Specifically about the trans girl in persona 3. She has a very short moment in it. And the new trans not trans girl from the new JoJos. Me "this is bad trans representation" my ex friend: well he's not even trans, he's just a man who dressed up like a woman to prey on children.
ohhh yeah. that really transphobic bit sucks and it brings my enjoyment of the whole game down. like the similar (but worse!) bit in the cowboy bebop movie. at least dragona in jojo's isn't as bad as that, but that's a low bar. dragona is just like "ohhh this cishet guy is just getting injections to give themself boobs and help them pass as a woman because they like it in a normal cisgender way! and they get assaulted by a cop in an explicitly transphobic way, but that doesn't make them trans!"
Right. And this ex friend just sides with the dominant narrative on those rather than listen to my lived experiences as a trans woman.
Idk sometimes I think the lack of media literacy is on purpose to help make them not have to question their preconceived biases.
yeah, if a cis person doesn't realize it's transphobic before it's pointed out that's sus, but i can maybe accept that they just never thought about it. but if they try and argue with a trans person about it, it has to be willful ignorance
It wasn't her bad beliefs that made me stop being her friend. It was definitely that fighting and arguing that did it.
