>what is transwashing
Transwashing is when a character is forcefully made into trans, even if they're just gnc, homosexual, or crossdressing. When a character dresses or behaves in a way outside of the gender stereotype associated with their biological sex, oftentimes fandoms (and, even the creators themselves to appear "woke") start percieving them as trans. And, sometimes, even if those characters don't have "any sign of being trans", some people's headcannons becomes too out of control and fall into the gender ideology. This unfortunately happens to real people too.
Post those characters, discuss why they're transwashed, and vent if you want to.

>>1159So you see anon, gender is fake. Anyone can be anything they want.
But also it's very real. So anyone outside of 1945 gender norm, is actually trans. This means women who have short hair are actually transmasc (not not transmen, because men are evil and masculinity is offensive)
Men with longhair are also trans. If they are slightly feminine they are 100% trans. Crossdressers, regardless of the reason (cosplay, fun, party, disguise) are trans or non binary.

>>1141Reminds me of a certain robot husbando I have (not gonna say who in case They somehow come across this board)
He's a male character who:
-Likes bunnies
-Has a high pitched voice
-Is short
- Is the most sensitive out of his gang
And yet…whenever I look up fanart of the media he's from, my husbando is suspiciously often depicted as a Brave and Stunning Trans Gal

It's insane how both crowds have managed to completely ruin fan content and discussion of characters like Link or Cloud, to the point where most people now have a totally distorted perception of these male characters despite the fact that up until just a few years ago they were seen as just traditional hunks. Yet somehow the people who are seen as mentally ill are the ones who consume conventional yaoi porn.

Everyone in the main Lupin cast gets the trans treatment. Leaving Fujiko out because the thread's only for Male characters, but she gets it too.
Lupin: Becomes a Genderfluid Pansexual who's only shown to have interest in men because TiFs don't want to think of how shit the series is to its Female cast, so they're never at the forefront of any art or fanfiction made by Fujos. He's Genderfluid because he occasionally disguises and is Gender non-conforming, although he objectifies women nonetheless like NB Men in real life. He also gets the Trans Man treatment though it's often just a one-off comment for whatever reason if that's the case, even in porn.
Jigen: GAY Trans Man, emphasis on Gay. TiFs will swear up and down Jigen is canonically gay because he calls himself an onnagirai in Part II, and every time he's shown to have romantic "adventures?" is an act of Homophobia even if its a main part in several of Lupin III's media. He gets the treatment way more than the others. TiFs also exaggerate how he's often a bit shorter than the other guys and his emo bangs. He has two main hairstyles but TiFs flock to that one because the other hairstyle implies he's balding.
Goemon: Often just depicted with top surgery scars or with a binded chest. Never with a binder, always with bandages. Goemon x Jigen is his biggest ship and all, but it's rare to see him depicted as trans without being shipped with Jigen, who's also a trans man, and they just so happen to both pass perfectly except for their exaggerated mastectomy scars. He comes from a Traditional background so it'd break his character gag if he was a GNC woman, unfortunately.
Zenigata: Transed the least in the cast but there are some fanart and fanfiction of it. He may be avoided the attention from TiFs because he's a cop despite working for Interpol. Some TiFs say his long eyelashes is "evidence" despite men having long eyelashes usually.
Apologies for no pics but you can't trip in the shipping side of the fandom without seeing everyone trans. It's extremely prevalent.

>>1159>>1169Sorry for the blogposting, but it really annoys me when Ayydens or coomer trapfag furries try to claim my husbando as one of them just because he's short, empathetic and his character arc concerns his struggle to reach an ideal of traditional masculinity in order to impress his (trophy) canon love interest while simultaneously staying true to himself. Fakebois tend to just claim Parappa is "trans masc bisexual polyam" for woke points and because of the one stage where he LARPed as a couple with his best friend in the second game (who even fell into the floor at one point after realizing that Parappa was going too far with it). Nevermind that not only is Parappa canonically confirmed to only have interest in Sunny, but also have enough jealously towards romantic rivals that it's what drove forward the plot of the games to some degree.
Meanwhile on the cooomer side there's this one ""interpretation"" of him called Parappa the Trappa (not kidding) that is exactly what it says on the tin and you'd guess it is, "it's not gay i swear!!1!!!1!" jokes included, and it honestly disgusts me just as much as the TiF art. Probably even more since at least I have yet to see titscar art of him despite there being absolutely no shortage of gratuitous flag pins and even a couple of binder drawings out there, while art of this "character" is often very explicit. [spoiler]There's even a crossover version of this character with Gothfield of all fucking characters called "Gothrappa" out there, created by the same guys, and also authentic proof that nothing is original anymore, especially in the R34 world.[/spoiler]

There also was this incident where an email dropped claiming Lammy was trans earlier this year, and within hours of it being first posted to Twitter by a tranny it was revealed to be fake after another fan tried to contact Rodney about the identities of whoever was running that email, only for Rodney to respond that he didn't know who was controlling that email account nowadays. It's funny to see people still fall for it on Twitter, but too bad it's impossible for me to call them out on it there without being cancelled to the moon and back (not like Twitter is literally radioactive anyways).
>>1255>Golden rule is to block these "x of the day". 90% of the time they are some retardo spamming their head canonYeah, they really are. To be honest I don't even have an account there, but these accounts are really nothing but filler on the site, like most other things are.

Hi fellow-Parappa loving nonnie! Didn't know there would be so many of you here, and same, although to be honest based from my own experiences coomers probably just play the first game and Lammy, if at all and then go back to their NSFW furry servers to post porn, the only exceptions I can think of being two people I'd rather not talk about because I'd be powerleveling. but the tumblrina plague is real and I've had to deal with them in real time quite a few times to say the least.
>I'm honestly tired of the "PaRappa the Trappa" bullshit too. It clogs up all the good art of him. I don't want to see tranny versions of my husbandos.

Also Tomodachi Life… I've had that game on my 3DS ever since I first hacked my 3DS (and wanted it ever since it first came out!), and I'm pretty sure I also created Parappa in it, even if I've definitely never married him.
>I'm not sure if this is a thing, but have you noticed that tumblrinas love to swarm the fandoms of "quirky" media? Like unconventional semi-obscure stuff such as PaRappa, or Vib Ribbon.Indeed, and to say I've noticed it is an understatement. If anything I think every fandom that has at least a vocal minority of female fans has literal tumblrinas in it at this point, and it's fucking tiring to the point at least one friend outside of fandom circles has noticed it.
>And I'm glad normal people see PaRappa the Trappa in a cringeworthy light. That whole concept was ridiculous.Exactly, it probably helps that it's very out of character, too.

Bitch, he has a canon fucking dick. He quite literally can straight up fuck with an actual PENIS.

>Also, I am so happy that other people outside of fandom circles notice the tumblrina infestation. Just curious, what did these say about it?They aren't really that outside fandom circles, just more aligned with 4chan communities that discuss it more than anywhere else (one of them is technically no longer in the fandom he was in anymore though), but they do consider all this pushing of transing characters and politics to be really annoying and literally just projection by the people doing all of that's part.

As someone who tends to get into older and/or less well known stuff I've noticed this pattern even on myself.

I also just don't think most people who hold these headcanons interact with the franchise they're talking about in good faith. It's one thing if you're actually convinced Dipper is 100% trans and write your 1000 word twitter manifesto on the topic.

To me, since it's fiction and fiction has aesops within writing and character design, changing a character like this does come across as defying its own narrative statement, suddenly this character previously just existing becomes this random unspoken "if you're like this too, we were wrong, don't be anymore. :)" and the inconsistency of this storytelling irritates me to no end. It also comes across conveniently deaf to how certain fans appreciate Bridget as a character.
The only thing that is consistent within these "transing characters" PR stunts is that they are all done for quick cash in favour of telling a good story. It's like the moment that happens I don't tend to have much hope for an increase in quality afterwards because they're relying on crossed fingers to begin with.
(Another thing related to this trend is that I know this is going to put normie irl trans people on the spot again as the most annoying people on earth because some extremely online loud minority fans are yelling on their behalf lol rip.)

Again upsetting as hell, maybe it's just my nostalgia for the character, but it feels like such a soulless and frankly sexist interpretation.
If I may put on my tinfoil hat for a second maybe Arc System is aware of his legacy as a originator of the online trap-culture and wants to distance themselves from a term people call a slur? That would require caring about the English speaking world though so it's probably stretch.
It might just be an unfortunate direction for the character as he is a lot more clearly a boy in a dress in earlier entires but slowly grows more feminine over time.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's localization wanting to cash in on the trans trend and asking them if it's okay, and Japan having a different idea of gender and its own history with pederasty and okama culture just said "sure" not fully realizing the agenda.

I think regardless of trans intent or not it comes off as kind of nasty. I think my personal issue with it(being a mild arcsys lorefag) is that if you completely disregard what's in his pants the narrative turns into
>i was forcibly raised as a girl under pain of death >i want to be manlier, and not die, so i will leave my home and prove that me being a man isn't worthy of death >i succeeded in making my village not want to kill me for being a man>Guess I should give up on being a man and be a woman which is absolutely not the 'good trans rep' everyone seems to be screaming it is, it's nightmarish. I think critical thinking has completely left people- they just want the shallow label and spectacle.
I personally read the 'good' arcade ending as being more about Bridget identifying as 'himself' rather than as a woman, so i think the intent was that he accepts being on the cusp between masculine and feminine rather than being conflicted about manly ideals- thus the androgyny symbol (not trans) on the hoodie.
of course a take like this would get me lynched on social media though. i don't know why the western world is so hung up on presentation to the point an otokonoko is inconceivable to them.
No.1905
>>1904I personally find it fucking stupid because Bridget being a woman makes it feel like… the villagers weren't actually wrong? If Bridgette is a transwoman, then the ultimate reason Bridgette got to live is because she was never a man, and therefore the twins weren't two boys.
No.1906
>>1904From how I interpreted it as well was that the bad ending is Bridget accepting his fate and living a lie as a girl while the good ending is him being true to himself and continuing as a boy. It utterly escapes me how blind these "Bridget is a brave trans woman" retards are to their own bigoted views and lack of media literacy.
>i don't know why the western world is so hung up on presentation to the point an otokonoko is inconceivable to them.I guess a lot of them don't know about Japan and its history with crossdressing (often underage) male concubines feudal lords held because women were only meant to be broodmares and not sexual partners. So they just see otoko no ko characters and their mind goes immediately to muh trans representation.
No.1907
Not really trans-washing, but maybe even worse.
I'm… so sad that people from the fanbase of Ouran Highschool Host Club think that Haruhi (the main protagonist of the anime, also in image related) is genderfluid. She knows very well that she is a girl and the only reason she wears a boy's uniform is because they gave her one to join the club, also she joins it not because she wanted to flirt with other girls, but because she has to pay for the vase she broke. The reason that she lets others call her "he" is because she has to hide from the fact that she is female from the customers of the club. Hate the fact that they think she's genderfluid just because she switches between "boyish" and "girly" clothes in different episodes - as if clothes are the thing that determine what gender you are.
I'm also quite sad that this braindead article claims her father is a drag queen, while he is simply an okama (a crossdresser that serves other men under a fake female name), nowhere in the anime or manga is written that he performs drag queen shows for money.
I love this show, but the fanbase is killing me.

I have a friend who is very into making characters trans.
Mostly for porn reasons but I just am really really not fond of PiV shit in my fucking gay porn.
I don't have the heart to tell her so I half-heartedly try to avoid the subject but I don't fucking know why it became so strangely common lately to find fanart that just be default interprets the character as trans or with trans characteristics not even tagged. You're looking at an innocent fanart of the character being shirtless, and of fucking course you see the barely disguised chest surgery scars.
Or people just make jokes (kinda like she does) like "(his) uterus" "(his) clit" just as the default, like you are meant to know the character is trans. That as long as you talk to the person, the character will be trans in their mind and you won't move them from that.
Idk, for one, I'm not attracted to women so I don't like woman characteristics like a vagina.
And second, I like BL partly because it lets me take control over MEN. These things that I fear, I make vulnerable and make them get hurt. If they were secretly women it just loses the whole point for me.
Maybe some people make characters trans to cope with that fear "there's no way this guy is a man, it has to secretly be a woman" but god damn it can't you at least tag your shit as trans

>>3904 spoke of.
I've also seen this happen with two female alligators on reddit, and a tweet of two trees holding each other up on twitter with the same caption of "this too, is yuri". I go download a zine from someone's blog. I see the same tree tweet. But this time it's captioned with "NO! THIS IS YAOI. If yuri is absence, then yaoi is presence." I actually mass logged out of everything after that and made some lunch. But yeah no one is drawing actual yuri and are just doing the bare minimum shitposting.

So the 'yuri is absence' is just some stupid crap related to that. I hate the obsession with lesbianism as some identity for woke cred, it's fucking tiresome and nonsensical.
>Real lesbian artistsA lot of lesbians are fujos, actually, they're just quiet about it. I sideye any artist online that is loud about being a lesbian or uses terms like 'wlw'.

I was talking about the Y/con actually, still in Paris.

Official translation of pic rel, they post their tweets in English and French:

I feel like the "queer art" label over BL/GL/monsterfucker/mtf/ftm/futa/cuntboy/whatever is kind of a red flag these days. The art can still be good but to me the phrase itself has transformed from an umbrella term to this kinda performative but also scummy "if you are QUEER or a QUEER ALLY you must only think nice things about this QUEER ART, also here is my store" vibe that I don't like. I noticed it on book Twitter first (because it's full of shills and terrible, never look at book Twitter) but art Twitter is not immune to it.

Slightly off topic but the talk of stepping on egg-shells in fandom spaces made me realize that fujosisters should have some sort of discord server or something so we could all talk to one another without being bothered by Aydens. It would be perfect. I'd only be afraid of moids sneaking into the server but in most cases you can easily tell who is and who isn't a moid. Gendies are very obvious too (they can never shut up about their sexuality), so it should be easy to filter them.

I also don't like account shit.
The literal only good thing about discord is that you don't need to upload every damn pic you want to show anymore, you just screenshot or use the snipping tool and paste it and every image is instantly displayed in the chat. Everything else is a downgrade, especially the userbase.

All the IRC channels I was part of went up in flames, just drama up to their ears. Mods had to make everyone register names to stop impersonators, people'd learn timezones to talk shit when certain people weren't there to see them, joke kicks turned into grudge kicks. I think chatgroups will always be prone to the same pitfalls if you have enough bitches.
I imagine the accessibility compared to Discord filters younger users now, but with the lack of immediate image and video sharing IRC really relies on people having things to say and being able to hold live conversations. Would you post more on it than you do here? People always get excited at the prospect of new conversation, we all want to have that, but the reality more often than not is that even the slightest awkwardness culls topics of conversation until nobody feels motivated to speak. Broad topics make it harder to connect with the right people too, because not everyone has seen or is interested in the same BL you just read. A single channel means you can't talk in the corner while other people discuss something else. IRC did well when we had less variety available to us, both in anime/manga and in platforms to communicate through. You'd talk to a wall if you had to because it was all you had.
No.4204
>>4192Agree. And even now finding good fandom groups is hard as fuck. I am in a few good discords with calm, reasonable people (all adults too and mixed genders) but they are all linked to a certain forum or anime blog, so you cannot post a text wall lore analysis of this manga only you've read and are a fan of.
Fandom discords are the only way, but dear god are most of them shit. I am only joining nsfw ones to filter the damn kids, but even then they are bad.
I am honestly wondering if maybe fandom is just not for me. I thought it was since I love analysing it non-stop, I draw art, ship and I read fics. But I cannot warm up or even properly communicate with most fans. Too childish, too loud, barely able to post or even read proper sentences, they talk in memes and rather react with emojis or SCREAMS than talk and they are unstable and quick to offend or shock even if you don't even want it.
Besides that there is the unwritten rule that most don't want you to post anything negative about the series. But nothing is perfect so I want to discuss the things or characters I didn't like and explain why. This isn't meant to be personal, most fans dislike or even hate my favs and I have no issue with that.
Another problem I have is that most fandoms barely talk about anything canon. It's like they're fans of a whole different series. All they care about are fandom AUs and headcanons that are only vaguely based on canon or it's outright OOC or crack shipping that is just entirely made up by fans but most are fans of THAT and not the actual canon which is the shit I want to talk about.
Add to all of this the blatant inability to form own opinions and rely onto youtube "thinkpieces" that they just parrot endlessly. Plus point if they haven't read the source material they are "fan" of because reading is very heard it seems.
No.4207

But Discord is also uniquely terrible for community chatter, it is a in the moment back-and-forth. Only two or three people can be conversing at any given time before things become hard to follow and if you're away at work it's hard to get caught back up because it doesn't have the backlog ease of reading that a forum or imageboard has.
I've joined a few fandom servers but I haven't found any meaningful interactions or enjoyment. Most are dead or filled with illiterate high schoolers. The desire to talk is there, this site serves the purpose well as do others, Discord is just bad at facilitating actual conversations.
No.4209
I don't like Discord but I guess this is the new norm for online interaction, everyone who isn't adapting to it's idiosyncrasies is being left behind, myself included. I really tried but after all these years I still don't know how to navigate Discord, all I know is I keep getting older and feeling more out of place each passing day. Every server is full of underages or very young adults, they talk casually about whatever, engaging in a discussion about a specific topic you like seems impossible. It feels like being a random passerby who steps into a group of friends. Also the moment any server enables a voice chat channel, it's fully over. Maybe it is time to give up.

You are just making excuses. A chat wouldn't last because a lot of "anons" here would put their (digital) face into their opinions and be confronted of their opinons more directtly. Posting how all men should die on an imagine board is not the same as posting it on a chat where the next person could be married to one or just not be a schizo.
No.4211
>>4209100% this.
> It feels like being a random passerby who steps into a group of friends.Best explanation I ever heard so far. Yes that's it. It even happens if they are over 25. They only chit chatter, sometimes it might even be on topic but it's always casual talk about headcanons you cannot contribute anything to, especially if you don't resonate with the headcanons which is almost always the case for me. You cannot discuss a concrete topic as you already said. It's literally the stranger trying to engage with a group of friends that are already busy talking among themselves about personal stuff only they like.
And yes, the fucking voice channels. Tend to leave when it happens because it's all they do and I refuse to talk online.
Besides that I always feel like walking on eggshell no matter the discord. There are so many people there that are so unstable and quick to suspect you of all kind of shit or really into bad faith reading. Doesn't help that at least half of them claim to have panic attacks so you have to fear to trigger one if you ever say anything they don't agree with.

There is zero difference between chatrooms and Discord I agree, which is why I was using them interchangeably there.
If you hate imageboards so much I don't know why you're here. I've never liked chatrooms, that why I use sites like this and forums.
Yes we are small enough that a fujochan discord server would work, but I don't see why we should when we are already on a site dedicated to communication. Plus again there is issues of anonymity and as mentioned above.

No.4768
>>4757Yeah, I haven't heard that term used since 2013 tumblr. Seems like it fell out of use along with 'truscum'. There used to be a divide between people who thought being trans meant having actual gender dysphoria and people who thought you're just trans if you say you are, and now the latter type of person is the norm and you can't question it. I don't know how it happened but that was when I stopped understanding what being trans/nb even meant and started taking anyone's claim of being trans on the internet with a huge grain of salt. Terms like 'nonbinary woman' especially mean absolutely fuck-all. What's the difference between a woman and a 'nonbinary woman' who is still being called she? As far as I can tell, nothing.

"Nonbinary woman" is an attempt to express it that must be tempting when female terms and appearances are often used to belittle and demean people and remind us of bad times and horrible expectations, but it shouldn't be needed. I guess what I mean is I get it and I'm sympathetic but man, we've gone backwards a few steps if people need to declare which side (or not) of a binary they're on all the time.

something about being a vanilla woman doesn't sit right with them so they reached for "not a WOMAN woman".

Yet the TIF Au ra OCs I've seen are always built like the males in every single way except they have the huge tit removal scars and a vagina. I know this is because they just use mods on their male player model but in-universe it implies that somehow the character could change their body enough to grow twice their size but not enough to just get rid of the other female qualities in a world where body-altering magic is canon.
No.5137
>>5134It's also funny when it goes the other way in low technology/historical settings, where you'll have trans 'headcanons' of super buff tall guys and tit surgery, when realistically if you want to make this character trans then they wouldn't have access to HRT, so would still have a female body type, and would be binding their chest (not to mention they wouldn't be sounding like the cis man who voice acted them). They rarely want to engage with the impact it would have on their upbringing due to gender roles either. It makes the 'any character can be trans!! my headcanon is totally valid!!' insisting extra empty.
At the end of the day it just comes down to projection fantasy and/or feminization fetish and it wouldn't even be as annoying if more people admitted it. This is why 'headcanon' is the worst possible term to use.

Getting into Sebaciel has been a mixed bag cause while the western twitter fandom has been a great source of Yana Toboso's official art and stuff like old drama CDs I've also noticed that half of them are Fakebois who are obsessed with Mpreg and giving Ciel a vagina. There's gotta be a thing going on like in the third pic of OP's post where these women see a sexually abused teen boy and project onto him.

>>5202I honestly don't get how these people just don't see Ciel as a little girl with short hair if they're doing that. It'd be one thing if it was magical assbabies mpreg but mpreg plus cuntboy is literally just reinventing women.

>>5202Back when I was a teen right before the first anime we also had mpreg, but Ciel still had a penis that touched his bump and we were all pretty sure that wasn't a baby in there.
>>5207Yeah it's missing a great deal of the point. If it were a demon or shinigami you'd still have some wiggle room for excuses, but this is just rewriting it into not-so-identical twins and making yet another female victim. I'm not reading BL and hoyay for more girl rape victims.

Do you guys ever wonder why trans people insist on referring to themselves as trans? I was thinking about some ex friends. Now, when I was a wee lass, I never told anyone I was a girl. And this is the Internet. You can be anything you want to be. If somebody told you they were male or female, you'd never know.
Trans weebs, they always have to let you know. When they could easily just pretend they are anything so long as it isn't obviously made up xir shit. It's just so baffling. Like I have a new fandom friend and I have no idea what they are, it could go either way and I never bothered to ask. I just assume they're female because we talk about yaoi. Idk. Shower thoughts.

>>6158It's because the idea of being trans is more interesting than being the gender they wanna become. Aidens for example say they're men but usually draw pregnancy art or impregnation, it's complicated but they wanna seem like a third gender that looks masculine but has feminine biology. Biological men don't represent them because they don't wanna be that, they just wanna be their idea of what a man is and for that the trans label fits like a glove.
Also it can be because trans is a fetish for a lot of modern day trannies, zippertits at this point are a fetish.
I hope what I said made sense lol, it's late and I need to sleep.

>>6158For the first part, I used to be the same too that I'd never tell anyone what I was (but that was because back then you'd get a lot more flack over being a girl on the internet) and I'd roll with whatever people said.
I feel like this whole trans thing is done just as a way of decoration to feel unique, specially more so the people who give themselves unrealistic pronouns like it/doll/bun or whatever. Not only is it not a real fucking pronoun, they'll force you to call them fucking bun. And not only will they force you, they'll try to drag that on to reality as well.
Also, I genuinely feel like some people took the self-insertion too far and really convinced themselves they like yaoi because they wanted to be a man deep down and eventually stop talking about yaoi and start talking about their T-shots and being horny.

>>6161>I feel like this whole trans thing is done just as a way of decoration to feel unique, specially more so the people who give themselves unrealistic pronouns like it/doll/bun or whatever.I agree. It's the same with those DiD/system people who demand specialised discord bots for their larp and make cringy social media posts like "Omg one of my alters put coffee powder in the bath water!" In the past these people would just be goth/scene/emo.
No.6169
>>6158Even when they don't, you can always tell because the vast majority of cis men don't put 'he/him' in their bios. Unless it's one of those discords where they make you choose a pronouns role but it's usually optional in the ones I've been in.

>>6158This reminds me of how I am/was in fandoms where almost everybody else called themselves trans and each of them knew they were women and just played the he/them game, but then it turned out that I was the one user and artist most assumed to be a dude. I never corrected them, by the way. Not because I identified as dude but because I have a "0 private info" policy on places that aren't anonymous. No age other than clarifying I am an adult and no gender etc. So guess they still assume I am a dude, probably because I am rather silent and serious, not sure.
I mention it because how odd it is and it matches to the phenomenon you describe. You would assume that if a woman considered herself a dude she would just.. well, call herself a dude. Not "trans". Dude. And maybe not constantly post photos of herself wearing pink skirts and showing tits. I never really understood that mindset.
>>6159 has a good point here. It's more like "trans" was a third gender to them, not the opposite one. That would also explain why they are having an issue with people saying there are only two genders. Something that a trans-person shouldn't be mad about. The very concept of transsexuality demands that there are only two genders. You need an opposite gender to be "trans", technically.
Anyway these complexities are part of the reason for why I never talk about gender stuff outside of FC/4chan. It's hard to me to understand what they are even about and to know how to avoid sandtraps. I just want to draw and post about my favorite 2D men in peace.

>>6240>I just want to draw and post about my favorite 2D men in peace.Amen. Unfortunately, personally I recently got a job where I am in direct contact with many trannies so I can never turn my brain off about it and just be like "whatever I guess."
I'd say leave them alone if they weren't such a blight on irl life and then my online life too.
