@mintymelon753@Dust_ssbm there's probably also something to do with cultural norms nd stuff. like "serious" video gaming is more transfem associated, whereas a lot of transmascs appear to be more art-inclined (often writing in my experience)
@mintymelon753@Dust_ssbm generally trans men are just seen less in general. i genuinely believe it just comes down to population diff at least for the most part. there's just less trans men overall (although i think more nonbinary people in turn).
@Chidorimylove@Signalice39@ornythos the most obvious examples of which being WhiteNight (that's just carmen) and Apocalypse Bird (that's just the Head)
@Chidorimylove@Signalice39@ornythos this is Kind of Mostly True but not exactly true. since Abnormalities emerge from the Well of Humanity, which is the sum of all of human thought and whatnot, there can be (and are) Abnormalities for specific groups and people
@Kromer143@jefftheboxboy@alriuune ok thats a much more nuanced position than i was initially led to believe. and than the OP's. which i don't actually have an issue with its just denying the comparison outright felt strange. flattening the character to it is whatever though yeah
@Kromer143@jefftheboxboy@alriuune and liking kromer doesn't make you a nazi or anything obv. you can have a #problematic fave or whatever. so i just don't really get the "graa would everyone stop calling her a nazi" thing when it's like. she is inspired by nazis. at least in part. it's just silly
@Kromer143@jefftheboxboy@alriuune like ultimately it's the wing of deluded bigotry, which takes heavy inspiration from deluded bigots of all kinds. i don't think you have to play on the defensive when they're referred to as nazis, because it's less wrong than it is right
@Kromer143@jefftheboxboy@alriuune which is a deliberate parallel to german experimentation on jews, through the game's familial motif lens and in a more 'City' way.
@Kromer143@jefftheboxboy@alriuune because of their relation to Gregor, and his title of "UNGEZIEFER," which was a term used by nazi germans to refer to jews. gregor himself being, of course, a jewish character also associated with the german language. ignoring this kind of blatantly weakens gregor's story
@Kromer143@jefftheboxboy@alriuune i mean likely not but it's kind of baffling to know that and say she's. not a nazi? like. what's the thought process here i'm genuinely curious
@QuietHeart8344@Invincible_Nuke@The_Cramiena like yeah young kris and aqua share a lot of similarities. i don't think it's a stretch to say that's deliberate. but like. nothing says its impossible for it to just be a parallel with YOUNG kris. people change. i don't think 'soul traits' are as defined as people think
@QuietHeart8344@Invincible_Nuke@The_Cramiena i feel like the obvious middleground people overlook is just that maybe people don't actually have an inherent 'trait' assigned to their soul from birth (lol) and instead it can just like... change. like asgore going from yellow (justice) to red (determination) in that one scene
@Raine1272@fuckcriscuit@hiilinen_lassi@AlephFaust stuff like shin and mang in the city is earned through emotion. sora has all that because she has a very, very particular blend of emotions that lends itself to her getting them. it's less a matter of her being "boosted" as much as just... her being a very specific type of person
