(no subject)

Idly considering my ideas for The Phantom Thieves of Balls, and most of the major targets actually make sense for forcefem. Kamoshida, Kaneshiro, and Shido all sexually exploit women. Okumura tries to push his daughter into a loveless marriage. Futaba is a depressed autistic hacker, and therefore trans by default. Sae could start as a guy who can’t so much as consider being trans because it would be devastating to his professional reputation. The only odd one out is Madarame, who left a woman to die, but didn’t have gendered reasons for it.

The million-dollar question: what deadname do I give Sae the Guy? I don’t know enough about Japanese names for this. (I can brute-force Futaba by deadnaming her as Fuuta.)

Edit: and in the end Yaldabaoth gets a bullet in his “head.”

A memory from years ago

Me: I’m sick of League of Legends players telling me to kill myself.

Them: Join an all-women group.

Me (egg in denial): My voice sounds pretty feminine. I could probably fake my way into one of those groups. But there are lots of other guys who’re sick of being told to kill themselves, and they wouldn’t be allowed to join just because they’re guys. I feel like I’d be disrespecting them by joining a community that rejects them.

Them: Kill yourself.
