I low-key want to see the links/pics people are talking about too more in a reference sense than a who's right sense. I know a lot of people who interpret the whole functionalist thing as trans-coded, but I thought that was unconfirmed? Idk you're probably sick of this shit. Also this isn't hate in any way messaging just bc I'm curious. Feel free to not respond :P
i hate coding because it doesn’t explicitly state things which means it’s up to the reader to determine what it means but in a way, i guess that makes sense. Functionists being in that kind of role, denying people the body they want to be in. Forcing them to the role they were created into. But ‘trans’ in Transformers has always translates to alt mode for me. like how not wanting to be the alt mode you were sparked into. I made a post about that a while back with Blurr, how he’s put into a different form than his racing car mode, and not feeling comfortable in this new skin, and how it eats at him n shit.
the refs people linked were the arcee spotlight [which is the only actual confirmed instance of actual gender in transformers, and even then, it was designed, not naturally born], and node/anode or whatever they were. which is more a feels over facts because Arcee is the only actual female transformer. but i can get behind alt mode transitioning/switching. but that’s just my opinion backed by some facts. in that Jhiaxus is the only one whose made an actual female. Because Arcee’s cna is different. whatever.
shitpostingandgayrobots 質問:Genuine question: If cybertronians don’t have gender/gender isn’t relevant, why did two cybertronians willingly transition?
see it only makes sense if you believe robots have gender so i guess its a matter of believing in robogender. if i believed in robot gender, i could totally get down with robotransitioning. for now, i’m stuck with being satisfied with alt mode transitioning. maybe one day they’ll give a satisfactory explanation for robot gender and then i can jum pon board but until then i’m kinda just nahhhh
coachboomer 質問:Ya know I’m not going to attack you, mostly because I’m tired of the drama and all the other shit that’s hit the fan with a friend of mine dealing with various transphobes. If you’re getting pissy about what people are saying then you should probably go back and look at what you wrote, because I read that and the first thing I notice is you getting upset over several things that are either canon, or, that people often times agree on with each other within the fandom. No one forced you to fuss.
i wasn’t upset, i was having fun. its like people can’t enjoy debate and sometimes being wrong nowadays :V it’s fun learning new perspectives and how people react to one thing over the other. sure i say things people don’t like. but i mean, where are the facts?? it’s all been feelings till now. show me the carfax
i’m not here to agree with each other, i’m here to start shit with a shit opinion that’s not popular.
