"[thing associated to trans women] but for transmascs :3" and other ways of making something immediately worse on multiple levels
asking for the blue version because you cannot possibly just relate to women once in your life
usually transmisogynistic
even when talking about something like art, and even if not done in an explicitly transmisogynistic manner, self-evidently derivative and i've yet to see somewhere where it didn't become instantly less interesting than the original concept
have you ever had a single original thought
"what about men :("
there is absolutely nothing barring you from engaging with transfem culture as a non-transmisogynized person btw. i read countless books and articles from trans women and transfeminized people, follow multiple comedians, go to events where non-transmisogynized ppl are allowed, etc etc etc. they're neat. and turns out when you don't go around whining about the poor forgotten men nobody has a problem with it
#a lot of this impulse is just because of bullying#like the idea that trans womens art/memes/culture are ‘cool’#and trans mens are lame and cringe#well i hate to say trans men do have culture lol you just find it embarassing#maybe look inward.
maybe there's something to it (tags by @bottom-growth) because there is a certain brand of tboy edgelord who's all about Punk But With Frogs or whatever who, anecdotally, i'd say is overrepresented here. thing is, mainstream culture also finds transfem-associated things "cringe" (just look at how people will talk about puppygirls to name one), they just take whatever they feel like from it all the same and get to be "cool" once they are the ones doing them. the girls just seem better at not giving a shit (generally speaking, of course)
ive heard so many arguments about what the "transmasc version of Celeste" is and boys you can just like Celeste. its a good fucking game. liking Madeline doesnt make you less of a man it just makes you a man who likes a transfem character.
