I lost tons of queer friends and mutuals during the ace discourse. Then they came for the NBs. Then the bisexuals and pans. Then the polyams. Now transmascs & men are on their plates.
FUCK every miserable loser who throws our brothers under the bus.
Transandrophobia is the unique oppression against trans men for being trans men right? You see the problem?
This is assuming that trans men aren’t only oppressed under the axis of being trans, but also of being a man. Since misandry is not real, transmisandry isn’t real.
I’m not saying transmascs aren’t oppressed, they very much are, but they aren’t oppressed for being men, cuz that isn’t possible.
The word you’re looking for is transphobia, or sometimes misogyny in situations where people call that transandrophobia when it’s directed against trans men.
Transandrophobia is therefore transmisogynistic because it’s 1. implying that all trans people are equally affected by anti-trans hate (or even that trans men are affected more), and 2. the person who came up with this term is a terf
“Transandrophobia is therefore transmisogynistic because it’s 1. implying that all trans people are equally affected by anti-trans hate (or even that trans men are affected more), and 2. the person who came up with this term is a terf”
is it feminist to call women miserable losers for pointing out that men are treated better than women? Am I missing the point where doing shit like this is anything other than blatant sexism?
But sure go on, keep convincing us that the transandrophobia movement isn't deeply, deeply transmisogynist and misogynist in general. I'll wait.
it's simple. i think if you make fun of bridget thigh high collar animal noise girls you should be killed immediately and brutally. i think if you're mean to girls who are struggling to recover from a lifetime of trauma and mistreatment that is renewed every time they go outside you are lower than dirt. i cannot tolerate it i just cant.
trying for a child with you for months and the pregnancy test finally comes back positive. we're overjoyed and spend the night celebrating. we go to bed afterwards. you wake up and im gone. ive blocked you on everything. you never see me again. i abort the child and charge it to your debit card. i hate you.
months pass by and you think about this constantly. you cant figure out why i did this. youre distraught. you lock yourself in your room and you break off contact with everyone you know. lying in bed one day you have a sudden moment of clarity. you understand completely. its as obvious to you as anything. you finally get it. he's called that because. he makes kojima games
one thing I've noticed about people who take issue with TMA/TME is that they always construct some fictional scenario whereby the TME person will be asked/preassured to disclose their TME status by the TMA person and how this is bad. This is extremely funny to me cuz not only is the inverse INFINETELY more common (afab only events, (TME) lesbian meetups, etc. the amount of TME queers who have asked me some variation of "so do you have a penis?" "are you a tranny or just a drag queen" "are those real?" *gesturing at my boobs*, is in the middling double digits) but also, every single TME person I've ever interacted with has made their TME status abundantly clear by the way they act around me/talk to me, usually within the first 10 minutes.
this tells me they both don't realize how they act around transfems and also that they don't talk to that many of us to begin with, if this hypothetical is something they believe is likely to happen.
Like, I don't need to ask you. you're gonna let me know wether I like it or not.
Queer unity has been trying as hard as possible to downplay any possible transfem issue. Pay gap adding up to thousands a year? Not a big deal. V coding? Never mention it. Trans women are much more likely to be sent to an early grave than their male counterparts? Stop bringing that up. Trans people collaborating with kiwifarms? Just internet drama.
You know what IS an important issue? Getting called a fucking birthday boy. They get all hands on deck about it. They will write VERY long posts about how important it is you not use it, and that anyone who does must be punished as severely as possible
There's only one explanation. The lives of trans women are so worthless to them, so fucking disposable, that a trans man getting invalidated is actually more important to them. That's how these people, who demand we view them as family and allies, who think we should be ready to die for them, view us.
I know people who treat house flies with more respect than that.
forever reminded of this fucking yt reply i got in a thread abt transmisogyny, this kinda attitude is so common. even when you do bring up shit that disproportionately or exclusively affects transfems the response is "what abt me" or downplaying it
"Damn, v-coding sounds terrible... I hope they don't do that to trans men, too!"
Because obviously it's *bad* when it happens to trans women, but oh dear god, THINK OF THE TRANS MEN that this might hypothetically happen to in a different situation!!
I'm going to fucking cry. Trans women are so unvalued, these people look at the reality that trans women have to wake up to every single day, and they respond with "yeah, it's terrible when the sex slave gets raped. That must really hurt! But god, imagine if a HUMAN was raped instead? HORROR!"
It's been just over a year since Deltarune chapters 3 & 4 released! I did the 3D work, which mostly means Tenna 📺 I figured it's been long enough to share some "behind the scenes" stuff, starting with a look at the Maya file for his static poses...
I'd individually render the poses to get that early 3D shine ✨ Here's some of them at their original resolutions! I would work from text descriptions from Toby, and sometimes there'd be a Paint sketch to help out. Gigi drew the concept that I modeled from and some poses too!
I had a lot of fun pushing myself to match the dynamic poses Toby had in mind for Tenna - making him so crazy and expressive was something I couldn't have done without his prompts. He'd draw the faces on afterward too, which really brought Tenna to life!
(lots more after the Read More cut...!)
Here are some of the Paint sketches Toby drew to help me with specific Tenna poses! I love seeing his drawings LOL, genuinely really good and evocative 👍
There was a time when I was struggling to capture what he wanted for these specific Tenna poses… Until Toby acted them out himself, and I thought, "Ah, it's like that. I understand." and then I was able to make them just how he pictured them.
When looking through the renders and choosing what to share, I laughed at these two… Remember when Tenna had a gun? Remember when he bent over in a very specific way that might remind you of another, different image? No? Maybe you don't…? Well. Don't worry about it.
These ones are cute… Tenna is pretty cute sometimes! Has anyone ever thought this? Actually, before people knew he was going to be a strange 3D sprite the Whole Time, I was worried people wouldn't like the style and it'd sour people's views on him. I'm glad that didn't happen.
Toby thought it would be funny to have Tenna do some really smooth, mocapped animations sometimes - specifically free to use ones that often pop up in other things. An extra funny part to me is how many frames these take up in the game, and how his tails are stuck to his legs…
Speaking of mocap, Toby wanted Tenna to use custom mocap animations as far back as 2016 - Ten(na) years ago! I got an Xbox Kinect at the time and learnt how to set this up, but then never used it. Here's a look at messing with mocaped stuff again in 2022. So Normal.
Don't bother trying to help him here, he's just being dramatic 🙄
I particularly like these poses - I think I improvised most of these just based off the context they get used in… I always liked posing his tie and coat tails as if they were also parts of his body he could move. Which I guess they are?
After I rendered out the individual poses in high quality, I'd force the color palette to be limited to just a few shades and then I'd shrink the result down to pixel sized sprites. Like these! I'd tidy them up a little, but they'd really get improved on at the pixel scale by Clairvoire.
As well as Tenna's sprites, I also worked on his intro "movie"…! Seeing people be completely overloaded by this on first playthroughs would always make me laugh. In game, there's a ton of extra editing done by Everdraed, but my unedited cut looks like this ⬇️
This was the entire storyboard I had to work from, and I'm realizing now that there's the note "put him in car etc" that I never did and actually don't know what it would mean exactly. Working on this had me listen to the accompanying audio many times, but it's good so it's okay.
Here are a bunch of random clips of the Maya project for Tenna's intro movie. This is how movies get made, I think!! Yeah… Just like this.
Say it with him, folks!!
For the 3D Ralsei clip from the intro, Toby really wanted it to look a certain way, and drew more sketches for guiding me with this part than any other. They genuinely helped.
Remember how Toby's original storyboard has the note "covered in slime and shrinks"? That meant I had to learn how to make 3D slime. You can see my tech advancing here.
I'm really happy with how the final Tenna animation at the end of the intro movie turned out! It wouldn't look as good if it wasn't for some 2D animation to reference from SmallBuStudio, so thank you to them for the help! Tenna is cute… Huh, I already said that…?
Phew!! That's a lot of Tenna. I hope it was fun to look through my posts! Oh, one more thing - the Fangamer Mr. Tenna Figurine just straight up uses the 3D model I made, which I think is really funny and cool and nice. Check it out if you want! Thanks for reading!
cuz it got wiped from the internet: transfems it's so cute to want to be cute. do what you think makes you cute, it's ok if you feel awkward that's cute too. you can be yourself, even if you don't think that's very cute, you will still be the worlds cutest girl. i love you
in the US we love to create places (in black neighborhoods, in latina neighborhoods, etc) where crime "happens." really crime is something created by the state and placed on the people living in these places. this produces a "group-differentiated vulnerability to premature death" (Ruthie Gilmore). black and brown lives are devalued, shortened, and nullified. the US is a racist state and it's a settler state. if you devalue a people and a place and if you exert tight control over it, remove people (incarcerate or kill), devalue their labor and prevent them from having any connection to the land you make it easier for white people to accumulate wealth capital and real estate. white supremacy is materially supported by crime being something we believe is real. crime is something the state creates to further white supremacy, not something a racialized other commits in a dangerous desperate place
