u kno i think ive figured out why the constant infantilization and misgendering of felix from the fandom really irks me, besides just my own personal feelings of relating to him. bc like up until now ive had the attitude of "the way fandom (and even canon to some degree) talks abt felix causes me incredible personal discomfort and is kind of triggering to a degree that makes me avoid the tags due to the similarities it has with the real oppression i face, but hes not even canon trans, so its hard to claim that its real transphobia, and while it sucks i have to avoid tags and be selective abt who i follow back in the fandom, at the end of the day hes not real and he cant be harmed by misgendering and infantilization, and all i can do is avoid tags and direct fandom interaction and maybe complain once in a while on my blog"

and i still take that attitude in the sense that i cant rly control what other ppl do (nor do i want to) and at the end of the day he is a fictional character and not canon trans. but ive been archiving tweets from the last legacy twitter, (because i am always a slut for preservation) and i was reminded of the.. incredibly transphobic "mpreg felix" "jokes" that the original LL writers used to make on the LL social medias. and it made me realize. felix is very heavily trans coded. to a degree that i think its entirely plausible that the only reason he *isnt* canonically trans is because the LL team realized that if felix was canonically trans, it would open them up to criticism of the way hes handled as representation, and that the constant infantilization and jokey misgendering towards a canon trans character would be a Bad Look as they say. so they opted to make his (good) dad canon trans instead. but they left all the trans coding in, and all the infantilization and jokey misgendering, and i guess lacked the self awareness required to realize that transphobic jokes dont suddenly stop being transphobic when theyre targeted at cis men. so they still went ahead and made mpreg jokes about him on the social medias. and of course the fandom does it too because the canon encourages it, and because hes not canon trans nobody bothers to examine it

idk where im going with this post. i just felt the need to talk about it because it leaves a bad taste in my mouth
