  1. I am scared of how people think of female characters

    1. @neuraria You're probably confusing "people" with "idiots"

      1. @nerthos Either way. Let's say I, some time down the road, decide to go through the gender reassignment stuff. Most of the time I would probably fear for my life around those people. Women aren't toys for one's enjoyment. For that matter neither are guys, but you don't often see females openly perving on male characters or saying "what the dole why doesn't he have bigger junk" because the vocal minority are terrible and misogynistic.

        1. @neuraria I think the female equivelant of "Why doesn't he have bigger junk" is constant, in some cases alarmingly aggressive, gay-shipping.

          3. @ceruleanspark I've probably seen some of that. I should consider that everyone expresses themselves in different ways

        2. @neuraria The vocal minority of the other side is terrible and misandrystic too so there's not much difference, and girls DO go crazy on male characters, as much as guys do, people just tend to flock more to sites with a male majority so it goes kind of unnoticed. The reality is there's kiwity humans on both sides and going through surgery will not change your chances of being attacked much. If you do get attacked chances are it'll be a robbery and not a hate crime. In today's world people have to be wary of danger regardless of gender, and your best bet is to take some self defence classes that'll teach you how to avoid dangerous situations and get away or defend yourself if you ever find yourself in one.

          1. @nerthos Mmm. I know representation on the internet is pretty much irrelevant, but I guess it just makes me worry. For the most part I haven't seen much here in Australia, so I would probably be alright, but that might just be because I've only seen it from my own angle.
            I was looking at the video from this Reddit post http://pny.lv/c20 (#, #) and I feel like one of the few people who thought it was interesting without bringing sex or whatever into it.

                2. @neuraria also you probably shouldn't be linking anything with breasts here... even though it was interesting

                  Monday, 20-Jan-14 07:26:46 UTC from web
                  1. @rarity I guess so. Whoops.

                    1. @neuraria Damn, now I want to delete that post but I don't want to because it contributes to discussion.

                    2. @neuraria at least you didn't link directly to the video

                      Monday, 20-Jan-14 07:28:36 UTC from web
                  2. @rarity Indirect tagged links are OK as far as I know

                    Monday, 20-Jan-14 07:31:21 UTC from web
                    1. @nerthos which is why I pointed it out?

                      Monday, 20-Jan-14 07:32:18 UTC from web
                      1. @rarity As I read it you were saying it was incorrect to link that url

                        1. @nerthos well it probably was, but it's not the end of the world, since it wasn't porn or anything. Just regular artsy nudity

                          Monday, 20-Jan-14 07:35:07 UTC from web
            2. @neuraria I may watch the video later. Bottom line is, you're worrying too much over things you can't change, and you would probably be safer and feel better if you learned how to deal with the situations you fear.

              1. @nerthos "you're worrying too much over things you can't change" My life

                1. @neuraria That's why I said it.

    2. @snowcone Oh definitely. I wasn't trying to say they don't exist. Just. Yeah.
