I dont get how leftists can enjoy like video games or tv. Like 1 person will dislike whatever it is and instead of being normal they'll dig back 10 years on the creator of whatever it is and find some out of context tweet made by their uncle and then declare the creator is a murder pedophile who eats babies. Then everyone eats it up as if its not 1:1 a homophobe would do as a psyop

I think there is a lot to be said about the way women who are in positions of power via something like whitness, cisgender status, ability, economic class etc. etc. — use those positions of power to abuse non-white men, trans men, disabled men, homeless/working class men, etc. as a form of "payback" for their treatment at the hands of men who fit the patriarchal mold (i.e. white cis abled upper class etc. men) because it's easier to hit a vulnerable person than confront the actual, systemic root of the problem — but I really don't think the people of Tumblr are ready for that conversation.

I need to start playing some more RPG Maker games, like Ib, OneShot, and even Ao Oni. If nothing else, I should put all my energy into

playing OFF.

[ID: a very simply drawn three panel comic. the first panel shows a person approaching a cat that's laying on the floor and reaching down to hug her, saying "gertie." the second panel shows two coins falling from the person's shirt pocket. the third panel shows the coins bouncing off the cat, who doesn't care.]

This scene from Top Secret will never leave my brain, it is there forever. In dark times I can just whisper 'GREHNAHD!!!!' to myself and everything will be okay.

It would be a much more tolerable and rational conversation if it was "i connect with and enjoy art from this demographic more" because I wholeheartedly agree. I connect with art made by trans men and it brings me more joy than anything else. Unfortunately the people making the argument that certain kinds of art work are better or worse aren't doing so to uplift a community, they're doing it to be petty and vindictive and to make themselves feel superior. They're not satisfied with uplifting trans women/cis women, they want to be a piece of shit.

I was already seeing other ppl talk about how (cis) women make better art (somehow provably) than (cis) men and ofc TRFs then have to rehash this with binary trans identities.

Not only is an argument like this just as moronic and pointless than if you started arguing that sonic the hedgehog likes you more than anyone else, it's also just as unprovable. The idea that art made by a demographic could somehow be "worse" or "better" (whatever you even classify that as) is so steeped in facism that only an out of touch, self obsessed child would cling to this.

No, friends. Your pronouns don't affect the quality of your artwork. Your genitals and hormones don't either. There's no such thing as a community of people who make worse art, yes even that community you're thinking of. People's obsession over being able to classify some artwork as inherently worse or insist that artwork they like = an artist being morally pure is so beyond uncomfortable.

The post already feels messy but I just connect with this guy so much. I love Ralsei. I've loved him since the game came out. I feel so much of what he feels and its so good to feel seen, even if its not explicit in canon in that way. I can't think of another piece of media that even touches the complexity of how the patriarchy makes feminity mandatory in a way that hurts, and creates such a complicated relationship with activities that I love like cooking for others.

I do want to talk about how much Ralsei really fits as a trans man tho. His entire deal is that he struggles with his relationship with the prophesy; his job in the prophesy is to help the lightners, and that translates to him falling into what would usually be the "feminine" role in an RPG: he heals them, he protects, he cooks and decorates and is trying his absolute hardest to be the emotional support for the lightners. And he enjoys some of these, he says, he likes to cook. But he feels pressured to do it. Its all hes ever known and he feels as though having to perform feminity is defining him and warrants taking away his personhood.

He's struggling to let these things go and to also live with them. I think a lot of trans men can understand how it feels to be pressured and compelled into performing femininity and feeling less than human for it, that you dont deserve the things that others do and you don't deserve self determination because of your status under the patriarchy. Its even worse when you enjoy doing things that reinforce that, like cooking or caring for others.

Ralsei cannot find a balance; the joy he gets from performing "feminine" actions are connected to his role in the prophecy, its a reinforcement of his place in something that dictates that his life does not matter as much as others. His role is to serve the lightners, and to not stray away from that. His role is to be feminine, and to not stray away from that.

I think Ralsei would be happier with balance. That he can cook for the lightners, not because he has to, but because he wants to, and that he deserves to be cooked for just as much as they do. He can find joy in these feminine things without it being connected to his role in the prophesy, those rules don't have to dictate his life and his importance as a person. His identity doesn't have to be determined by what the prophesy wants him to be! His body as a darker doesn't have to dictate his identity, the prophesy says he has to be their caretaker and that makes him less than, but it doesnt have to be that way.

I would really appreciate that if ppl reblog that we don't talk about trans woman ralsei on my post. You're valid in your headcanon, but I've seen it so much at this point, I'd like space here to just talk about how I feel and view this character as a trans man.
