I also think that him transitioning into a girl/dressing in drag would not fix him. Him bring a female would not make all his problems vanish into thin air. This fandom seriously needs to get a grip

Eridan being a twinky bottom goes hand-in-hand with people feminizing him. It's ironic, actually, how the same people claiming to be revolutionary and woke are projecting heteronormativity on Eridan. Like, even if Eridan were canonically a feminine man, insisting he takes it because of March Eridan (and, to a lesser extent, Pesterquest), is equating femininity with submissiveness. Now, honestly, idrc if that's what people get off to. I am guilty of it myself. I just wish a more fitting character were a victim of this fandom's forced feminization fetish. Also, I wish people would simply admit they're projecting/getting off instead of framing their r34 fetish art as something boundary breaking.
