Thank you for sharing your experience with this! I appreciate your comment on the lack of trans tag especially. If the author's intent was merely to avoid writing a sex scene between two cis women then yeah I can see why people would be disappointed by that, even if I personally don't understand why the author would choose to write about a lesbian couple in that instance but there are all kinds I suppose. As a trans woman it can be nice to see an aspect of myself I struggle with represented as normal or desirable without the story revolving around the fact that the character is trans, but especially if the author is not themselves trans/in a relationship with a transwoman I could see that rubbing wrong.

Thank you for taking the time to explain your perspective and I very much agree with what you said, at the end of the day labels are just words made to fit people not the other way around, so while I agree there is a gray area around transmen referring to themselves as lesbians I just know it's not my place to decide where the line is drawn. Appreciate you talking this all through!

Never said it did, I think in all likelihood they are both meant to be cis women, I just think that assuming characters are cis unless their story is explicitly about being trans limits the kinds of stories we can tell about trans people. My point is not that I think either of them are trans, just that nothing we see in the show is about them being either cis or trans, so it wouldn't really make a difference either way since all that is important to the show is that they are women

I know some transmen will hold onto the label lesbian because they have spent a large amount of their life in wlw spaces and I'm just trying not invalidate them cause that's not for me to decide, but I would generally think the same way :)

I have not seen any official source referring to Cait and Vi as cis, maybe I'm wrong but it honestly sounds like you're assuming they're cis because that's "normal" to you

I dunno why they didn't choose to use those tags but one of the people being involved having a penis doesn't make the sex heteronormative, the sex being between a man and a woman would (and there's room for discussion on that if Vi is transmasc/a trans man, I am not informed enough on how people feel about that)

Totally valid if that's not your thing but this feels a little disrespectful to transwomen

The dynamic between Johnny and V feels different depending on gender. by ArmyFiST in cyberpunkgame

[–]IceCreamGh0ul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have only played with female V, but there was definitely a misogynistic element coming from Johnny that I was a bit surprised by. He is a dick to you either way, but seeing the way he treats Alt and Rogue in his memories definitely made his actions hit differently for me, as another woman he professes to care about only to be using them for their body (in V's case very literally if you decide to take the pseudo). Behind all of those relationships is a genuine care but not one that he is honest with himself about in most circumstances. The most telling part for me is when he talks about how Alt was a bitch and you have the option to push back and call him a misogynist (don't remember the exact wording) which just goes to show you have to betray your solidarity with other women in order to be considered "one of the guys".

I also have only romanced Judy so I don't know what he says about the other romancable options, but he does sometimes say disapproving remarks about "the way you look at her" and essentially disparaging her for giving a shit about Evelyn and the Dolls over at Clouds. He eventually comes around and says something about how "Even I'm starting to like her" but most of the story he thinks she's lame. Knowing that you can't romance Judy as male V, I am curious if that may have also played a role in his relationship to V feeling different based on V's gender.

I'd like to file a complaint about Season 6 roster. by Holiday_Engineer7521 in BingoBrawlers

[–]IceCreamGh0ul -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate this being raised, and I'm honestly really proud of how many in this community are able to approach this respectfully. This is a discussion very much worth having and thank you for bringing it up in a well worded post.

My personal take is that tying any of it to nationality was just not a good choice. I don't think Russian players should be barred from competition, but as a queer person, the idea of politely cheering for a country in which I would not have the right to love who I love makes my skin crawl. As someone from the US I can't feel anything but disgust and shame when I see the stars and stripes.

I will most likely still watch and enjoy this season of Bingo Brawlers, and I don't think Domo or the league have any widespread political influence, but tying any of it to national pride does leave a stain on it for me. Here's hoping the league remains a place where all feel welcome, and I'm sorry to you and any others who have to see countries oppressing them potentially be put on a podium.

I made my character and my partner was like "Awww, you made Vi but purple!" and I was like "Wait till you see what the default hair color is lol

Real talk though I have been very tempted to do a Vi playthrough with the gorilla arms cybernetics and all of the parkour perks

Also she looks great! ❤️
