    The thing that pisses me off endlessly about this is that they act like they’re mad about the concept of pronouns, which makes them look like childish morons, but what they’re actually angry about is the idea that someone has a say over how others are to refer to them. Just say that!

      I think they’re just mad trans people exist, and pronoun selection reminds them of that.

      It fits with their bullshit about wanting non-political games. Their politics are fueled by hatred, and it infects their escapist treats to be reminded of the mere existence of minorities and trans people.

        Take this further, many of them probably wouldn’t think of trans people as real people if it wasn’t for their representation in media. That’s why they take the fight to the treat factory.

          Chuds with an unfortunately wide overlap with weebs (chanlords, mostly) are obsessed with what they call (CW: transphobic weeb word)

          spoiler

          “futas”

          in their hentai treats yet at the same time seem to violently hate actual living trans people. It’s as confusing to me as their obsession with anime characters with vibrantly colored hair while also violently hating living women that dye their hair.

            Right, and those dehumanizing portrayals are challenged by nuanced and positive portrayals in media which is why the chud brain must reject any representation. Honestly, media in general plays such a huge role in shaping social attitudes towards a less visible minority group such as trans people. I’m glad Hexbear anti-treat thought guides us to a dialectical understanding of this issue theory-gary
