huh, the amount of people who perceived themes other than eugenics and transhumanism in regards to evolution in phyrexia is very interesting to me
#just. Huh!#i get the aesthetic appeal dont get me wrong the entire design for phyrexia is very cool#but considering the core philosophies behind the creation of original phyrexia and how that bleeds into new phyrexia#the amount of people i see who go to great lengths to kind of. twist it into a leftist or trans symbol is fascinating#when at its core its based upon an ideology that seeks to ''perfect'' perceived ''flaws'' like being transgender#but at the same time transhumanism and the idea of changing your body to something optimal is also heavily significant#thematically when it comes to trans stories. especially when considering the perception of so many people that transitioning is somehow#a mutilation of the human body that turns someone into a monster (wrong). so i can see why other trans people#would identify with phyrexia in that vein. being seen as monsters for undergoing such a procedure#for me phyrexia and the procedure behind phyresis has always come off more as an allegory#for medical procedures done to ''perfect/fix'' the unwilling. forced reassignment for intersex people or lobotomization of the disabled#sterilization of the “undesireable”.#esp with yawgmoths (self proclaimed eugenicist though his writer was kinda confused abt what eugenics actually is)#malpractice and violence upon the masses and views on race and the reverence that phyrexia (his creations of course) hold for hi#*him#and the facets of that worship which continued to exist into new phyrexia
