Like, if she were a genuine monster with no redeeming qualities or did something super fucking evil and twisted, then whatever, but, like. Objectively speaking, she's not even the worst person in her own fucking show.

Caine literally skins Jax alive while mocking her for her dysphoria; has Pomni violently mangled by the fucked-up visage of her friend that he himself murdered; summons the image of Ragatha's abusive mom to impale her with knives; mocks Zooble's dysphoria in the cruelest way possible; and destroys Gangle's entire fucking sense of self, not to mention he is directly responsible for Kaufmo killing himself and indirectly responsible for the other abstractions as well. Caine is an objectively worse person than Jax by every single measure possible, and yet from the way the fans act, you would think Caine is literally an infant and Jax is the devil from the Bible. In TADC we watch a closeted, repressed trans woman lash out, try to kill herself, have a moment of despair, beg to live, and then die filled with regret as she mourns the girl she could have been.

If somebody can see all of that and fully comprehend why she acted the way she did and how her abuse affected her, and they still don't feel even the slightest shred of empathy or compassion towards her and instead fantasize about violently torturing her while making posts about how she's the worst person in the circus and deserved what she got, then why would I feel safe around them as a trans woman?

I have two example posts here with names cropped out so people don't jump them because I'm not a fucking pos. First, this one:

Oh, a trans man went to the movie and found out the character is a trans woman and came out hating her more? How fucking interesting. Care to elaborate a bit on why that is?

And then there's this one:

"Ahaha, guys, it's not weird at all that I'm publicly fantasizing about torturing a trans girl! I'm doing her the great service of not misgendering her, so it's actually woke!" bffr. These people see correctly gendering a trans woman as a reward and think it somehow gives them carte blanche to say fucked-up shit about a trans woman. This is functionally indistinguishable from the "trans-inclusive radical misogyny" jokes, which have been funny maybe two times ever.

newsflash! im in your server! i've been witness to all the bullshit!!

do correct me if I'm wrong, I don't like being wrong and haven't exactly kept up on my research.

last year I made $21,000 USD gross income for a household of 2, placing me just below the federal poverty line, and I live in an expensive city, very frugally, paycheck to paycheck. Despite this, I'm in the top 25% of incomes globally and live with a number of luxuries that could not be sustained globally, and indeed, even the current level is already killing the planet.

When I go to the store, everything is the product of deeply inefficient global supply chains because it's cheapest thanks to colonialism suppressing the cost of labor and fuel for shipping outside the imperial core. This, combined with all the disposable plastic and goods generally built to be quickly replaced instead of kept and repaired, is unsustainable. My ability to cheaply buy any fruits and vegetables I want year round is unsustainable. I do not own a car, but private car ownership likewise is unsustainable. All these practices rely on mass exploitation and pollution. Even the poor and oppressed in the United States and her imperial sisters reap these luxurious benefits that much of the world cannot access and could never sustainably.

Any kind of equitable global arrangement where we abolish the class divides that drive this exploitation, whether we call it anarchism or communism any other ism, will mean that some luxuries must be done away with.

However, crucially, I do think that we'd all be living more comfortably and happily as a result. We are currently deeply alienated, from our work, from our communities, from ourselves, as a result of these systems. At all times the forces of capital seek to further alienate us, to bulldoze what bonds of common sisterhood between all maidkind remain and put up more walls, make less space for us and more for the sake of profit, pave over life for parking lots and six-lane roads. You can afford a great many treats, but the only comfort in your life is that which can be bought.
