sorry but why promote old harry potter fanart? do you know about all the harm jkr does to the trans community? you're one of my fave artists, can you like not support bigots?

ummmm yeah, about that... the harm that jkr has done to the trans community is ZERO

some people on this website think they can hold the discourse hostage by BANNING A BOOK and CHANGING A FLAG. DOES THAT SOUND VERY "WOKE" TO YOU?

and you can believe differently, it is ok to disagree, but to think you can control what i REBLOG because you personally believe that people talking about anything related to the books is HARM somehow. IT'S NOT HARM. HARM IS HARM.

jk rowling has done 2 things: she's funding a women's shelter. and she says she doesn't think minors should have cosmetic surgery to their genitals because it hurts them and they are being lied to. surgeons ARE lying to queer people to get them to buy surgery. this is a CAPITALIST issue, AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FUCKING HARRY POTTER.

it just goes to show how weak the argument is when trans rights activists say that you can't even TALK to terfs, that you should just punch them and attack them, that you can't even REBLOG GAY WOLFSTAR FANART FROM 2008, or else you are a THREAT to the trans movement. if the trans movement is threatened, so much, by dorcas meadowes and marlene mckinnon, then it is simply not strong enough to survive. I'm sorry. but stonewall was out here happening when it was ILLEGAL for men to do drag. I think it can handle a popular childrens' book series, with multiple crossdressing scenes in it, being SPOKEN about on tumblr.com. It actually kind of disgusts and confuses me that this is the new "praxis," it is very suspicious and scary IMO

HAPPY PRIDE

I have been eating/sleeping/breathing game design to prep for Red Salem and I thought it'd be a good exercise to post a

Mixtape Script Doctor

the biggest problem with the story is that there's no stakes, no motive, no conflict, and no character development. this is a saccharine rose-tinted vibes only mocktail trying so hard to romanticize youth it swings around to being totally alien and false

so, treatment numero uno, stacy needs to acknowledge her flaws and change, for better or for worse. (probably better, considering the game's tone). her friends should be annoyed by her mixtape monologuing, have their own opinions about what the song should be, and push back on her obsession with "the soundtrack she planned" while more serious shit it going on

stacy being callous about cassandra's dad isn't wrong, but just a few dialogue options could go a long way in making your relationship feel personal. are you more sympathetic or rebellious to her problem? this could effect cassandra's actions, attitude towards you, her father, and jenny

likewise with slater. in flashbacks, you could have the option to come on to slater, but it goes badly, adding depth to the player character that can be achieved by just a few lines from slater. or, if you go the other way, plays out like you rejected slater... classic teenage misunderstanding and anxiety. the stakes are still low—teen love, you're obviously still friends. but it'd add conflict and tension to the 3 hours of exposition we got...

Mixtape wants me to think being a teenager feels like flying, but being a teenager feels like ass! you have to grow up, you have to leave everything behind, your emotions are turned up to 11, and nobody takes you seriously. Sure there are moments of liberation and excitement, but those highs can't be felt without the lows

which brings me to Bella Deltone. it's established that the extremely pretentious and overly confident Stacy has chosen to "stalk" this woman for a chance at a career instead of going on a road trip her friends have been planning all year. for a minute, it seems like this may be the climax of the whole story. it isn't. it comes to nothing.

instead of trying to make a climax out of Cassandra's totally out of left field, random, uncalled for "standing up to her dad" for setting a house on fire—WHICH WOULDNT WORK—the friends could change a leg of their trip to incorporate stacy's new york pipedream... with or without Jenny Goodspeed, depending how much of an asshole you've made Stacy

Stacy experiencing the relatable emotional low of having your dreams crushed as a teen would naturally lead to a satisfying conclusion where she and her friends ride off into the sunset enjoying her music and not having to make it about how trying to join the industry is more important than your friends 🙄

it'd still need work because it's such a nothingburger, maybe taking advantage of the giant map they built and letting me walk around?? but it's a start

Really gonna need society and people at large to get it through their skulls that a trans woman was always a woman and was never in fact a cis boy even if you didn’t know she was trans she wasn’t being perceived and treated as a normal boy

Like seriously I am not a boy in fact I was never a boy, I was forced to grow up in ‘boys’ spaces through no say or agency of my own (and yes it WAS incredibly violent and traumatic love how you downplay that all the fucking time) and let me be clear I saw the way you treated those boys and I saw the way those boys treated each other and that’s not how I was treated

[futchcassidy]

but I was a little cis girl in that environment and i saw how you were treated and that's not how I or other young girls were treated, can you get THAT through your thick skull?

[lostdollbaby]

respectfully, there was no mention of your circumstances so please see yourself out futchcassidy. try filtering text with empathy or compassion next time because this really had nothing to do with you. thank you in advance for your understanding

[futchcassidy]

yeah sure so I come across someone in the street shouting that words don't have meaning and thousands of people stomping and clapping in agreement, but I should just "filter text with empathy and compassion" by just accepting that a child born and raised as a boy experienced life as a girl "because that's what i saw."

uhhhh hi hello, I'm also a human being, having some empathy and compassion by recognizing my FEELING that experiencing homophobia, transphobia, and of course sexism as a child being socialized as male is DISTINCT from the experience of cis girlhood?

because somehow, for the first time in my life, girlhood has NOTHING to do with me?

[lostdollbaby]

well text and shouting are different, so what i meant was consider what you’re reading as well as typing and where. filter TEXT because you can. and let me reiterate-this ain’t about you.

the amount of pushing us to behave as boys and our ability to weather it or fold to the pressure and fit in is close to what we’re talking about. you’re talking about something entirely different it seems. looks like maybe envy or jealousy (?) but consider yourself lucky you got to have a girlhood, we did not.

i’m sure you can make your own post about it, whatever your grievance, and when someone starts talking about their own shit (that is well and truly off topic) you can see for yourself how that sits with you . please leave with grace, you shouldn’t feel mad or hurt, this never had anything to do with you. thank you sister, and i’m sorry you don’t understand, i wish you could.

it’s sorta like straight/gay and the pressure to be straight from everyone and everything in the world but it’s way worse because it’s your whole person, not just your attraction. hope that helps, though it’s so hard for most folks to grasp. i’m happy for you having a girlhood but our girlhood was an imposed boyhood, and that’s all OP was saying. it was not about you

[buttrrrcup]

pedantry doesn't make you right, it just makes you annoying.

but "gay people only experience prejudice based on their attraction, not on being gender-nonconforming" is so insanely hateful and homophobic it's insulting

and then you go and block me so you can tell yourself you got the last word. LOL!
