What is it about anti-trans people that they are so fucking obsessed with trans people? Like, they make hating trans people a core tenant of their entire character.
trans ppl are one of most marginalized groups who also have barely any representation in the public media, its a prime target for bullying when youre a horrible bigot, online spaces turn more and more into violent echo chambers so ppl get radicalized harder and faster than like 10 years ago.
Those ppl spend a lot of time online and Twitter's new boss is openly pushig and supporting anti-trans voices for example. German Twitter is especially hateful and barely moderated.
Not to mention that a *lot* of Germans are still/again not rly socially progressive
Trans people are incredibly over represented in the public media
really?
the vast majority of trans debates in the english media sphere don't even have trans people in the debate about them lol.
Otherwise it's like, some fringe netflix shows and a small part of the indie gaming space are the only places, the chances of being exposed to trans representation in media without specifically searching it out is minimal.
Like, I'm very much in the online media spaces that are most welcoming of trans people and I still see very little unless I would specifically search for LBTQ+ media.
I did a quick google to get a frame of reference, and within video games since 2020, there are 17 trans characters, of which only 4 games would be considered mainstream (Last of Us 2, Cyberpunk, Baldurs Gate 3, Hogwarts Legacy).... That's not many, and I don't think we can really consider many of the games Super Lesbian Animal RPG to really be representative of regular media?
For films it's 23 films since 2020 of which I have heard of only 1 film, the rest are all indie art-house... Again not really representative of what people will see unless they search it out.
