Everyone has always told me Japan was a largely conservative and otherwise backwards nation, but a number of high profile anime have featured trans characters in recent years.
From Haruhi Fujioka to Felix Argyle to Yukimura Kusonoki to Astolfo, and countless others.
So which is it? And why are they so common in anime.
It's always been super common with shoujo or female authors especially.

Did the world really end in 2012, is this all a dream? Why are trannies and faggots so accepted nowadays, they deserve to be skinned alive and die in nameless graves why are they so accepted it makes so sense
What's your definition of trans? >shows what you know.
Hudson Kelly
He enjoys being a trap. But he identifies as male because he uses “boku”
Jacob King
>be /pol/ >be incel otaku Like clockwork
Nathan Baker
>Haruhi Fujioka >Haruhi >trans She's non-binary and uses the neutral pronoun "jibun". Haruhi doesn't mind being seen as male as she doesn't care what's between ones legs. Her dad on the other hand....
Joseph Harris
A few years ago I got banned for trolling - referring to trap characters as transsexuals.
I wish we could go back to those times.

But those are all traps though.

There's a difference between LGBT for entertainment and LGBT for pushing political/social agendas.
Most Japanese media does it purely to appeal to their existing degenerate fanbase which loves it (traps, yuri, yaoi, whatever else). Most Western media does it to be progressive, but certainly not all, many indie studios get by on pandering to yaoi/yuri fanbase.

Propaganda thread disgused as an Yea Forums thread. Report and ignore.
Jayden Rogers
Not trans myself, but I thought Yea Forums was liberal...
Joshua Barnes
But this is 4channel friend everyone's allowed to have an opinion as long as they love ad revenue
Most western media DOESN’T do it for progression. They do it for market appeal under the disguise of being inclusive and liberal when they’re really just making characters with no depth for the sole purpose of being a fag or being a transvestite. They don’t fucking care.

>Everyone has always told me Japan was a largely conservative and otherwise backwards nation Just take everything with a grain of salt user. Remember that people both left and right are going to project their own feelings and views onto this sort of content. Don't build assumptions, just take in the little things.
For example, im@s CG's Asuka is voiced by an x-gender seiyuu who decided they were nonbinary after watching Kara no Kyoukai. They stream games sometimes. Kind of cool.
Asher Brooks
roger is a black male
Brayden Morris
>Make a trans representation thread >Talk about traps Wow user are you saying that trans are men in a dress ? This christian site doesn't welcome transphobic people like you
People try to bullshit this excuse but everyone called Watarase Jun a trap for years when the reality is that in the source material they want to be called a girl, treated like a girl, and when they get girl parts it's the best thing that's ever happened to them.
Cameron King
This. It’s all marketing. It always has been. You want a good gay character the. You wouldn’t put “is gay” as one of their character traits.
>if you discuss something controversial it's bait!!

>identifies as a guy. >still wants the dick Oh fuck, I guess that makes "him" gay trans, right? But then she still wants to be pounded in the front not the behind.
Evan Perez
You will never be a real woman. You can try to change society as much as you like, you can never change the reality you were born a man and that will never change.
So I know osme people will get mad and say 'traps aren't trans" and you're technically right. But for some people maybe exploring their sexual identity they're good role models of guys and girls who might not fit gender norms but are still good people.
I mean if you like reverse traps and tomboys, you have to kind of be fair and not bully traps.
Ugly bastard is disgusting (just as bad as animal shit), NTR is not bad as long as the guy is handsome
Jacob Rivera
being a trap doesn't mean you want to be a woman

The only reason they ‘might not’ is because they learn about it from others instead of discovering it themselves.
Colton Miller
That's pretty homophobic, you damn Nazi.
Adrian Edwards
It was on the news recently that tomboys in my country are a dying breed because they go FtM instead, there was even an interview with one who claimed the whole trans movement was a scam that ruined peoples lives for money.
Oliver Turner
I bet you would complain if it were you taking my dick.
You haven't seen Yea Forums when it gets political. Yea Forumsmblr is real.
I wish pre-/pol/ Yea Forums was back. /pol/ and gamergate ruined the fucking internet way more than SJWs.
Dominic Harris
Hating trannies doesn't mean you're from /pol/.
Angel Smith
>not wanting to be a cute feminine man
Isaac Edwards
>Yea Forums isn't liberal >literally non Japanese people watching Japanese things and being fans of Japanese styles and cultural norms >watching anime requires you to develop understanding of different cultures and peoples
I know some people hate liberals but this is just being idiotic.
I still have no fucking clue what gamergate is desu
Henry Reed

Luke Richardson
how about faggot then?

That's rich coming from a bunch of guys who obsess about "gene seeds".
Alexander Clark
le tranny boogeyman is /pol/
Zachary Myers
There's a big difference between not liking or supporting trannies and hating them. Only a miserable /pol/tard would obsessively hate people who are different from them.
I don't "obsessively hate" them, I just tell them to fuck off when I see their political bullshit on Yea Forums.
John White
I've been around since before gamergate. I just can't be arsed to find out any more than "it's a bunch of angry incels"
Matthew Long
You seem to forget that Japan is xenophobic and is an old fashioned country, especially by western standards. Why would progressive people want to support a culture that is "backwards"?
Carter Cruz
the traitor in occultic;nine was a tranny
Gavin Gonzalez
>Yea Forumsmblr There's liberals on every board man. Even /pol/ has it's hardcore masochist liberals.
A lot of the Japanese reaction to this was actually being really pissed off that anyone would think that Japanese are racist or intolerant of other cultures. It seems the average urban Japanese person is pretty globalist especially since they're aware of the declining birth rates and the need for foreign labour if Japan doesn't want to spiral into economic oblivion.
