opti-mized said: I understand what you mean since this is obviously a very sensitive topic but... did you watch wonder egg priority, or just that one episode? WEP is a show about how girls (and people who are read as girls) have a lot of societal shit to deal with, including rape, bullying, misogyny, etc, and are more likely to kill themselves as a result. every single episode features a horrific suicide if you didn't expect that, then I don't blame you at all for not feeling comfortable with it, and honestly it is shitty of people to tout it as a "trans rights!" show without a disclaimer that it can also get very dark. idk. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I get what you mean, but I feel like you're divorcing a single episode from the overall context of the show
i have not watched wonder egg priority, i just heard people on twitter saying its good lgbt+ rep. and saying that the episode where a trans man commits suicide was “trans rights”... even though a trans man dies, as if the suffering of transmasc people is something that is good
i have no issue with the show or series itself, since i know barely anything about it other than some of the language used regarding trans people (ie. i believe there was something in the manga that compared a closeted trans girl to being a terrorist in afghanistan, or something like that? i genuinely dont remember). my post isnt trying to drag wep through the dirt any more than people are already doing, its just what happened to prompt me to vent about it
