Quinnfernal
here's a character dynamic I wanna see some day:
Quinnfernal
a standard hot-blooded shonen hero guy,
Quinnfernal
and a Useless Shonen Battle Manga Girl who's a trans girl
Quinnfernal
let a trans girl stand to the side of the battle clasping her hands and saying "heroname-kun..." then get captured by the villain
Quinnfernal
while some dumbass with a sword is completely in love with her
Snake-Kun
more LGBT schlock?
Quinnfernal
always
Quinnfernal
part of me says to make the hero trans too but that honestly changes the appeal imo
Quinnfernal
if the hero is trans then of course he supports the trans heroine
Quinnfernal
a dumbass cis dude being 100% in on loving his useless trans girlfriend is a different fantasy
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
yes. I want this.
Quinnfernal
of total unhesitating acceptance from the kind of guy who realistically might not
yuri duty
is. is "lgbt shlock" a term u really wanna use 
Echo
I think he means "more shlocky stuff that is also LGBT".
Echo
Because sometimes you just want fun comforting schlock and not a complex masterpiece, but also for it not to be relentlessly cishet.
Snake-Kun
y....yes that's what I meant
skerple
we deserve brainless popcorn fantasies
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
i do in fact desire brainless popcorn fantasies
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
shlock but where a girl is trans and no one cares
Quinnfernal
that is what I meant yes
Quinnfernal
not all LGBT stories need to be highbrow art, let them also be mindless dumb entertainment
Quinnfernal
let them be normal
Ramases II
Yeah
yuri duty
ahhhh ok
Quinnfernal
trashy lesbian romcoms, gay gunshooty action movies
Quinnfernal
etc etc
Quinnfernal
junk is fun and everyone deserves it
yuri duty
I mentally parsed that as "shlock that is shlock because its lgbt"
Quinnfernal
YEAH definitely not that
Snake-Kun
1000% not that
Quinnfernal
anyway overdone mysogynistic tropes are bad but if we're gonna have them anyway, trans women get to participate if they want to
Ramases II
Trans princess as an object of desire and living macguffin
Ramases II
Transmasc himbo musclehead
oh i'm scary
I'd be a damsel in distress
oh i'm scary
sounds like a nice gig
Ramases II
It's inside work but the hours are terrible
Quinnfernal
"transmasc himbo musclehead" is basically the concept behind Pierce QuinnOC
Ramases II
With a side of edgelord iirc
Quinnfernal
yeah
Quinnfernal
trans girl battle heroine's job is to think softly about the hero and occasionally have the villain monologue at her about his ideology, until a guy with a sword cuts him in half on her behalf
Doge-lover Joja
do they get scenes with backdrops of bubbles and pastel colors?
Quinnfernal
obviously yes
Quinnfernal
the whole treatment
