@ganseyyiii i totally get your feelings but as someone who is turning 30 this year i found it so uplifting and hopeful, our messages around aging in society are so fucked but it’s nice to think that it’s never too late and that you can enjoy profound romance and sex at any time in life
@_mephistophea@suzylostatsea and whether you see that as exploitative/trauma porn or trying to shine a light on something is up to you, i wouldn’t tell anyone they were wrong for having feelings about it but i read the comic as being deeply sympathetic towards ripley
@_mephistophea@suzylostatsea if the idea is to show how bad those corners of the internet can be, i think trans women probably have the most to fear? my experiences online were traumatizing but lacked the same stakes, parents found out and i never feared violence from them for example
@suzylostatsea@_mephistophea i completely see your point and critiques wrt the transfemininity aspect but i also do have to wonder if the getting groomed on the internet part is drawing from personal experience. unfortunately trans teens of all genders often end up in those kinds of spaces
@MareSchizo2@Zaoist4 this is because for every customer who says “black coffee” and means it there’s another who secretly wants something in it and will come back and get mad that you couldn’t read their mind. there’s no need to be sarcastic to service workers who are just trying to cover their ass
@PuckDeepener i fully agree that it would be wrong for a trans man to accept this award
and i think they should examine their efforts to include transfeminine voices but that person is not a man and this discourse wouldn’t be happening if she didn’t have a mustache 🤷
@lesbianofarc my theory is that we are actually just overly in sync with what is currently popular and what makes a name “clocky” is that it’s a name you would expect on a child instead applied to a 30 year old. zillenial men are not named oliver they are named matt lol
@narivaaaal okay like the screenshot about svetlana… she is not seriously saying ilya and svetlana should have ended up together?? she is thirsting after ksenia and going “wow if i were ilya i’d have locked that down” i don’t understand any other interpretation of that lol
