Quinn Angstrom
here's a character dynamic I wanna see some day:
Quinn Angstrom
a standard hot-blooded shonen hero guy,
Quinn Angstrom
and a Useless Shonen Battle Manga Girl who's a trans girl
Quinn Angstrom
let a trans girl stand to the side of the battle clasping her hands and saying "heroname-kun..." then get captured by the villain
Quinn Angstrom
while some dumbass with a sword is completely in love with her
Villain
more LGBT schlock?
Quinn Angstrom
always
Quinn Angstrom
part of me says to make the hero trans too but that honestly changes the appeal imo
Quinn Angstrom
if the hero is trans then of course he supports the trans heroine
Quinn Angstrom
a dumbass cis dude being 100% in on loving his useless trans girlfriend is a different fantasy
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
yes. I want this.
Quinn Angstrom
of total unhesitating acceptance from the kind of guy who realistically might not
hot bear summer
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.
Villain
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
Quinn Angstrom
that is what I meant yes
Quinn Angstrom
not all LGBT stories need to be highbrow art, let them also be mindless dumb entertainment
Quinn Angstrom
let them be normal
Rama
Yeah
hot bear summer
ahhhh ok
Quinn Angstrom
trashy lesbian romcoms, gay gunshooty action movies
Quinn Angstrom
etc etc
Quinn Angstrom
junk is fun and everyone deserves it
hot bear summer
I mentally parsed that as "shlock that is shlock because its lgbt"
Quinn Angstrom
YEAH definitely not that
Villain
1000% not that
Quinn Angstrom
anyway overdone mysogynistic tropes are bad but if we're gonna have them anyway, trans women get to participate if they want to
Rama
Trans princess as an object of desire and living macguffin
Rama
Transmasc himbo musclehead
oh i'm scary
I'd be a damsel in distress
oh i'm scary
sounds like a nice gig
Rama
It's inside work but the hours are terrible
Quinn Angstrom
"transmasc himbo musclehead" is basically the concept behind Pierce QuinnOC
Rama
With a side of edgelord iirc
Quinn Angstrom
yeah
Quinn Angstrom
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?
Quinn Angstrom
obviously yes
Quinn Angstrom
the whole treatment
