Well, I Guess You Didn't Have Much Of A Choice Either

I shouldn’t have to explain this but apparently i have to cause tumblr likes being tumblr

Naotos desire to be a man doesn’t stem from internalized transphobia it stems from her desire to be taken seriously in a male dominated workspace and none of this is my interpretation this is information the game literally gives us ourselves

And saying that she is “struggling with internalized transphobia” because a trans person can “see it” doesn’t mean it automatically becomes canon

Now does this mean trans people can’t relate to any of naotos struggles no of course not in fact it’s understandable for trans people to relate to her struggles however disregarding the entire reasons why she wanted to become a man and the point her arc was trying to make in place of the headcanon you project onto her character is frustrating

Kamen goes into this subject better than I can

seeing trans naoto discourse on twitter has made me realise how many cis persona fans are just oblivious because they’ll say he’s a woman under the guise of ‘he says it in the game’ and say that people calling him trans haven’t played the game but literally every trans person can see that he is struggling with a LOT of internalised transphobia. and sure maybe that wasn’t the writer’s intentions with him but thats how a lot of us see him because we’ve been through it ourselves. we see ourselves in this character and maybe it’s just ignorance on a lot of cis people’s part (which i can’t exactly blame them for) but some people get so horribly transphobic about it and its unnecessary

This is the anon who asked and I just wanted to say that I think it’s cool that you and the others in the count down community are willing to take shots at yourself and let other people take shots( that aren’t meant to be malicious) really shows that you and the others have a good sense of humor

I have a question what’s with some of the light jabs at rabbitluigi in some of your videos

I know you’re not doing it to be malicious I’m just curious

I just think they're funny. You're right; I'm not trying to belittle the dude, I just see an opportunity for a joke and I take it. I try to even it out with jokes on other content creators and myself.

Sigh I feel I need to step in for Kamen on this one (dude deals with too much hate on the daily so I’m trying to help him out)

He is clearly delusional. Nothing about him stands out, and he reminds me why he should have existed 10 years ago, so I don't care about Americans like him.

Geez what did we ever do to you

He’s clearly obsessed with things I heavily dislike. He’s a mainstream consumer, by the way. He talks about morally gray characters,

The morally grey video was about characters many fans liked to claim were “morally grey” did you actually watch his videos or did you look at the title and whine at it

literacy, tokusatsu,

Tokusatsu? Mainstream? In America? Oh brother have you Been living under a rock or something

and mostly Yu-Gi-Oh! videos. But here’s the catch: his Yu-Gi-Oh! videos show how unaware and clueless he is. He claims Seto Kaiba is great but mocks Jack Atlas.

If you actually watched his videos you’d know that jack atlas is his favorite rival Kamen just has issues with how season 2 handled aspects of his character

His recent videos are just about Gen 1 Yu-Gi-Oh! games on Duel Monsters.

Remind me how many games gx and 5ds have that aren’t tag force or just dueling as a video game

He never talks negatively about his fans

Why is this a problem?!

or tries to be constructive. He goes on and on about the amazing digital circus being different,

The show is an existential horror about people trapped in a video game that’s a pretty unique premise in of itself

but that show is still ongoing and doesn’t need to be analyzed so much.

Discussing doesn’t mean analyzing nimrod

I guess he’s just too caught up in his own ego.

Look who’s talking

Sometimes, he comes off as pretty stupid in his videos.

What I hate the most about him is how he keeps milking that Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance nonsense

So no ones allowed to talk about things he finds interesting sweet

while mocking 5D's and calling it weak.

Let me tell you something: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is just a staple for Americans

Metal gear is made by Japanese developers

to enjoy mindless hours of video games rather than being engaged with real content. The game isn't great, and its story is shallow.

Yes it is truly a shallow story with no depth or substance indeed

Honestly you’re just hating for the sake of hating

You’re only points of contention are built entirely on assumptions that could be dismissed by actually watch the videos you “criticized”

But no you make yourself look like a bigger idiot by building the biggest strawman I can imagine

For homework

Here’s a list of his videos you clearly never bothered watching

Have fun

Why do you dislike MangaKamen so much and why?

This picture of Homer Simpsons getting punched is one example of my hate for that doucebag.

He is pathetic!

I just hope the success of Sonic 3 and Sonic x shadow generations leads sega to change their policies on writing shadow

My guy really deserves the ian Flynn treatment in the comics and I know he’s more than willing to give it to him

“It’ll be interesting seeing all the people joining Sonic Frontiers experiencing Ian Flynn’s writing and experiencing the people who think he can do no wrong.” Ian Flynn’s the best writer Sonic has had officially in a long goddamn time and it drives me nuts how people have this ridiculous hate boner against him for things that are 90% decisions that someone above him forced onto him (Archie Editorial and now SEGA themselves) and 10% things he himself admits he failed at as if he’s someone with Penders’ level of ego.

Seeing this post by Shady doorags really reminds me of an issue I have with the persona 2 fandom and it’s view of Jun

Jun is a very well written character in his own right but i can’t stand that he’s only known for being the gay romance option because he’s an interesting character in his own right and i feel this just reduces that

Sorry for listening to me ramble

(Any buzzwords in my inbox for this are gonna get nuked i don’t wanna deal with tumblr being tumblr)

You know looking back the komahina fandom really overreacted to chiaki in Danganronpa 3

There were people saying they were robbed of komahina closure for heteronormative slop in a PREQUEL!

And I’ve heard some saying that chiaki in that series was like Bella swan I mean chiaki’s writting on dr3 isn’t perfect but seriously Bella swan that’s over exaggerating if you ask me

Hopefully the fandom has moved on from that level of overreaction and will now look at things more rationally right?

Right?

blowin off steam after work

So part of the “Joshscorcher was grooming ink rose” narrative also came from a YouTuber called essence of thought who made a video on Lily orchard and her trying to ship Josh and ink rose together

You can watch the video here

However I want focus what she has to say about Josh and Ink rose because her evidence for Josh actually grooming ink rose is that Josh’s role playing oc firebrand dated ink rose’s role playing oc and when Josh himself married Ari his oc got married to her oc so that means Josh must have actually dated ink rose in real life

Okay so show of hands if you agree that this line of logic is f@cking stupid

I really love these two X3 I've always liked Starfire from the 80s more than the rest. It is much more unique and extraordinary than the way it is being painted now. At least she had her own unique style of dress. She looked very stylish!

Discowing looks too absurd not to like him. He's so bad that he's good!
