i remember some tfp fans were really mad when people drew tfp starscream super feminine and stuff and it's like, find something else to get mad about. in a fandom where a lot of the male characters are literally feminized by fandom or just flat out seen as women then why was it just a problem to y'all when it was HIM who went thru it.

#yall don't get mad when people unironically call tfp megatron (or any megatron) wife or whatever or make him femme #and in tfp he's already big hipped and thighed so y'all don't actually have to try that hard #i just think there's a lot of people who tend to project onto startscream so hard #and they have some weird ick. with femininity #and whenever they see him being portrayed as femme it makes them uncomfortable #because it goes against how they feel about themselves #i have never seen any other characters get flack for being portrayed as overly feminine by the fandom- and I'm saying all characters #but with starscream #ever month or so i do see people getting upset #and trying to tie it back to something werid #when literally every other character gets the femme beam #any like if u personally have an issue with femininity #fine #but damn don't project that on anyone else #anyway #as a femme genderfluid person #and coming from a community where my feminity was denied #i really loved seeing feminine portrayals of rstarscream #and then #when i saw people really trying to make it this big thing #and portray it as negative #it really hurt me #and it's like on one hand people can say stuff like heterenormativity #but then this wouldn't even be related to shipping or whatever #and other characters again were given the femme beam #it's just #people had an issue with starscream getting it #and didn't think for a second that maybe a lot of transfems and other femme queer folks may see ourselves in him #idk idk didk #it was just crazy to me
