What Zero Could've Been

[Thenightvortex]

Its...kind of hard to say nowadays. Everyone is different, and our overall Culture shifts constantly.
Like Im someone who hates Traditional Gender Representation myself, I think its dated, and in some cases sexist, and harmful.
I think a woman can be tough and dont need to be pretty lil flowers in a dress.
And I think Men can be Gentle and nurturing.

I don’t think liking traditional gender presentation has to do with forcing everyone to fit this mold or thinking that there are things men and women can’t be. It’s about personal enjoyment of an aesthetic in the game and/or irl. I prefer seeing characters who to an extent correspond with their gender role/presentation(without getting into extremes, of course), but I won’t hate a character for straying away from this particular way.

I think most people still enjoy traditional masculinity in men and femininity in women, it doesn’t seem like it will change drastically soon.

They should be.

Well, good luck with making that happen. Telling people they “should” be in a minority for their tastes comes off as very rude.

Someone: turns post about Zero into another anti-transgender soapbox.

not EVERYTHING has to connect to your fear of Trans people.

I’ve read through this thread and didn’t notice anything relating to trans people. Maybe it’s you who wants to make it about them.


P.S. Oh yeah, I just remembered this thread was about Zero. Eh, she’s fine, can’t say anything more than that.

Seconded on the above.
