Oh um abt the masterlist Kil is actually from a manga not a show not sure if there is a better category for it or not but that might cause some confusion asdfgh not a big deal obvs but just pointing that out
Yo, I’ll change that to “books” then, if that would work out better for you? Edit: Done!
I'm a little worried this'll turn out like that pocrppositivity blog
Hey!
With everything going on in the RPC, that’s totally understandable.
Both mods for transrppositivity are trans and write various trans characters. I’m bisexual and trans masculine/nonbinary. And I’m very involved in online trans communities and LGBTQ+ communities irl. Mod Arky and I also run a transgender meme page on Facebook.
Transrppositivity has been something we’ve wanted to make for a while, I’ve wanted to do this for years even, I can assure you that the reason we made this blog was to spread positivity for our fellow trans muns and hopefully get more people to write more trans characters, since the RPC is lacking them.
I hope this cleared up any concerns!(Also: Mod Arky and I are both white. This is also in our FAQ, but just in case this also happens to be a concern I thought I’d throw it in here. We both try to be conscious of the fact, and encourage people to call us out if we do or say something fucked/offensive. And we hopefully want to have more trans mods who are POC in the future, if anyone’s interested!)
poc being unable to be in front of things like "poc mods" isn't people being finicky. when used that way it stops being person 1st language which has historically been used to dehumanize marginalized groups. aside from a grammar thing it's to maintain person 1st language & keep poc safe. some may see it as asinine but historically racism is facilitated by removing person first language which is very important even if it seems small. dismantling racism starts w microaggressions which this is.
(DIFFERENT ANON) that anon about people being “finicky” about it is extremely reductive of other peoples feelings (like mine as a person of color). person first language is essential and not understanding “poc” as being person first language is a part of using it incorrectly being a microaggression. little things like this are still important. it’s not being finicky. it’s paying attention and righting wrongs that have historically led to bigger racist issues regarding dehumanization.
archer:
hi!! i certainly agree that people correcting ryker and my language isn’t “finicky” as the previous anon put it. this is why i encouraged other people to message us if they knew how we could better answer/respond to things with regards to race, as we strive to do so in the most accurate and non-offensive way possible. it was an oversight on my part for even publishing that anon (i have deleted it now) and i am very sorry if it hurt you. thank you both for taking the time to send these messages, as i now know to be more vigilant for the sort of offensive language that the anon used. it is very important to me that this blog is seen as a safe space, so i really, really appreciate you telling me when we do/post something offensive so we have the chance to make it right. <3
(also: @silvaer sent us THIS post, so ryker and i will both be following its example)
ryker:
Hey, different mod here(I didn’t see the anon message, but heard about it from Archer), I really appreciate & agree with you- person 1st language is important and necessary, I’ll make sure that we stay on top of that while modding this blog. I know that opinions on language can butt heads a lot, but between what you’ve said and from what I’ve seen online we should (and will!) be maintaining person first language as it is the accepted + correct form. I’m sorry for the confusion between me and Archer. Seriously, thank you for this and thank you for calling this to attention so we can maintain it in the future.
(We’re both white as fuck so I really value+respect the people calling us out about it and the patience of the people doing so because I know how tiring this can be tbh)
hi! i'm a cis person trying to write a nb character (specifically agender), but she/they hasn't realized they aren't cis yet. i've done some research, but i still want to get multiple opinions to make sure i don't do anything accidentally offensive, so what are some things i should/shouldn't do in this situation?
Hi!
To be honest, I think it really varies from character to character? I think things to stay away from are assuming that agender people don’t really care about being misgendered and/or seen as masculine or feminine- I’ve seen this a lot irl and in fiction. Also: Stay away from the trope of “Revealing Your Character’s ‘Birth Sex’”. No. No no no. I cannot recommend staying away from this enough. (And it’s totally fine if your character uses she/they interchangeably, but if they’re only using ‘she’ before they realize they’re Not Cis, I’d probably recommend using they? Like I said, this is something that really varies from person to person.)
And finally, just avoid cissexism and binarism in general. I mean, you should in all of your writing, but in this specifically.
If you have any more questions feel free to ask!!
