A biggo amongst piggos

it is past time we jettisoned the useless false dichotomy of introversion vs. extroversion and just accepted that everybody has a minimum amount of social interaction, failing which, they get really weird. and everybody has a maximum amount of social interaction, exceeding which, they get really weird. these levels are different for everyone, for a variety of reasons, and have no moral dimension. and that is all.

why would you come to this club and just shoot Myers & Briggs like this

they deserved it

have you noticed how there is no acceptable thing for a trans lesbian to be, even within queer and feminist spaces? everything that is applauded as progressive, subversive, and powerful for tme queers to do, transfems are hated for.

you can't be a strong, aggressive woman, you can't speak your mind and be openly feminist, you certainly can't be angry, or the same queers who will praise outspoken tme women will turn around and call you a dangerous man. and god forbid you be a man-hating feminist dyke while butch, any touch of masculinity in your presentation will be further snatched up as proof that you're really a man trying to invade women's spaces.

you can't be sexual, you can't be proud of your body, you can't enjoy women's bodies, you can't be a lesbian who likes being a lesbian, or else the otherwise "sex positive" tme queers will accuse you of fetishizing womanhood, of being a predator, a straight man in disguise. and don't you dare commit the cardinal sin of actually liking having a penis, because everyone knows that penis is the ontologically evil weapon of the enemy!

but then, you can't be femme either. you can't enjoy feminine presentation, you can't want to be small and cutesy, you can't like makeup and spinny skirts, otherwise you're accused of reinforcing patriarchy and gender roles, of making a mockery of women, of wearing stereotypes like a costume. these accusations will all be thrown at you by tme queers who tag transmisogynistic caricatures as "gender goals", and who applaud the "femboy" but only before she comes out, only so long as they can say she's just a progressive role-smashing cis boy.

of course it goes without saying that the conservatives, the cishet men who want us to be their dirty little secrets, their lifeless sex toy, an object of desire and target for violence, of course they hate us. but it's not just the conservatives. no matter how you act, how you present yourself, how you feel and express your relationship to womanhood, to femininity, no matter how meek or outspoken you are, tme queers will criticize and ostracize and attack you for doing the very things they praise each other for.

there is no way to earn a way into their good graces, no way to be progressive or subversive in the "right" way, so long as they view the inherent fact of our transfemininity as too subversive, too perverse, to exist the first place.

WHO KEEPS DOING THIS

Dark Souls is MMA and Monster Hunter is Pro Wrestling.

Dark Souls bosses have insane tracking, and you can adjust your end contact point very freely before a certain point in the animation, your main way of dodging is to use your i-frames, and it actually speaks of a high level, seasoned player when they know which specific attacks can be dodged by just moving or minisprinting and how to do it. Fights are short, you fold in a few hit, but so do 95% of bosses in the franchise. Even in Dark Souls 1, the combat is faster and accounts for this balance entirely, and your main resource to mind is your stamina as your attack and defense all depend on it: If you run out of green bar, you will soon run out of red bad. It's a very straightforward fight, the boss is in the cage with you and you put your fundamentals, entirely based on your rhythm, timing, and management, in a short fight where you either know or don't.

Monster Hunter bosses have bad tracking, just like you, and i-frames are very strict in most cases, you don't mainly rely on your i-frames to dodge, you rely on Not Being There in the first place. Your attacks are committal, but so are the bosses', so if you move just a little, JUST a little, in the right direction, the monster just whiffed their entire bite or swipe. There's a lot of value in attacks that simply Move You, because Not Being There is king, as long as you are Not There, you don't get hit. The same is true for the bosses, sometimes they Aren't There and your roundslash misses, and you are stuck in a big animation. Speed isn't important, knowing where you are, where you'll go, and where you'll be is what skill is in this game, like jumping off the top rope, and it's a real skill. There's no cage in this fight, it's a ring, and the monster can and WILL run backstage now and then. You can pursue them and beat the crap out of them further in the changing room. You are expected to do this. But watch out! Sometimes you get beat up, and now it's you running around backstage, looking for a camp to restock on Power Coating and a meal. You can be fighting Rathalos From FFXIV in a heated brawl, and suddenly you get hit in the back of your head with a steel chair by Great Jagras. Great Jagras then hits Rathalos with the steel chair. It's not a 2v1, this is a 1v1v1, no one likes each other in this fight, because it's Pro Wrestling, you gotta be the champ in the end. It's about big huge flashy cool committal moves. And when you defeat Rathalos, you take his mask, this is what carving represents, it's a sacred process.

Dark Souls is MMA and Monster Hunter is Pro Wrestling. You agree.

all of this is a very good analogy, but I especially love you calling it Rathalos From FFXIV, implying that in FFXIV you're fighting Behemoth From MHW.

? Behemoth is from Mario Sports Mix

Daily reminder: Transphobia actively contributes to sexism. If you don’t fit the beauty standard and are seen as masculine in any way shape or form, you are seen as transgender and as a “problem”

I think it's incredibly important here to not overlook the fact that she is a Black woman. Transphobia, racism, and sexism overlap significantly because of the incredibly eurocentric beauty standards women are judged on.

mutuals i would headbutt but our horns get stuck together in the process and we cant do anything

"doesn't this charater under insane stress going through extremely traumatic events realize how inconvenient their irrational emotional reactions are to the people around them?" well, see, you're not gonna believe this, but the thing is,
