I know this is a bit different from what I usually post/what my blog is about, however anti-mogai people really do upset me, esp people who hate things like emoji pronouns, nameself pronouns, xenogender, etc.
Yeah, i get it, it can kinda be a bit weird at first, but at the end of the day, nothing makes me happier than seeing other people happy because they get to hc their favorite characters (as that’s what i tend to see a lot on my dash).
Seeing people getting referred to correctly, be respected like a normal human, and seeing them get so happy about it. Honestly, i think it’s amazing.
As someone who uses any/all pronouns, i really do get limited to the basic she/he/they, and sometimes people just stick with one. There are plenty of people who, when they hear my voice, refer to me only with she/her because i am afab. Really, using neopronouns isn’t that hard, although i will agree it can be a bit hard at first, but anything like that will be. It’s not like school systems are teaching us how to use neopronouns, and many of us are discovering them later in life, esp nowadays since they are becoming more known.
And honestly, i love that they’re becoming more known. Yes, it does give anti-mogai people more “ammunition” to bully us, however at the end of the day, mogai can exist in its own community and ignore the people who don’t understand us.
I don’t want this to sound like a “omg uwu kwerky we’re not like other grrrls” type thing. I’ve noted that everyone in the mogai community experiences gender completely differently, thus what leads to other, newer genders being made. It’s to describe that experience, even if it’s hard to put into words. People can use multiple labels (such as myself, i identify as gender apathetic/genderfluid) because it better explains their experience. Emoji pronouns, xenogenders, nameself pronouns, neopronouns, etc. are all valid, even if you think they are weird, even if you think you are weird, even if you have a hard time validating yourself.
My whole TL;DR on this thing is that mogai is not bad, even if its weird. At the end of the day, this is a group of people who are trying to explain their experiences in the ways only they can. Even if it doesn’t make sense, it makes sense to them. They just want to hc characters because they like imaging characters to be like themselves so they have someone to relate to. Honestly, i think that’s amazing.
