Propaganda under the cut.

Mordred was submitted without propaganda.

Nana Daiba has too much propaganda for this post! You can find her propaganda post here.

Hey, Transphobic anime fans who constantly call Mordred (Fate) and Yamoto (One Piece) women depsite the text calling them men and despite the characters themselves having clear opinions on that. Cause one time, you saw a youtube comment say a translation called them a girl.

THE SKY IS GREEN!

Now whenever you talk about the sky, your gonna say. "Now I know everyone has their own feelings and thoughts about the color of the sky. But I am calling it Green. Okay? Okay! Be civil about this and don't go screaming about how i'm miscoloring the sky in the comments." From now on, right? Because you saw one motherfucker say it wasn't blue and your brain is only good at remembering which anime panty shot made you pop your first boner, RIGHT!

Rainfall on Camlann

Who's left to cry for Mordred

Stranger in his father's court

As the distant sun grows heavy

In the sky above the fort

Who's left to cry for Mordred

When the tale draws to its end

No one left to mourn the heartbreak

That was far too great to mend

Who's left to cry for Mordred

As he stumbles through the dead

As his world falls through his fingers

Hands so slick and stained in red

Who's left to cry for Mordred

On that lonesome Camlann Hill

Left shattered on the silent earth

His body, cold and still

Who's left to cry for Mordred

When, at last, his fight is done

As the curtain falls on Camelot

One last bow for Arthur's son

Hope you have fun with all the requests, I look forward to seeing more of your awesome art!

If I might make one, this stuck itself in my brain and refused to leave - Mordred from the Fate franchise with a trans flag.

I'll do you one better

Trans sword

[morally-grey-girlbosses]

Alright, I've finished looking into the Mordred situation. The TL;DR is that Mordred (Fate) has been disqualified from the tournament moving forward.

My initial reasoning in allowing characters from across the gender spectrum (i.e. Chara, Nimona, Perihelion/ART) was that "girlboss" is a term some nonbinary and male individuals have applied to themselves, or had applied to them by others that they then accepted. Gender experiences are broad and characters who fail to see themselves as "girls" may still be comfortable seeing themselves as "girlbosses." (Similarly, there are many people who embrace being a girl but reject being a woman, or vice-versa - one of my headmates is among these.

However, the parts of Mordred's story that are commonly read as trans or gender-nonconforming elements seem to reject the idea that "girlboss" is an appropriate label for him. For those unfamiliar with the Fate franchise, here are the bullet points. (Note that I myself am not a Fate fan, so any Fate fans in the audience, correct me if I'm wrong on any of these or missed important points.)

Mordred's description in his Saber form uses he/him pronouns for him in multiple places.

Mordred's description in his Saber form explicitly states that "treating him as a woman" will activate his rage (as will "being too obvious about treating him as a man.")

In the original Japanese, Mordred uses a set of first-person pronouns that, while not explicitly gendered, are usually associated with a masculine adult.

There are multiple instances where Mordred snaps and makes violent threats at other characters for referring to him as a "girl" or "woman."

For the sake of balance, I'll also note the following points against the idea of a transmasculine Mordred:

Mordred's description in Rider form uses she/her pronouns for her, as well as stating (in one translation) that she is avoiding grappling with her identity issues in order to enjoy her time at the beach.

Mordred is listed by the game explicitly in multiple places as being female. Contrast this to other canonically trans or gender nonconforming characters in the franchise, such as the nonbinary-coded Astolfo (whose gender is omitted "at their request") and the canonically transfeminine Leonardo Da Vinci (whose gender is listed as "young girl.")

Other characters use she/her pronouns for Mordred frequently.

I have chosen to exclude Mordred from this tournament because most of the points that support his masculine identity deal with his own image of masculinity, and what terms he self-applies, whereas the points against are generally based in his relationship to others and the frameworks that they put upon him.

In practical terms, this means that Nana Daiba (Revue Starlight) is automatically the winner of Round 1 Match 86 and advancing to the next round regardless of the results of the vote. The loser of Round 1 Match 85, Odin (The Bifrost Incident) vs. Enma Ai (Jigoku Shoujo) will automatically win her first match in the loser's bracket, as there is no longer a loser from Round 1 Match 86 for her to battle. Apologies to the fans of Mordred who read his character as feminine and were rooting for her in this poll. Despite my making this decision, I do not endorse any unkindness to the submitter of Mordred, or those who voted for him.

Finally, I would like to apologize to any transgender or gender nonconforming fans of this poll who were offended by Mordred's inclusion in this poll or felt that it made the poll an unsafe or unaccepting place for them. I was not made aware of the complications surrounding this character's gender prior to the tournament, and had I known I would likely have excluded him on similar grounds. As a plural system in which many members are trans, I hope you will be able to forgive and trust us for this error in judgement and recognize that we are doing our best to moderate a poll involving many franchises with which we are not ourselves familiar. It is never our intention to erase the experiences of any transgender individual or invalidate any transgender representation with which those people identify.

Looking up Mordred (Fate) fanart, fanfics, *CoughhentaiCough*, and even more all have the wonderful theme of, "Oh this is really good, I....*Notices Mordred getting misgendered in the tags/description*....Uuuugggghhhh."

Lemme just link the clip for those unaware of how asinine you have to be to call Mordred a girl.
