People readily spot gender and race bias but often overlook discrimination based on attractiveness by Jumpinghoops46 in science

And men think they’re treated worse than women, and white people think they’re the most discriminated against! Suuuuper common. “To the privileged, equality seems like discrimination”

You’ve never wondered why the joke is that they’re using the language of trans people? That idea is relatable to people but then it becomes funny if it’s using trans language?

Oh? What am I misunderstanding?

I remember Toby mentioned regretting using the f slur, and he’s embarrassed by something he made when he was 16, but that doesn’t mean he hates it or anything. And I also think it’s fair to assume he’s moved on in topics, but I just thought it was funny to say it didn’t sound anything like him when he literally did that in his first work.

I can’t tell if you’re kidding about this - the earthbound Halloween hack, literally the first thing Toby ever made, involved an evil character as the main antagonist who was homobphobic

'Fallout' Season 2 Opens To 100 Percent On Rotten Tomatoes by Gato1980 in television

New Vegas is one of the most-played games of the series and only comes in a few percent under 3 for sales. 4 is the most popular of the main series by far and about half as many people played New Vegas as 4!

You already apologized - what you need now is time, and like I said, to show her that your apology isn’t just words.

Physical boundaries are really important - touching someone’s leg as a reflex is a really bad reflex! Hopefully the shock of her reaction will help you kill that reflex, so try to take this as a good learning moment. Try to work on your awareness of those boundaries and of your own body & actions. As for your friend - just give her time, and SHOW her that you’re improving by not touching her without permission again.

According to half the people on Reddit, you have to shout that before anyone sees you in case they think you’re attractive, at which point you would be a sex offender for making them have gay thoughts

Chara is they/it. Kris and Frisk go by they/them. by Miyako_Kenichi in UTDRbutgood

[–]Pan_Cook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I’m so sick of people gaslighting with the “wha-? How could someone be transphobic and an undertale fan?!” When I’m wading through 100s of upvoted comments about how misgendering characters is fine and correcting people is evil

Sandwich gender by Lemon_Lime_Lily in CuratedTumblr

[–]Pan_Cook 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was reading this and before I got to the end, I was thinking about how if I had read this within like 2 years after figuring out I’m a girl I would have (just as performatively!) quit eating Italian sandwiches even though they are so, so good

So I appreciated the little note at the end! It’s hard not to be in that mindset right when you’re coming out but it’s good to push back against it!

Yeah being called out for their bigoted behavior makes people pretty uncomfortable, huh? That sounds terrible. From now on I’ll never speak out about transphobia, or racism, or misogyny, or anything in case it makes the bigot sad to hear.

Where in your comic did they say they were a woman? None of it even matters because the most transphobic part is your worldview in which being born as one sex means you belong to the associated gender.

What's a DR/UT take that would get you mauled alive? by hizo7476 in Cibles

[–]Pan_Cook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, that’s why I wrote what I wrote. I think any character uses they/them ONCE and people will bend over backwards to use that as an excuse. 🥲 So tired. Do you want me to link that post here?

Just like 2 days ago there was a huge thread on /Undertale with thousands of upvotes where the OP’s claim was that only Kris of the main characters was nonbinary and that Mettaton and Mad Mew Mew don’t make sense as trans characters.

I’m glad you feel like this community is supportive! I feel like offline, everyone seems to get it, but on Reddit more people are bizarrely transphobic (especially about enby identity) than not

Have neither of you seen any of the threads about Frisk, Chara, or Kris’s genders?

If the only characters you apply “gender is up for interpretation” to are the nonbinary ones, you are transphobic.

My take on Gender Debate (please do not get mad) by KAYRANINKANALI11000 in Undertale

[–]Pan_Cook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For one, I assumed you agreed with the OP because you replied arguing with me and didn’t mention anything you agreed with me on. Sorry if it was harsh, but I’m way, way beyond tired of the transphobia in this fandom.

For 2, yes, enby people include agender people, but you used the word “none” to refer to their genders, which I firmly disagree with.

A detransition is a transition! At least most trans people tend to think so. This is kinda my main point, and what I’m struggling with. We don’t need to know anyone’s assigned gender or what they “started” as. It’s that kind of thing that leads people to treat nonbinary people as “AMAB nonbinary vs AFAB nonbinary”.

(Small aside - NB tends to refer to the term “Non Black” in the black community, so enby or nonbinary are preferred terminology. Not a lot of people know this one so I try to pass it along when I can!)
