Oh god, all of this. Also, when trans!Chihiro people insist that Mondo killed him in a fit of TRANSPANIC! Fuck that. Someone on tumblr even went through the canon and posted examples proving that Chihiro is male and got shit on for that, too.
"glad to know that people are so disgusted that a character might be like me that you have to go through the canon to prove that he's not"
It wouldn't be so bad if they wouldn't insist that Trans!Chihiro is canon.
It's utterly ridiculous how people are saying Mondo killed Chihiro because of transpanic. Mondo explicitly states that he killed him out of jealousy and paranoia, not because of Chihiro revealing his secret.
And what really frustrates me are the people who say "Chihiro is canonically trans, but Chihiro was a victim of bad writing because the writers are cismen!!!" ...except Chihiro has never once said he wants to be a girl, or said anything about identifying as female.

Whaaaaaat the fuck. I'm pretty sure that Mondo even arranged the placement of Chihiro's lifeless body to try keeping the others from finding out about his secret as much as possible, and not to mention Mondo clearly said he snapped on Chihiro because the tiny little kid was shaping up to be braver than Mondo was and may ever be, so wouldn't that disprove the "TRANSPANIC" bullshit?
yep, but a lot of them write mondo's story off as a lie like monobear's because he's chihiro's murderer. even though his story is the same in the manga and counting his story as a lie makes the case much worse than it's meant to be.
it's p. sad since mondo being someone who's willing to go so far to keep chihiro's secret a secret like he promised and ending up killing him in a fit of jealousy for his mental strength makes me think he's not the kind of guy who'd kill someone in a fit of transpanic at all.
That's really one of the biggest things I dislike about a lot of the "Chihiro is trans" people. If they want to think Chihiro is trans, fine. But when they start to change the motivations (and kind of, personalities) of OTHER CHARACTERS to suit their version of canon, it makes me angry. While Mondo is a rough kind of guy, he's not a bigot or a transphobe just because they want him to be.
