Maybe shitty take on characters being trans:
Samus isn't trans, or at least, I'd like to think she's cis?
Samus as a character is overflowing with masculine traits, the fact she's female was supposed to be a trope-flip. I feel making her trans weakens that. It becomes a trans woman who can't let go of learn male signalling or similar and I really hate that.
Maybe shitty take on characters being trans:
@Draekos Counterpoint: A great deal of [negative] trans stereotypes are rooted in being unable to cope with desired traits or interests that're typically masculine coded.
Maybe shitty take on characters being trans:
@IrisKalmia Countercounterpoint: "This character you thought was a dude this whole time is a girl" being trans is a WIDE OPEN DOOR for identity denial and I really fucking hate that.
@Draekos @IrisKalmia trans women are women.
@Fuego @IrisKalmia yes. As one, I know.
I still have mixed feelings about trans-identifying certain characters and Samus explicitly is best as a cis woman, In my eyes.
@Draekos @Fuego I feel I'd expanded fairly well I why I feel it's kinda a lackluster take from you, but it's not one I really have the energy to carry much further forward on without tapping into ugly reserves.
