@TooManyCrowns —those that knew her for the /lightly/ dark subject matter (which at a glance, ep1 fits the darkest theme that some TADC fans could handle) that this was not The Owl House, not a jab at Disney, not TADC, but something really dark, gritty, and horrific.

[Ghostlie 🍀 @ghostliescoffee]

@TooManyCrowns A large majority of Glitch Production fans did come from The Amazing Digital Circus, who do notoriously struggle to process heavier themes and morally-grey characters. Since Dana is best known by most for her work on a Disney Channel show, I imagine this was meant to show to—

—original post now with that in mind. Assigning gendered pronouns to one of the few inphernals that uses non-gendered pronouns and citing a disclaimer that does not apply to them is rather gross. I know they are young, but it is still unfortunate to see.

[Ghostlie 🍀 @ghostliescoffee]

I would like to since note that I've learned of how OP has acted regarding being corrected on PWN's pronouns being they/them despite others telling them that they are an explicit exception to the inphernals use all pronouns thing. I have slightly differing opinions on their—

[Ghostlie 🍀 @ghostliescoffee]

No hate to OP in particular but I have found that people with similar opinions to them seem to not understand where the concept of transgear being a transgender allegory may come from. Inphernals having no concept of gender is a nice world-building choice, but to say something—

@shfdsjkechizoid @idoubldar The Goro Akechi pfp just ties this all together. Like the cherry on top. It's perfect.

[Ghostlie 🍀 @ghostliescoffee]

@Bucket_Plant This is fair! I did not think this was the intention. The Phighting! fandom is very odd about transgear and transgender allegories. I imagine it'll probably have an uptick now that Soda has posted Slingshot with the transgender flag in the discord. No worries!

I don't like the fact that people are making slingshot being transgear into something about gender. It feels like i suddenly can't relate to the character anymore with half of the fandom assinging her a gender. The fact that theyre genderless is a big reason why i find comfort

[Ghostlie 🍀 @ghostliescoffee]

— Slingshot is being assigned a gender with this is kind of a moot point because of that, though ultimately I get what OP is saying).

Overall, perhaps this could have been worded better. It does sound a bit transphobic, but I understand the sentiment.

[Ghostlie 🍀 @ghostliescoffee]

—Phighting! community seems to view headcanons and allegories.

(Also, Agender is defined as having no gender identity at all, which is also genderless. Unfortunately, in the modern times, being genderless is also a gender identity. It's a never-ending loop, so to say that—

[Ghostlie 🍀 @ghostliescoffee]

—seriously enough to show that in game-related media. Phighting has always used gendered language and them being genderless as said on the wiki has always felt like a cop out, which I'm glad they're fixing. The purpose of this thread was mostly to discuss how the—

[Ghostlie 🍀 @ghostliescoffee]

—the concept entirely. Pronouns do not equal gender but it would equally be ignorant to pretend they are not associated with gender in some way either. Boggio has only recently actually started taking the concept of the Inphernals being genderless and using any pronouns—

[Ghostlie 🍀 @ghostliescoffee]

—any word is going to hold a connotation to the transgender identity. An Inphernal changing its gear from one they were spawned with to a different one is, perhaps, the most obvious segue into a percieved transgender allegory. You do not have to enjoy the fact that people are—

[Ghostlie 🍀 @ghostliescoffee]

—percieving it as gender, but it must be understood that it isn't something so out of the blue.

Note: I know that specifically, Inphernals are referred to as "genderless" and not "agender", I use the term because it is often what I see the fandom use when addressing—

[Ghostlie 🍀 @ghostliescoffee]

While I am sure they don't mean harm, OP is inadvertently sounding as if they dislike the idea that someone may view Slingshot being transgear as a transgender allegory, which I am sure is not the case. Transgear /has/ "trans" in the name, to put that prefix in front of—

[Ghostlie 🍀 @ghostliescoffee]

—like how they're all "canonically agender" is, in itself, assigning a gender identity. Gender is a societal construct in /our/ world and thus our perception of characters will mirror that construct because it is a very pivotal part of how our real world society functions.

[Ghostlie 🍀 @ghostliescoffee]

@CethicLovesJizo For context, I am also based in the U.S. This is a common issue but not something that most teachers would consider acceptable. The curriculum provided to you is discriminating against you based off of disability.

[Ghostlie 🍀 @ghostliescoffee]

@CethicLovesJizo As someone in ECE (early childhood education) this is actually blatant discrimination based on disability. If you were a second or third grader, an argument could be made for being behind due to a learning disability. You are a senior in highschool, there is no reason for this.

[Ghostlie 🍀 @ghostliescoffee]

Because she too found acceptance.

@raak00nz Sorry, I wrote a lot haha. Tldr is I love it !!

[Ghostlie 🍀 @ghostliescoffee]

@raak00nz I love both of these a lot! The first one has a lot of uniqueness in the stylization in the small eyes and placement of the nose and mouth, and also the thinner and neater lineart, the colouring is also very well done even despite being the older one! The newer one, though, shows
