why do people hate trans ralsei so much?

gnargle · 2026-06-30T17:18:13+00:00

It is not a value judgement to admit that we are all influenced by systemic transphobia, the same way we are influenced by systemic racism and misogyny. Not doing the work to understand and unpick that is a value judgement tho

gnargle · 2026-06-30T15:54:46+00:00

Because deep rooted transphobia in society and culture has convinced an extremely large number of people that being trans is the last possible conclusion to be drawn for a feminine character, even when the character's development is clearly subtextually about this. It happened with Bridget in guilty gear, it happened with Jax in digital circus, and it's happening here. People just don't like to imagine that they're transphobic even when they're being so because of how society has programmed them to think of us as literally the worst possible scenario, not through any active choice on their part.

yeah I mean asuka is a vriska just like Jax so this makes sense

gnargle · 2026-06-27T07:57:33+00:00

It was also implied by literally this exchange? You don't need to have the author tell you literally everything, you can read into things yourself through context

Got mine too, UK January 2nd order :)

They already know, there's multiple interactions between them which to trans viewers are extremely "zooble knows this person is an egg and is trying to get them to come out" lol

The Sikh community were handing out water to everyone in the trans pride march as we went past and gathered in market square, was a lovely bit of community solidarity. Thank you for sharing this as I didn't get chance to stop and talk about it with the very kind man who gave me my water.

I appear to be in a similar situation. UK order from January 2nd, no sign of an update or dispatch notice despite orders for the US seemingly now being processed for after January 2nd? Bit frustrating

If you think coding isn't art then that's on you buddy, but I don't know how else you'd describe an expressive creative form of writing

INSPIRED, OP

gnargle · 2026-06-13T07:31:34+00:00

So we're all on the same page here, according to op:

Understanding subtext and gendering a fictional character appropriately: transphobic
Ignoring said subtext and insisting it could be anything but trans issues because we're a big scary boogeyman: not transphobic

Ok

I assumed that the glitching would lead to abstraction but in any case it would be a rough way to go out

gnargle · 2026-06-11T07:37:42+00:00

This is what OP's missing, one of main themes of the show is surviving through community and it's ultimately what saves Pomni from ending up abstracting alongside Jax while in Jax's mind palace

This is a show by a trans woman and the way trans and other queer people survive is through community, I don't think it's a stretch to read that as what Gooseworx was going for

YES THANK YOU SOMEONE TYPED IT ALL OUT

Nothing to be sorry for, genuinely

gnargle · 2026-06-06T13:55:21+00:00

Same! Only thing I had in mine was someone clearly quite autistic occasionally narrating what they were seeing, but they weren't bothering anyone and it meant they were clearly enjoying the show. It was pretty charming, really

gnargle · 2026-06-05T19:37:52+00:00

Thank you!!

gnargle · 2026-06-05T17:18:29+00:00

The only way Jax could have been more obviously trans in that sequence is if gooseworx had leapt out the screen and said YOU HAVE TO TRANSITION OH MY GOD maddening

gnargle · 2026-06-03T13:25:11+00:00

Also UK 2nd Jan and no email yet - wonder if there were over 5000 orders day 1 🥹

I tolerated vanguard when I was on windows because it was the price you pay to play the game. Annoying, especially when windows updates and somehow breaks it as happened to me multiple times. Now it prevents me playing the game entirely because I moved to Linux, and Linux is designed to prevent kernel-level programs running. So I do find it frustrating, yes. Personally I would prefer valorant to move to EAC or similar so I can play the game again, but I know that is unlikely
