Bloodstone Crazed about joko

People engage with things they like by creating things or posting opinions about it. Sometimes, they like things while also misinterpreting the source material, resulting in inaccuracies in their OCS, fanfics, theories, opinion posts, etc.

The correct answer, in every scenario, is to leave it be and let them be wrong. No corrections, no passive aggressive posts about it, etc. If you simply must, you can offer a private correction and suggestions on how to fit their character better towards the more accurate lore. But there is nothing wrong with interpreting a story or its world inaccurately. Sometimes, people explicitly deviate from source material because they like it more that way as well, it's not always unintentional.

"I'd rather people like something accurately instead of having to read their poorly educated opinions about it online, what's the point of liking something if all you're doing is taking anything you don't like about it and turning it into something you do like?", you might say.

Then enjoy your dying fandom, if you like it that way. People who actually enjoy engaging with the source material, drawing fanart etc., instead of musing about it like some smart-than-thou philosophers will just go elsewhere where they are welcome.

Engaging with the source material involves opening yourself up to the possibility of being wrong about it, and being a nitpick to these people about it sends a clear message: being wrong is not welcome in the fandom.

In GW2's case, it's a video game with a poorly-kept wiki. The only way to know many things about its world and story is to replay the story and listen to all dialogue and take notes. Being wrong about it is practically a fact of life. The game's own writers are held to lower standards than fanartists and writers and I think that's extremely unfair.

a neophallus can get erect with an implant (this will either be a bendable rod or a device that inflates with saline at the press of a button, usually in the testicles)

both can feel sexual pleasure and experience orgasm

most neovaginas will be able to tolerate larger insertions with enough dilating/training

the nerves in neophalluses take a while to regrow but it is incredibly rare to experience no sexual nerve growth

both can look and feel "normal" if that's what you want, just take good care of your scars and look at your surgeons' results portfolio (and don't be afraid to be picky! its your genitals, you get to decide!)

in fact it's possible for many people to stealth and for their sexual partners to never know. even for phallo, some people with natal penises have erectile implants too, ED is common. neocaginas are often indistinguishable from natal vaginas

many surgeons are starting to offer preservation options for patients who want a more mixed look/don't want to lose what they have

aawuuueeh, aweuuuhhh, auuhhhh
