talking abt cis ppl slapping top scars on their fanart of a fictional man and calling it a day in the Trans Ally department is criticism of how cis ppl will do the bare minimum and expect ppl 2 clap for them being the biggest allies in the world (wow awesome u recognize trans ppl exist sometimes bcuz u draw an anime man with top scars 1 time so ppl would leave u alone abt never drawing trans ppl, great lol) esp while never interacting with or boosting actual trans peoples art, not as a critique of the character ‘not looking trans enough’. if u think that was the criticism then u have lost the plot cuz being pissy that someone drew a usually masculine guy with top scars and complaining abt how he ‘doesnt even look trans’ is actually just you being shitty. what i always wonder w this too is like. u rly think its actually more progressive for a cis person who has 1 way of drawing men to draw the trans man differently than they do the cis men? you think thats Progressive and Accurate bcuz trans men are a TOTALLY Different Male Species? and u want ppl to think ur not a transphobic idiot and ur actually making points? u dont even understand what the original joke and criticism was

#the problem isnt someone drew top scars on a masculine fictional man that literallyisnt a fucking problem #the crit is bcuz cis ppl r fucking losers who think theyre a god among men for recognizing trans ppl exist 1 time #and not on any Serious art or anyting just some sketch they can toss out and not expect to lose their core cis audience for #bcuz if things arent constantly relatable to them nd their Important Cis Artist buddies they cant possibly risk doing More here #or whatever thier thought process is #to them trans ppl r making niche unrelatable weird art and art of their fave characters being trans makes the #m uncomfy :( :( but every so often theyll throw out a bone and expect ppl to suck them off for it #to prove to themselves or their cis fans or whatever that they really ARENT a transphobe!!! see theyve drawn a trans guy once
