/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I cant breathe

Or it freaks people out because it's so out of the ordinary. Admit it, it's somewhat bizarre - to some in a good way, to others in a bad way. If you can't understand that, you're delusional.

Why must everything be forced into relating to feminism

Dude even as a person who wears the fashion. People aren't freaked out about it because it takes up space, but rather because people aren't used to it and are very vocal in most places about what they don't like.

This has nothing to deal with femininity but not following up on social norms. Women get shit on all the time if they don't wear what others believe to be right and acceptable.

>>7193003
Because Tumblr likes to embrace it's victim complex.

I bet they're fat.

wat

Lolita is the closest thing you'll get to victorian fashion today which was arguably the period where women were the most feminine ever

Well, that explains Vegas showgirls.

OH WAIT

I like it when they argue that lolita is so much more modest than normal slut clothes.

Because the first thing that comes to mind when somebody says "modest" is an expensive specialty import dress covered lace, ruffles, and gaudy patterns.

>>7193022
seconded

It doesn't freak people out. Some people are just assholes about it because they're assholes about everything.

>>7193031
But not all lolita is based off of Victorian fashion

>>7193049
You can be decadent and dress modestly you idiot, modest isn't the same as humble.

>>7193098
>Disregard dictionary definition
>Call another person an idiot for using the formal definition of the word.
WTG

>>7193121
But modesty as far as revealing vs. modest means conservatively dressed. It has nothing to do with the price or look of the clothing. Have you never heard that term before?

>>7193124
Modesty is not only a physical look, but a term to be used with value/wealth as well. A modest apartment isn't the opposite of Slutty McCondo, but a low priced apartment.

Its a joke. Har har. The clothing is modest in its revealing aspect but anything but modest in terms of pricing and gaudiness.

YOU CAN'T HANDLE MY RUFFLES
YOU CAN'T HANDLE MY DRESS
YOU CAN'T CONTAIN MY WOMANHOOD

>>7193004
>Women get shit on all the time if they don't wear what others believe to be right and acceptable.
>People get shit on all the time if they don't wear what others believe to be right and acceptable.

You need to chill out. It's clearly a play on the alternative meaning. Relax.

tumblr once screamed at me for owning a dreamcatcher

>>7193435
The same people probably call various Pokemon and hipster idols their spirit animals, so I hope you didn't take it too seriously.

>>7193435
So I realize Tumblr is really popular and I get the impression that it's easier to be a popular/high-traffic blog on Tumblr...but it's stupid social justice warrior shit like this that make me avoid Tumblr like the plague and stick with my Blogger page.

one of my buddies has started this tumblr girl thing and she won't stop picking apart everything I say and do. She keeps filling my Facebook with all these like, feminist articles and stuff about cultural blah blah and she gets pissed when I don't form an opinion
not really sure what to do, she used to be pretty chill but now I feel sorta interrogated every time we chat

Every time I see this, I immediately want to unfollow whoever reblogged it.
Like, it's just the DUMBEST logic, and anyone who has ever worn lolita out in public (or even fucking seen a picture of a decent coord) knows that it's not about it ~taking up space, which wouldn't even be cause for 'freaking out,' but because it's a bunch of grown ass women and clothing that you don't typically see grown ass women of our time wearing. Same reason people side eye OTT goth outfits, or any other alternative fashion.
Tumblr loves to make shit out nothing.

one of the people I follow was being harrassed for being a non-japanese bento blogger
"thats cultural apropriation!!1!"

>>7193447
tell her? otherwise she will continue to crusade at you and everyone.

>>7193464
>bento box
>cultural appropriation
>tumblr first world problems
Dude if you have time to be fucking pissed about boxed lunches and the race that makes them... You need to go reevaluate your life.
Seriously fucking bento boxes are a means to hold food they're not a fucking cultural thing.

There are fucking bento boxes just for sandwiches but you don't hear me screaming about how the Japanese appropriated European and American culture and our vast history of artisan curing meats, cultivating wheat and various bread making skills.

>>7193447
Ugh honestly I'd unfriend, she sounds like a bitch.

>>7193471
this one chick went off on me for whitenighting her.
"you're not Japanese, I dont have to listen! later basic bitch!"

I told her she better not eat any non-american food ever, and everytime she eats spaghetti an italian dies of cancer.

oh, the hatemail I got.

>>7193447
Try to talk her down gently, a lot of the time tumblr just sucks people up who hate disappointing others. That's a large amount of people who are scared to go against the SJW and it doesn't necessarily mean they're gone or a bad person, might just need a wakeup call.

>>7193493
>I told her she better not eat any non-american food ever, and everytime she eats spaghetti an italian dies of cancer.
I like your style

>>7193493
Whats your url I need to follow you.

>>7193464
my god.
how stupid.
Screaming about culturally appropriating Japan is so damn irritating. I know I would look like a damn fool in a kimono because i'm a blonde white girl. However, Japan is arguably the only large nation to not be colonized via greedy 15-18th century Europeans. They tried in the 15th century but the leaders caught on and kicked them the fuck out for hundreds of years. So japanese pop culture sort of gets to pick and choose what to romanticize from old western culture instead of having all aspects been shoved onto it by conquerors of old. If europeans had genocided them by the millions over hundreds of years, burned their national costume, and forcibly christianized them only to turn around and use that national costume as a fashion statement? -That- would be in poor taste. But bento boxes?
Homegirl needs to calm down.

>http:/ /gyaru-coordinates. tk/ post /67005640587/i- agree-with-that-anon- though-those-girls- probably

so parents telling their children to put some clothes on is "asserting power over an individual"

>>7193760
yo if someone wants to sexualize a little girl then that's all on them

>>7193518
Japan is also one of the nations that literally doesn't give a shit and they enjoy seeing their culture spread. think of the official "Kawaii Ambassador" whose job is to spread Kawaii culture across the globe.

If you're in Japan and attending one of their festivals or holidays you're expected to dress in the traditional clothes ffs.

It reminds me of that Japanese-American girl who I think was only half Japanese? But anyways she demanded everyone stop saying "kawaii" because it was cultural appropriation.

>>7193867
>"kawaii"
>cultural appropriation

>love Japanese culture
>spend years learning how to properly wear kimono, taking classes with Japanese teachers, learn tea ceremony, impress many Japanese friends with kimono-dressing ability, help spread knowledge about the history and proper care and wear of the garment

>brands r evil wah

>>7193990
She probably got charged customs and doesn't understand how import fees work.

>>7193867
Was it thisisnotjapan? Because I think it was them that went on and on about how kawaii is a cultural thing, and since it's the Japanese idea of cute, you're making a mockery of Japanese culture when you call something kawaii.
But they weren't Japanese.

>>7193956

It's mostly the idea of iki, the seasonality and storytelling elements of the traditional ceremonies and kimono. I just love the form and practice involved in kimono. I had a great time doing to Japan. I enjoyed it a lot. I'd never live there, I'd probably choose California to live in over Japan too, but from a distance it's a very interesting culture.

>>7193928

Same here in a way. Learned Japanese out of interest, was captain of a cultural dance team (Soran Bushi), and proceeded to be bitched out in my senior year by an uppity freshmen thinking I was culturally appropriating the Japanese by leading the team, and how I should let a Japanese student lead.

Well, I fucking would if they weren't all in hip-hop. Later I mentioned it on my Tumblr and my inbox exploded but at that point I just sort of tuned things out.

>>7193956
If you're a halfjap then why are you fat?

>>7194156
Oh muh gawwwdd anon, you can't just ask people why they're fat.

>>7194156

Too much whaling.
You know what these nipps are like with their fish.

>>7194156
am I really that fat?

TUMBLR is full of fucking idiots. I don't give a fuck about cultural appropriation, white privilege (which is complete bullshit anyway, see how much white privilege I have in japan), or any of the other SOJ shit those fat fucks roll around in on there.

You can lead all the japanese dance teams you want. There's nothing wrong with it.

>>7194178

No.

Why can't we just hate social justice warriors together.

we are ohana, /cgl/
and ohana means family
and family means no one is left behind

>>7194219
obviously not adult victorian.

I'm just gonna leave this here...
Oh, and, this girl is Korean-Canadian.

>>7193435
See, I kind of understand this.
Unlike Japan, Native Americans have come forward and said certain things are sacred to them and would prefer if they were bought from the source or not used at all.
A lot of cultures are really very open so things like >>7193471 and >>7193928 and >>7194097 are ridiculous because Japan has never come out and said hey you're being disrespectful. Where many Native American tribes have and said their culture is exclusive.
>I'm not a social justice warrior I promise
>I just thought I'd share.

>>7194243
You also didn't deserve to get yelled at.
This isn't known by the general public.

>>7194237
>>7194240
guh

>>7194243
Maybe if injuns were a little smarter, they could have colonized the world themselves. On that note, white people with dream catchers should be shot on site. That shit's embarrassing.

>>7194255
Some cultures are not so ambitious.
Also, Aztecs.

>>7194258
Then why were they killing other native tribes and taking their people as slaves? The obviously wanted to be great, they were just too stupid.

>>7194260
Because wars happen?
Again, not all people have the same idea of greatness.
Also, your point is moot because all cultures took prisoners of wars as slaves.

>>7194267
Omg, they didn't intentionally enslave each other, they just sort of did.

>>7194240
"Race is a European concept"
As if plenty of cultures and people haven't been subjugating other races and ethnicities for millennia on the bases of race and culture..
I would also like to point out as a Chinese-American that, yeah, the whole point of Japan not nearly doing anything so horrible as what THOSE AWFUL WHITE PEOPLE did is jack shit.
It's all bad, and really I hate when people try to play either the "who's the REAL victim?" or "who's the worse perpetrator?" game.

Tumblr in general gets my knickers in a knot. I simply unfollow anyone who posts even a single drop of this bullshit.

>>7194280
I know, right?

>>7194178

>>7194288

>Australia actually in the blue
hahahahaha hate to see what those other countries are like then

>>7194255
Wow stop you're giving me secondhand embarassment.
they didn't need to colonize or branch out at all really because the usufruct system was all they needed(this general rule mostly applying to native american tribes and not southern native empires).
it was great respect for their own environment that restricted them from being greedy assholes and taking more than they needed. Also the colonists would have died without native and it was the natives who facilitated out of kindness the european " sickness which only gold can cure(douchebaggery)", just saying.
Plenty of colonists couldn't tell edible vegetation from bunny shit.

A fucking Korean of all people should know better than to say this shit.

>>7194457
>being this naive
The Native Americans constantly fought and killed each other for land and resources, what are you talking about?

>>7194319
We only get a bad rap because the racist fuckwits are also the loudest fuckwits in the most public places here.

It's alright though racist dickheads usually get bashed by some of the big Maori and Samoan blokes who live here who've had enough of their shit.

>>7194457
>>7194502
I want to clarify I don't think that the colonists really did anything right as far as race relations go, just that Native American tribes were not all peaceful, deeply-intuned with nature, gentle pacifists that Hollywood likes to portray nowadays. The Apache come to mind.

>>7194497
Why didn't you include a trigger warning?!?

I feel triggered because you mentioned the following:
god, fatshaming, bodyshaming, shitlord, triggers, fat.

#trigger warning #body shaming #fat shaming #triggers #guns #language #shit #confrontation #insensitive people #religion

>>7193928
My friend studies tea ceremony - she got an extremely competitive scholarship to study in Kyoto for a year at a renowned school. She kept a blog on tumblr during her time there and seriously got some hate from ~tumblr social justice warriors~ for it.
I was legitimately in awe that people can be so thickheaded.

Triggers are thing that send you into serious downward spirals, not some entitled bitchfit.

>>7194866

Fuck. I hate tumblr, they're like appropriating words n shit. That's a thing right, not using words properly?

>>7194866
Same here. I hate how they've taken over a word for something serious and made it your everyday crazy attention whore talk.

Every time I see it I get super angry but there is nothing that can be done about it. It's best to cool off, ignore it, and move on.

>>7194237
This is why I stay off tumblr. I just assume all these people are underage and/or live in bumfuck nowhere and work at Walmart.

Or go to a liberal arts college *trollface*

> I can't be handicapped and transgendered in muh games

My god. I get people hating the lack of non-scantly clad female leads in games. Because that is quite an easy fix. While it is just no fun if you have to go to a questionaire with ''Do you want your player to be in a wheelchair?'' ''Which pronoun should they use for your character?'' Also if you would have to program all those different models and sentences it would get really tiring.

>>7194502
I won't deny it, but it mostly depends on the tribe. Apache? violent tribe. Sioux? didn't turn warlike until shit hit the fan. It depends on the tribe and circumstance. But before europeans started invading there was no honor for killing another man. For the most part, vital hunting was honored, not war.
Did you know scalping was started by white people, and then the indians adopted it? It came from the old european practice of taking prominent enemy leaders heads (take for example the saying "I want his head on a platter") but nobody had time for that shit so the scalps were taken instead as trophies. (Thanks to white people as well the Cherokees actually kept black slaves and were made to create their own alphabet and essentially christianize which they did and congress still shoved them aside when more land was needed. Hell, I'm white as it gets but that shit was just embarrassing. )
But really.
the common european pleb was uneducated as fuck. The spontaneous generation-a generally accepted theory up until Pasteur disproved it- is a good enough example of that. They were all in the stupid boat so girl don't even put them on a high horse just because you're mad at tumblr. There's plenty of other things to be mad at tumblr about.

>>7194512
>>7195448
o shit yo i wrote that reply before reading your second post.
>apache
mah nigga
that's some telekinesis shit right there.

>>7195349
The fact that bothers me is that hey, they don't use any pronouns at all, isn't that a fucking plus? You can also get guy haircuts eventually and wear whatever clothing you want.

a lot of stuff like this is just basically americans trying to pretend their worldview applies to other countries, which is insane because they are complaining about people ignoring ~non white ppls~ viewpoints while steamrolling north american ideas over them.. like insisting that someone call black people in europe 'african americans'

>>7195462
Oh god, this is so true. I hate this so hard. It's the same with people complaining about the "lack of body types" in anime, yeah, just because there are no obese girls doesn't mean it lacks body types. There's a pretty large range in any given anime.

Seriously, everytime I read "PoC" I want to kill some kitten.

As a whitey from a country with no remarkable history of racism I feel that you people are all cray cray.

>>7195203
Thanks.

Now go clean up your own board.

>>7195476
Oh God me too.
Am I the only one that thinks terms like 'PoC' and 'WoC' sound remarkably creepy like 'coloured person' and such??? They literally only changed the position of the verb like, somehow that is okay? If I was PoC and someone was like "oh my PoC friend is coming over" I think I would bitchslap their ass.

>>7195465
>just because there are no obese girls
HOLY SHIT OKAY WHY DOES SO MANY PEOPLE THINK PORTRAYING OBESITY IS A GOOD THING? Obesity should only be portrayed as a negative thing, one should not be proud of being obese.

>>7195546
Because Hollywood and the media have started portraying big is beautiful shit.

There's a difference between loving yourself and using that excuse to do what you want.

If you loved yourself you should probably take care of yourself to KEEP loving yourself.

>>7194538
> scholarship to study tea ceremony

That's a thing? That's so awesome. Is your friend's blog still up/active?

>>7195532

But it is clean. We're preserving and protecting the white race.

>>7195456
about pronouns, it's really fucking funny that they scream about gender but i doubt any of them know a single romantic language. I can see it now: "How dare you misgender a chair!!"

>>7195570
This. Never mind about non-Romantic languages. Doesn't Polish have five genders?

>>7195575

Don't try to confine me or my chair to your gender pentagon, shitlord.

>>7195582
TOld.

>>7195537
PoC and WoC are the EXACT same as saying coloured person. I find it offensive, and any non-white outside of Tumblr does, too. I saw an article where the journalist said person of colour, and the comments were full of pissed off black people because of it. I don't know who started that trend, but it's fucking awful.

>>7195582

so conservatards are racists because muh niggers
and libtards are racists because muh poc
is there no happy medium?
cant people just get on with it and not bother with every little thing?

>>7195693
Oh do I hate this shit so much.
I had a friend who fell into the sjw part of Tumblr who always refer to me as her PoC friend. That's literally all she called me after that.
"Hey guys this is my PoC friend! ^^be extra-nice to her because she's oppressed!" *continues to go on about how hard life is for da poor mehicans*
> Mfw my "PoC" parents are secretly ten times richer than hers and we've owned about 3 Lexus cars in the span of 10 years.
>mfw I speak up and she cuts me off saying that I've been oppressed and the evil whiet hetero men brainwashed me somehow

>>7195734
I would cunt punt her.

>>7195734
Oh god the internalized racism thing.
I always think of that dude from Boondocks.

>>7195744
Don't trust them new niggers over there!
Spreading their nigger essence in the air!

>>7195734
>mfw I speak up and she cuts me off saying that I've been oppressed and the evil whiet hetero men brainwashed me somehow

I love how they seem to think you can't think for yourself, and if you disagree with their viewpoint, and say, "Nah, I'm pretty good in my life. I've not been mistreated," they go on and say you're brainwashed, or you just don't know you're being mistreated. There was some post saying that minorities should never have white friends, because they will always talk about you behind your back, and look down on you. These kids project like no one's business.

>>7195734
If you're introduced as the "PoC" friend, does that mean you're her only non-white friend? That's pretty weird. I can make lists of my black and hispanic/latino friends, it's not just the one...

>>7195761
If she acts like this, I'm assuming no other POCs want to be her friend..

>>7195575
Nope, only three: masculine, feminine, and neutral.
As far as I know, no slavic language has more than three genders.

>>7195766
Thanks! Good to know.

I need to take up Polish sometime. Poland is such a cool country.

>>7195693
I'm really glad to read this, actually, because I was really struggling to understand why PoC would be acceptable when colored absolutely is not.

>>7195734
I have a non-white friend who is getting sucked into sjw stuff, and she really did not appreciate me being genuinely curious about the discrimination she's faced in her life as a minority living in a very well-off community and never having had to struggle for anything. She started yelling at me about how I couldn't suffer even though I'm from a way poorer family and come from a rough part of town (lots of gang issues and theft) because I'm white (I never mentioned it or tried to make a comparison, btw, I wanted to know about her and she dragged me into it). This same friend gets really upset about racism when it comes to her own race but has no problem wearing headdresses and hanging out with people who make jewish jokes and claims she doesn't care who she offends, so whatever.

>tl;dr I don't have a point, I guess, just happy to see a well-off non-white person arguing against this kind of bullshit.

>>7195575
>>7195766
(...unless you count singular gender forms and plural gender forms as different gramatical constructs. Then there is also pl. masculine and pl. non-masculine. Though in polish grammar they are not considered to be separate from singular ones.)

>>7195772
isnt colored connotated with the old "clean" word for nigger? "oh he's a colored boy"
that sais sjw and tumblrists do not go by logic
this whole poc business is incredibly offensive not to mention dumb

>>7195763
How do you feel about people referring to you as Latino?
Or, do black people prefer being called African or something else?

>>7195763
i'm white and i couldn't stand being friends with someone like that. like, what? what are you trying to prove? sf embarassing

>>7192964
She abandoned that account

>>7195769
It's strange to see anyone saying that Poland is cool, haha. And beware - Polish language can be a bitch, especially gramatical cases and pronunciation. Where are you from, anon? EU?

>>7195778
Do you think all non-white people think the same way? Even if Latino is the preferred term wouldn't necessarily also make African the preferred term as well.

>>7195790
UK. It's because our performing arts department went on a 'tour' of Poland (we performed in Zywiec and the surrounding area), and it was one of the best tours we've been on. Everyone who went has always wanted to go back.

I've always been into foreign languages and cultures (with the exception of Western Europe, kind of a bit too close to home). I have a mile-long list of countries I want to explore. Oh, if only I had the money.

>>7195549
Also, at the same time, many tumblrites lump together those who are "overweight"/have larger body types naturally with those who eat McDonald's for every meal.
And by definition, obesity is not good. Obesity is when you weigh so much that it is legit dangerous. Just the same as you shouldn't make people who are overly skinny/flat feel ashamed for being that way naturally, but you shouldn't be screaming and defending the life style of those who are SO skinny they are malnourished and actually posing a threat to themselves.

>>7195570
It's actually funny to see how many people on there think English is a Latin-root language, and not a Germanic one that is randomly adopting things from other languages (mostly through French)

In fact, the site has a lot of "intelligent introverts" who are complete imbeciles that pride themselves on being able to look things up on wikipedia.

I transferred schools to get into a specific program, and I ended up making a friend who constantly makes me feel like shit just because she buys into so much tumblr sjw crap.

I feel like I can't have or like anything without her bringing something up about how "x is wrong" and just generally makes me end up feeing bad about everything.

It's one of those things that's sort of a "legacy" situation - her teacher got the scholarship many years ago and referred her.
She's back in the US now and taking a break from tea ceremony, but she does still update her blog with reblogs from her kouhai that are over there and other traditional Japanese things:

i am so sorry, anon-san <3
ditch that sjw bitch

I know a girl who used to be fairly normal, just a bit annoying.
After she made a Tumblr, all she ever did was talk about "her feels" about TV shows and bitch about how everything is oppressing her.
She's one of those white cisgender heterosexual* middle/upper-class Republicans that get into all of this because she feels bad that she isn't oppressed or something, I don't know. She likes getting into arguments with "the Tumblr liberals" and thinks she won after she frustrates them with her stupidity.
She argues a lot but she really has no idea what she's doing, she just likes pissing people off.

I just needed to vent, apologies.

*She's told me before that she cannot find girls attractive, but a few months ago she was telling me that she got a girlfriend now, she just can't tell or show anyone else because she didn't want her family to find out. With how "in your face" she is about things, I really doubt this. I guess she's just pretending to be bisexual so she'll fit into Tumblr's oppressed-category a little better.

...but Jude isn't the typical sword wielding wannabe bad ass we are always given in Tales of games. How is liking him a bad thing? He breaks the mold when it comes to Tales of male protags. He's the cleric of the group for Christ's sake.

>>7196028
I've been spending too much time on Tumblr to even know this shit, but I guess some of the reasons could be...

>The lack of lbgt characters
>Majority of the characters are white (which is ridiculous because all the characters are supposed to be japanese to begin with)
>The only PoC lawyer is Godot, who's a prosecutor which means he's a "bad guy" (but then there's Klavier so I don't know how valid this claim would be)
>I'm pretty sure someone could throw in a claim about cultural appropriation if they knew nothing about the game series
>Idk I'm running out of ideas but there's always gonna be some radical feminist bullshit about how there aren't enough strong female characters

And spoilers ahead, then there's the whole thing with that one character in AA5 who could've been transgender or genderqueer or whatever, but turned out to be a reverse trap. I'm pretty sure the SJWs were pissed about that

I haven't played Dual Destinies, but apparently there's a character that appears masculine and then is revealed to be a girl and then acts really girly afterwards?

>>7196053

>Majority of characters are white

For whatever reason, white people like to project themselves onto anime style characters even though they are really Asian by default unless specifically stated otherwise via narrative or setting. They seem to forget that anime is not real and thus, Asians can look however the hell they want when it comes to THEIR fiction and fantasy. Also, Godot isn't Asian?

>>7196061
Actually they're not any specific race unless stated. Even if they have Japanese names. They only use Japanese names because those are the ones they are used to and can speak in their language. There are a lot of animes set in Japan and characters who are foreign in them, but especially in fantasy worlds the characters aren't any race.

>>7195898
Why do sjw like to pin things on everything. Anon you really need to ditch her or stop talking to her somehow, she's poison.

>>7196057
The way I saw it, white people have a higher chance of being her friend just because they won't be classified by race like she seems to with everything else, but yeah, she still sounds annoying as fuck.

SJW and cultural appropriation stuff is pretty stupid as it almost always boils down to reverse racism.

>>7196053
>>7196061
Iirc, Pokemon is the exact same way in a lot of those regards, and I've never seen SJW bitch about it. In the years it's been around, there have never been any lbgt characters, and even with the new 'pick your skin' option in X and Y, the game is still pale skin central.

Ace Attorney is supposed to be set in Japan, I would think since it's based off of the Japanese law system. Although.
The von Karmas and the Gavins are German, I think Edgeworth is European. I always thought Godot was hispanic or something, since his real name is Diego Armando. And it seemed like Phoenix, Maya, Mia, etc. were Japanese, but I could be wrong.

Sage, because this is a Tumblr thread, not an Ace Attorney thread.

>>7196081

>Asian media
>Made by Asians mostly for Asians. Westerners are free to enjoy the media as well of course
>Not assuming Asian is the default race in Asian media unless specified via narrative or setting
>In this much denial

Why are some people this stupid? That's about as asinine as claiming comic book characters don't have specified races.

Most anime characters are Asian. It's Asian media for fucks sake so of course it's the default race in their media. It's fiction, so they can make them look however they want, but their target demographic is ASIAN so it only makes sense to make the characters ASIAN in most of the media. Deal with it and move on. It's not even an issue.

>>7196122
Maybe because of Brock? He's a really obvious character and he's brown.

>>7196122
actually, there was a shitload of PoC npc characters in XY, and then you have Iris in BW, who's a gym leader, champion, and she was also a major protgonist in the anime for a while. Also agreeing with the anon that mentioned brock, so there's a few valid reasons as to why the swj problem isn't as significant in the Pokemon community, which is probably for the better.

>>7196122
In the original Japanese game, isn't Godot's real name Souryuu Kaminogi?

>>7194457

>>7196127
>>7196134
In early games, all of the characters were PoC.. They were Japanese. I don't know what to say of Brock, but everyone likes to assume he's black. I think I've heard somewhere that he was meant to be Filipino. Or, you know, he could have just been a tan Japanese person, because they exist.
I'd be more inclined to believe Iris is black.

>>7196132
Then I have no idea why SJWs would throw Ace Attorney under the racist bus, other than they assume not tan=white always.

It's always strange that SJW will ascribe races to characters just to comp;ain about it. Instead of assuming these characters are white, why not assume they were meant to be Japanese, considering they were made BY Japanese people.

>>7196053

There's a lesbian character in one of the newest games, I think.
The scientist chick.

>>7196130
No, you idiot there's a Japanese made term specifically for what that anon is talking about. A lot of mangaka and artists specify that the characters aren't of any race.

>>7196122
The von Karmas are American in the original Japanese, and were switched to German in the western port.

>>7196152
>why not assume they were meant to be Japanese, considering they were made BY Japanese people.
Because the point of SJW is to try to find fault within everything and project western/white culture and problems onto the rest of the world.

I hate their standards for everything, anime has a fuck ton more diversity than Japan itself does, but it doesn't matter because it's a problem that would exist in the west.

>>7195546

Pokemon has really expanded in the PoC department, but I remember seeing Tumblr throw a bitchfit over XY's lack of non-binary gender options...

>>7196161

>>7196173
> I remember seeing Tumblr throw a bitchfit over XY's lack of non-binary gender options

How the fuck would someone include that in a game. Especially a game like Pokemon.

The thing that has been popping up on my dash recently is how we shouldn't be reading such and such book because the main character is white. Do you guys ever really notice the race of a character? I sort of just glance past it, I'm more interested in the story.

But heaven help us if the main character is white.

>>7196147
Adapting to shitty hygiene=/= Superior genes
If you exposed any race to a new disease without modern medicine or proper hygiene they're gonna fucking die.

>>7196185

There is nothing wrong with acknowledging race at all. People need to embrace and celebrate those differences rather than look down and shitting on them. It prevents the world from being dull as fuck. The problem are the people who are bitch made and want to ignore it and claim they don't see it when that's clear bullshit. There is nothing wrong with white protagonists. It's just for some reason people thing white protagonists are unanimous with white supremacy or some shit. At the end of the day the shit is fiction and not real anyway no matter how hard people want to project via escapism.

>>7196181
>Would you like your sprite to be portrayed as if it had a penis, vagoo, both, or as an amorphous blob?

Why would they even put make believe genders into their game. I wish we'd stop pandering to people with obvious mental illnesses.

Trans; perfectly reasonable
bi/a/multigendered; fuck no, that shit is stupid as all hell. Gender isn't a fucking product of society it's an actual fucking thing. I'm fine with people being unhappy and wanting to switch genders, but these fucks who think that gender is gender roles can fuck right the fuck off.

Whoops

It's for people who don't identify by male or female; they could be in between, leaning more towards one than the other, or completely separate themselves from the gender spectrum.
I know one girl (or boy? I can't tell.) who likes to flipflop between gender identities so she considers herself bigendered.

>>7196197
You did it pretty much right. It's when you identify as something other than male or female (and I think being neither or both counts as well, and so does switching between genders.. you can tell what kind of shit I get on my Dashboard).

I think it'd be more like "Do you want to be a he, she, it, (s)he, xi, they, le, la, or something else entirely?"

Pretty sure these kids don't know shit about the difficulty of programming.

Are you all the same person? It's cool, man. I'm the same way.

I don't get why people have to make up labels and make it difficult.

>>7196226
Honestly the whole thing just seems like something that grew on tumblr. Trans people have been around for pretty much all of time, as well as gays, but the concept of feeling a certain gender is directly related to gender roles and nothing else. Most of the people I know who believe this sort of thing is legitimate or identify with it think that wanting to wear a skirt one day and liking sports another day means their bi-gendered, or that being a tomboy but still wanting to be a girl means they're a-gendered. Honestly, all being a guy or a girl means is that you like having a dick or a vag. Trans people don't like the sex organs they have, that's what makes them trans. I'm a woman because I like my vag and tits and don't want a dick. It has nothing to do with whether or not I like sports or dresses or cute things or violent things, and I really hate how people water gender struggles down to silly stereotypes.

It is understandable that trans people will adhere to stereotypes though because it's a new experience for them.

Sorry for the rant, just wanting to make myself understood.

>>7196133

>>7195898
I-I can be your friend, anon. That way we can bitch about our sjw problems together.

sage for double post.

>>7196236
Oh exactly, I've noticed the same thing. A lot of FtMs I meet just want to not have a period and be taken seriously, and a lot of MtFs seem to want to be soft and cute and taken care of. That's not what gender is, that's not what trans is, that just means you're not satisfied with yourself. You can still change that without throwing a bitchfit that someone called you the wrong made-up pronoun.

I feel really bad for a lot of legitimate transpeople because of Tumblr. I'm still not sure what is it about that site that made it a breeding ground for sensitive sponge children.

>>7194866
I know, right? If I get "triggered" by something, I'm really fucking embarrassed because it's usually something innocuous and stupid, and I don't make the world change around me because *I* have problems.

>>7196261

I'm sure it has something to do with all the "waaaah woe is being [type of person here]" getting so much attention. Sensitivity spreading too fast.

>>7195537
I don't have a tumblr, but it sounds like it's one of those things that's only considered socially acceptable on the internet.

>>7196268
Exactly.

I was the same way, I'd try to hide under tables but that just got more unwanted attention. People who found me would make me look them in the eye while I cried, which is actually a very very bad one for me.
Someone did that to me when I was a child, telling me over and over that I was ugly when I cried. And then made me look in the mirror and made me repeat after them.
>"Ugly. Say it. Ugly. Stop crying, you're so ugly like that. Look at that face in the mirror, don't you dare look away from it, anon. You're going to stare at that horrible face until you stop making it."

So, definitely didn't want any attention from it. I was afraid that if anyone saw my crying face they would disown me or talk about how ugly it was. It was embarrassing.

Someone just asked me if I thought that being able to draw anime-style as well as Japanese people was cultural appropriation.

I don't. Really? What? I just can't.

>>7196377
>implying Japanese people inherently know how to draw anime
Oh wow.

>>7196056
I get what tumblr wants to think about that character but the character is a girl, and always wanted to be girly was was sort of forced to act masculine for her parents. It has nothing to do with being trans or whatever. I'm not surprised tumblr would get mad about her and sort of miss the point.

>>7194866
fucking this.

tumblr completely mangled the usage of that term and made it almost meaningless

No. stop using cracked as a source, they are often full of shit. Research the Arawaks.Find out how Ponce de Leon died. Pick up a book or two before ordering others to educate themselves. Also, stop generalizing. It is terrible form.

>>7196434
>>7196428
I guess vaguely related to this, but I will never get over how they/teenagers in general mangled the meaning of "literally."
There's even a post about "LANGUAGE EVOLVES OOOHHH ISN'T THAT COOL LOL SUCK IT UP"

There's a difference between a word's meaning evolving and completely ruining it.
With "literally," its definition is now:
>when something is meant exactly as it is stated
>figuratively
Those are fucking opposites. That's a word that has been fucked to the point where it can be called useless. That's like looking up the definition of "one" and finding
>a single object
>many objects

Pisses me off.

Fuck you Nintendo.

I just saw a post that basically argued that if you assume a woman has a vagina, or a man has a penis, you are being cissexist and therefore worse than Hitler. Good God, do they genuinely believe that people thinking that the average person on the street is probably the same gender they were born on is the same as roughing up transgender people in a back alley for fun?

>implying the male protag in X/Y doesn't look hella feminine with just short hair, t-shirt, and jeans.

I swore to god my character looked like a tomboy chick even though I picked male as my gender in the game. As far as I'm concerned, X/Y has two female protags and one's just a tomboy or lesbian. You can't make a legit looking male in that game.

It's really for the best for her. Let her have her meltdown in private where she doesn't have to show up the world.

I hate when people on tumblr just decide certain characters are trans and get mad when people don't agree. If anything wouldn't it be good if the character was being referred as the gender they were transitioning to or whatever? Like I don't see how you make a character trans without it being a big reveal of them being born a diff gender. It just confuses the shit out of me.

>>7196773

Or when they make them gay? The only one they haven't done that to is Cecil from Nightvale since he's canonly at least gay. He may be bi for all we know. But hey.

"OMG CECIL'S GAY CANON <3333"

I got fucking berated by some anon after I used the word "nigga" they claimed I was appropriating black culture.

And then after I stated I was half black, they said it was still cultural appropriation because I'm not 100% black

How is ''My black person'' less offensive then ''My nigga''. At least my nigga sounds like you are friends, my black person sounds like you are talking about your slave.

>>7196236
huh... Just randomly dropping in here.
But, uh, is that all it really is?
I mean, I've always wanted and dreamed about having a penis, and never really wanted to acknowledge my own vag, but I would never go trans? Idk. I'm fine with being a girl and I don't really feel like going anywhere and I don't feel self entitled enough to go and try to change something that was beyond my control when I was born.
Yeah I mean it makes sex kinda awkward and stuff but I just... don't really care.

What gets me are the non-asexuals (or the little kids pretending they are) who never mention it, or leave no clue, then scream about being 'oppressed' and 'triggered' when you mention to them that you're in a sexual relationship.

It's not like I walk up to these fuckers and go: "Yo, my nigga, sex is the best and if you're not having it, fuck you!" I've literally had people ask me if I have sex, then get offended when I say yes.

I don't fucking get it.

Reading anything remarkably tumblrstupid in LSP's voice makes it a lot more palatable, it's a fact.

>>7196981
Those 3 are alright because they're just a little different from actual pronouns we use, but people who insist on being called "yo", "zihm", "mir", "hum", "thon", or "jee" are fucking retarded. Those words don't mean anything and are not going to become valid.

"They" is already the most commonly used gender-neutral pronoun, and "ze/xe" is the only other one that maybe has a possibility of becoming valid. Everything else is made up nonsense and will never become valid.

>>7197057
Actually it's being genderqueer and pansexual.

Most of the time the people who identify as genderqueer pansexuals present entirely as female and are in a straight relationship. It's hilarious.

The hypocrisy of these people pisses me off so fucking much.

I've seen so many people drop series X or Y for not having enough trans*, female, disabled, whatever the fuck characters, but they still cling to SnK despite the creator's views on the Japanese war crimes. I mean, the man straight up said that it was GOOD for Koreans and Chinese. It's right there, the racism is RIGHT THERE, in front of their faces, and they choose to target fucking Pokemon for not including an non-gendered otherkin trans-Hispanic FtMtFrM as a character option. Why? Because ~he has such good representation of LGBTABC123 characters~ ~Armin is trans because my headcanon says so, here's my overly long analysis of why this is huhu~

I could care less if they choose to continue reading/watching SnK, but to see people defend him for excusing fucking cultural genocide as ~oh well, that's just his opinion, you shouldn't blame him for what he's been taught~ is fucking disgusting.

>>7197109
All this and I have never seen someone simply claim their trainer in XY is trans.
You can totally do that, if you ignore the non-binary pronoun nonsense.

Oh, but that wouldn't require a struggle.

>>7197027
>>7197027
This is so true.

>>7197068
real asexuals don't get 'triggered' or 'oppressed' by that sort of thing, they just don't care about it. Being asexual doesn't mean you have a sex phobia, and even people with sex phobias aren't freaked out by the mere mention of sex, just when it's directed at them.

Dude I went to a predominantly black school and during classes when I'd talk to some of my classmates (most of them wanna be gang bangers) they usually liked me and called me "my nigga". The teacher would tell them to stop because they were confused why they were calling a little asian/hispanic girl my nigga.

>>7197129
>'cause she's mah nigga, nigga.

>>7197121
The greatest part is that he's never actually said that any of his characters are trans. He just said something to the effect of 'I don't care' when asked if one of them was a boy or girl and Tumblr basically went 'WOW HE'S SO PROGRESSIVE HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT GENDER ROLES WHAT A GREAT GUY LET ME LICK HIS FEET"

Relationships don't really tell anything about a person. You can be bi/pan and have a hetero relationship. That doesn't mean you aren't attracted to people who are of the same gender as you or trans* people.
But I can only speak for myself.
I've been in a few relationships with girls, but right now I'm in a poly relationship and we're taking it slow looking for a third partner.

I once knew a girl who claimed she was ~*asexual now*~ because she was spurned in a relationship. I told her sexuality isn't a fashionable trend you can hop around to be "kewl x3". She went on a whole rant at me for 30 minutes about how she "decided to be asexual!!! because 'other friend' is asexual and it's cool!!!"

I have a number of horror stories about her, ranging from going to the park and her screaming in my ear because she didn't want to sit by a couple and their child because "they looked dangerous and my anxiety is triggered" to her bragging about self harming.

>>7197129
>iktf
I like it.

>>7197141
It's more of a thing of "wow look how progressive I am! I'm attracted to everyone!" and then they're only in straight relationships ever. They use the label "pansexual" to show that they'd totally date a trans guy, too! as if transgendered people aren't just normal people and your willingness to date them requires a whole new label.

>>7197159
>as if transgendered people aren't just normal people and your willingness to date them requires a whole new label
If you surveyed a good number of average hetero men off the street, what percentage do you think would say they're okay with dating a trans woman? How many would say only if she was trans in a certain way?

>>7197109
>i could care less

>>7197170
So you're saying that other peoples' opinions of transgendered people determine how trans people want to be treated?

>>7197181
Noooo, I'm saying the label of pansexual makes it clear that those people are interested in a transperson as they are and it's still a useful label.

>>7197183
I still think it's shitty to call yourself pansexual just because you'd date someone who's trans. I always thought pansexual meant you can potentially be up for anyone regardless of who/what they are, not just because you're willing to date any male regardless of if he has a penis or a vagina.

The labels tumblr has are stupid anyway. They seem more concrete and forced than the ideas that even average people have about sexuality.

>>7197141
>>7197159
>>7197170
>>7197181
>>7197196

Pansexual doesn't exist, there are only two genders. Trans people fall into one of the two genders, they're just switching to the other one.

Now stop arguing.

>>7197196
> I always thought pansexual meant you can potentially be up for anyone regardless of who/what they are
That is what it means... I'm guessing I should have read further up the comment thread before I jumped into the conversation, I'm apparently not talking about the same thing as you.

>>7197043
>>7197068
I'm not really sure what my sexuality is, but I'm older (turn 30 next year) so asexuality wasn't really a term when I was younger and dating and having sex. I actually didn't even know it existed until someone I was dating confronted me and asked if I was asexual, since I had told him I never have had a sex drive or really been interested in sex. I've looked over the asexuality.org faqs/handbook about it to try and figure it out a couple years ago (since every relationship I have had I've always puzzled over my lack of sexual motivation and attraction even though I found my partners physically/aesthetically attractive to me) and I guess I can say I identify as asexual. It kind of was a surprise that there was an actual classification for me, because I thought I just had some kind of problem upstairs.

I don't think sex is gross and I've never scorned someone for talking about sex around me since, frankly, those kind of discussions are usually hilarious and I can still relate since I've had sex and have my own stories. But I've never actually told anyone I'm asexual. Not sure if that's good or bad.

anyway, I don't know what the point of this comment even was.

>>7196830
I'm not trying to go all SJW on you but the dynamic between you and your friends is different than the institutionalized dynamic when it comes to that word. "My black person" is stupid as fuck but it's not using a word that is historically and racially charged.

>>7197198
>I have an opinion and I'll just blow over whatever logical points were made on both sides to let everybody know that I'm right

>>7197204
Come on, admit it. Pansexual only exists in the realm of thought that there are more than one gender. It's a really special snowflake thing to think and it's usually used to isolate trans people. Trans people aren't a gender, they're just people who are one gender but want to be or are in the process of becoming another.

>>7197215
>it's usually used to isolate trans people
Please get a Tumblr and use that argument on someone, I want to see them rip their eyes out coming up with a counter to that.

>>7197215
Labels are supposed to be indentifiers. The point of the label of pansexual is so people know that if they're trans and get into a relationship with you, even if there's a surprise when the pants come off or something comes up where they discover your parents originally named you Tim, not Tina, they aren't going to freak out because omgwhatafreak.

>>7197201
See, that's a problem. If the people doing it are fine with it and not bothering anyone else there's no issue. Obviously their friends were perfectly fine with it so the other persons' opinion doesn't matter. Part of successfully taking back a word and changing the meaning is evolving it to rid it of it's old connotations. Thinking of how it was once used and not moving from it doesn't change the word or solve the problem, and it doesn't help move forward.

>>7197224
Yeah, but it can be really hurtful to trans people to be identified as trans and not the gender they identify with. I know several trans people especially who are really offended by the term pansexual and stay away from people like that because they don't feel they're being treated equally as other males or females.

It's a really tricky subject, but even though the term is an attempt to help it does a lot of damage.

I'm not going to quote anybody in particular because so many people are discussing this, but do you not realize that pansexual is meant to include more than just trans and cisgendered people? It also includes people with more fluid gender identities and people like crossdressers and drag queens, as well as people who desire to be androgynous.

>>7197237
Pansexuality doesn't automatically label the options beyond cisgendered as trans, there's more than just cis and trans people in the world when it comes to gender bullshit.

>tumblr in a nutshell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWYbjsnBQfE

>>7197236
First off, being a crossdresser or drag queen is not part of ones' sexuality. It is reflected by some of the time, but it is not directly related.

Secondly, we're talking about actual gender, not people who assume 'gender' is a set of stereotypes and role expectations.

Now please kindly fuck off back to tumblr. The grown-ups are talking about real problems.

>>7197144
...you're not still friends with her, right?

Does anyone else here feel that identity labels and gender identity as a whole is just a huge sham made for people who are too cowardly to handle the tough things in life and try to find an easy way out?
Idk, it just seems to me with this abundance of teenage girls who suddenly don't want to be girls anymore (because being a girl is hard and they'd rather have it easy without working for it) is doing a lot of fucking damage to women as a whole.

>>7197244
Crossdressing is a reflection of a person's view towards gender and sexuality and is relevant towards how other people feel towards them sexually. I'm sorry you only subscribe to the college freshman's gender manifesto.

>>7197241

>>7197260
most of tumblr aren't going to be able to handle the real world at this point. And all these fucking labels aren't helping either.

>>7197260
There are historical records of people attempting to change their sex and wanting to be the opposite sex if you're talking about being trans as it is. If you're just talking about the labels, I think it helps people feel more connected to each other.

Hugbox mentalities are bad.

>>7197244
For the record, from a sociological point of view, "actual gender" is referred to as "sex", and "gender" refers exclusively to gender roles.

Tumblr doesn't seem to understand this, however.

>>7197256
But crossdressing isn't an gender by itself. It's an expression of gender but that doesn't make people who crosdress an entirely different gender.

Same goes for drag queens/kings. They dress in drag for fun or to perform, and go by opposite pronouns while they're in drag but not while they've just living in their day to day lives.

>>7197241
Watching this sketch on SNL is always painful for me. I know it's a joke but there are so many people who actually behave like this and I know a few in real life. It makes me feel gross and strange to watch.

>>7197264
I think what they're getting at is that there seems to be a sudden influx of teenage girls who basically don't want to be female anymore for largely petty reasons.

>I make a joke about Benedict Cumberbatch
>Girl in a class of mine gets upset, tells me not to since he totally hates himself and has low self-esteem
>I know for a fact that actors require very thick skin to even survive
>They also think he genuinely has a crush on Martin Freeman

What the fuck is with tumblrtards and not being able to discern reality from their goddamn "headcannons" and shit? They're pretty much walking definitions of "Confirmation Bias" and "Projection."

I hate tumblr because of this cancerous social justice shit. I hate that it's seeping into anime fandoms too (see: SnK and Sailor Moon racebending art/"Hanji, Naoto and Chihiro are trans!"/"Kill la Kill is sexist!" etc.). Also, I think PoC is a stupid term, to me it sounds like some bullshit PC language, like saying "horizontally gifted" instead of fat.

I also hate how quick tumblr is jumping into bandwagon on SJ issues without questioning it at all. Take cultural appropriation for example. Some SJ blogger (most likely not Native American) decides that dream catchers are racist and offensive to Native Americans? The whole tumblr is suddenly convinced that if you own a dream catcher, you are literally Hitler. Or if you dress up in, for example, a kimono or a sari as a white person? Go kill yourself, fucking racist pig, you might as well dress up as an SS-officer!
Oh yeah, also it's never considered cultural appropriation if you borrow things from white cultures.

Same with this "power + prejudice = racism" thing that seems to be popular with SJW these days. It's just fucking manipulating definition of racism so that they can't be accused of racism against whites no matter what they say, and tumblr is totally eating that shit up too. If something's branded offensive or racist or sexist or whatever they are ready to defend it to death even if it makes zero sense.

what the hell is steven universe and why is it all over my dash? is it because the characters are multiple races and one is fat?

I've lost so many good friends to the social justice warrior side that it kills me and honestly I lost my shit on a few of them when they started referring to me as "their oppressed friend". They stopped treating me like a person and just used me as a soapbox to spew their bullshit and it still stings.

>bragging about self harming

I've never gotten this. Even the special little identities people bandwagon over I can understand, it gives them something ~unique to cling to, but why things like self-harm and EDs get glamorized and bragged about I just can't fathom.

A thing that pisses me off is those tumblrites that cry racism if you wear a kimono, or paint your face like a sugar skull, or god forbid like anything that is outside of your culture.
And then they call it 'cultural appropriation' as if that is racist and bad
CULTURAL APPROPRIATION IS NOT RACISM. Sure, there can be racist things that sometimes come from it, but it is not racist itself.
These people want every culture in its own little bubble so that they don't mingle or change or grow (which sounds actually racist).
But they also fail to realize that isolating a culture is the fastest way to kill it.
They also fail to realize that they are speaking english, which wouldn't fucking exist if it weren't for cultural appropriation.

>>7198605
It's only cultural appropriation is only wrong when the culture that is being appropriated comes out and says something about it. Japan doesn't seem to care, but sugar skulls are different. I can't say it's offensive to use their designs as make up, but I do want to share this info in case anyone really cares:
Sugar skulls are used on altars to dead family members to call back their spirits to their home on the Day of the Dead (Also known as All Saint's and All Soul's Day, a Catholic holiday). They write the deceased's name on the skull and decorate them by hand.
So I can see how some people might be offended for girls to be using it... It's like mocking the dead, if you ask me. I'm not gonna sit there and tell people to stop though.
Just please do research before you decide to do something stupid.

>>7198632

Mexican here.

We don't fucking care.

I'm not trying to be rude, but it's true. It's a celebration open to everyone you don't have to have a dead family member to join in, and a lot of people dress up and paint their faces.

>>7198654
Sweet. Thanks for the info.
I've always wanted to celebrate.
My point still stands: before you do something, please do research.

I hope all you idiots using the term "poc" get called "person of no colour" or "without colour". I remember being told why "coloured" is so offensive by a woman who hated the idea that she was a white person who'd been coloured in with a felt tip pen. It makes sense.
Just use black (or Asian or brown or Indian or fill in as appropriate). It's on your government approved forms. Even afro-carribean isn't completely approved of by the black community since that lumps two completely seperate communities together. But person of colour? It's so clearly offensive that I'm disgusted that anyone uses it and pretends to be better than all others.

whenever I see 'person of color', I always remember those pictures in my history textbooks of the water fountains that said "whites" and "colors"

>>7198605
SJWs cionfuse cultural appropriation (which is fine, it keeps cultures dynamic, opens minds, etc.) with cultural MISappropriation (which is the inappropriate use of cultural icons against the wishes of the culture in question). By placing things like sugar skulls, dreadlocks, and traditional kimono in the same basket as Native headdresses in an attempt to seem ~socially aware~, they are in fact showcasing their own ignorance to an offensive degree.

i think a lot of what people are saying, and this is what i think, is this whole 'fuck u acknowledge my special otherness' is the attention seeking, juvenile way of going about normal life, which is that people are not just clearly one thing or the other in all ways, and you don't have to shove made up labels in other people's faces to have a healthy interaction with people. i like/am weird/do badly in regards to a lot of things, but i don't have to go around seeking attention/labels just cuz i'm not the same person as everyone else.
the other thing is that, about the attention seeking - and kind of IM COOL? seeking part of it - let me list all the things i am and have people talk about me me me to me, just like having a personality quiz on your myspace or something.
and you know, any problem you have with something doesn't 'make you ___', lots of people would be totally cool with being able to be a man or a woman whenever they wanted, or feel weird about sex, or just, you know whatever, your identity isn't just some words listed on your tumblr though.c
