don't worry those fad players always flake out, especially if its a gacha like genshin

gacha players never stick to a character long term

there's a movie with michelle rodriguez and sigourney weaver where they force a sex change on a hitman as retaliation for killing the surgeon's brother. it's... yeah. it's a thing.

the assignment, if anyone's wondering of the name.

or they're from a historical canon where top surgery or hormones aren't possible and somehow they've totally medically transitioned because drawing men with boobs gets you cancelled on twitter

What... does this have to do with my comment anon? Just wondering.

This OC looks interesting, let me just check their journal to get a better feel for who in my muselist would be the most interesting to tag them with!

Empty journal

Empty profile

... nevermind then.

it's a realistic world canon with enough medical advancement that apparently this surgery took place with minimal scarring of a transition and here's a literal canon example of someone doing a transition surgery and the effects. i figured it featured in the conversation as an interesting fact.

or do you have an issue with conversations growing organically?

No that makes sense. The "forced transition" part kind of threw me is all. I find that kind of stuff weird.

https://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/7616072.html <- someone else linked it but this is the specific meme i was thinking of

And none of them remember/acknowledge that there's not an insignificant number of completely cis guys that have top surgery scars too - they're not the magic signifier key of 'this person is trans' like Those Fanartists seem to think.

frankly I respect the writers/artists who outright admit they're writing futanari/herm/etc more - least they're honest it's a sex fantasy for them.

+1 i've blocked the relevant tag in fandoms where this is common. it's weird and uncomfortable to see people insist they're writing it ~respectfully~ because they used the trans character tag but when you actually read it it just comes off like they wanted to write a/b/o without the rapey overtones

not for nothing anon but there are actual real world examples of that which aren't movies. surgeries and scar care has advanced that there are plenty of trans men who barely have any visible scars. injecting your fact doesn't really add anything to the conversation except that it makes you look badly informed (and so does using "sex change" which is an outdated term now fyi)

shoot, i guess i'm doing it wrong, i've been playing my gacha character for a year and a half now

tbh as a trans person i would much rather interact with one of those people because they're honest about what they're in it for and aren't trying to dress it up as "representation."

Seriously. I'll take fun feminisation/cuntboy stuff over uwu trans boi stuff any day.

every time this topic comes up i'm dying to know what constitutes a non-fad canon by wg standards. seems like any canon anons don't like gets called a fad even after it's been out and played from for years and years

come on anons, what enduring classics are you playing from?charles dickens? casablanca (1942)? og star trek?

Makes me glad to play from more obscure canons that my character who smoke can light up and no one thinks anything about it.

i actually like a/b/o depending on how the world is built - some of that comes off as trans fetish too if they're big up on afab omega bodies which is starting to be a thing...but if we're just talking about people emitting pheromones and having dramatic sex in public i'm there for it

Fire Emblem Fates

Tbh makes me want someone to yell at my high fantasy character for smoking and having them be like ?? What's cancer?? So the soapbox player has to Google things.

if it's popular and has more than 2 journals floating around it's a fad canon according to anons

oh yeah i absolutely know what you mean, i don't read these anymore either because i've only ever found a handful that didn't make it weird

i'm going through with it, trust me, my tits are enormous and i can't live like this

i've also seen the scar-licking a few times which is EXTREMELY creepy. i think in rare cases it's trans people who are dealing with a lot of internalized bullshit who are drawing this stuff but yeah, in large part it's cis artists with a kink or who are otherwise doing it for clout, which imo is just as bad

honestly same, at least i know what these people are about and that they're not doing it to score woke points

so then the real problem is that the "my obscure characters get no tags" anons and the "I don't want to tag fad canons" anons are here complaining instead of tagging each other
