Thank you. I’ll cross post there as well

Alright! Interesting, I can try that.

I’ve never watched any of those, so I can’t actually attest to any of those, but I’m curious to know how it shows that they’re trans characters without stating it blatantly?

I assume one is from Yu-Gi-Oh, and the other from Sailor Moon or Card Captor Sakura?

I can imagine this strikes a chord with many. Correct me if I’m wrong here, as I’m eager to learn, but I’m under the impression most trans people just want to be who they feel like they are and then just enjoy life.

Like… for a trans woman, the trans part becomes unimportant, but the woman part remains the whole point

Dude. Heroes 3 is SO GOOD. I completely get it.

Nobody is probably going to care, but I just had a realization.

I am the kind of person who has always appreciated a good laugh, so I used to frequent old meme sites. Some years ago, I would’ve been wondering why this comic implies these women are transfem when the ✨✨L O R E✨✨ doesn’t say any of this.

Due to the aforementioned meme sites, I might have also been a little annoyed at this as well, because on those meme sites, that seemed to be the prevalent take.

It’s been a while, but I remember gamergate being a turning point for me. I started realizing that… Huh… These people actually fucking suck, and I got out of those areas.

I came across this comic while checking out /c/all, and… well… That’s when the realization hit.

First thought: “I don’t remember any of these women being trans in the ✨✨L O R E✨✨, but who cares? I learned about gels being a thing, and the Bowsette point is actually pretty funny. Wow, it really doesn’t matter (nor ever should have mattered) how these characters are represented in fan comics.”

…

Second thought: “Man, I’m so happy you guys get to share stuff like this. Y’all are brave and I’m really glad you’re getting the possibility of being yourselves! It’s something a lot of people take for granted!”

You guys rule. Don’t let anyone stop you from enjoying yourselves and just… existing as yourselves.

It’s been at least 10 years since I reached the point where I admire your bravery instead of thinking it was… I don’t even know?? Attention seeking?? It was a completely irrational narrative being pushed on those sites, but once I got out, started thinking a bit for myself, I saw how destructive that was.

Seeing this comic just gave such a stark reminder of the difference a decade can do on a person, so… Thank you for letting me compare and contrast.

Is nobara more or less unhinged than Bazzite?

I had a very busy week, so I couldn’t respond before now. Thank you very much. I hella appreciate it

It’s been so long, I’ve honestly forgotten how. I could use a quick crash course considering how risky it all feels with ISP surveillance and all that jazz

Greenland too

Well… There are drugs that’ll let you THINK you’re doing all that, and that’s almost as good, right?

I actually agree. He wiped off his clown make-up.

It’s sad it took this long, but if enough people have this kind of realization, then the country may still heal. It’s one less person squabbling with others in the same class, and I’m led to believe that is what the ruling class fears most.

Naive is probably the exact word for the feeling I have. Good pick

I really read this as inspirational and cool once upon a time. Part of me still does. There’s a lot of good we’ve done on social media that make my trans friends and family more safe in who they are, broadly speaking…

But there’s also a whole lotta bad as well, and it’s been increasingly less OUR internet as the tech companies just monopolize and censor and steal data.

I’m not so sure I can manage to find this time mag cover as inspirational anymore.

Came here to say this exact thing. Just goes to show it’s always a liiiiittle worse than you’d expect with these files

Yeah, but this person has never met them :P

Is “Pal” also gender inclusive? I got this weird feeling that a pal is more of a little boy than a girl?

This is the first I’m hearing of Affinity. What makes it great? :)

I recently played Doom Eternal, and I swear they’ve done some black magic with that game. It seems crazy well optimized. Very happy with it!
