#THIS IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT !!!!!!#chihiro fujisaki #danganronpa #trigger happy havoc

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

Listen, fellow trans women, I love you all, but if you think that trans men or transmascs are an oppressor class you need to log the fuck off because you are being brainpoisoned by discourse-mongers. That is a legitimately rocks for brains take

doubleca5t

There is a HUUUUUGE gap between "transfems experience a unique intersection of oppressions which are not experienced by transmascs", which is true, "some passing trans men benefit from male privilege", which is true, "trans people are not immune to transphobic rhetoric and this can sometimes take the form of transmascs engaging in transmisogyny", which is true, and "transmascs should be treated as equivalent to cis men because trans men are men and therefore as men they are a danger to trans women" like do you see where the gigantic leap of logic comes in here?

doubleca5t

There is something personally offensive to me about accounts that go out of their way to post about transmascs being dangerous or untrustworthy or transmisogynistic when the primary danger to trans women right now is the goddamn United States government. Like we've got people in the white house who would outlaw all HRT if given the opportunity and you're gonna post about trans men?? I don't even mean this in a "we have bigger fish to fry" sort of way I mean this is the sense that building solidarity is one of the most important things you can do when faced with a hostile government and society. It's not just that the claims being made are bullshit and transphobic it's that the whole thing feels actively self-destructive toward creating any kind of community that's of any use to anyone

the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.

I literally CANNOT read the words "supine" or "prone" in anything without thinking about that post that's like "supine is when you lay on your s(u)pine and prone is when you lay on your pronis"

Chihiro Fujisaki is transfem but not because I saw a crossdressing character and went “they must be trans” but because I understand her story from the perspective of someone closeted and rationalizing why they crossdress bc they haven’t accepted themselves. Is this anything

strikerofchords

Funnily enough thats why I resonated so hard with Chihiro before I realized I was transmasc. I always read his story from the lens of someone who always felt too fragile, too soft, too weak to be considered an actual man. I very much relate to how Chihiro would lean into the feminine traits to compensate while also keeping himself separated from the girls in the group.

#i know it’s bad but this is why I’m really not huge on transfem Chihiro #I’m projecting hardddd #but this is also why I think so much about him wanting to change!!!#he’s me fr!#danganronpa #chihiro fujisaki

i loved 2nd chapter

Because much of Danganronpa’s cast is inherently kind of archetypal/cliche, I have found that a lot of them have parallel, equivalent characters in other media which are better written and more compelling, despite often having less screentime and/or relevance. I know comparison isn’t really a healthy way to consume media, but seeing those equivalents just makes me think “wow, if the writers had put just a little bit more pussy into this character, even just a tiny drop more, they could have been like 40% more likable.” Perhaps one day I’ll make a list of some ones I’ve found or whatever.

One notable (and funny) exception is Kaito Momota, who is exactly the same as Clay Terran from Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies with the key difference being you literally never talk to Clay. I think I ended up loving Kaito twice as much just by virtue of this comparison because he’s literally everything Clay is supposed to be.

#danganronpa #I don’t know what to tag this as bc this post is mostly bashing on #clay terran #dual destinies #but also I’m willing to argue this point lmao #kaito momota
