idk, i think having sex with someone stealth and then just being chill when they come out after isn't really chaser shit
i mean, i get not wanting to applaud people too much for fucking trans women. that isn't activism, no matter how fun it is. but as a funny edit of a transphobic comic i'm perfectly cool with it
On its face, sure. But reducing interactions with trans-people to being naked in bed together (particularly when the trans-person is a punchline to a straight white guy's situational comedy joke) is more about fetishizing trans people than being chill. There's much better comedic material to reference.
lmao at a (presumably cis) dude trying to explain to a trans woman what does or does not count as fetishizing trans women
I appreciate the spirit of the poster but sometimes listening is the way to go
This is because the original comic was just actual transphobia, so if youβre going off vibes some yikes elements are going to bleed through. The joke is that the comic is subverted by being no longer transphobic.
TIL. It hadn't even occurred to me.
i definitely get how it reads a lot worse as an original comic rather than a low effort edit of a transphobic one to make it less bad! i still don't think it's chaser shit, and i think it's important to recognize that trans people can be in sexual contexts without it being inherently fetishistic, but the lingering remnants of transphobia from the original do still show, so i'm sympathetic to your pov
Yeah, the original probably has the second panel be the guy shitting himself and dying or something
What passes for "comedy"
I've spent 10 minutes trying to type out a reply where i call out the transphobia of your idea that wanting to have a casual hookup with me must be inherently fetishistic, or that you're cisplaining to trans people what a chaser is (hint: you have zero insight into that subject and it fucking shows). I just can't do this. Go fuck yourself and do some self crit, i'm out of here.
