Denialism is like an abyss: you can toss your incredulities, your arguments, even the fact Japan is a trans nation, but you‘ll still be left with an abyss.
I am hopeful OP left twitter for good, but a cesspit is still a cesspit.
Bridget from Guilty Gear also comes to mind
Lily from Zombie Land Saga, Mizuki from Project Sekai, Nox from Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night, and many others, I’m sure.
Watching japanese dudes keep writing cross dressing semi-gays as a punchline really feels more like an admission than a joke, in many cases being somewhat plot relevant in a really obtuse way to justify its exaggerated presentation.
I like Persona 4’s Kanji. They still make his ambigious sexuality the butt of jokes, but they give him an arc about tackling his sense of shame and leave it at a pretty open end. It’s a game from 2008, but the main thing is that he stops caring if someone’s a “dude or a chick” when it comes to attraction.
Yeah, it’s pretty aggravating, but I feel like they’ve been getting better on this in recent years as awareness spreads.
~Thinking about how Steins;Gate kept insisting that Rukako was a guy, even though she’s probably one of the most clear-cut trans women in anime.~
It’s like the trans version of acting like (fictional and/or historical) gay couples are just really close friends, who shared a house, bedroom, and bed, for their entire adult lives.
Or like a reverse egg. They’re in denial about someone else being trans lol
Not familiar with this character, but I believe this has already happened multiple times.
Kirara’s English VA has an amazing range. They also voice Yuta and Jinichi in the show. Here’s an example of all 3. Going from Kirara to Jinichi will break your neck.
Still annoyed about what they did to Chihiro.
