Propaganda: "I don't think I need to explain since there are people in the Persona 4 fandom can do a better job of that then I can. And before anyone tries to argue that Naoto's arc is being accepted as a female police officer, we know; this is just for funsies"

For both the propaganda and Anti-Propaganda, I have added a very unique last poll option, for a very unique Blorbo

[could-t-have-saved-him]

What does “It Would Make Him Better (Negative)” and “It Would Make Him Worse (Positive)” mean?

I usually leave that up interpretation, but my own personal interpretation is this

It would make him better (Negative): Testosterone would help him so much that my blorbo would not longer be riddled with that delicious angst potential, and that would make me sad.

It would make him worse (Positive): Testosterone and transition would cause a myriad of other problems, such as removing a barrier in his self confidence (as a result of dysphoria) that would make him turn full villain. This would up the delicious angst potential, which makes me evil laugh with delight.

Hope this clears things up <3

Could T Have Saved Him: Ashley Williams from the Mass Effect Trilogy

Yes

No

It would make him better (Negative)

It would make him worse (Positive)

Voting ended onApr 14, 2025

Submitted by: Me!!!

Propaganda: A large part of Ashley's character arc is exhibiting hatred and distrust of people around her, large in part to internalized issues. He's probably hating on the male alien population of the Normandy cause he wishes he could be them.

Could T Have Saved Him: Powder/Jinx from Arcane

Yes

No

It would make him better (Negative)

It would make him worse (Positive)

Gender Euphoria, but still doomed

Voting ended onApr 14, 2025

Submitted by: Me!!!

Propaganda: A large part of his character Arc in season 1 is the fight between Powder and Jinx as they relate to his own identity. This culminates in the last episode, where other people are fighting for "their version" of him to win. This idea of people trying to tell you who you are when you're already confused about it is very transmasculine. I don't think it would help in the class war, however.

Yes

No

Propaganda: This is based purely on the fact that he quotes transmasc icon Raggedy Andy in episode four, rather than Raggedy Ann.

Could T Have Saved Him: Chloe Price from Life is Strange

Yes

No

It would make him better (Negative)

It would make him worse (Positive)

Voting ended onApr 11, 2025

Propaganda: Chloe is disillusioned by life and by people, having been doomed by the narrative since he was a child. I don't think T would have stopped all that happened, but perhaps it could have solved the dysphoria

Could T Have Saved Him: Max Caulfield from Life is Strange

Yes

No

It would make him better (Negative)

It would make him worse (Positive)

Voting ended onApr 10, 2025

Submitted by: Me!!

Propaganda: Max Caulfield, along with having the trope of "neutralized version of a feminine name," seems to fit the mold of someone insecure in themselves that a lot of trans people embody, specifically before realizing they are trans. He has not found confidence in his personhood, his body (as heavily implied by environmental storytelling, check the wiki), and his artistic expression because of gender dysphoria. Plus, all trans men should have inexplicable superpowers.

Mod Propaganda: Read the plot summary of the movie on Wikipedia. It sounds like my man is going through it. Its giving "Overcompensating for these feelings of transness by going in the opposite direction and becoming very religiously devout" Among other things...

Mod Propaganda: Just look at that (I assume promotional?) image. That is the most "baby trans man trying to look cool" image I have ever seen. The expression? The laser in the back? Like those werewolf images. (Affectionate)

Propaganda: "It probably wouldn’t save him but the thought still counts"

Mod Propaganda: Admittedly, I do not know this character. However, having a masculine/gender neutral nickname of your birth name is very transmasculine. That's just my two cents

Could T Have Saved Him: Riza Hawkeye from Fullmetal Alchemist

Yes

No

It would make him better (Negative)

It would make him worse (Positive)

Mod Propaganda: The Fullmetal Alchemist fandom wiki describes him as follows: "beneath [his] professional aura [and no-nonsense attitude] is a kind soul who understands the difficulty of carrying a heavy burden" which is a very transgender sentence to me.

Could T Have Saved Him: Rayla from the Dragon Prince

Yes

No

It would make him better (Negative)

It would make him worse (Positive)

Propaganda: Rayla has always been surrounded by guys to the point that he never really considered himself to be anything other than just one of the guys. Classic trans man befriending a bunch of guys because anything else would feel off for some reason. I don't think it would save him from Aaravos, but with the power of transgender, anything could happen
