Originally this was going to be a reblog, but I'll make it my own post because I feel like the people at @/meanandfluffy just want to have fun and do something inoffensive and in my defense of them I may bring even more negative attention, which they probably don't want/need (aka, I know I'm throwing hands here). But I have to bring attention to this stock compilation of shibboleths because it so perfectly mirrors both the shit I've been sent and the attitudes I criticise so let's go.
It's incredible how any scrutiny of the gender stereotyping in transgendered headcanons is immediately accused of being "TERFy", despite nothing anywhere near adjacent to radical feminism even being tangentially present in the post. A single post saying that a feminine man =/= a tfem immediately warrants a nuclear fucking meltdown. Isn't it funny how this is said by the same crowd who constantly tries to argue that clothes don't have gender and anything can be anything? Except a feminine boy being just a boy, fuck that, TERF. Ridiculous.
Immediately the cultspeak kicks in asking you to maybe unpack and educate yourself, when the actual intent is not to unpack or learn anything- if you were to question, you'd actually take into account the arguments here about gender stereotyping and autonomy which are all absolutely correct, what this functionally means is shut up, listen to me, and polish the knob of my dumbass fucking headcanon that has zero endorsement from the narrative because I matter more than you.
Then we begin seeing all the expected buzzwords, homophobia for saying adherence to gender roles doesn't determine sexual orientation (bisexual erasure btw), transphobia because you don't want to bend over and suck my dick with my stupid sexist hc, "general confusion" because surely since you disagree with me this must mean you're ignorant and have yet to See The Light, "seek therapy!" nonsense, because of course only a mentally ill unsound person could ever tear down the idea that cooking and dresses = girl, "famously queer cast" to give yourself authority and the appeal to emotion that the fictional characters somehow have the same agency as real people. Like, we have literally seen all of this before hundreds of times across several blogs. OVER A SINGLE POST by the way.
And of course we bring in nazism for extra spice, despite this having nothing to do with national socialism, racial purity, or systematic genocide of non-aryan people.
This is then followed by bland "straight bad" because how dare you make a silly ass blog for a hetero ship. The usual REPRESENTATION GOOD! nonsense, we don't hurt anyone nonsense- while sending an inflammatory, accusatory ask, which sure fucking reads as setting out to hurt a rando on the internet. Putting "gnc rep" in several sarcastic quotations, leaving it extremely clear that gnc people do not matter, that we are secondary to the holy transgender class, that our struggles are irrelevant in comparison and that we better stay silent. And of course, anon is a suselloid using the ferris wheel ride as unquestionable evidence of their superior observational skills and intelligence, the cherry on the cake, something apolitical but that shows the intersection between fandom and wokie pseudoreligious bullshit; Of course someone who will call a random blog a nazi transphobe over a joke that, by the way, LINES UP WITH THE THEMATIC THRULINE OF THE GAME is obsessed with the bland, predictable "im girl i like girl" nonsense and sees it as enough justification to attack another person and call them bigoted and illiterate.
And finally of course "im non biney!" as if that automatically makes you correct and immune to criticism, something indistinguishable from "jesus told me"
0 for effort. Literal NPC.
