We talk a lot about how like, fandom in general has extremely piss poor reading comprehension, but I'm not gonna lie, the case I've seen in Amazing Digital Circus is frankly fascinating.

Like, I'm not the biggest fan of TADC, I thought it was fine, but it wasn't what I would call subtle about its themes. TADC exists very firmly in the Millennial Adult Animated series subtype, which means it looks like a kids show, while being about adult emotions, and also states its ideas extremely clearly. There's a bunch of these (BoJack Horseman and Rick & Morty are the big ones in my estimations). They are extremely direct and very blunt, which is in my mind just a neutral statement. Directness is neither positive nor negative

So here comes this show, which spends a huge chunk of its runtime explaining how basically all of the characters are damaged and need to accept themselves to heal, and then spends a MASSIVE chunk of its double length final episode detailing how its biggest piece of shit character became the way she is via a mix of self loathing and fear of her own identity, culminating with her begging the main character not to love her, literally indicating that she believes her own actions have made her irredeemable, AND THEN the whole show emotionally climaxes with said main character embracing her, choosing to love her anyway...

And a bunch of y'all seem to be champing at the bit to find new ways to punish her. Honestly y'all fascinate me.

I think readin comprehension has a lot to do with it, I'm not gonna discount that, but I do believe the lion's share of this attitude towards Jax lies in transmisogyny.

Before this final episode, lookin around the fandom, Jax was considered the Tumblr sexyman of the month. A smol bean who despite bein objectively awful & abusive could "do no wrong" for some reason.

Most people who identify with fandom culture have intensely unexamined transmisogynistic ideals. Hell, most people do, regardless of fandom affiliation. It doesn't shock me that when a character, who used to be shielded by fandom's protective love of abusive men, betrayed that categorization by being trans, it caused the general tone to shift towards one of accountability. An insatiable. An over-sufficing accountability often leveraged against trans feminine people.

I can't remember who it was who said this on here so forgive me, but one girl said

"You can tell a trans woman is well written because people still want to beat the corpse."

update: transmasc voices project has rebranded to "transgender voices project." it is the same blog, still only allowing stories of transfem abusers, and my criticisms remain the same

I'm gonna stop watching the transmascvoicesproject situation because it's not been good for my mental health (yay being doxxed!), and I already needed a break well before it even started

I'm not content to just vanish and leave it standing and causing harm wearing the name of something I created, though, so I've tagged all my posts (and some from other transfeminists) breaking down its issues as #TMVP. a read through this tag should prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is not a serious project created with survivors in mind, it is just a hate campaign

...you know, if the fact that it explicitly only accepts submissions if they are about transfem abusers wasn't enough to convince you

I will be back, and so will transfem voices project. but for now. goddddd I need a break

and I need to truly actually commit to taking said break this time...!

byyyyye!

[liarsblade]

Yeah you're right. It WOULD be pretty fucked up if you were a swan but you were raised by ducks and you grew up never seeing another swan or even knowing that such a thing as a swan even existed so you just thought you were a duck with something super wrong with it.
