I doubt anyone will see this but like I just want to scream into the void for a moment.
I've seen so many people complaining about how making g3 Frankie non-binary was a "bad move" and how they should've just left them the way they were and made a new character to be non-binary. I apologize if I sound rude but as a non-binary person myself, that argument just sounds kind of foolish? Like, that's what being trans *is*. You were *this* in the beginning, everyone knew and liked you as *this*, but now you know that you're actually *that* and so you let everyone know that you're *that*. While a lot of people support your change, there will always be people that insist that you were better as *this* and that that's how they will always see you. In Frankie's case, they were originally a girl and used she/her pronouns throughout g1 and g2, but are now non-binary and use they/them in g3, and people complain that they were better off as a girl and that they shouldn't have been changed. Idk, just sort of reeks with transphobia to me, whether intentional or not :/
And for people saying they should've made a different character non-binary, people don't need a *reason* to be non-binary, that includes characters.
I'm not saying you can't complain about g3, just like anything it has its flaws, but be constructive, prejudice isn't an argument.
Anyways fuck transphobes, Frankie is my little guy and I love them, have a lovely day to anyone who reads this
Because this video can be difficult to find, I’m posting it here for archive purposes. If you don’t know, this is the video that was used to announce G2 of Monster High
Since Frankie is made of dead peoples body parts, it'd make sense to me that they technically can't grow their hair, so if they cut it and end up wanting it longer, they have to sort of 'spark' the follicles to life. It basically ends up just *poof* growing down to their feet immediately, and they can redo this over and over again depending on if they mess up during the styling or cutting process.
I think because the hair is dead also, it's very dry and thin, so they essentially need to have an intense hair care routine and be really careful because it can break off or just fall off super easy if they aren't careful.
