Reddit is so transphobic
Cis het guy here, but am I wrong in thinking that most of the trans people I see online have anime avatars?
God, they’re STILL going on about this shit? Don’t they have anything better to do?
God, what’s up with anime fans being such asshats? I love anime myself so it isn’t a necessary thing but there’s so many of them.
my theory is that it used to be a niche thing that people were kind of ostracised for (in schools anyway), but got mainstream, so the “OG” fans resented the “normies” invading “their space” and got more and more reactionary
same deal with gamers
God I took a look at the subreddit and the arguments are so dumb. “Well this word is an offensive slur thrown against trans people by all the most awful corners of the internet and is perceived as such by everyone aware of these issues, but we use it in a totally cool way. People just don’t UNDERSTAND us.” If it really didn’t matter, just choose a different fucking word. One that isn’t so loaded.
I always wonder whether places like this are truly self-deluding themselves on the hateful nature of their own language, or if they are completely aware and just cynically lying about their own beliefs in order to spare themselves scrutiny.
