>I have to get my friend to pre-screen games for me because "body type A/B" options in character creators are a dysphoria and self-harm trigger for meFucking fuck fuck FUCK it's like a fucking conspiracy against me! FUCK. And when I bring this up or want to mod it out, I'M the bad guy! FUCK I JUST WANT TO PLAY GAMES FUUUUUCKING HELLLLLLL. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
>>43237298How would that possibly trigger dysphoria though?
bait used to be funny
>>43237298you people can't do anything
>>43237298you need anti anxiety meds and therapy>>43237303probably like "I was born body type A but I need body type B" feelings of determinism, shame, disgust, not being enough etc.
>>43237303After ten years of SOs playing the pronoun game and being misgendered as "they" it's really gotten under my skin. I'm not a fucking "body type".
>>43237327extremely stupid, get the fuck over yourself
>>43237346You see anon, the thing is with mental illness is that it is inherently irrational.
>>43237612There is no recognized mental illness that causes you to self harm when seeing a body type option in a game
>>43237617No but it's clearly not something healthy either
>>43237636it's bait
>>43237617This may surprise you, but being called a "they" or being disallowed from explicitly stating your gender (or having to clarify it) IS still a form of misgendering.
>>43237648You are not being misgendered by videogame body type options, no matter how they're labelled
>>43237660Yeah, I am a trans woman trying to feel empathy for OP but that logic does not make sense to me. Maybe PTSD that isn’t directly linked to the body type choice but it’s a trigger?
>>43237298Gamergate was for u nona
>>43237660You are if the game calls you a "they" with no option to change it.
>>43237673Do you get extremely dysphoric playing Zelda or Mario? Must be hard having to play as a male character as a trans woman
>>43237695No, why would I? That's not a created character or an avatar, that's an established character.
>>43237695damn ur retarded
>>43237802>>43237673I can't think of a single game that let's you create your own character and then exclusively they/thems you
>>43237638I hope so
>>43237673>>43240672Doesn't Animal Crossing do this?
