Nier Replicant unhooked something in my brain because having le morally gray trans character be motivated towards hack slash kill blood violence hatred partly from dysphoric rage and long term reactions to discrimination, but also she's the co-protagonist on the player team and the plot doesn't make sense if you don't adore her was the best shit ever

#and now I'm like hm I could make my jrpg rage freak transsexual for emotional thickening instead of just benignly throwing a label at them #like people would insist is the most inoffensive and accurate way to do things #heh #let him speak #nier liveblog #made my own post unrebloggable and need to continue here but for a while the uh. 'wisdom' was that transness or gayness should be #incidental #to good characters #because making a big deal of it was worse and people are just like that with no correllation to personality or life experience #which #fair I suppose in stories that don't want you to feel some kind of agony #but I would confidently say that my personality is what it is partly as a response to adversity and a will towards self determination as a r #so when that's not there in a trans character I'm like why. Why should I care #the only ones I've liked are Kaine from repurikanto and Hana from Tokyo Godfathers lol #*personality is what it is as a result of being transsexual #typed too much got cut off
