just here for sapphic stuff

Gotta hand it to Arknights they were really cooking when they thought of the Demonic Christlike Figure Bunny x Angelic Christlike Figure Bunny Yuri

Warhammer 40,000 is of course, uh, not unproblematic. But patterning orks specifically and incredibly blatantly off English football hooligan culture was probably simultaneously the least bigoted and most creative thing literally anyone did with the concept of 'the orc' at any point in the 1980s

"uh huh. and why didn't you say anything about this when you were in the infinitely precarious position of being a child with practically no rights surrounded by adults who could have and would have and maybe even did gaslight and discount and argue over and bully and emotionally or physically or sexually abuse you into complying with their ideas of who you ought to be? hmm? why didn't you mention this at the time in your life when nobody would have taken you seriously or believed that you are an honest and trustworthy narrator of your experiences & identity? huh? 🤡"

very fucking telling that BOTH transfem posters here are banned.

I've seen much more significantly heinous acts from cisgender TME people obviously, and I've seen trans women do awful things too, but my intent here is to point out that TME trans people often find themselves close to trans women, and in that position they can easily fail to respect the position of privilege they have over her

I'd like to say, too, that if you find yourself in a position like this... it's not shameful to have privilege over someone! in fact it's a power that you can use to support and protect her! I really don't say shit like this to browbeat people for simply being TME

that trans woman's partner who handwrung about her getting bottom surgery btw, they once congratulated themself around us for being accepting of her transition and sticking with her. like, wow, so romantic. here's your medal. while we're at it can we talk about the time she told me you said she was unattractive :)

you know I think maybe it's not at all actually praiseworthy to merely tolerate trans women, especially as a trans person yourself. you do actually have to treat her right. and you're gonna want to be sitting down for this, but medals are not awarded for that either

can you imagine, too, if this trans woman had patted herself on the back for not dumping her partner when they came out as nonbinary? that would be so much more obviously weird, wouldn't it? that alone, imo, reveals the power imbalance. when merely tolerating a marginalized group is praiseworthy, you can get away with a lot
