Well for one I'm not trans, or even gay. I just like good interesting stories about people dealing with life however best they can, and don't really care about genre or gender or sexual preferences of characters as long as the stories are interesting. So I don't usually have that issue. At least not to the level that I feel the need to be so hateful towards a group because they have a different interpretation of a story than I do.You're generalizing here. And maybe it seems that way for good reason no? I see this type of discussion almost everywhere with almost every crossdresser and femboy. Be it on here or twitter.
Nobody here is angry. We are just tired of the same ol' discussion.
Let's flip this, you have trans characters but a lot of the discussion is how they might be femboys or they may detransition later and it's like that for a good amount of trans characters.
That'd be really annoying wouldn't it? To have characters you see yourselves in being questioned if they are the things you like about them. You start feeling like you're invalid in the eyes of these people no?
This is like, some weird shipping wars drama, like when a same-sex coupling vs. a opposite sex coupling using one of the same characters drives tons of hateful comments. And people on both sides are just being unreasonable and hateful about the whole thing. I can absolutely see how if I was a crossdresser and every manga I read had people saying they were trans how it could be frustrating. But I read quite a few of them, and I think you're honestly just having selective memory because as an outside observer from what I've seen it really doesn't come up all that often from what I can tell. But for some people it seems to happen every time, so they feel a need to defend their crossdressers every single time.
But from my perspective, this is one of the few times I've seen it discussed so much, and unlike most stories where I could see it not making sense, there is enough here to make it a viable thing to discuss. But still the backlash is so strong and hateful. Like, straight up some of the comments are outright just vile and hateful. Not: "I disagree with your interpretation, and you kinda suck", but like "I hate everything about you, you're disgusting, everything you're saying is disgusting and you should die" kinda comments. Like, its' really freaking weird and disappointing to see this side of this community.
