brave is just a character that fights in name puns
it's a bit of an ominas idea, but if you tried really hard you could probably lehr a thing or two to become a profiteur of edeas and derosa above the rest to become a real victor

Dude. Graizen made post and said to anyone who desagree to look for sources. I just found the source and post. Is this really so bad???

Well, constant targeting and suggesting suicide sort of is a bad thing, if you get my drift.

Honestly I can’t say it looks to transphobic to me. Not being trans myself, I don’t know too much about being trans, so there is probably just something obvious I am missing out on here. (I also didn’t have volume on, so they might’ve said something transphobic...)
The whole stereotype of trans women sleeping with men and somehow "deceiving" them is a harmful one. It's where the gross anime trope of "traps" came from, and it has a history steeped in transphobia. In the end of the trailer, when the girl (idk her name) takes off her panties and shows her genitalia to the mc (I'm assuming) and then we have the horror movie cinematography, the guy's in utter shock, "OMG HE WAS TRICKED, HE'S GAY NOW", that whole shtick. It's obviously meant to imply that she "trapped" him, and tricked him, which is again; a stereotype.

That's fair.
Like I said, I'm sure in context it's probably less bad and just a misconception, but that trailer got me a bit spun up too.

I'm trans (i'm getting more comfortable talking about it now c: ) so I really wanna work on being more perceptive to this kinda thing. Not that I was oblivious before, but I've started noticing things way more when I was in the process of letting myself start to question myself

Ah. Yeah, I didn’t even pick up that that was happening. Yeah, not good. (Wait there was a **** that’s disgusting I didn’t even notice it.)

Well I think you need to chill out with that dounless post! Gottem! /s

Honestly, I don’t think your any of that. Your a good person, and I enjoy seeing your posts. No need to get down on yourself.
The guy's freaking out over Erica having a ****, implying he's regretting his decision to sleep with the girl because of this. The "joke" in here being that the trans girl is trying to mess with him to question his sexuality. They're making light of a personal matter that trans women have to deal with every day.

Erica's a woman. He's a man. Who cares if she has a **** if he likes her? What an a-hole.

But can we not bring up the "It's unfair it's fetishized?"

Everything's fetishized. We're at the point where feet are goddamn fetishized. Straight, gay, bi, trans, lesbian.... doesn't really matter, someone's gonna get their rocks off one way or another.

The other points sure, but "It's unfair it's fetishized" doesn't sit well with me when, literally everything in existence is fetishized in one way or another.

Well damn if this trailer don't look bad, at least to an outsider

It literally looks like the "lol deceptive trans woman slept with man XD XD XD" anime trope thing lmao

Maybe it makes sense in context but when you make a trailer you have to consider how outsiders look at it, and damn this looks transphobic
Yike the protomario comment...

every time I hear an adult using the word "triggered" as a synonym for offended I want to shoot a cannon shell directly at my own head

I mean, even if in context it makes sense (maybe if the guy sleeps with someone with male genitalia he dies or something idfk) it's still transphobic.
It's like if I was making a trailer for a Huck Finn play, and I only include the parts where the slave owners say racial slurs and play it off as funny. Sure that's just the ****ty trailer taking things out of context, and it's not accurate to the play which is deeper then that, but it's still racist and reflects poorly on the product.

If I were to guess it’s because the character is straight. Another factor would have to be religion. I’m not going to go into detail, so I can avoid controversy, but in some religions being trans/gay can be considered a sin, so that is probably the context behind that.

Being straight as a man means you like women. And despite whatever her genitals may be, the character identifies as a woman. So the main character would still be considered a heterosexual

I can never comprehend this thread nowadays. I think I'll write a journal instead.

Actually that's not Erica, Erica's the redhead who quite literally went "Haha you nerd you lost your virginity to me I was actually a man"

Believe me, honey, I know all about that. But liking a trans woman does not make you gay if you're a man. She's a woman.

Honestly, until the March/April direct rolls around, there's nothing really to talk about except making fun of the spam bots at night.


We live a sad existence.
