guys hudson can be both bisexual AND racist have you ever met a bisexual man? gay men too, in fact. “hudson sucks so he’s a straight boy” nooooo belonging to specific identity groups does not make you virtuous!
Using negative stereotypes about a certain group as fodder for their character’s backstory. The idea that trans men are just women who seek to avoid misogyny is quite common in transphobic circles.
The reality is that Naoto is canonically a woman, but transgender identity itself is used as a metaphor to try to highlight her struggles with misogyny which like. Is just bad writing because being trans is not a metaphor!
So don’t blame random trans people for seeing Naoto as trans but instead blame Atlus for their bad writing choices! Imagine if there was a white character insecure about being robotic and as a way of showing that they made their shadow asian, that’s kinda what Atlus did here.

“Gone are the days when City Hall will turn its back on queer New Yorkers […] City Hall will also not back down in the face of Federal attacks against trans New Yorkers”
— Zohran Mamdani on NYC’s newly established Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs at his Mayor Pride Party.
I don’t care what anyone else says, this is the best way ash’s tenure in the anime could end. He doesn’t need a run back with Alain or Tobias, he doesn’t need to end team rocket, and he ESPECIALLY didn’t need to marry Serena. This is absolute cinema
the phrase "lipstick on a pig" has always inspired a deep sadness in me. I think of the pig, looking forward to her big night out, and I bring myself to the verge of tears.
