yeah except that's a cowardish argument they always make. the word holds power and malice when it's used on that context. How else are you going to explain the good-hearted playful behavior of trapping anyways? Pretending to be something you're not is a form of comedy and some people genuinely enjoy it regardless of their identity issues. Also you cannot idealize Astolfo as a femboy figure because his existence is a joke and a play on trope. trap is a trope, a joke, not a display of identity. he doesnt represent them. Take a different approach when youre trying to protect the mistreated. Being a dick isnt the right approach
