The part that's missing from a lot of tumblr-centric discourse on transmisogyny is really that stuff like "medical transition is conformist" didn't come from here, it's all runoffs from weird cis people in academia imagining a version of transness to get mad at.

tpwrtrmnky

The archetypal "transandrobro" is literally just saying shit transmisogynists in queer theory have been saying for decades but dressing it up in more fandom-digestible language. It's not new. They're not innovating.

tpwrtrmnky

It happens occasionally that some major trans public figure will hear about the Tumblr manifestation of this issue and say something like "this seems unimportant," causing a lot of controversy.

A lot of people will rightly argue that these attitudes don't just show up online, that transmisogyny in queer spaces is a real issue.

The public figure has accurately pointed out that the random transmisogynists on tumblr are not a priority target for real heavy-hitters to take on, because they are not the source of these ideas, and not the ones empowered to make an impact with these ideas. They are downstream of bigger, more important targets.

Transfeminism defined in opposition to a specific, niche manifestation of transmisogyny will inevitably end up ineffective, because it expends a lot of effort fighting a symptom rather than the disease itself.

phosphoruskim

For the purpose of this discussion can you define what you mean by heavy-hitters?

tpwrtrmnky

People whose outreach influences bigger, more mainstream audiences, people who've done political work with material impact in their country, that kind of thing. The ones who do more than just post popular takes on one or two websites.

#thank you for the clarification!#yes that's very sensible

we simply do not give enough attention to the fact that the US is. Shooting itself in the foot at every turn. not in a individual incompetence way, not an an orange idiot in the White House Way, but in a “the US spent a century designing a world order where everyone was either reliant on the US or terrified of the US (often both) and now people at every level of federal government are destroying that system” way. While USAID very much did in fact contribute to like, food and medicine and whatever to people in need around the globe, this was not out of the kindness of American hearts, this is an arm of liberal empire. the carrot so to speak. and as for the stick, the point of having a military the size of the US military is not to use it. It’s to park on peoples lawns until they stand down. when you use it, and then lose, or deliver anything other than immediate and crushing defeat, you illustrate to the people whose lawn you’re parked on that spending billions of dollars isn’t enough to win a war necessarily. Iran could have closed the strait at any point, but they didnt bc the USA would bomb the shit out of them. When they get bombed first, there’s no reason not to close the strait. The US played its hand and it came up wanting. this is to say nothing of the damage to alliances with other liberal democratic countries. the people currently in power swallowed USA propaganda hook line and sinker, believed in it so completely, that theyre shaking the foundation of what lent that propaganda its believability. to say nothing of the fact that their aims are despicable, their methods are just. an embarrassment to empire building. they took a perfectly good empire and started lopping shit off. they’re trying to increase the output of a machine by ripping cogs out of its still-running engine.

#literally watching the fall of US hegemony in real time #this is what the fall of an empire looks like #good riddance

To illustrate a point I was making about why eye styles are important in She-ra, I edited Entrapta's eyes to look like Adora's. It's just wrong. She looks like a streamer.

this has gotta be a war crime of some sort

Anyway the reason I got onto this topic to begin with is because of Mermista.

Mermista's eyes originally have the soft, half-shaded style like Adora's, but at some point in the show - quite early on - they are permanently changed to be fully brown, like how Entrapta's are fully pink.

They are two of only three characters to consistently have the "hard" colour eyes.

Lonnie has them too. Like Mermista, sometimes they are drawn soft instead, but generally they are hard.

And, fun fact, once Mermista's and Lonnie's eyes are changed, Kyle's eyes are the only ones left that look exactly like Adora's. Every other character has either solid black eyes, or whatever it is Glimmer and Angella have going on.

I made a megapost about this once before like four years ago.

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

the problem with visual novels is that they are novels, but they are almost exclusively sold on video game distribution platforms, which means that they're novels being read by gamers who are by and large entirely unequipped to critique that medium

Sadly I think Fujimobro fucked up with Reze. See, her story ends in a very nice way, dying and haunting the narrative and serving as a meaningful parallel to Denji and Makima. But then she turns out to not be dead and rather a controlled puppet. Which yes is partly fanservice buuut it does add a bit of tragedy plus it makes sense for Makima to do that plus the part ends shortly after Makimas defeat. So the weapon humans fate is left open ended and can be interpreted either positively or negatively, and I think its good to have a certain level of ambiguity at the end.

But then part 2 rolls around which kinda forces you to address them. And they went with "the weapon humans are alive and are either forced to work with public safety or are church terrorists." So, giving us an answer to that will inevitably make us wanna know where Reze is. But that just never comes up. And honestly, I think that crosses the line of missed opportunity to just straight up a neglected plot point. Rezes fate is never addressed because its inconvenient to Fujimotos story. He doesn't know how to answer the question of Reze and he probably didn't want her to be around at all, yet he wrote it in such a way that she's all but confirmed to be alive somewhere.

And this does not really have a fix. Even if Reze came back, what would she do? If she were a love interest, that'd conflict with Asa and Yorus place in the story. Afterall, their relationship with Denji and Chainsaw man is low-key the entire premise of the part. So if Reze can't be a love interest, what else would she do? Just hang around? She's a maybe a tad overpowered, not to mention, what would she even do or contribute to the story? Would she make it any better at all? Maybe not, which is why she *wasn't* there.

What I'm saying is Fijimotor made a teensy little mistake by keeping Reze alive in the control devil arc. He probably just didn't realize the problem this would cause later and he elected to ignore her existence come part 2 because she didn't fit in the direction. Reze only works if you do some very fundamental changes to the whole part. Sad!
