      It would have been really cool if Zuko was a girl though. Mostly because I felt Azula was psychotic in a way you normally see girls being portrayed. I don’t have any more reference points, just going off vibes here.

        The lessons are simple, and we learn them well. Men and women are different, absolute opposites.
        The heroic prince can never be confused with Cinderella, or Snow-white, or Sleeping Beauty. She could never do what he does at all, let alone better.
        Men and women are different, absolute opposites.The good father can never be confused with the bad mother. Their qualities are different, polar.

        Where he is erect, she is supine. Where he is awake, she is asleep. Where he is active, she is passive. Where she is erect, or awake, or active, she is evil and must be destroyed.
        It is, structurally at least, that simple.
        She is desirable in her beauty, passivity, and victimization. She is desirable because she is beautiful,passive, and victimized.

        Her other persona, the evil mother, is repulsive in her cruelty. She is repulsive and she must be destroyed. She is the female protagonist, the nonmale source of power which must be defeated, obliterated, before male power can fully flower. She is repulsive because she is evil. She is evil because she acts.
        She, the evil persona, is a cannibal. Cannibalism is repulsive. She is devouring and magical. She is devouring and the male must not be devoured.

        There are two definitions of woman. There is the good woman. She is a victim. There is the bad woman. She must be destroyed. The good woman must be possessed. The bad woman must be killed, or punished. Both must be nullified.
        The bad woman must be punished, and if she is punished enough, she will become good. To be punished enough is to be destroyed. There is the good woman. She is the victim. The posture of victimization, the passivity of the victim demands abuse.

    i haven’t really been following this thing and this is tangential but f*id is a slur and i immediately distrust anyone who uses incel language for any reason

    (i also distrust anyone who still engages with harry potter for any reason)

      seriously though this kinda shit really bothers me

      the language used by people who have committed monstrous hate crimes is just passed off as a joke, and even leftist spaces often just let that happen without pushback because misogyny still isn’t seen as a real issue.

      i unfollow and block people over this thing, again primarily because of the use of the slur, and i often feel alone in this conviction

        I don’t necessarially diagree with this take, but it could also be a chance to educate people who don’t know better. I didn’t know that word was a slur.

        cw: non-inclusive language that I was corrected on

        I recently had someone tell me that “trans-person” was the wrong way to phrase it, because it implies that it’s a new thing separate from a “person”. The correct way to phrase it would be “trans person”, because it’s an adjective to the existing “person”.

      If its somone IRL you might approach them and see if they know about JK. Its amazing how hard the algo keeps this shit only in queer spaces online. I’ve had trans people not know about it.

      Honestly the amount of times we’ve joked about JK and then someone who isn’t around as much goes “wait what did JK do?”. Then watch the horror creep into their eyes as we all start to rattle shit off.

    I think there’s some kind of only Nixon could go to China thing going on here. The transphobia stink is so deep on Harry Potter that chuds feel safe doing rule 63 fanfic and fanart about it, something that they would call cringe and [slur redacted] in any other context.

      The entire right wing femboy discourse is an excuse to be horny about trans women while misgendering them, they are perfectly fine with anything in that direction as long as it stays purely fetishistic and objectifying and on the strict condition that nobody ever calls herself trans. Malfoid isn’t anything new on any level, and that does not only include the fact that rule 63 Malfoy has been a thing since way before people realized what a piece of shit JKR is, it also includes the fascist chaser shit and the denial.

    The whole Malf-id thing reminds me of the (IIRC) HMFA tag on AO3.

    It’s short for “human male, female anthro,” and it’s to furry what Malf-id is to Harry Potter: channers colonizing a largely LGBTQ fandom they spent decades attacking as “d-generate” and injecting the most aggressively cishet bland self-insert stories imaginable using every dull anime and mainstream porn trope in existence.

    I read one of these not realizing the tag’s origins and was blindsided by the second-person narrator casually dropping a line about

    CW: racism

    “white people can’t handle spicy food” jokes being “a result of jealousy by inferior races.”
