(for the first segment some bits are actually copied and pasted from a comment I made on @-Add-Some-Color 's "what I really wanna see in female characters" project, the link will be in the description. . . sorry YouTube talk, Notes and Credits :), now let's get to it) (and no, the image is not that random, I just love it too much to leave it out) ˜”*°•.˜”*°• female representation •°*”˜.•°*”˜ next time I see a female character made into a prize for a male protagonist to go full "toxic masculinity" on the plot I swear I'm going to throw something and the weird thing is, I've rarely ever seen a male in this situation ever in media, and when they do they go "psht, I could have done that myself" or "I DIDN'T NEED SAVING", never have I EVER seen a male protagonist say thank you to a female saving them unless they were nagged for it. . . GEE I WONDER WHY?!??! and by this situation, I mean needing to be saved by a female protagonist I also don't understand why a lot of female characters are all "XD I need get hubby lol :3" and those who don't are always seen as weird. . . and then sometimes when I see a generally masculine or androgynous look on a female (especially in media for older people) everyone always makes lesbian jokes. . . like okay??? apparently a female can't present as masculine/androgynous without being a lesbian? it's also very just. . . stupid jokes that need to be retired. Overall, we just need a female character that isn't afraid to be who she is, and not have people see her as weird for it, or maybe just a few, but have her not care and just. . . be happy with herself. that's a better lesson to send children than "you can be anything!" says the skinny blonde perfect white rich girl. ˜”*°•.˜”*°• trans people •°*”˜.•°*”˜ Now this is a slippery subject, and I think that there is a pretty simple solution JUST MAKE TRANS PEOPLE ACTUALLY IMPORTANT IN YOUR STORY hell, even write something that has a trans character! But don't make it their personality completely (cough cough Marvel New Warriors cOUgH COUGH), make them interesting! and come on, LET THEM TALK ABOUT DYSPHORIA. I am so tired of people half-heartedly making trans characters and writing them, and then their struggles are silenced because it's "not important". it is important, and it makes trans kids feel unimportant. and having a trans character is not "too mature" because you could literally know a trans person without knowing they're trans. I have seen so many people say that exposing kids to trans issues will "make them trans" when no no, it will not yes, kids are impressionable, but that's what YOU the PARENT is for. YOU are supposed to be there to have that conversation with them. to tell them what it REALLY means and teach them to respect it. and I swear if you twist one thing to a child, I will find you and I will teach your child the right way (I'm kidding just tell them what it is without being a coward). ˜”*°•.˜”*°• Asexual/aromantic representation •°*”˜.•°*”˜ now, this is also a strange subject, but still. not every character that doesn't get into a relationship is weird or ugly or unneeded you can have a character that doesn't want a relationship. like I feel like the closest representation of the LGBT+ in Warriors are characters like Stonefur, who didn't want a mate or kits, and we stan an aro-ace icon and it is hard to write a "serious relationship" (as in a relationship a character might need to come out as asexual for uh-) into a kid's show, but still. you can have a character that experiences no romantic attraction, and have them not be a heartless villain. ˜”*°•.˜”*°• Final thoughts •°*”˜.•°*”˜ I know there are some that may be repulsed by these ideas, and honestly I don't care all you are is a person that needs to go back to Kindergarten and learn to be nice again "aahahahhawwhhwh you LbtGs are so pushy with y'all agendas, making everything that isn't you you you into a gay glitter infested trash dump, no representation for you HMPH" well we make trans/LGBT+ headcanons because we don't have much representation of ourselves in normal media well without being misinformation and political propaganda, I guess Now that's really all I want to talk about, and I hope you have a great day, stay safe, and goodbye 's project: audio: I See A Dreamer (unrelated to what I'm talking about, it was just the closest piece of audio I had lol) by C418 image: I have no idea who took it but. . that's Gerard Way (and the little drawing is me but ignore that)
