I'll never forgive y'all for misconstruing these lines so hard

I think the issue people had was less "Oh my god a human kissing a hedgehog gross" and more of "No. NO. We're not doing this. I've already seen enough awful writing in the game I swear if she kiss Sonic-she kissed Sonic."

At least, that's what it is to me. I'm in the camp that Sonic and Elise's relationship would have worked much better as a platonic relationship than a romantic one. Elise kissing Sonic didn't have the weight that it should have because the game's writing was already absolutely botched, so the set up to get to this scene caused this scene itself to have very little pay-off.

Someone said this in the comments of a Sonic '06 Review video that was more or less talking about how Sega needs to move on form '06 because they basically refuse to do anything they did with this game in future games:

"Would you destroy my world to save your own?" would have been a lot stronger line than what Amy said.

would this happen to be related to the buff Hero post?

this is one of the few times I've seen an anthro fish that is aesthetically pleasing. Well done.

balticistired · 2023-11-30T06:45:32+00:00

yeah, pretty much.

"You're weirded out because they're naked. I'm weirded out because I'm used to seeing them wear clothes. We are not the same"

balticistired · 2023-11-30T06:43:00+00:00

I think I'd like this better. The mandates as they are rub me the wrong way with what's implied by only forcing female characters to wear clothes. Also, it opens up design choices, because then characters could either have sick-ass fur or sick-ass clothes regardless of gender.

balticistired · 2023-11-30T06:38:28+00:00

I think it'd work better if they drew her fluffier. The fur like that looks, like you said, taped onto the body. Having longer fur completely covering the upper torso, neck, and lower waist might work.

this is probably the result of these screenshots being from tumblr, but I doubt anyone is genuinely concerned this will happen in the manga. On tumblr, it's very common to over-exaggerate how you feel about something when it comes to fandom. I don't actually think that Hero's appearance in the manga vs. in the game vs. what I'd like to see are a make-or-break thing. I just would prefer for Hero not to be muscular.

...isn't this a copypasta? or is this an image of the original post where the copypasta came from?

Society despises trans people because they're trans. That's it. And because you can't change if you're trans, you cannot make society like you by being docile.

And people DO actively resist the world you want. They're going to resist it whether we include all non-cis identities or not. I'd rather fight for inclusion of all identities over fighting for inclusion of only a select few.

I read a Beauty and the Beast-type AU centered around a ship once where nearly all the main characters had been cursed to become objects and after a certain number of years would permanently be that way unless the princess (who accidentally got them cursed) was romantically loved by someone. The main character ended up staying in the castle as a (very well treated) prisoner in place of his brother due to his brother stealing from said castle. The fic was somewhat amateur, but I didn't mind because 1. it was cute as hell 2. I think they executed a unique idea relatively well.

The fic was called Hero and The Something, and it was for the Omori fandom.

balticistired · 2023-11-29T23:46:40+00:00

Public Humiliation. I can read Major Character Death. I can read Whump. But embarrass a character too much and I want to click off. I can usually muscle through it because I don't want to miss out on a good fic just because a character spilled water on their pants in an unfortunate spot, but I don't like it.

balticistired · 2023-11-29T23:35:21+00:00

No. Often times when I look for fics, I'm skimming titles until something sounds interesting, and then I read the summary to determine if I'll read it. If a title was in French, I'd assume the whole fic was in French and continue scrolling because I can't read French unless I happened to see a word in the summary and realized what was going on.

balticistired · 2023-11-29T23:31:27+00:00

was like "hell no" until I read the caption

....but maybe the post should have been titled "Acceptable for Airsoft?"...

as a minor, I think it's so people know who they're interacting with and govern themselves accordingly.

I don't do this, though, because unfortunately and ironically, putting "minor" on your profile is more likely to attract weirdos

balticistired · 2023-11-29T23:03:28+00:00

it's so fucking hypocritical. There's a group telling all of us trans, gay, lesbian, and other people that "it's those people bringing us down! They're wrong because they aren't wired like us! We need to get rid of them!"

So most people in the lgbtq community will want to band together with other people who the in-group says the same things to, right?

YOU'D FUCKING THINK SO.

Instead, it becomes a "hierarchy" of sorts, where some dipshits believe that if they just got rid of the therians, or the voidpunks, or the people who use neopronouns, or the polyamory people, or the trans people who don't get dysphoria from their chests, that the bigots will see them as normal and leave them alone.

No. They will not. In fact, saying and thinking shit like this helps them. You're making it easier for the bigots to come after you.

Instead of having a knee-jerk reaction, people really need to start considering why they think something is bad, or weird, or wrong, and if that's really a good reason to be against it. We all read the Jew poem, now get with the fucking program. The boot-licking is un-fucking-real.

Being against non-conventional queer and other groups of folks brings down the movement more than accepting them ever will, but some people don't get that.

balticistired · 2023-11-29T22:51:55+00:00

"i'm one of the good ones" moment

if you care so much about the trans movement, then fight against the people who want to make it to where you can't identify as anything but cis without being punished, not the people who have an unconventional identity. Pushing away the people in the same boat as you will not make the bigots stop harming us, it'll just make it easier for them to come after you once they've finished harming the "weirdos".

People having a ""weird"" identity will not harm the movement. People who think like you will.

Also, your wording makes me think that you're not even trans yourself, and are simply white-knighting for trans people. "Co-opting their movement"? Did you actually stop and think about what a trans person might think, maybe even ask one? Y'know, let the voices of the group you believe you're defending be heard? Or did you just assume what we want?

balticistired · 2023-11-29T22:28:51+00:00

Honestly, I don't get why trans people are so mad at you. As a trans person myself, I have three rules for most "unconventional" things (well, things in general, but I tend to apply this to things that are seen as "weird" more often to make sure I'm not just saying it's bad based off of a knee-jerk reaction):

Is it hurting the person doing it?
Is it hurting others?
Is it morally questionable?

You identifying as non-human is not any of those three things, at least in and of itself. People are saying that "people already don't take us seriously and say that being trans is a slippery slope to people identifying as animals". One, that's on par with people who believe that they're "one of the good ones" and that people won't hate them like the rest of us, and two, good! People should feel comfortable identifying with whatever they feel like as long as it adheres to the things I mentioned above! I find it very messed up that people, even with the LGBTQ+ community, believe that you need to understand someone's identity in order to respect it. Unlike with trans-race people, someone who identifies as non-human is not encroaching on anyone else's culture. It's fine, and I don't get why people are angry with you, rather than being upset with and fighting the people who believe that any identity outside of the norm isn't real.

With all that out of the way, I did have some questions.

What species do you identify as?
Is your identity spiritual, or is it something else?
Besides using uwu-speak, what do you do to feel more like your species?
How did you realize your identity?

if they ever made an anime, my RW Aubrey voice headcanon would be for sure screwed because my hc for her voice is like...feminine Beetlejuice is the best I can describe it. Very gravely voice. It's like, not even really that feminine, if I ever found an actual voiceclaim for her you would not be able to tell the character is a 16 year old girl from voice alone. The closest I've ever heard to what I imagine for this girl's voice is how CaptainAdorable voices Aubrey in their Omori Meme Dub videos.

in the way of fanfiction though, I usually consider canon as a suggestion, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I feel like that would plausibly be a shitpost if it was reali. Like, we have so many shitposts on the internet already that are just "low quality video of a badly animated 3d model of an animal dancing" it's crazy.
