i hope he’s changed! and i’m glad people being shitty to trans women using femboys as a cudgel no longer have such a high profile tool to use! but i need people to understand this

    Idk I’m genderfluid and bisexual too so looking like F1nn5ter is kinda goals for me, I get why people don’t like them but I do. I think their relationship with Icky is also really cute.

      I’m worried I’ve just had my brain melted from years of seeing transphobic and queerphobic people and transmedicalists online, but I’m scared that there’s an undercurrent of “being gender-fluid (or hell, a femboy) is Wrong” to these criticisms even though I know there probably isn’t. I’m not even a fan of finnster or whoever (in fact they kind of give me pick-me bigot queer vibes) I just read bad vibes everywhere even when there isn’t any.

        i understand but i don’t see anything that makes me think there is, its about him purposefully playing to the bigoted side of the femboy culture for views. He was being transphobic and he should be bonked for such.

        i can definitely see that. i think this rhetoric could easily shift into that but i personally feel it’s stayed on the right side of that line (though obviously i am one of the chief people talking about how f1nn5ter is bad so if anyone thinks i’m on the wrong side of it please let me know) because everything i see has been talking about the specific ways his content has caused harm, mostly with specific examples of people it has harmed

        but as i said if you have concerns about transmed rhetoric on c/traaaa please report it and we’ll do our best to deal with it, even if it’s from a mod. we try to have a zero tolerance policy about that shit
