Was this scene in Arcane transphobic?
THIS IS NOT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ANYONE TO COME TALK TRASH ABOUT TRANS PPL. IF THATS YOURE ONLY COMMENT PLZ GO TF AWAY
At any rate, I joined a lesbian sub and I saw them vehemently discussing this particular scene in Arcane, ripping it as transphobic. A lot of the ladies were refusing to watch the show due to this character, saying it was portraying trans and genderqueer ppl in a bad light; and how showing a visibly trans person outside of an establishment is a media tactic to show that a place is undesirable or unsafe.
Considering the fact that this show has unashamedly shown lesbian characters of all flavors (Violet, Caitlyn, Sevika, Maddie) and some characters of questionable sexuality (Jayce, Viktor)….and the fact that this show eschews societal issues such as racism and sexism, it seems odd that they would be overtly transphobic.
Anyway, what do yall think?
