im so sick of the whole “who has it worst” mentality. “trans women have it worse than trans men!” “pansexuals have it worse than bisexuals!” “gay people have it worse than PoC!” like. who fucking cares who has it “worst”. this is REAL LIFE not the fucking oppression olympics and y’all treating it like that isn’t helping anyone and is turning minorities against eachother when we should be supporting eachother
So I got to write about LGBT characters in video games for WatchMojo.com and the video got posted today. I’m super happy that I got to write the script for it… and super amused/not even remotely surprised at comments like, “Why not do top 10 Straight Characters next,” because… it’s Youtube, but kudos to the amount of, “Please to be shutting up,” responses to said comments.
Anyhow, here’s the video! Also, there’s some spoilers (not too many), but just wanted to throw the warning out there.
where is paper mario vivian???
Reblogging because Vivian is a great choice, too! Definitely an honorable mention in my heart <3
For those who don’t know, in the original Japanese version of the game, Vivian is transgender and identifies as female even if characters say that she’s male. This isn’t in the English version.
A big factor in our choices is user votes, too. People can actually vote on who should make the top ten and I was happy to see so many choices, and even happier that it was tough to narrow it down to ten :) So even if she didn’t make the list she definitely deserves a shout out.
that’s strange because the french version clearly shows that she wants to be refereed to a girl but her sisters don’t want to D:
Yeah, I should’ve said “US” version, our version had that part removed.

EDIT: Just as a heads up, some reactions in the video may not be the best in regards to the characters’ sexuality (as in, some characters may not agree with another character being part of the lgbt family), which in no way reflects my feelings. It’s part of the story, and sometimes, stories have people who react poorly to us, but that doesn’t make us any less awesome.
Also, sometimes, people who react poorly need time to adjust (lord knows I have personal experiences with that and coming out), so even if the initial reaction isn’t the best, there’s a chance that, overtime, that person will come around. Certainly don’t put your life on hold waiting for someone’s approval, but also be open to the idea that maybe, someday, they’ll stand with you on this :)
Insecure thoughts are going to happen, they just will. Even with all of my confidence I still have that paranoid voice in my head, that kid who was called “weird” for liking anime and video games, she still talks to me like, “They’re going to make fun of you,” “Remember when they made fun of you,” and I do worry – that’s normal. The worrying stops when the cosplay is done, I put it on, I look into the mirror, and I smile. Focus on that feeling of accomplishment when you finish that cosplay, because the only person you need to impress with your cosplay is you.
I wanted to share an interview my wifey and I got to do for Geek x Girls about our cosplay and body positivity and all that good stuff :)
All cosplay is made by my wifey Snow Tigra:) (and occasionally designed by me, like the Mario dress)
This is the story of a geeky anime/gaming gal by the name of Chibi. Please fasten your seat belts and prepare for... some sort of ride? Oh! I love to write, and I also love doing crafty things. I go to conventions with my partner and sell woodburned things, clocks, mirrors, and more! So expect to see those on here too :)
