Triggers my dysphoria. That shit is really harmful.

Or just really put off and assume that it was done in poor taste.

that art was made by rcdart. they are a trans fetishist. they're pretty much gone from the internet, though

it does really trigger dysphoria (at least for me). the fact that people see us like that, ultra feminine (at least for FtM people) with bikinis and little to no transition, not only makes me triggered, but it’s also insulting.

@@squiddy3134 That artist that drew a trans captain america and captioned it "a slut"?

Ture!

I do that but its usually just one bandaid lol

Yeah, my characters have bandaids/bandages for several different reasons. The one with most prominent injuries, it's because she gets in a lot of street fights. Another one is pretty clumsy, so he gets minor injuries a lot. Although I do have a character with bandages on his arms to hide self harm scars, but I absolutely don't romanticize it and almost never even draw the scars themselves, cause it may be uncomfortable for some people. It's part of his story, trying to heal his depression and trauma the best he can. Sooo... don't romanticize self harm y'all

I put bandages on the arms of characters who are strong and fight hard! Or characters that really have their own problems that I don't glorify and depict as something bad that they must stop to improve! And bandages are for mischievous characters who only know how to get hurt in their chenanigas!

Exactly! But I guess I "romanticize self-harm" just because one of my ocs have a bandage on her nose (I just think it looks cute on a tomboy character 😊)

Yeah, agreed.

Exactly

I personally don't like the art style, but I agree with this statement

@MARIAN ALEXIS ORTIZ GIL MENDEZ As a woman, I don't think disliking excessive body hair is sexist in of itself. I do, however, think it's sexist to dislike excessive body hair because "women are supposed to shave!!!" I believe there's a difference between visual preference and making fun of/demanding people look a certain way.

@MARIAN ALEXIS ORTIZ GIL MENDEZ yeah, if women need to shave then guys have to do it to! Everyone or no one

Ditto

Oof same

bruh

I still find that an issue, I just apologize anything else surrounding the topic.

@@MissZiZi understandable. Like trans/ Non-binary can present how they want, for example I flip from feminine to androgynous, but hell I get pissed when people go off and draw a trans dude looking like a tom boy and gush over all their feminine traits and call them a soft boy, cause it's just so fucking irritating.

@@GraveyardMaiden its irritating and kinda offensive to the people who are trans and nonbinary that struggle with dysphoria.

@@mothmadi_ Exactly, like trans people aren"t dress up dolls, so these folks need to stop treating them as such

Yeah, also there's really only one big problem with racebending. Again, if you change the race to relate to it more or "just because" that's completely fine. Personally, that's not how I relate to characters, I relate to them because of their situation and morals as opposed to their race, sexuality, or gender, but it's fine if that's how you relate to characters. The big problem I see a lot with racebending (especially white changed to something else) is that the person "fixed the character" as if now that they're a different race they're a better person??? Honestly, that mentality is pretty racist though, and should not be forgiven in my opinion.

I would die for you @Massive Legend O,O

No you wouldn’t lmao

@@hiiragii wanna bet

bitch how much

you have no other option

For that reason I say "Swoosh" instead of sjw

@@lazergurka-smerlin6561 so basically the same but another word so people dont come at you and you can get away with not owning your words and actions? k bro

Right-Wing SJWs are know as TVW, or "Traditional-Values Warrior"

Ugh. I have opposing views against those kinds of people but it makes me gag to even use that term (not because I think those people are vile but the term is so overused I hate hearing everything from it.)

Neither do I use the term "anti-sjw". Just. Yuck.

I am curious

I am also curious

Did someone say curious

Links please

@@laoaidan2400 yes

This.

@moonfløwer I think it's okay if you do that your own character. It's your character u can do whatever u want with it. 👌👌

@moonfløwer With your own OC it's fine, I'm talking about canon characters

Queen Boo honestly kinda yea. If your doing it for fun it’s fine but if you think you’re is better than the original just because you slapped a different colour then that’s a problem

Culturedcrazygirl I agree, sometimes I like racebending with characters to see what they would look like in different universes and such, but as they said if they think it’s better cause the original was “bad” in their opinion that’s wrong

I like redesigning characters in my own image or style. I like the original and i'm not saying it's bad. I just love changing characters up. This sometimes includes skin. I got the love of changing character designs from batman. I just do it for fun.

There's unfortunately too many people that don't scroll past it and try to come up with a reason to bitch or try to find fault with what someone says.

​@Garett Crook Oh, I know, it also doesn't stop at art. I had someone tell me that I Was a horrible person just for saying that her professions are not a valid source of information for something that I was looking for, and she reported me to an admin for a group that this took place in, and she got mad when they took my side. I mean, heaven forbid I not care about something especially since she gave me what I later found out was false information.

@@naraku971 you're so right, also veterans need to stop having PTSD attacks on the 4th of july.

but that depends as what people claim as "maturity" is a bit like not seeing that even people can flip on the wrong side just as much being wrong too far on the other as meaning the subjectivity as how people still treat 18+ artistic creations as bad but then act bigoted when the same people do the same in their terms

Alfae god thank you, I agree with this

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-me9t2bcSAnI.html

Not going to lie, but I stopped watching that video when she said: "Some people think it's hypocritical to be against white washing and be for blackwashing, and to that I say I think you're missing the point." Okay, not exactly that part, I watched what she said after about context and society but the point is in my opinion, no, it's still hypocritical. The context does matter, if you're doing it just because you like it then I'm fine with it. I've seen plenty of fanart of blake from rwby as black I like, as well as yang (another rwby character). Unfortunately those are the only two who immediately come to mind at the moment but the point is those people did those because they, as far as I could tell, just liked how the characters looked that way. that's all well and good. But if you're doing that and then complaining about making a character white, or even just lightening their skin a little, you're a hypocrite. (No I'm not saying her video was bad, honestly my attention was a little divided but I did find her video good up to that point)

agree, stop racebending, create and build up your own characters.

@@Drakon_Minaka people also get angry about artwork that shows different lighting and claim it's racebending when it isnt as well. Like for example when people draw Ness with bright lighting, it might make parts of her body more, light, and a lot of people don't catch onto that. And so then the line gets blurred between reaI race bending and just art with good light and different colors like dark blue, and light blue contrasting to create the illusion of a shadow

agreed

I mean it became a trend in some parts of the world, i believe japan was one of the places? (i could be wrong about that one in particular) Where those who glorified self harm would wear cutesie aesthetic bandages over their scars and clothing with text that promoted their ideals. It was part of their whole thing, and that's why people would see those bandages and automatically assumed glorification of self harm. Also no one really had an issue with small children being portrayed with those bandages cus like...kids bandages tend to be colorful, but it was usually when older teens and adults were portrayed with them and self harm scars.

@@starlette7820 that trend is yami kawaii if I remember correctly, it's like a way for depressed people to cope with their illness, not really harmful. I used to draw characters like that, full of rainbow bandaids n shit because I think it looks cute lol

@@max_punch It's also known as "Menhera" which is short for "Mental Health". From what I know, it's not just a coping mechanism but also a way to spread awareness in Japan about mental health in an easy to digest manner, as mental illness is very stigmatized in Japan.

No matter what you wear, if you have dysphoria, you are a valid trans person 👍

Also I gotta note how I hate this mentality because my girlfriend is trans and I'm afraid she might get invalidated or not pass because she doesn't have super long hair or wears makeup and prefers wearing cargo pants rather than flowery dresses.

Not funny...at all.

@@jake-fj2zi comedy = tragedy + time

What was the other one she listed "gnc" i think i was, what does that mean. Honest question

@@laoaidan2400 | GNC = "Gender Non-Conforming". I wanna say it's another term for or it's like NB ("Non-Binary"), but I'm not the one to ask for the definitions of such things.

@@Buzzkilljoy1248 actually nothing alike to non binary. here, on gender and sex identity you have what would be like three categories. first biological sex. that means your chromosomes, your hormones, your genitalia, etc. Then you got gender, that is basically the shape of your brain. Theres overall a common type of shape among men and a common type of shape among women, of distinct regions that activate or develop stronger on each gender. Gender dysphoria is when the structure of your brain doesnt matches with your biological sex, as we still cant change the brain, we change our bodies!! non binary people have shown to have brain structures who either match equally with both genders or none, causing them dysphoria from both gender expressions. an androgynous presentation seems to be the best way to alleviate the dysphoria from the level of technology and research we have at the time, but is still being improved. Least but not least, you have gender expression. This is the way you show yourself. This and gender are the reason of why a crossdresser and a trans girl arent the same, or a tomboy and a pre everything trans boy. This is basically how you express, how you dress, how you talk how you walk, the "stereotypical" gay man, per example, would have a femenine gender expression, while a butch lesbian would have a very masculine one. As they dont experience gender dysphoria they are still cis. A gender non conforming person is someone with a gender expression that is androgynous or just overall doesnt conforms to gender stereotypes. The gender expression is what is an actual social construct, not gender. A dude can wear a dress and still be a dude, and a girl can leave her armpit hair grow and still be a girl. i hope it helps!! i also wanted to make clear that yhe disconnection between brain and sex can also be adressed as gender incongruence, but the incongruence causes the dysphoria and the dysphoria cant be there without the incongruence so is the same and gender dysphoria is a more known term so yeah!! also english is not my first language so sorry if none of that made sense eheh

Thanks to the people who explained. In hindsight, i feel kinda dumb when i can’t figure out acronyms that are pretty obvious

@@bandidocavalier perfect explanation, thank you!

It's not really that. I'm just saying if you want advice on how to portray a trans character, don't ask me. I have my way of doing things but I'm totally right.

@@MissZiZi Agreed. But, you can discuss how to do GOOD characters, and figure out all the other details from there.

@@project9701 that's exactly what I said. I can give basic advice of character design. I just can't properly represent a trans person perfect.

both sides are bad its the problem of how people justify double standards hypocrisy

Fucking interdimensionphobe smh my head

Yeah, seriously.

Same

Yeah, that video got me to subscribe.

I still do. She can change her opinion tho but I still agree most points in that vid

Do you mind if I ask why?

I think Zi-Zi really just...wants to try and make truce with people that are friendly to this mindset and make people stop approaching her for advice on drawing transsexual characters. Maybe she's recently developed a new relationship and she wants to distance herself from an ideology she now finds inconvenient? Maybe she has seen interest, customer engagement, and commissions drop? Or maybe she's become popular with crowds friendly to these ideas and she doesn't want trouble? It pretty much comes off as 'I don't want trouble'. It's even possible she got approached by people who draw in that weird Tumblr style who were...nice to her, and it made her feel bad. Whatever the reasons, something comes off as disingenuous with this video.

Idk man telling kids body hair is gross is kinda toxic. Didn't really care. But glad she acknowledged it.

@@aradiamegido7040 Get better parents or stop looking to random strangers on the internet for advice. The internet is not a babysitter.

@@bedroombunny9529 It isn't I will give you that. But if you take that away. Still kinda fucked. There isn't anything wrong with body hair or other things she was offended by.

@@jakzine540 Yeah you’re not allowed to question certain things anymore.

Fucking. Same. People can do whatever they want but they shouldnt be pissy if I did the same as what they do. Also, I hate racebending with passion.

I wouldn’t say that i am, but i’m what you’d typically call an “sjw”, and i must admit... You’re right. It doesn’t make sense that we’d want censorship, especially when you consider the fact that explicit & positive depictions of gay & silly gender stuff have been censored from all forms media for decades. You’d think treatment like that would make us hate censorship.... Unless..... The majority of us *do* hate it, and those that actively & aggressively enforce it (though it doesn’t excuse their behaviour), are only doing so because they’ve been through some shit and are paranoid as all fuck about being hurt again. Why haven’t you heard about this supposedly awful shit we’ve apparently gone through, i hear you ask? Well, you got me there. It’s kinda hard to say... It’s almost as if we’re being..... Ah, what’s the word? .......Censored???? Ah whatever. I’m rambling. Could be wrong.

@@kingtypo5925 you being an abuse victim doesn't excuse you abusing/being toxic to others. Some people uses self victimization as a shield to self awareness and self introspection.

Berserker !! Yes i completely agree. Sorry if i wasn’t clear about that. Sending someone death threats on twitter over some mistake they made is incredibly unproductive, and just terrible in general. My point was that it’s also unproductive to assume that just because someone online was mean to you, everyone on that side acts the same. It would also be nice if people stopped assuming that anything that conflicts with their own logic automatically means that the opposing side are just being hypocrites, instead of figuring out that they may not know as much as they think they do.

using the phrase "they dont like it" is gross oversimplification and ignoring the fact that racists, homophobes etc exist.

Not even gonna respond to the rest cause I don't care but I just rewatched the video I gotta ask uhhh Where's the r slur? Like, a timestamp would be nice

@@MissZiZi why dont you care? /gen

Garett Crook Exactly. When art triggers dysphoria, you probably shouldn’t post it to begin with.

People deserve to make whatever art they wish, even if it might cause something uncomfortable in others.

@Garett Crook It doesnt need a good reason. People should be allowed to make art of whatever quality they either want or are capable of doing. This whole video is a retraction on criticizing forms of art people prefer or are capable of doing.

@Garett Crook the response and reaction to that art may be whatever, but people should be allowed to make whatever art they wish to

Renan Haddad This comment is not referring to people taking creative liberties. It refers to people who fetishise others pains and struggles. A good example of this is RCDart, who was bullied off of the internet for a good god damn reason. She, fetishized a trans version of Steve Rogers. Not because she herself was trans, but because she thought it was hot. Referring to this so called “trans-man” as a slut and repeatedly making porn of him getting fucked treated like a woman, despite being a “trans-man”. That art right there triggered so many peoples dysphoria. That is harmful art. She got bullied off the internet because of her disrespectful ways to depict trans and black people. If you don’t believe me, look up her art and have a look yourself.

completely different
