Kind of funny but years ago an artist i followed on Twitter had someone bothering them/asking them to censor art of a transmasc character with breasts because it made them dysphoric and it pissed me off so bad that I almost entirely avoid drawing men who've had top surgery or an equivalent. Like the way Other People depict bodies doesn't have to be tailored to your personal hangups. I don't really care if you only want to engage with idealized images of what you think a trans body should look like, or what you look like or what you want to look like, different people have different relationships with themselves and this sort of thing and they're not hurting you by using art to explore that
#i have weird nasty hangups with body stuff idk#because this is tumblr im not talking about like outright biggoted or caricatured depictions#also sometimes certain things just outright dont make sense for a character - like this characters time period or personality or#situation or level of self awareness don't make sense for certain things#and like.. its fine#misc#delete later#probably#its not like im not sympathetic but telling someone not to draw art of a character that looks like themself because it makes YOu feel bad#about your own apparance is fucked lol#idk how common this even is and i don't go looking for this kind of thing#but it stuck with me lol
