How am I supposed to take this person seriously as a transphobe when they don’t even have a twitter blue subscription?

They're losing the culture war that's being fought entirely within their own heads.

Meanwhile I'm sitting here with my partner watching the One Piece Wano arc and we keep laughing at how THE MOST EVIL GUY IN THE WORLD has not misgendered his trans child even one time. Or any of the other trans people him or his gang is actively trying to kill. Nor has anyone in his pirate crew.

The most evil guy in the One Piece world isn't even a transphobe and doesn't have any obvious transphobes in his like 20k member large comically evil pirate crew. That's literally how easy it is to not be transphobic. And yet it's too hard for folks like this.

My headcanon for this is that Kaido is such a misogynist that he's just happy to have a son instead of a daughter

My partner and I have thought similarly, but it's honestly funnier to me and more convenient to my talking point around it if even the most evil guy in the world isn't a transphobe, so that's what I go with.

I cringed hard when okama were introduced, which gradually turned to confusion as a bunch of stuff was perfectly respectful towards their gender identity despite their horrendously caricatured appearances. Still not sure how much of it is Oda's political understanding expanding and how much of it was a point about the fear of trans people.

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 10 points 9 months ago

Yeah same. I think the only transphobic person and/or arc in the whole thing is when Saniji goes to okama Island or whatever but even then he ends up friends and with a clear deep respect for all of them.

I think One Piece isn't perfect but it's significantly more inclusive than most anime. It's probably top 5% or better

[-] Cromalin@hexbear.net 9 points 9 months ago

did you read a different manga? he leaves the island talking about how he was in hell after they tried to forcefem him for 2 years and is so traumatized by it that he has serious life threatening nosebleeds whenever he sees a "real woman" for a while. incredibly transphobic stuff.

honestly i think oda doesn't see any connection between okama and trans people. he supports trans people because he saw them in the news but also he thinks it's very funny when a man wears fishnets and traumatizes people by being so ugly

You are yelling at a balloon sir, are you okay?

[-] CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 9 months ago

The only balloons that are appropriate to yell at are Chinese spy balloons.

One Piece is very popular with Palestinians. I've seen the Straw Hat flag a number of times from the resistance. Makes sense with how the Celestial Dragons behave just like zionists. Kuma's backstory with his father getting shot in front of him for being too loud reminded me of something I saw an IDF soldier do.

[-] axont@hexbear.net 16 points 9 months ago

One Piece seems very popular with young people in general worldwide

The balloons are filled with the woke mind virus suspended in a pink gas that will be released during the parade once Joe Biden gets the command from China

I was feeling bad about myself until seeing this, but at least I haven't rendered myself unable to communicate normally with my algorithmically-weaponized sexual baggage the way these people have.

[-] sweatersocialist@hexbear.net 18 points 9 months ago

this dude approaches walmart workers like "EXCUSE ME WHERE IS THE CHEESE, OR AM I NOT ALLOWED TO CALL IT CHEESE ANYMORE? DOES IT IDENTIFY AS BANANAS? EVERYTHING ELSE IN BIDENS AMERICA IS BANANAS SO IT MIGHT AS WELL! HASHTAG GROOMER!"

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
