nobody will ever understand the beef i have with some of the tf vocab words. like who decided that teeth are “denta” and tongues are “glossa” like that. doesn’t flow correctly in an english sentence dude. that does not sound right. don’t even get me started on how venting or intake is used to mean breathing in or out. DEFINITELY don’t get me started on the ENTIRE CONCEPT of CYBERTRONIANS DRAWING A DISTINCTION BETWEEN BOTS AND FEMMES? WHY IS BOT NOT A GENDER NEUTRAL TERM? ESPECIALLY SINCE IT REFERS TO… THE AUTOBOTS? WHY ARE THEY BASING IT ON HUMAN PERCEPTIONS OF GENDER?

#transformers #DON’T. LISTEN. I KNOW THERE ARE LORE REASONS FOR THESE #I HAVEN’T READ THE COMICS. I HAVE ONLY READ SOME FANFICTION #BUT NOTHING CAN STOP ME FROM CAMPAIGNING AGAINST THESE TERMS #not to mention the whole can of worms that is TIME MEASUREMENT #mostly it’s the gender thing i think that #no matter how awkward these terms feel they do further the worldbuilding meaningfully #except the stupid fucking femme/fembot thing. that makes utterly zero sense to me. i will never use it i would rather die #anyway hopefully this isn’t taken too seriously this is just my vibes based opinion #but i will die on this hill
