Reddit is so transphobic
(not defending them, but) Most of them don’t seem to have a specific problem with trans people, they’re just highly reactionary and extremely hostile to the idea that the words they use and the tropes they perpetuate are harmful or alienating to trans people.
I think part of it is also that a lot of younger weebs are trying to emulate what they perceive the online anime community as being, but in doing so end up clinging on to the most random jokes/tropes and running them into the ground. I guarantee that most of the people complaining on Reddit are 16 or under.
That makes sense. That would also explain why I’ve seen nothing but acceptance at anime conventions, most con goers there were over 16.
There is definitely a portion of the sub that is either ambivalent towards the new rule or actively support it, they just don’t want to speak up in front of the angry hoard. Within a week or two, the children on the sub will get tired of complaining and things will go back to normal with them going back to switching between posting shitty Re:Zero and Oregairu memes depending on which one aired the most recently
Oh, trust me, the terminally online weebs hate the idea of conventions and think that people walking around like the weebs they are in public is cringe.
