#maybe you shouldn't have the main characters the ones we're meant to root for constantly misgendering them

Hate it when 90% of a fandom misgenders a canonically trans character because "ThE cHaRaCtErS iN tHe ShOw Do iT tOo!!"
#and the creator is at fault in this as well#why are you writing a canonically trans character constantly being misgendered by the entire rest of the cast#if you're not going to acknowledge that in the story#i know it's not really plot relevant but perhaps then you shouldn't have included it in the first place!#ugh 😩😩😩#I'm salty because the majority of fics on ao3 about my favourite character are calling her a man#when she has explicitly and exclusively referred to herself as a woman in canon#you know if you want to include a trans character in your story#maybe you shouldn't have the main characters the ones we're meant to root for constantly misgendering them#because then your audience will get used to that and use it as an excuse to do it too#i know people are going to say that it doesn't matter because she's fictional#so we're not hurting a real person's feelings#but i feel like that would still cause harm to real people as well#media affects reality whether people like it or not#yes I'm talking about black butler btw#i was trying to keep it vague because I haven't been keeping up with the manga at all#i haven't read it in years#so i don't know if the story addresses this later or if it's fixed now and every character addresses grell correctly#but this is a complaint about the amount of fanfics that do this that i can never read#because i actively flinch every time I see her referred to as 'he'#and come to tell me you're used to calling her a man and you can't change your language because it's habit#because you know what? I was also used to that when I first watched the show#and I made an actual effort to change that#so this goes for real life too of course#you CAN change your language#you're just not trying because you're being an asshole!#fuck i really went on a rant in these tags 😅#I've been wanting to talk about this for months
