/lgbt/ - LGBT

Personally I'm chill with just looking like someone's mom, so seeing a character that's "prettier" (which seems like a spook) doesn't mess with me that much. Might be because my ideas of what counts as pretty is formed by furry art so humans aren't top teir for me to begin with on that scale.

- Change your tastes to something you wouldn't be disappointed in not achieving yourself, either by developing attraction for something closer to what you can achieve, or something that just straight up doesn't exist outside of art.
- Develop an idea of femininity not founded in being attractive to others. You are not nor should you aspire to be a sex object.

I know Max Stirner wrote something useful here but I don't know the exact words. Basically ask yourself “Is this idea mine, or am I it's?” regularly.

if it makes you feel any better, bridget is a femboy, not a trans woman

>It felt like the movie itself was mocking me for being too cowardly to transition, and basically telling me that I was gonna suffer and be unhappy forever until I die.
Oh COME ON, THIS ISN'T EVEN SUBTEXT

Well bridget's an advanced sorta deal:
- assigned female at birth because if she was cis by normal standards that would trigger a curse
- left her village and detransed to femboy, making her trans according to her village but cis elsewhere
- retransed to woman in strive, making her cis according to her village but trans elsewhere

Basically a thought experiment about the nature of cisness and transness.

Many art regardless of portraying a trans character or not may be received as something beautiful to the one and just like how art entails fantasy of thought, it is not surprising to have desires to experience that fantasy in an idealized way.

One may feel gloomy that they are not a character in an 2D cartoon they were amazed with. Like being a peanut shooter plant creature embracing your beloved sunflower plant creature.

But at the end of the day, it does not seem like such fantasies are coming any soon, so I guess you gotta take it easy- let your soul full of sorrow rest for a while.

I cant control what im attracted too, unfortunately. Plus, its not just the physical attractiveness that makes me feel shitty in comparison, its also how happy, socialible, and self-accepting most trans characters are.

>Develop an idea of femininity not founded in being attractive to others. You are not nor should you aspire to be a sex object.
A lot of feminity is fundamentally founded in being attractive to others as a result of the patriarchy. Besides, I just want men to actually find me attractive for once in my life. Im so tired of being alone, and im not talented at anything or contribute anything to society, so my appearance is basically the only thing of value that I have

>>4221
tbh I got spoiled on the ending before I watched it. I watched like the first ten minutes and then quit because I already had the knowledge on the ending in my mind and it made me see everything through the lenses that it was mocking me.

Besides, if they are trying to make a "theres still time" message then why did they go with the ending they chose? kinda seems to imply the complete opposite

>>4225
The ending is ambiguous, you can choose to believe she ran right to the grave shaped hole after the tv in her chest showed or that she compartmentalized her feelings before as she did for more than two decades

>>4220
they made her into a trans woman in the newest game. kinda sucks since femboys barely get any representation whatsoever in video games. idk why they couldnt just make a new original character who was trans and kept bridgette a femboy so that both trans people and femboys would get representation

>Everytime I see a character like brigette from guilty gear im just reminded how ill never be as pretty as her, and how ill never be as confident and happy as her.

Yeah because you're not an anime character you're an actual human being subject to ageing and death. You weren't drawn by a person trying to make a pretty character in an specific artstyle that looks like nobody ever on the planet earth, instead your appearance is that of a weird hairless monkey and with variations determined by genetics (not a personal insult btw! I know its very redditpilled but memento monke. You're a fucking MONKEY. We all are) . You will NEVER be anime.

>>4225
Ah I see, like they're trying too hard to make the characters good role models and such.

I'll dig around for a PDF but there is a book called Not Dead by Madi Girlmeat that had pretty messy rep you might find fun.

>>4229
here we go, it was on my e-reader

>>4228
what's even the point of living if i cannot be perfectly beautiful

>>4217
you should not compare yourself to cartoons

>>4228
>>4232
It's not just anime though, The trans characters in live action media are always far more prettier than ill ever be. And those are played by real people.
>>4231
Real
>>4230
thanks

>>4234
>live action media
the amount of editing that goes into that stuff makes it pretty much just a cheap way of doing a cartoon
