FAQ under the readmore!
• Why do you use mech/mecha to describe girl robots?
I don't believe in the mech/femme binary, i think that's dumb. Secondly, IDs are meant to give a visual description for people who for one reason or another may not have access to the image. Femme is vague and fandom-centric lingo, while "mech" is more widely understood to refer to large, humanoid robots.
• Are we ever going to do a second TF Women's Week?
It's not in the plans right now! Currently, only one mod runs this blog. I have a lot going on, and a variety of factors make event moderating unfeasible for me. If you'd like to run your own, feel free to reach out, i'd love to boost it!
• Who are the mods favourite TFs?
Termagax (IDW2), Pyra Magna, Shadow Striker, Nyx + Skold (BW21), Aileron, Airazor, Twitch + Hashtag (Earthspark), Anode, and Velocity! I'm primarily a comics reader, and a big shill for IDW2. The only continuity you're unlikely to find on here is prime/aligned, because I do not care for it.
•Are genderbends / humanformers allowed on this blog?
If the character is canonically male, I don't put art of them on this blog, even if the artist depicts them otherwise. If a character is male in some continuities and female in others, such as Swoop or Skywarp, art of them in the continuties where they are girls is allowed, of course!
• What about nonbinary characters?
I wouldn't feel comfortable grouping a nonbinary character, like Nightshade, in with female characters. It would seem to me to be disrespectful! This is case-by-case though. If there were, for example, an edit of a character in front of the demigirl flag, it may be more appropriate!
•Is there fanfic on this blog?
I don't read fic, so it's unlikely that I'd find it on my own. If theres a fic you'd like us to reblog/boost, feel free to tag us!
•I need help writing an ID/getting started with IDs!!
Feel free to send an ask! We can of course share resources or offer advice on ID writing, and direct you to places you can learn more about them!
•Do you need/want more mods?
It could never hurt! Send us a message/ask if you're interested and I'll reach out to you!
