Imagine some white kid in california is trying to convince everyone the movie godzilla is offensive to japanese people.
Nor what if a japanese person comes along and tells the kid to shut up because it’s not offensive.
Logically, the kid should listen to the japanese person and listen to the voice of the people they’re “trying to protect” but instead the kid argues not only with the japanese person but a lot more japanese people who tell the kid it’s not offensive.
That is basically what was happening.
A few people who weren’t trans were trying to tell the trans community what is and isn’t offensive to trans people and when real trans people tried to tell them to stop, they argued. they argued with the people who they were “speaking for”
That is why I am super pissed. Don’t tell me what I should be angry at and don’t tell me I should find something offensive. me and other trans people can speak for ourselves, we DID speak for ourselves and they ignored it.
If you aren’t trans, don’t say what is and isn’t offensive to trans people. Don’t tell me what I should and shouldn’t be offended by. Don’t speak on my behalf, I can speak for myself.
The same could be said for trans people who didn’t find the episode offensive. I’ve gotten told nasty things because I said as a trans person i thought everyone’s reactions were over the top. Other trans people have told me that i should be offended.
“If you aren’t trans, don’t say what is and isn’t offensive to trans people.”
Well let me tell you the reason why I made the post. There were this person who was insisting that a male character in a dress is offensive to the trans community. They were tryuing to convince everyone that. they were arguing not only with me, but many other trans people. The thing was, they weren’t trans and they were trying to tell me, my friends and the rest of the trans community what we should be offended by while at the same time actively arguing with us when we say it’s not offensive.
fuck this shit how am i gonna beat up people for pokemon now
as much as I wanted this game to happen, I can’t help but agree with a lot of their reasons
it’s really such a shame; hopefully once they retool where pokemon can appear they’ll re-announce it and make it better
At least they’re still going to use the augmented reality tech for Mario and zelda. Still a shame that they are scrapping one game in favour of their more popular franchises. That’s the same kind of thing that lead to stairfax temperatures.
