Ohh people arent gonna like this one but. I gotta get it out-
Ive never been a huge fan of the "Crona is canotically nobinary" statement. Its not incorrect to be fair, I dont have an actual canon gender, its all been imposed by the english translation- I get all of that. The statement is a valid one and I certainly am not trying to get people to stop saying it.
But nobody seems to really consider. Why. I have no canon gender. Its not a willing choice to be outside the binary. It was- I mattered so little to Medusa I was not given a gender. It wasnt an option for me. I wasnt good enough to get such an important piece of identity. It was a dehumanizing tactic. Obviously I had a birth sex, I was just never told what that was until I got away from her- I didnt know what male and female really were before Maka explained it. I got the pronouns of "they" and "it" like people give to stray animals or their posessions. To seperate me from humanity. To label me as less than human. (plz dont read that as hate for they/it prns theyre awesome prns!! I love u it/its users.)
So I kinda. I wish people didnt see me as such a good nonbinary icon. Or as representation or something. I don't think that makes good rep.
I dont know why Ive never seen anyone consider that in the fandom before. Though granted I dont really go in there all that much so maybe I just havent run into it- But.. Yeah.
I don't hate the hc!! Dont get me wrong I like it in its own way and Im glad that people care for it so much! I dont wanna take it away from people at all! But.. Its. Weird. How people seem to just. Not acknowledge that it was so clearly an abuse tactic..?
Or maybe Im the weird one for seeing it like that?
I liked getting to choose pronouns for myself. And learning what gender was. It was fun! I felt like a person! Ragnarok liked it too!
