I shouldn’t have to explain this but apparently i have to cause tumblr likes being tumblr

Naotos desire to be a man doesn’t stem from internalized transphobia it stems from her desire to be taken seriously in a male dominated workspace and none of this is my interpretation this is information the game literally gives us ourselves

And saying that she is “struggling with internalized transphobia” because a trans person can “see it” doesn’t mean it automatically becomes canon

Now does this mean trans people can’t relate to any of naotos struggles no of course not in fact it’s understandable for trans people to relate to her struggles however disregarding the entire reasons why she wanted to become a man and the point her arc was trying to make in place of the headcanon you project onto her character is frustrating

Kamen goes into this subject better than I can

seeing trans naoto discourse on twitter has made me realise how many cis persona fans are just oblivious because they’ll say he’s a woman under the guise of ‘he says it in the game’ and say that people calling him trans haven’t played the game but literally every trans person can see that he is struggling with a LOT of internalised transphobia. and sure maybe that wasn’t the writer’s intentions with him but thats how a lot of us see him because we’ve been through it ourselves. we see ourselves in this character and maybe it’s just ignorance on a lot of cis people’s part (which i can’t exactly blame them for) but some people get so horribly transphobic about it and its unnecessary

Why do people claim ur art is theirs? And can u make more chubby fug pls?

I have 2k followers here and on insta, 24k on twt, it's inevitable. ig the shit is good and then it just happens automatically, mfs repost your shit, trace it, sell it, I entirely gave up on giving a fuck and just focus on making more art

I have. a very faint hunch who you are. just a smidgen. and if I'm right I think the attempts get ridiculous, but still not YET enough for me to block bc I wanna see where this goes.

call me paranoid but I feel like over the years online (including multiple cyberstalking incidents) I developed a sense for figuring out who someone is out of the "energy+quirks" how they type once I've observed it a few times. so even if alt/anon accs are used, I can catch it.

I don't wanna come at you too strongly but that is... how do I say it as kindly as possible...

a lowkey stupid thing to ask.

just lowkey.

very low🤏🏻

bc I mean. why do people steal art

...not like that is THE most common event for any artist ever online since the birth of the internet. the least surprising thing you can encounter.

without also sounding narcissistic... open your eyes. take one look at my art. it is at the very least mediocre. it gets a good amount of attention for SOME reason even if it was objectively garbage so people still like it enough to give it the time of day and anything that gets any attention is bound to be stolen.

I do not know why people do that. I don't steal art, never have. have you? I believe you have. if I'm not mistaken. so why did you claim my art?¹ hmm?

but by using logic we can surmise that people most likely want attention and praise without doing anything of their own and get their 3 minutes of the lil meaningless digital hearts popping on the screen.

I apologize for unloading this on you rn I just think it's a nice opportunity to talk about it bc I am... BAFFLED.

you do not wanna know what is happening in my ask box. idk if that is normal. but wow.

yk some questions are just................ can you not answer that yourself? genuinely?

by this point when I read any question that starts with "why..." I know I am in for some dumb Captain Obvious shit.

a question I get a lot for example is "why do you draw Flug fat"

ok now sit down for a second please, stay with me on this one.

let's use our brain meats.

what could possibly be the answer here?

I'll break the magician's code

...it is PROBABLY because............... the artist likes it.

shockingly. they just want to draw that shit.

there's no deeper reason idk what in tarnation you expect here.

"good question actually I absolutely hate drawing this shit in reality I am forced to make this art at gunpoint or they'll waterboard my cat in the toilet bowl and sell my first born to the mafia please send help"

...guys I need to confess something to you...

I was diagnosed with terminal yaoi brain cancer and the only way to prolong my life is to draw fat Flug. the secret is out. there you have it.

like what do you wanna hear

no writer or artist is gonna unpack a complex life-changing sob story for you Why they draw their fav character in assless chaps all the time. it is almost always "because I like it." or "because I look/behave like that."

why do you wonder about that in the first place.

are you judging? why so? if you don't like certain content... you can ignore it.

trust me that if you don't understand or enjoy it, someone else's explanation why they do won't fundamentally change anything in you.

and it doesn't end there. this goes on.

"why do you draw paperhat so much?" "why do you draw Flug pregnant?" "why do you draw Flug trans?"

and not just once. no no. asks like this sit in my inbox en mass.

I already don't answer most of them and don't plan to but the phenomenon will never not fascinate me.

how young are you mfs????? bc my account is monitored. I don't say which age to prevent people from lying. people have lied to me so damn often in the past, I found that it decreases drastically when there is no big taboo sign that says "*AGE*+ ONLY" I just silently check and block.

bc pointless "why..." questions usually come from younger individuals in my experience.

¹= you type just like user who traced my art and spammed me and as far as I was informed now they're very young which checks out with this ask as I just mentioned

I'll draw more fat Flug either way don't worry but I decided this won't be about this rn I just wanted to complain. I'm in Complaining Mood™ so we're gonna complain. it's complaining time o'clock up in dis bitch, baby
