If people have accused you of transphobia and you mock them for it and draw a caricature, you’re part of the problem. You’re no better than the right at this point. Kind of thought your anons were coming out of left field but I see they had a point. You’re wretched and you don’t deserve this show.
if i am accused of transphobia (and biphobia)––especially when 1. its accompanied by a wish for me (and anyone else who fell under their demographic of choice) to die 2. the fuss is about lestat being drawn fat/beefy/muscular or with otherwise "hypermasculine" traits in lieu of "gnc features" Whatever the Fuck That Means! 3. they unironically grouped "lestat haters" with transphobia and biphobia––i, a trans person, am allowed to question it and whether or not it was raised in good faith. (it wasnt.)
even moreso when its in response to My personal interpretation of a fictional character....and that character is canonically a man.
i headcanon lestat as amab nonbinary/genderqueer. (this post is old and the headcanons have slightly evolved, but MY base hc for lestat's gender identity is still the same.) by default, all of MY depictions of the characters are of MY headcanons from MY fanon regardless of whether or not its obvious to YOU.
MY headcanons are dear to me because they are drawn from facets of MY life as a queer black person. And Yes MY Identity As A Black Person Is Fundamentally Tied With MY Identity As A Trans Person. i am openly queer irl, have been for nearly a decade, and will Continue to be for the rest of my life. when you attack my queerness you attack my blackness as well. EYE dont get to separate my blackness from my queerness when it comes to MY lived experience and im not gonna watch as yall try to do it to me. i will remind you at every turn.
anyway, i dont care to give the benefit of the doubt when someone is openly wishing death on me and others, regardless of how indirect or coy they want to be about it after being confronted. im not playing these games. their beef is with me.
the reason im being called transphobic is because people >>>assumed<<<< that that "caricature" (aka an illustration with my character design for the fictional vampire lestat de lioncourt) was depicting lestat as a trans woman.
(insert the screenshot of someone saying "no cis man is referring to himself with feminine pronouns" and i think they said cis men dont do drag either? which. like. ????? how can you have the gall to eat up trixie and katyas iwtv reaction video and then turn around and hold/agree with a sentiment that completely invalidates their identities as drag queens??? 😭)
but its not [depicting lestat as a trans woman.] it is depicting a genderqueer lestat in drag in a self-indulgent costume of my choice. this isnt up for debate.
if you want to continue to assert otherwise then that is not a reflection of me but a reflection of how YOU view not only trans women, but gender nonconformity in tme people
im not going to entertain the no nuance numbskulls pretending to give a shit about trans women (or trans people in general); pretending that theyre not the next-coming of kiwifarms users; pretending as if this shit is anything more than another attempt in the so-far 2 year long harassment campaign against me.
you can have your fanon, just do not make Your inability to separate fanon from canon my problem.
[🚨🚨🚨🚨SARCASM🚨🚨🚨🚨] but yeah, im [🚨🚨🚨🚨SARCASM🚨🚨🚨🚨] no better than the entirety of the right wing political sphere [🚨🚨🚨🚨SARCASM🚨🚨🚨🚨] as a black trans person bc i dared [🚨🚨🚨🚨SARCASM🚨🚨🚨🚨] to interpret lestats queerness differently and wasnt scared to tell people that their assumptions were wrong;[🚨🚨🚨🚨SARCASM🚨🚨🚨🚨] i am definitely going to take this seriously. [🚨🚨🚨🚨SARCASM🚨🚨🚨🚨]
anyway peep the design rationale board
