every time i see some post or artwork that tries to portray a universal ""afab""" experience (usually with blood/menstruation imagery) and labels itself thusly i like to smile serenely and think "not me though 🧡" skill issue

#like if you mean womanhood then just say that. no need to do gender essentialism at us #it's blatantly transmisogynist to use afab in place of woman and also it's plain wrong too #'being afab is constantly facing misogyny' not me tho. try again

"ummm actually it's a good thing that zelda plays differently from link, because link has the triforce of courage so of course he fights and uses swords! meanwhile zelda has the triforce of wisdom, so obviously she's going to find more clever ways to solve her problems teehee ;)" hey did you guys know you can still be excited for the game while also acknowledging it's pretty fucking shitty of nintendo to act like zelda is incapable of picking up a sword in a mainline game.

#“but zelda doesn't know how to use a sword” yeah....neither does link in a lot of the games. it's often the reason behind the tutorial. lol #it's especially a slap in the face because a lot of the time link also gets a magic staff of some sort in the 2d games. like????#yes as a zelda girlie i'm still excited to play the game but i just don't know why people are even trying to defend this decision when #it's so obviously one based in sexism. literally just “boy strong and fight with sword while girl wear pretty dress and have big brain” 😐#fans of misogyny: the game series when it gets misogynistic: 😮😮😮😮🤯🤯🤯🤯🙈🙈🙈🙈🤡🤡🤡🤡😴😴😴😴#loz posting #🎮 tag #send tweet
