Misrepresentation leads to shitty, widely believed stereotypes that are seen as fact by the everyday public but are not at all. Like, for example, the belief that all pit bulls are vicious beasts due to misrepresentation by the media.
No representation just leads to ignorance and the need for education, which many people are open to.
trans person here. I would have much rather never seen that episode of PPG with the unicorn because of how shitty the representation was.
misrepresentation is NOT better than no representation. I would much rather have the whole moffat era of doctor who omitted than suffer thrgouh all his shitty writing and using lgbt as gimmicks. I would rather have the whole of sherlock disappear than have to listen about shitty queer baiting.
Why do
so many Christians know nothing about Jesus.
Smh at these fake Jesus fans
Jesus said that literally if you are rich you WILL NOT get into heaven, because he understood a real fuckin simple fact: the only way to have more than others is to keep it from them, and in a world where people needlessly die of want, to be rich is to kill, it’s a mortal sin. It’s such a simple obvious idea, and people are so so unwilling to accept it
don’t forget that time that he flipped a fucking table full of shitty wears that were scamming people
buddy you are gonna go WILD when i tell you about Japan
Buddy, you are gonna go WILD when I tell you that there’s no need to be a condescending prick just because someone isn’t familiar with every single aspect of another country’s culture
Anonymous asked: Do you really not care for me or your other trans followers so much? You just need to make a trans character so they can identify with them. That's all. It's not hard.
Look, I’m going to ignore the “Making a character everyone can identify with isn’t hard” thing because anyone who HAS written a character knows that’s not true.
But look. I’ve explained myself calmly and rationally and you’re being manipulative. You’re twisting my words and I’m not having that. I have concluded by this exchange that you’re nothing but an entitled, manipulative child. And if you are indeed trans, you really need to take a look at how YOU are representing your community rather than worrying about someone who isn’t out of respect.
I will leave you will one thing: I don’t owe you a trans character, anon. I don’t owe you shit. You’re the only one complaining I don’t have one. So don’t put words in my mouths or the mouths of my other followers.
Dear anon, no disrespect, but, Rosexknight seriously does not own you, or anyone else a character to identify with. They make the characters they want, and others are free to follow and enjoy it, if not, move on and find someone else who produce content you enjoy ^^
If a character is made by the sole purpose of the followers to relate to it, there is a huge change that the character will come of onesided and flat.
We do not usually make characters for the viewers, we make them for ourself, and then show them off to the puplic. You can not ‘order’ the content you want (unless you pay us of course, we like money)
we offer free content, with characters we find interesting. A trans character should, in my opinion not exist on the sole purpose of being trans because, thats not all a person is?
Maybe they will make a trans character, maybe they wont, it is all up to Rosexknight, and whatever they feel enspired to do ^^
This of course, is just my own opinions and I can be wrong about this, and others a bound to dissagree, but that is fine ^^
Omg you are the best and such a sweetheart THANK YOU!!
- Sorry that I missed the mid week Medusa update. I’m not sure what happened, except that I’ve been pretty overwhelmed with work. All of the sudden it was late Weds and I really didn’t even realize it! Hopefully I’ll have uninterrupted updates for you this month!
- If you’re looking for an easy way to support Modest Medusa please consider voting on Top Web Comics. It only takes a second each day and believe it or not it really helps bring new readers.
- I’ve been posting new Ghost Kiss pages for the last two weeks. If you’re a Modest medusa fan (and I mean you probably are, right…) this is where the two series start to connect, so you might want to check it out. The new episode concludes next week, but you can read most of it now.
- I’ll be at the Olympia Comic Festival this Saturday. This is very short notice, but I’m hoping it will be fun. I’ll have new Medusa and Combine stuff, so please come check it out!
- Speaking of Combine, the new issue is now available and awesome! It features 4 new sci-fi comic, including Ghost Kiss by me! The new issue is 80 full color large format pages for just $10. You can buy a copy at the Combine store! Back issue bundles are also available.

Just saying, there is such a thing as terrible Trans representation.
Like take this character for instance. He’s basically one big attempt at a Trans character (Or was marketed as such.) And it was BAD! Like really really bad.
And being able to write a good LGBT is not the same as being able to write a good trans character. There is overlap, but it’s not the same. And you shouldn’t force somebody to create a character when they have a terrible understanding of such things.
Agreed.
LGBT representation is good and all, but not every piece of fiction is going to have every sexuality or identity on the spectrum… That’s not because the writer is anti-LGBT (or whoever they don’t include), they’re just concerned about getting them right, and in a society where people get offended over everything I don’t blame them..
^ This too XD
I mean people will rip you apart for any little thing you do wrong these days so…yeah
