dont rb /
=a character in, like, a slightly older piece of media will be the butt of a transphobic joke and like... much respect to those who point and are like "im reclaiming&reinterpreting this theyre trans now" (so true<3 so valid<3) but my goodness me, you really do see some people point and... insist that its actual representation.... with their whole hearts and, like, willfully believe tht the writers did it in good faith and try to like praise them or act like its some hidden theory. and obvs, obvs, obvs im not talking abt like characters being coded a certain way bc they couldnt be open abt it, but when its like "dude keeps getting called a girl as a punchline"... or the even more egregious, this character was genuinely intended to be a walking transphobic mess. and again valid when its ppl aware and who are just saying fuck it in many cases but like. its like some ppl who rlly dont... actually try to think abt what the writers were genuinely intending with some stuff and im like uh. uh. uh!
#egg.txt#one example im thinking of ... perhaps cassandra doctor who#like no offence but ehrm#a trans woman who's obsessed with plastic surgery and has undergone so much to the point where shes now like#a flat piece of skin ...#and is in general a horrible person#like maybe uh. shes not the trans icon we want besties?#and yet i see ppl applauding it like HI? HI??? HI?#idk if rtd wrote that torchwood ep where jack comes out and says that. disgusting transphobic ''joke'' (oh heavy emphasis on the joke there#oh such heavy emphasis)#but thats still in his era and im like . raising my eyebrow at tht shit too bc even if he didnt surely ... he's just let it slide then?
