we don't credit rebecca sugar enough for making the episode with the first gay wedding in a kids show extremely plot relevant so it could not be skipped or cut.

#rebecca sugar has gone on record saying that they knew from the beginning they wanted ruby and sapphire and they put every inch of planning#in to make sure that the studio could not take them out. sugar has said they’d compromised on hundreds of things they’d wanted for steven#so that they had the bargaining power specifically to keep ruby and sapphire’s relationship#and a number of ‘filler’ episodes were created just to establish counter-arguments that might come up when they pitched the wedding episode#the one that comes to mind is the episode about steven and connie getting lost in rose’s room steven’s central conflict about liking their#fave book series’ romantic ending was later weaponised when producer’s were like ‘oh but steven’s a boy he won’t be too interested in them#getting married’ sugar was able to be like ‘no. in this episode it’s established he loves romance and specifically weddings. and in these#episodes it’s shown how much steven cares about ruby and sapphire and their relationship and happiness. you cannot convince me this is not#good and necessary plot development#and they wrapped it up in the season finale and the big climactic point of the diamonds finally coming to attack earth to make the#episode integral to the series no skipping it without confusion. and had ruby wear a wedding dress because international censors took#advantage of her design to give her a masculine va#and sugar made certain that everybody knew This was a queer love story that an entire town supported and admired and that any child watchin#it at home would know they are not alone and that that support is waiting for them out there somewhere#sugar sacrificed the wider story they wanted to tell for that and it was a horrible decision to be given but they made the right choice

woaaaah woaaaaaah thats weird whaaaaaat the 2 secret bosses that are directly compared to kris by the narrative both have trans coding? and the transmasc coded one represents a fall into failure, tradition, and misogyny while the transfem one represents finding oneself and learning to make peace with your body and mind? whaaaaat who saw that coming.....

spamton literally tries to steal transfem-coded kris' soul btw. this is about as subtle as animal farm

... transandrophobic reading of deltarune was NOT on my bingo card, gross

Also Kris is nonbinary dipshit, literally never connected to a binary gender once; if you want a transfem reading for a character, Ralsei is literally right there wearing a dress and being a princess.

... I could piss you off and point out transmasc Susie would also really track...

stating that transfems cant be nonbinary, are we?

In what possible way; we both know you don't think of nonbinary people. Why do you want to assign masculinity or femininity to an agender character?

I said that Kris is transfem-coded. You said that Kris is nonbinary to refute this. ∴ You believe that non-binarity is a refutation of transfemininity.

It is if the character is agender with no gender coded expression whatsoever. You just want to assign a binary.

Mancountry is a hidden location in TV World. This area is where Kris obtains the Egg in Chapter 3.

The Mannequin is an armor that first appears in Chapter 2 of Deltarune.

To be transfem specifically, you gotta actually express femininity as preferred to masculinity; a nonbinary person is not transfem just for being 'AMAB,' that's not how this works.

Girl, transfem and transmasc describe a person's relationship to their CASAB. Transition exists within our social context, a CAMAB enby and a CAFAB enby face different systemic barriers based on their coercive assignment regardless of their presentation.

A masc presenting CAMAB enby is still transfem and a femme presenting CAFAB enby is still transmasc. We're talking about structural relationships, not vibes.

That's how this works.

You have no right to speculate about a nonbinary person's "starting point." Don't fucking do it.

breeonrye

We're not even. Fictional characters aren't people, they're narrative devices. They're meant to be analyzed and interpreted within the context of the work they're in and the context in which the work was made.

You not being normal about nonbinary characters and insisting on seeking out a binary element to their gender is weird and creepy, and real nonbinary people can see you do it. Just be normal ffs

rosey-thorns

hey im nonbinary and im transfem and i think this is important analysis of a story. you just dont want transfem people to exist

Hey I'm nonbinary and transfem and literally in a relationship with three transfem people. This is transmed bullshit, stop forcing nonbinary people into binaries. Get bent.

Swear to god if yall get more annoying I'm gonna start using annoying assholes to advertise my fics again.

Hey genuine questions

Do NB characters have to exist completely divorced from any gender binary or is there value in a story exploring a NB character's feelings for their assigned gender and how it has impacted them?

And if the later: does a text have to have the NB character outright state said feelings or is the text allowed to be more sub-textual on this?

A story is allowed to explore it, but this one does not; there is not subtext to back it, the character has made no relevant statements on the matter, and the creator of the game has not hinted anything about it. It's just wishful thinking on the part of some of the community's worst people.

k4ss10p314

Doesn't yay-bunnies provide examples of the subtext earlier in the thread? (And is it possible that two different people have two different interpretations of the same text passage with both interpretations being reasonable?)

Also the author hinting x y or z should not be the primary focus of literary analysis and so the absence of hints is negligible.

And who made a claim / theory / analysis also doesn't matter. Only whether the claim can support itself determines its validity. Also yay-bunnies isn't a bad person nor a bad part of the community.

yay-bunnies is a notoriously terrible person, and this isn't being done benignly.

k4ss10p314

And who made a claim / theory / analysis also doesn't matter. Only whether the claim can support itself determines its validity.

Do you agree that two people can have different interpretations of the same text that are both valid?

And do you agree that yay-bunnies provided examples for the transfem kris interpretation?

I do not agree in this circumstance. Kris, Frisk, and Chara are the most well known agender characters probably in existence; any other reading is invalid unless absolutely insurmountable evidence is given. In this case, there is zero valid evidence whatsoever; yay-bunnies did NOT provide valid examples.

#‘[transfem reading] is invalid unless absolutely insurmountable evidence is given’ is how transfem theories and hc are always treated btw #many ppl won’t be this upfront abt it but do believe it nevertheless

THE FUCKING MANNEQUIN DRESS THAT ONLY KRIS CAN WEAR oml
