Heh, foresaw you getting hung up on "liberation"
It's not complicated nor is it this profound thing: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/16007006
It's commisseration, really Can you just let some traumatized autisitic transfems (and others) have that?
No? Yes? Doesnt matter. Thats the point of the video, it's not about you. Thats also part of the point of parody'ing incels (which as an aside: the concept of invcel was originally coined by a woman and was meant to be a supportive, all-gender, friendly place -- before the right co-opted it.
No, i'm posting this for the next tranzqueer who comes along, who might [like I had] be unaware of these things and tend to gravitate to the Narrative of the Johns without reminders that there is so, so much more nuance, and meaning to be found in the world, beyond the limits of what is scripted, shot, edited, produced and published for the target audience composed of Stanleys & Johns.
So thanks for reading. I did not expect you to watch that whole video, but since you did, I hope your life will be enriched by the appreciation that creations, be they AAA titles or shitty memes, dont need to make sense to your perspective in order for them to have great value, both to marginalized audiences who benefit from seeing themselves humanized, but also to the rest, because in order to dehumanize someone else you first demhumanize a tiny part of yourself -- and art can heal that, too.
First off, if you have to identify who you are for your statement, it's a bad statement.
Second, I'm sorry I will not be reading all of that, you communicate through videos. Like a MAGA buffoon, has modern LGBTx standards stooped to mockery. If you can't word your convictions when you have the capacity to word these behemoth ramblings.
Why bother reading it? /JK
I agree with everything in the video and basically all of you ideals. My issue is moreso that you don't have the right to push your experiences on others. Hence why art, is important, be it games, videos, images, anything really. Being trans and and autistic are not disabilities or anything special? Why do you need a handicap when talking. So here's me.
My fiancee is autistic and can't take meds for THEIR ADHD and struggle with gastrointestinal issues they usually entail according to my ex who is AUTISTIC and also talks purely about autism. Both of their roommates since I've met my fiancee have been trans.
Your observation perspective is skewed by your own experience, an internal bias, as is mine. I agree with you.
The issue is regurgitating rather than saying your own story, your own life and your own perspective.
Btw I don't have autism, I just have PTSD and trauma that have given me extremely similar symptoms, a doctor told me that directly. Rape, starvation, and near homelessness for parts of my life.
Language is an art that people take for granted when they had the luxury of education.
If your art must be explained then you have forgotten the necessities and essentials.
Lemmy seems to just be the new 4chan with all the temper tantrum trans, who have to much time online.
Im sorry that happened to you Or im glad for u Aint readin all that tho
