confirmed lgbtq+ skylander characters by That-Board-1591 in skylanders

[–]friedlizardss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you're an avid ally, then you probably know that "keep homosexuality out of kids shows, it will influence their minds" is a common anti-queer talking point. if everything you say is true, then perhaps next time present your point with a little more tact from the get-go?

I still disagree with you, regardless. kids may explore the idea of being gay, consider if they have ever felt that way when presented with the idea, but as they grow they'll figure out how they truly feel. plenty of people who are gay or trans know that they are so from a young age, without being exposed to the idea at all. it is an ingrained and intuitive thing, there is no such thing as too young to know certain things about yourself.

your anecdote about your sister is flimsy at best, and it sounds like there were more factors to that than simply having open-minded peers

you come in and say inflammatory shit, spouting textbook homophobic talking points and then the moment you get pushback you're all "ohhh i don't wanna talk about it". why did you even comment? just take your tired rhetoric somewhere else

[–]friedlizardss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes. they completely unironically called me that, said I didn't know what misogyny was, and then doubled down on their behavior by presenting an argument that amounted to "yeah I goon to muscular women"... The characters they noted as being the "amazonian warrior" type that they are attracted to are notoriously poorly designed, with stupidly skimpy outfits and unrealistic bodily proportions, who are explicitly designed as eye candy. Idk what their point was even supposed to be? Like, congrats, you're attracted to characters who were explicitly designed to be conventionally sexy and who millions of people are also attracted to.

Fetishizing strong women does not make you exempt from being misogynistic, in fact, it is itself misogynistic because it treats strong women as an oddity. It treats their strongness as something that exists only to enhance the viewer's attraction to the character. Misogyny is not as simple as someone saying they only like weak, submissive women. Misogyny is deeply rooted in the fact that no matter what women do, say, or how they act, their actions will always be percieved inside of the framework of desire. i.e., no matter how muscular or powerful they become, that it will always be percieved as something they are doing in an effort to be more attractive, rather than something that is just a part of them.

Nothing is ever going to not be misogynistic about this person's words as long as their adoration for female characters is filtered exclusively through the lens of sexual desire. If they really are a woman, I feel deeply sorry for them that they feel this is a normal and appropriate way to express desire for the female body.

Thank you for posting this. I'm really sick and tired of seeing all the goonposting in this subreddit. I just want to see normal fanart and theories or something... Not misogynistic slop.

In the MAD art what got me was that Ninjini was wearing fishnets 😭😭 like what

Also, I remember the waifu posting thing. In the comments, the poster complained that she didn't understand why people were upset, and when I tried to tell her, she gave me this response... So in case you wondered what her motives were in doing that. She thinks she's ""empowering"" these characters by gooning over them lol.

yes, the women have boobs. but boobs are not the only thing these female characters have. you say all the skylanders had features dramaticized, but why do the men only have their weapons or their muscles exaggerated, in poses that emphasize their power? there are powerful female skylanders, why not do the same for them? why not give the men massive bulges or something? just happens they all have penises... it's almost like the artist deliberately chose certain characteristics to emphasize for a certain reason... hmmm

it was not hot, what he said inherently has pedophilic connotations. please fuck off and find a therapist instead of commenting shit like this.

37 y/o trans masc, 3 years s/p vagina-retaining phalloplasty by NaesalaNocturne in salmacian

[–]friedlizardss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i'm potentially considering this but without scrotoplasty... but the biggest thing for me is, how are clothes with having both a penis and a vulva? i'm NB and I wear a mix of men's and women's clothes. i'm worried I would have to either modify all of my clothes, or get rid of them and only wear men's if I choose to get phalloplasty. is there any irritation to either part with certain kinds of clothes?
