Asking the trannies here in TTTT, what representation do you prefer the trans protag spelling out their trans or something more subtle ?

Paradoxically would you like a 4 season show where the protagonist comes out as trans in season 3, and is girl for all of season 4 ?
>>
neither

rx-78-2 ver ka. is so based I love that design. THIS is my ideal trans rep. make me look like a mobile suit.

>>45111101
At least TADC is Tumblr fembrained. The other one is just straight up autistic malebrained
>>
oh yeah also bunlith is annoying but she is accurate transbian programmer stereotype rep so whatever

Gooseworx really pulled off the "show, don't tell" technique for the finale (i know some of it was really obvious to us but many normies had no idea). Also made a flawed character that wasn't just a mouthpiece for the creator's opinions. And she still somehow caught flack for it, but I think some people are just never happy.
Also, Jax's is literally based on the 4chan repressor archetype, so ofc we're gonna be a bit biased.
>>
>>45111101
Depends if you're making something intended primarily for troon consumption or something for a broader audience
if the former just be relatable
if the latter then the tranny must be effectively cis in every way and her being trans should be a little fun fact
>>
>>45111101
Preferably were normalized in media, so like the previous anon stated, a “show don’t tell” approach is the best way forward.
>>
>>45111101
both of these suck but subtlety is king, so subtle to the point that even most trannies wouldnt bat an eye
>>
obviously textually trans to anyone who can read but doesn't rub it in your face

I really like how JJK handled Kirara. Subtlety is better unless the focus of the work is the characters transition.
>>
Bump, because I’m curious about others take on the matter.
>>
I like it explicit. But i don't want to hear what /tttt/ thinks about it.

Everybody always thinks everything about it. Every direction, somebody has that opinion.

I want to see it and have every opinion myself instead of hearing every opinion from people on /tttt/ about it.
>>
>>45111101
A bit of subtlety or depth is important, I think some trans stories have a tendency to be hamfisted and shallow about it.
>>
>>45111355
unfortunately even with her case you've got people who apparently watched the show with their eyes and ears closed insisting that she's a heccin valid femboy, media literacy (+tranny hatred) levels are fucked
>>
>>45111101
definitely subtle, the in-your-face representation is almost always super cringe and annoying
>>45111111
that could be cool
>>
>>45111101
I like it when they make the character androgynous and refuse to acknowledge their gender identity, so fans are forced to debate online

I still don't think I understand the trans reading of vriska if I'm being honest, can you spell it out for my retard self
>>45111163
I really do think it was insane just how loud the dog whistle was to us but how silent it was to the average cis person. It kinda drove me insane having to lay out and explain each piece of evidence to someone in my life who stonefacedly told me it came out of nowhere, until eventually I was like I AM JAX, THEY ARE ME, GOOSEWORX CLOCKED ME DISTURBINGLY WELL AND I FEEL CRAZY THAT IT ISN'T OBVIOUS TO YOU THAT I WAS JAX TOO. And uh...then we broke up and I started HRT.

congrats nona

Thank you, I had to move out without money but I'm in a lease now and doing pretty well. :>

Never dropped a comic so fast as the one where a girl moves into a new town, makes new friends, they gather around a fireplace (on day one of her being there) and the ftm/ftnb of the group proudly shows their tit removal scars to the person they just met for the first time.
>>
>>45111662
What comic is this

>>45111483
Anime fans can be scarily dumb.

>>45111717
Sorry, can't remember the title. I read it from the (naver) webtoons app.
>>
>>45111737
tbf find it doubtful the modern "anime fan" even like, watches any shows and doesn't consume everything via tiktok clips
>>
>>45111101
I don’t want trans character in mainstream media I just want to read my gender bender comics in peace

Both these examples are bad, either do to the way they're written or the ideas behind the characters.
I want trans characters that show we're fully functioning adults, capable of handling ourselves and don't need to be treated like beasts or children.
>>45111163
The ending was rushed and jax felt like a self insert.
>>
Someone should make an AI slop visual novel that's a lucky-pervert "guy enrolls in an all girls' school, wacky hijinks ensue." And there's an entire game there that plays the premise 100% straight, just AI hentai slop with tacky porno plots and crude humour. Except there's one single conversation where the exasperated school council president confronts you like, "why did you come to an all girls' school if you're just going to act like a disgusting pig?" and you have like 3 dialogue choices in a row that provide offramps to dodge the question or play it for laughs, and if on the last one you just stay uncomfortably silent, then MC breaks down crying and the game immediately switches to genuine transition story with heartfelt authenticity and hand-drawn art.
Just, like, slip that in there in a gooner slop game and see if anyone notices it.
>>
glad trannies are finally being honest and depicting themselves as the mentally ill men that they are

> And she still somehow caught flack for it
from transphobes and stupid media-illiterate people

i watched the show through blind after it finished, loved it, looked it up and came across the fandom…
holy shit i was not expecting people to be so stupid like what the hell

i think un-subtle “in your face” representation is fine to exist, but i don’t care that it does and it will make more people mad, but those people suck.

“subtle” consequential representation like Jax is great.

“ideal” neutral representation does not influence the plot. it’s a person in a role where it could have been anyone, but there was a conscious choice to not just default to straight white male.
(this also makes people mad because you didn’t just use THE DEFAULT and they know it was a statement against the status quo, which they do not like)
>>
>>45112163
Is that character a child? Why does the body look like that
>>
>>45112265
it's reg from made in abyss (robot child) except drawn by someone who's more of a pedophile than the series author
>>
>>45112469
I'm not sure about that lol
>>
>>45112483
tbf if theres a rape arc or smth in the manga i concede
>>
>>45112469
>more of a pedophile than the series author
I dare you to say that after looking at any of the volume extras.
>>
>>45111101
stupid androgynous rabbit killed herself
>>
>>45111101
I prefer tasteful subtlety but with actual evidence
>>
>>45111101
i like when characters are trans and not annoying about it but i see jax right there who isn't that at all and it a terrible character
>>
>>45113966
erm i disagree
>>
>>45112509
there's like three different scenes where reg gets his little boy penis played with by various characters
>>
>>45113978
you probably just kin him like every other fag on this site
