oh, what a way to start off pride month :"-)
i genuinely cried tears of joy when i saw the post of killer in a trans jacket; even more so when i saw superyoumna's drawings of these two in pride outfits.
when the posts about recognizing the trans allegory with cross were made, i was so estatic for one of the most popular and influential sanses to be at least trans-coded & drawn to show support, if not actually canonly trans. then those posts were deleted, erased after a little while, with no further outward word or support towards the community from jakei. it was a hurtful disappointment that made the support seem insincere.
to see killer confirmed to be trans and with a gay man, without any cowardice or shame — no backpedaling, or hesitation — makes me so happy and seen, as i'm sure many other trans UTMV fans feel too because of this. in a time where hatred and fear towards transgender people is at an a terrifying high, all of us around the world are going through horrible hardships. representation of us in media is becoming less and less common, because it's not "trendy" to support us anymore. so as a trans person, thank you. 💛
