After all this time the webcomic Misfile still holds up.

What are the main influences that you drew upon for your comics?
So the biggest influence would have to be ASequentialArt. The guy who makes it is the artist of Saffron and Sage and thus his influence is rather more direct; any kind of meta-fuckery in Legend of the Hare or Saffron and Sage is either Carlos' idea or something I thought he'd like. The big parallax finale of Legend of the Hare was his idea, and one of the low-key reasons I'm dragging my feat uploading that comic is that I don't want to have to figure out how to set it up again!
Kill 6 Billion Demons inspired the idea of having "Lore" under the Legend of the Hare pages, though that idea crashed because no one cares about my lore.
Gunnerkrigg Court inspired the idea of making Saffron and Sage episodic, an idea I actually regret a little, which is an essay I've been meaning to write.
It's a small thing, but Homestuck inspired my character writing just a little by making me think of "rules", like how every sentence out of Liri's mouth ought to deserve an exclamation mark or how Saffron often talks in sentence fragments because she's a busy woman and doesn't have time for superfluous words.
Prequel Adventure, Narbonic, and Latchkey Kingdom are all comics I like that have similar vibes to mine in one way or another, but the comic whose writing feels closest to my own might actually be Cassiopeia Quinn. If you take Cassiopeia Quinn and you mix in a bit of Katia Managan you get something not entirely dissimilar to Liri Bloom.
Final Fantasy XIV (specifically Shadowbringers and Endwalker) isn't really an influence, but it is something I've been thinking about a lot lately. Those expansions are very thematically dense in a way that both inspires me to try better and makes me want to give up and quit. That's sort of tied in to why I regret the way I wrote Saffron and Sage episodically, and perhaps one day I'll write that essay. I'm pretty consistently on the precipice of quitting Saffron to try to start a new comic; I'm a notorious dilletante.
But if you look at how horny the characters in my comics tend to be when the comic itself dares never show a boob, you can probably see the deepest influence of all, the one I dare not speak even to myself, which is all the trashy quasihorny shounen manga I read in high school, and the early webcomics like The Wotch or Misfile that had a bit of that energy that stuck to me indelibly no matter how much I try to pretend otherwise.

Was just catching up on Misfile/Hell High and the author has just come out as trans. Probably not the biggest shock to anyone, except the author themselves who said they had been in denial their whole life (they haven't announced a new name or pronouns yet and said they will keep their name for now)
I'm not trans but that comic was my first experience getting some understanding of the experience of gender dysphoria. Then I started going out of my way to follow artists or programmers who are trans to try and understand the community better, and I was surprised to see misfile actually has mixed reviews among trans people themselves. Very curious to see someone reanalyze the comic with this new information in mind.

Just...
Why do relationships have to be so hard? They're supposed to be natural and beneficial!
They should be easier and less confusing, dammit!
Why can't I at least know what I want? It's not fair when my feelings fight each other inside my own head!

POV you're actually in one of these webcomics...
POV: you’re a teenager and you just discovered a neat webcomic that’s kinda fun with some interesting gags in it :)

Did you guys know that (in most cases; it varies fandom by fandom) if you have a problem with a fandom wiki, you can edit it. Because they’re fan wikis of fan knowledge. And you’re a fan. You don’t have to sit back and complain about it. You can go forth and do good. The power is in your hands. I believe in you

What do you think cis people get out of genderswap stories? Especially ones which are very wish fulfilment for us trans girls. Sure some mangaka are definitely eggs or repressed and it's sad but for the ones who aren't I still haven't really figured it out so I'm curious what thoughts you have
Honestly ever since the author of "Misfile" came out as trans I don't think I am able to confidently state who is likely to be cis or trans, because I considered them specifically to be in "likely to be cis" category because 1.) not wish fulfillment 2.) author had a trans parent they could write the story parts off.
I also have been trying to ask people around about this and I never got a coherent answer either. I do have a theory though:
Let's say if I asked people two questions
"how would you rate your experience living as your assigned gender"
"how would you feel like living as other gender"
I'd say that:
trans people would assign higher grade to the second than the first
cis people would assign higher grade to first than second
trans people with a high difference between the two are most likely to transition
the lower the difference between the grades and the higher the gatekeeping and other costs are, the lower the chance a trans person transitions
cis people with significant difference between the two would be unlikely to entertain the scenario of let's say, "woke up as a girl one morning" as some sort of hypothetical
so that leaves people who would rate a high grade to a first question, and a slightly lower grade to a second question (like, let's say, 9/10 and 8/10 respectively)
Are there people like that? Dunno. If these people exist, would they transition? No. Would they transition if transition was easy and not gatekept? No. If there was a hypothetical device that would let people switch back and forth easily, would they use it? Definitely.
Given an absence of such a device, what remains is crossdressing or exploring the feels through hypothetical scenarios. This leads to @ashe-delta's explanation of genderswap stories of "giving people a safe space to explore gender", or how I used to call them, "a mirror to my own heart"
With all that said, I'd say that the final answer for stories that are specifically wish fulfillment depend on the degree of it: if high, the author is likely trans/egg/repressing; if low, we're likely dealing with cis person who is not "strongly cis".
For non-wish fulfillment stories there's a bunch of explanations I could come up with, but this will go in another reblog, as I've been holding this one in inbox for a bit long already.

Could I ask for help finding an old webcomic? It was b/w kind of manga style, about a boy who got magically transformed into a girl, but it was ALSO basically a sports anime about street racing/drifting??? I remember it being slightly too horny with really sick race sequences.

Misfile. The creator has a new comic called Hell High on the same site with similar but somewhat cleaner art.

Do you agree?
"Being a girl now isn't nearly the same thing as having been raised a girl. You're missing seventeen years of double standards, media influence, harassment from boys and, most importantly, the experience on both sides of girl on girl psychological warfare."
