prepare to die
Scene redraw to visually show why this whole episode makes me uncomfortable.
Okay so I get this, but I also don’t. A horse with a cardboard unicorn horn vs a transwoman’s wig being taken off seems like a very distant comparison to me…
I read somewhere that they meant to have this horse wanting to be a unicorn represent a trans woman/gender issues to like teach the issue in an easy to understand way for kids apparently not realizing how ridiculous the way they went about it is. So when you think about the horse as a trans woman and the horn as a wig and buttercup taking the horn off in the way she did…/:
i see it as a comment on how feminization surgery isnt necessary in order to feel like a woman.
theres a difference between gender reassignment, and a softening of the jaw, implants, etc.
Well I, as a trans woman, see it as them telling us that we should accept what we were born as, as opposed to what we actually are.
I can respect that. As someone who is genderfluid, I sort of identify with it. I don’t have gender dysphoria because theres no definition as to what a man or a woman looks like, and it took me a while to come to terms with that. There’s dudes with boobs, and chicks with body hair, and that’s cool. The real man or woman is who I see in the mirror, and I don’t need anything to change that.
That’s fantastic that you’re comfortable enough with your body to not need any modifications but some of us don’t have that luxury which is why when this episode displayed procedures to change your body as some sort of mistake that we just rush into. That’s another reason why it makes me super uncomfortable. The whole episode sends so many wrong messages.
I can understand that, but overall the message seems to be “you are beautiful the way you are and do not require plastic surgery”.
Which is a backwards ass message when discussing trans issue.
This reminds me of that one post that complains that black is associated with dirt or wrong things and it claims this is racist. Human brains are hard-wired to associate BLACK with poison, rot, and unsanitary conditions. It has nothing to do with race. When applying the message to one issue, it can be considered racist. When applying it to another, it makes a lot more sense. I feel like you’re acting as though I’ve attacked you, when I’m just pointing out that it could mean something else.
Except the writers actually confirmed that donny was supposed to represent the trans community.

In addition to shattering old tropes and kick-punching dated ideas, the new “Powerpuff Girls” will also address issues of gender and identity. One upcoming episode in particular touches on ideas of gender identity – a topic open to conversation even in animated shows, thanks to programs such as “Steven Universe,” which explores gender fluidity and rejects established gender norms.
“We did an episode where there’s a unicorn. Basically when it starts out, he’s a pony, but he wants to be a unicorn,” Jennings explained. “He has to go through a transformation to become a unicorn and so it’s a whole [episode that asks], ‘What are you on the inside? What are you on the outside? How do you identify yourself? How do people see you?’ There’s a lot of subtext in that.”
Okay, so it’s about gender dysphoria and genderfluidity, not trans folks.
Do…
Do you even read what you say before posting?
‘you dont act mentally ill!!!’….thats bc i dont trust you….ive been internalizing so much shit when im around you….and right now you gave me another reason not to trust your ass
If you achieve 100% completion of Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi’s Island, you will see this screen, where the number filled in the blank is the number of lives you have lost on that save file, plus one. This might imply that whenever Yoshi loses a life, it’s not the same Yoshi that restarts the level, but a new Yoshi to take the old one’s place.
Congratulations! Your blunders have killed over 100 Yoshis
Maybe this was not a wise idea.
Automated shock collars were part of Zootopia’s original concept.
Looks like Judy dug up a relic of a bygone era.
I”m sorry @thebigt2000 I was planning on animating link hyrule assassin but open toonz is a bitch when it comes to sound.
The fact that I can’t organize my Pintrest board for my wedding into categories is driving me crazy.
I don’t want a million boards for my wedding separated by color, invitation, dress, engagement photo, decoration, etc.
*sigh* I’m gonna have to make a blog aren’t I?
DO IT
Idk what the URL would be.
