if you’re a white creator and your brown/black characters are always sassy, reckless, aggressive or cold and your white characters are always soft, demure, shy and introverted you should think about maybe why you did that

"why can't they just be friends" not in the homophobic way but in the "their platonic relationship in the source material is far more dynamic and complex than the sanitized personalities they gain as a result of shipping" way

me: So then we take the liquified wood pulp, and dry it again, into these thin sheets. caveman: [confused, but trying to keep up] uh huh. me: And we take the graphite stick - it doesn't need to be wrapped in wood like this, but we like making them this way so you don't get graphite on your hands. And that's what we draw with. caveman: [eyes lighting up] Oohhh so you use the wood pulp sheets to paint on them, like hides? me: Exactly! And now, you could use this method to draw anything you can visualise with your mind's eye, but for the sake of this demonstration, let's draw a vision of a woman with features of an animal whose powers and traits she represents, and a figure that is stylised and exaggerated beyond what nature really allows. caveman: As wide as she is tall, with tits to match? me: Exactly. caveman: This is the only sensible use of this technology.

i really hate this line of thinking where suggesting someone who plays with gender might be trans is in some way "enforcing gender roles." no. enforcing gender roles on a man who seems to love playing with femininity would be to beat him up and call him a faggot for daring. how is saying "this person might want to be a woman" enforcing gender roles. how is suggesting to them the option of transitioning enforcing gender rolls. how is it anything less than giving them permission to completely move away from what they were coercively assigned at birth, if they want to. how is any of this gender enforcement.
