On the one hand, it's fucking weird that the creator's self-insert was made trans. On the other, the overall quality would not have been hurt keeping Ralph as he was.
That, and, was it so hard to make an original character?
>inb4 "muh /pol/" >inb4 lefty/co/ demonstrating its retardation as usual
Nah, it makes sense for the character >character only is happy after they are true to their self
Lucas Davis
Seriously, when did Ralph ever show signs of being dysphoric in the original show? It feels like a cheap, lazy retcon to be "woke".
Jordan Nguyen
See
William Gomez
A lot of trans people don't show signs of dysphoria, besides maybe depression, before transitioning
Jordan Reyes
>Poster count didn't rise Don't spam please
Nicholas Gomez
If they wanted to make this plotline work, they should've made Ralph trans from the beginning instead of just suddenly making him trans 20 years later.
Henry Sanchez
>character only is happy after they are true to their self But he will never be genetically female >in b4 um actually frogs can change gender
Yeah, good luck with having a non-heteronormal character on saturday morning cartoons in the early 90s. From the era that gave us the """cousins""" Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus
I wonder if actual transgenders care what others think. Rachel still made the special despite being told off by Mr. Bighead.
Ryder Wilson
>special is about change >complains about change
Easton Murphy
Buddy I wasn't trans 20 years ago either, and now I am. That's usually how it works. >inb4 "dilate ur 40 percent"
Josiah Nguyen
I thought trans shit didn't work that way? How can you go most of your life only to go "hey wait I'm not a guy" out of nowhere? Or was it a slow burn type of deal?
Tyler Collins
Seriously, why couldn't they just make an original character who we know is trans from the get go?
Isn't "trans-washing" characters for representation bad optics? These characters weren't fine before, now they HAVE to be this way so minorities can relate to them?
Brody Richardson
Repression is a ridiculously powerful tool
Nicholas Parker
I'm more concerned about tomboys being dykewashed myself.
Aiden Cooper
If they made an original character who was trans they would have caught shit from everyone for “forcing in a tranny character for Netflix”
Adam Reyes
It’s more like “oh shit I didn’t even realize I could do that”
I mean, I still browse here
Christopher Russell
>I wonder if actual transgenders care what others think. Well, they do tend to kill themselves if you call them "sir".
Jaxon Ross
One joke
Christopher Russell
It just find the whole "you'll never be a real male/female" argument kind of pointless.
Isaiah Brown
You can't try to act like you're not a /pol/ack while also calling this board "lefty/co/"
Ethan Miller
That wasn't a joke.
Brandon Young
I mean, yeah. People would've complained either way.
Still, the quality of your writing/characterization should not suffer just so a small percentage of your audience feels comfortable or validated.
Benjamin Scott
Taking an existing character and changing them with no build up is still forced, and should be rightfully criticized
Bentley Jenkins
>make a character trans >keep the deep ass voice That was funny and you know it, stop being a triggered alt right snowflake
Brayden Gutierrez
Samefag. Beyond pathetic
Hudson Gutierrez
deal with it
Adrian Murphy
>This show had no business being made again. Fixed that for you If they didn't have anything new or interesting to say they should have just shut the fuck up Sometimes dead is better
>cartoons are made by perverts But even when straight, white men were the only ones making them, that was true.
Nolan Gonzalez
The father looks dead inside.
Jack Butler
Not all of them feel the need to actually be another gender. They just want people to see them as such. Which is fine until they get pissed and not respect that not everyone wants to see them as it. Not all trannies actually crave acceptance, though. Just almost all of them.
Austin Kelly
Why is always a dopey looking girl who transitions, he's still going to be dopey looking.
