me: I wonder how they& #39;ll make the lamunation MC stand out

luna: i& #39;m a nudist, I like to put stuff in my butt for no real reason and I have no idea what sex is despite uploading nudes on twitter daily

me : ...huh
Gamers are all acting like "trans rights" is some kind of ironic meme, and that irks me a bit.

As a NB person, I& #39;m always afraid content creators doing stuff I enjoy will turn out to have bigoted views on *my right to exist*. Hearing them say "Trans rights" can be LIBERATING
The whole HEARTBEAT debacle is a perfect example of thid. I looked up to the game creators and they inspired me to work on RM to begin with.

So when they turned out to be TERFS, my heart shattered. I felt horrible, and I honestly considered quitting using RM altogether.
And I think would have, without my friends and mutuals being overwhelmingly against them and people like Nitro Rad deleting their videos on the game. It& #39;s really hard to describe how depressing it can feel to have people you consider as inspirations just denying you have rights.
Of course it& #39;s easy to go "Content creators aren& #39;t your friends and you shouldn& #39;t glorify them" and I agree, but here the bar is very, VERY low. Asking content creators to consider trans and NB people as /human beings/ isn& #39;t glorification, it& #39;s asking for human decency.
also why is the first tweet of the thread my lamunation tweet what the fuck
