Can we just give Nightshade some love? (WARNING: TRANSPHOBIA, QUEERPHOBIA)

Tw: transphobia, if your going to respond with transphobic comments or any harassment towards me or my trans brothers sisters and all in between, then get the fuck off my page

sooooo awhile ago a new transformers show came out called Transformers: EARTHSPARK. A brand new show with new and old transformers. One of these new transformers is called Nightshade. For those who are not familiar with transformers (which is most of my mutuals probably), Nightshade is a non binary transformer, the first in the franchise to be exact. On many occasions Nightshade introduces themself as “they/them” to everyone they meet (ie optimus, tarantulas, and that one girl), Unfortunately, a few months after the episode aired and right around the time Rise of the beasts came out news outlets such as FOX news and many transformers “fans” had a ton of negative and hateful things to say. If you’re a queer person you probably already know the ding dang deal with their takes. “They're pushing the gay agenda to your kids!” “It’s a robot it shouldn’t have pronouns!” You’ve probably heard these sayings many times before.

now, the issue with nightshade in particular is that every-time I want to look them up on YouTube so I can see stuff like clips and toy reviews, I have to avoid all of the hate videos talking about the “woke mind virus” and then after THAT, I have to avoid all of the hate comments that are seemingly under EVERY SINGLE VIDEO relating to them. The hate for nightshade is so insane, mainly because there is no real fan base to back them up. I find it’s ridiculous and disgusting how so many transformers “fans” (let’s be real, bayformers exclusive fans) are openly against queerness in their community. I, myself am Non binary, and young. In the target demographic for transformers. Whenever I watch earthspark and see Nightshade, I feel seen. Hell pretty much every non binary character I know I can relate to in some way, mostly when they openly talk about being non binary. The biggest example I have is Paintbrush from inanimate insanity, who has an entire moment were they come out to a friend and state their identity to yin yang. As “cringe” as it may look to people to see someone openly saying “I am nonbinary, my pronouns are they/them”, I often don’t have the confidence to say it myself, hell I haven’t told anyone at my high school except for my new friend my pronouns, and I’ve been “openly” nonbinary for years at this point. Seeing other characters in media, no matter how slim the amount or rep is, gives me confidence in myself to state a basic respect to other people. Nightshade makes me feel seen and represented and all I want is more love for nightshade. They have no love and transformers fans need to give them some. In the words of Optimus prime, “freedom and autonomy are the right to all sentient beings”. I can’t believe it’s flies over the heads for so many fans
