revealing one’s status as a Flesh Eater is seen as one of the highest acts of trust a Blade can bestow on another person.

Akhos and Patroka are a more minor example in this case; theirs was a generic sad backstory that linked into their existence as Flesh Eaters as such. Minoth followed a typical “overcoming societal rules and enforcements” narrative that is so common in trans culture almost to the letter in the sense that he decided, for himself, that he was going to accept, and be proud of, himself the way he was. It was decided for him that he would be a Flesh Eater, and he undermined the implications of that by breaking free of his toxic surroundings and making a better life for himself. Nia’s fear of being discovered? Sounds a heck of a lot like being in the closet to me!! Her big reveal, and her relief at being accepted once people found out her secret? Analogous to coming out, and being accepted by your family! Jin’s Flesh Eater form being both A) implied to be a higher form of himself and B) a source of power to him??? Trans empowerment!

Also, the way Judicium and Indol treated Flesh Eaters is directly comparable to how the media treats trans people. Judicium weaponizing Flesh Eaters and trying to produce more of them is comparable to how the media likes to use trans people as marketing props, and Indol vilifying Flesh Eaters and making them out to be horrible monsters is comparable to transphobia in the media and modern society.

Nia herself is the biggest example, whereas I feel that Jin is a very good example of trans empowerment and existence while also struggling with dysphoria. while having his bad times as a flesh eater and not always enjoying it (i'm referencing the amount of pain and recovery he goes through repeatedly in the story ofc) He Has His Days but in the end, he is who he is and nothing can change that, regardless!!
