im genuinely stunned that ena5 on no uncertain terms canonises mizukis transness and people are still calling it a dissappointing queerbait bc mizuki doesnt turn to the viewer and explicitly say "i am transgender" like please for the love of god. mizuki is undeniably, no question, irrefutably trans, to deny it is absolutely asinine and purposefully transphobic but im still seeing takes about how its still "not good enough" because its not spelled out, bolded and underlined

the desire for better queer representation in media is always justified but to get a genuinely really lovely and heart gripping slowburn coming out stories in a fucking hatsune miku rythm game of all things and then stomp ur feet and cry about queerbaiting because the story fades to black as the trans character in question is about to spell out what we all already know is so soooo childish.

i wanted them to say trans, i wanted them to spell it out, i wanted them to shut up the transphobes denying mizuki as a girl, but just bc they didnt it doesnt sour anything, it doesnt sour how good mizuki and her story and her character as trans rep is and i think people acting like it did are letting the dissappointment get to them in a really nasty way
