the average trans person usually sees "genderbends" as harmful to the trans community; you couldve just made her transfem and nobody wouldve had a problem with it

May I ask why is it harmful?

Is it alright if you can go off-anon and explain it to me in DM? I think we can discuss about the topic more efficiently that way. If not, that's okay too.

everything was great actually until you add femsniper which kinds of sour the entire comic to me tbh /nm /lh

ah, thank you for the feedback. However, it is a bit late to remove her from the series now.

I add female mercs into the comic series because I want to be diverse with the gender roles? I don't think i like having my comics purely made out of masculine characters only, I want to add feminine characters to balance it out, and maybe some gender neutral ones too (like Crona from Soul Eater)

I'm sorry if female mercs are not your cup of tea but W is part of the series now.

with the current genderbend concerns, i wanted to share another perspective, still from a trans individual.

i believe the reason people get upset over genderbent characters is because it’s stereotyping what makes a man and a woman (women having long hair with a defining figure, men with short hair and a tall build), when trans people don’t always align with these ‘standards’.

i do think it’s a double edged sword, there’s many pieces of media that are actually worthy of having fingers pointed at for being offensive. you’re an independent artist making content for a fandom on your own accord, whilst being very respectful about it and willing to take feedback. i think this speaks bounds about your intentions and care towards your audience.

i do not think there is anything wrong with your content.

Oh, I see, that makes more sense.. I once have a gender-bent version of Scout with a pixie haircut, trying to make her look more tomboyish. I also give her shorts because I don't think it's effective to run in a skirt at all. I don't think the usual femscout design is practical or good enough to me, so I make my own version of her. Unfortunately, I have fallen for femsniper's design, she's too gorgeous. I'm sorry, I'm down bad.

I want to believe that the anonymous(es) were just suggesting, it is up to me if I want to listen to them or not, they don't intend to force me to change my story. I did tag my posts as cw genderbend now though so they don't have to see my comics on their dashboard anymore, I just don't understand why genderbending is harmful and it makes me wonder if I was giving people gender dysphoria through my artworks.

There are some supportive and opposing asks in my messages so I want to thank everyone for taking the time to send me an ask to help me understand.

About W, my OC, she can be trans or cis according to the reader's interpretation, because I just want to portray the experience of a woman being in the line for a job mainly for males by most people, W has the "breaking the stereotype" kind of story. I don't usually give my character "a gender" unless it's necessary for their story to make sense like Alex (very early stage of ftm) and Mark(born as a male, but raised as a girl because his family wants a daughter, giving him a gender crisis at some point).

I Have Never Interacted In Ur Main Acc For Some Reason ( That Reason Is Fear And Shyness ) But After Following U Since Day 1 Of @daily-tf2-engineer I Must Ask : Why Did You Do That Sideblog ? Just For Funsies ? Or Are You Practicing ? Something Else ? Just Curious- Also That Blog Gives Me Literal Happiness Boosts Whenever You Post ,,, Every Day There's A Engineer , It's A Good Day .

I originally did it because the engineer is my favourite character but I can't find the time/effort to draw him. Now I kind of did it for fun, like a small challenge for me. I want to get better at drawing him anyway.

Thank you for enjoying the blog :)

Hello I just wanted to ask,if someone reposted or traces one of your artwork what would you do? I want to post some of my art on here but in not so sure.

Good question. I'll be very honest here, there's nothing much I can do besides ask them to take down my art or credit me at least. If it was traced, I will probably close one eye and let it be.

Personally, I don't really care what people do with my art, I don't get upset as long as it isn't used commercially or harmfully or in AI art. Fuck AI art. Ahem, anyway. In that case, I'll either make a public post to spread awareness or make a report.

I choose to post it online, it kind of becomes a free domain on its own. People just choose to respect the artist and didn't repost it for ethical reasons.

tl;dr It's inevitable to escape the fear of having your art traced/stolen if you want to post online, so you just have to live with it as a social media artist.

Hello, are your commissions open? Have a nice day, love your art ^^

yes, they are :) send me a message.

and thank you

[kreidxpriz]

i mean this as a compliment. i want to use your artstyle as a pillow (it's so calming and soft)

One second i thought you meant body pillow but thank you

Ah.

but I wouldn't say that W is a "gender-bent" version of the sniper, she's an OC. Much like any other female OC there is. Her hair colour is different, I don't plan to have her long hair stay for long.

I think I can see why because she resembles the Canon sniper a lot. I don't know why is gender-bent triggering for some people but I'll tag it for the sake of your own comfort. I apologise.
