@ShrimpleDays Melina is saved therefore it is the good and true ending!
I don't think using the needle counts, not without any explicit confirmation that Melina is alive.
@eroscestlavie_x well it's quite different to calling something 4chan
and when calling something 4chan also carries implications of autism, them being different means there's more going on than just that.
for me calling something reddit is more about being basic, or a kind of shallowness
@femaleprostate crossdressing on 4chan was 100% a positive experience for me and i made a lot of friends some of whom i flew overseas to see and am still in touch with to this day
it bothers me the way there's this insistence on it being a negative experience, or tying grooming into it
@poisonjr i have sentiments in common with cis women and experiences in common with cis men
but with trans men i have neither, it's a totally foreign existence
i mean aside from the whole trans bit, but being "trans" isn't who i am, it's just how i'm defined
@ultraCLAIR3 they're talking to each other, not to people outside the community
whereas something like this is explicitly narrativising and commodifying their existence for public consumption
@Reliabled_ @arujinyuri @poisonjr i'm not saying objective, theres not even any such thing as an objective statement
i am just saying i find it to be shit
@Reliabled_ @arujinyuri @poisonjr it is describing a very specific place and time and presenting a very specific image of it
and even aside from the factual innacuracies i think as someone who was there i can say "that's just not what it was like"
@poisonjr i crossdressed on 4chan and i would say it was broadly a positive experience for me, i made friends, some of whom i met irl, i found out how to get hrt, i had people to talk to. the comic is bad and dumb
@CahiersduAnima@EPM106 i certainly don't relate to the kind of isolation it presents at all, and i say that as someone who really struggled with family.
tl;dr it's just not what it was like
@CahiersduAnima@EPM106 and there were always other people being traps on 4chan, so it was not difficult to find like-minded individuals to talk to and make friends with. there certainly wasn't ever a sense that you were doing anything particularly fucked-up or unusual (by 4chan standards)
