Transmasc Swag Polls- PRELIMINARIES (FUCK SHIT DAMN IT UHHHHHH)

This round will eliminate the LOSER. The two characters with the most votes have a guaranteed spot in the polls, so choose whichever one suits you.

Propaganda and other info under the cut.

Why are these characters in the prelims?

I have publicly talked about having all three of these characters in the polls at separate points, so it didn't feel right to me to just quietly drop one of them. Otherwise, Chilchuck would've been kicked out since he wasn't actually submitted during the submission round

Canonicity Levels-

CHILCHUCK: Gender Tomfuckery

VASH: OOPS! Accidental Trans Man, Subtext/ Coded

LAIOS: Because I Said So

MEDIA?

Dungeon Meshi (and other related media), Trigun (and other related media look I'm not typing every one of them out)

BIG SPOILERS FOR DUNGEON MESHI, AS WELL AS THE TRIGUN SERIES IN GENERAL UNDER THE CUT

CHILCHUCK PROPAGANDA-

[Pollrunner's Note: As he was not submitted, I will have to take a crack at it until someone writes their own propaganda]

He is constantly infantilized by both his employers and people who are (technically speaking) much younger than him, both because he is short and because he has the appearance of a kid. Despite this it is clear from very early on that he is one of the more mature characters in the party, and is the series' Union Man. He has three grown (biological) daughters and is Very Much Divorced.

VASH PROPAGANDA-

Literally every single other member of his species (besides him and his brother) are female and referred to as she/her. Vash has scarring all over his body including heavily on his chest. Also, in the Stampede adaptation, Vash has the quintessential transmasc undercut. The Jesus allegory of the most fucked up queercoded twisted biblical tragic space western ive read in my damn LIFE.

[Pollrunner's Note: We're not even going to get into everything going on with him and Wolfwood I don't have enough space for that lmao...]

LAIOS PROPAGANDA-

Hes autistic and im autistic and autistic people love to be trans! also he has a complex about wanting to be a monster. Augh.

[Pollrunner's Note: Not a lot of propaganda here but I seeded a lot of commonly headcanoned autistic characters into these polls out of spite for... well. If you're autistic and trans you probably understand already don't you. It's self care and self love for me actually :) ]
