#roro would call her a terf in response but still

Tbh I think maybe the infantilizing of Roman is part of why I'm having trouble with the trans girl HC even though I support it conceptually, because it does feel like kind of a weird uncomfortable caricature just in the way I see some people writing about it. Idk if it's just me being a hypocrite or having shitty bias, but I think I just always find grown women acting like babies off-putting even if it does make sense for the character.

nah... i kinda get what you mean like, if tgirl roro wasn't too sexually repressed then she probably would be into ddlg or baby talk, and if she was as sexually repressed as she is in canon then she would still be very immature and probably model herself after a marilyn monroe character.

Roman does get infantilized by the fandom, but it's also something he does himself which is why his form of arrested development is so disturbing to me, like he does not act like shiv's older brother at all, which is why the fandom pretends that he is either younger than her or the same age as her, which is lame and also an easy way to admit that you're fave's canonical behavior towards his little sister weirds you out too much lol.

The only time roman actually acts like a normal big brother towards shiv during the entire series is, when he protects her from ken in the finale and that is more about ken losing his mind and physically charging at his pregnant sister in the first place.

Honestly, roman very much wants to be the baby of the family and is mentally stuck at 15, so tgirl roman would be similar and forever be a 15 year old girl.

I do get where you're coming from and no you're not biased for being uncomfortable with grown women acting like little girls because it makes me sick too.
