We will assume that it is and claim GitS as a Trans Thingβ„’!!!

iirc the guy behind the manga is a weird rightwing shithead but who gives a shit, the major is so trans it's incredible

Now we absolutely have to claim it as a Trans Thing, yes!! It's hard to argue against tbh.

the major is trans as hell, i love her. the transbian rep we deserve (if you ignore how much of a cop she is)

...can I critically support a cool transbian cop? acab tho.........

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

the central bit of ghost in the shell is that the major (and to a lesser extent all the non-togusa members of section nine) has made the bargain that in exchange for having an idealized body that body is the property of the government and she cannot escape being a tool of the state, which is a really interesting tension. though like, obviously still a cop even if she's trapped as such on pain of the government confiscating her entire body

Hey i thought about this comment again and went online to check, couldn't find much on the guy. I've started reading the manga recently, and his politics are certainly strange. Do you have any good sources or analysis on the political angle of the manga and author, his more personal beliefs?

GitS has always been a strange beast to me. The manga, the movies, the animes, all have different vibes and interpretations of the setting, and the political leanings vary quite a lot.

sorry i don't have more lmao, this is half remembered hearsay i probably read on a discord server 5 years ago. it probably mostly came from the manga and also other manga he's done. appleseed and dominion tank police and such

and yeah the vibes shift dramatically from entry to entry, everyone who comes to it approaches it pretty differently
