Yuuuup, 100%. It’s really dumb, considering that said feminine guys are often gay or bi so all these people are doing it causing more in-fighting rifts for no reason other than to gloat and feel superior. I mean I knew Bridget as a star/meme for that for over a decade and I know for a fact that most people on ‘the side’ of the trans thing never gave them a second thought until last month.
It is sad that nuanced discussion got stomped over entirely by extremists before it even had a chance to take any ground. By the time I looked into it, it was already down into the toilet.
I’d be upset too if a company took a character I really liked and related to how I am and changed them in a way that contradicts their entire backstory and that I was told to ‘suck it up’ or risk being labeled a bigot. I know it’s all fiction in the end, and I think fiction should be allowed to be anything, but man, why did this have to turn into “we’re gonna turn all femboys trans now” as all it does is remove one ‘rep’ for another. I want both to coexist and not cannibalize each other.
It’s just sad, man, any way you look at it.
