Feel free to check their page, lol. I also blocked them so they can't respond back x3

aww i missed it XD

Honestly, it was worth it xD

Obviously this is real life and you should go back and systematically change every 'herm' tag to 'brave_beautiful_trans_woman.' It's only fair.

Edit: Also, I can't remember the exact rules for what constitutes a "callout journal" but this might be hitting it. Just be aware of it.

*nods* if anything comes of it, ill just remove it, or edit it for wrong speak and make it more PC and all that jazz. *seriously id probably just remove it if it gets that bad*

it's amazing that some people can't tell the difference between a herm and a trans person.

also it's funny that they have "I remove rude comments, don't be that guy" in their shout box.

lol oh the irony

that's exactly what I was thinking.

The best thing you can do is not respond at all.

Being trans myself, I'm sort of familiar with how they usually fight their fight and anything you say can- and will be spread around within their own circles as hate speech no matter what you say, usually trying to stir up trouble for you in the process.

Silence is your only option when dealing with these people as they refuse to leave others be and go far out of their way to find fights with others in the hopes that they can bully you into yielding to their demands.

sadly, i already tried around the time i got the message, but they seemed to had blocked me the moment they posted. but yeah, i know i can be a bit stubborn, but ill try my best to suppress it and let it go. even though i know theyre not the same, and that he/she should have read the freaking tags instead of having a "galaxy brain" moment, but i guess thats just how things are now days.

I suspect the person did a search on the word "trans" and the engine picked up your art series because of "transformation". Said person got embarassed at their mistake and in typical immature fashion, lashed out at you for "causing them distress" and whatnot.

..why do i see "this gave me PTSD" and "REEEEE" memes pop up in my head? anyways, theres no telling really. probably just chalk it up to "FA being FA" and move on. also, nice hearing from you again....really been meaning to chat, but...i just feel like id be bothering you most of the time XD

Civility is dead, welcome to outrage culture.
I am pretty much at the same point =3= I can't call myself a herm ( cause I like the name ) without people getting outraged over it... is why I struggle and just don't say it in public anymore.

yeah. it seems like everyone wants to be angry at something. lol, if anything, i dont mind as many use to go by the sex of their sonas/character, which was something i grew into when joining the community way back in 04, i just never really used the whole Hir, Shi, Sie, Hie pronouns as i felt like it was a bit derogatory or something....oh god, i just realized im just like him! *screams*

nah but seriously, i never yelled at others for it, as it would have been silly to cause crap over something silly like that. but it did make it easier to figure out who was herm or not....unless they had a nice bulge in their pants XD

Oh well... I have it a bit more difficult in such cases @3@
English is not first language and I never know if a offensive/degrading connotation to it. I never grew up with the language and het the words from dictionaries and translators. I try nog to hurt people with my words so I try to be careful when somebody tells me those are bad words.

=3= but it really feels like everything and even more words become offensive these days... finding the right balance becomes almost like a mine field.

I honestly can't tell the difference, but I know that I gotta be mindful because some people hate to be called the sex they are trying not to be or "change" into? (Apparently you can do that with pills instead surgery)

This was and interesting case I saw with a friend of another friend in VRchat.

Either way, I'd say is easier or less drama-inducing to ask or read tags rather than ASSume, but that wasn't the case here it seems.

yeah. i try to do the same. but yeah, i think im just going to make it clear the my characters are herms or trans sexuals or shemales or male herms ect, from now on, that or i could just stop giving this troll attention XD. im really bad about ignoring trolls at times.

You know what do do it to give them validation Xp!

yeah i know...in typical bigshow fashion, i feed the troll and let them get under my skin.

I meant to say don't do it*

ah, ok. yeah, like i mentioned, id probably just make it a simple warning...or just not worry about it at all XD

Not bothering works really As well when it says herm it's close enough

trans slur
users (f*ta, herm, dickgirl, c-boy, etc.)

Futa: shortening of "Futanari", japanese for hermaphroditism
Herm: Having both male and female parts
Dickgirl: A female with a male organ
C-boy: A male with a female organ.

None of these things refer to a person who has undergone the clinical process to change their gender.

b-but muh pronouns.....
eh, they probably just doing it to virtue signal as a friend told me in a PM.

Yeah, it's a lost cause.

Actually man fuck that retard. Block them and delete their shout. they are nothing but a cumstain wanting validation and attention. plus, they offended me by telling me to not be that guy! When i identify as an angry starfish!

I'm glad I am old and really couldn't give a flying what someone thinks about what I do if they are not the subject of what I'm doing.

Ignore the dumb-asses who decide you're a good target to vent at because they are having a bad day. The character isn't them. It's not drawn for them. It has absolutely nothing to do with them. So, why the flying F are they butt hurt about it?

Really, there is a weird, growing unearned feeling of entitlement going around with immature people who now think they're special because they think they are the "underappreciated minority of the day".

I'm tolerant as all hell until someone starts attacking things that aren't ever related to them. It comes down to a simple "Mind your own business" attitude with me. It's not about them. Don't even know who they are. Why do they give a damn what the character is? Don't look at it. Move along. They need to grow the fuck up and get a life.

Hear hear, Hell man you would think people would keep some stupid shit to themselves over a tag. besides they are butthurt cause "I am woke and all the degenerates are not!' type of personality

"ugh, how dare this cis incel label these trans women as herms! im going to leave a nasty comment on his page and then block him so he cant reply, it'll be like i won and made him look like a loser huehuehue"

also, i identify as a shrubbery XD

Are you purchasable from a man in a wagon?

nah, from a shady hunchback british guy in the trench coat....strangah

ikr? it seems like as a friend told me, someone that just want to virue signal....on a furry art site. im pretty much the same as you, and id even go out of my way to try to explain things to them if they were to approach things in a civil manner, but that wasnt the case and they thought it was their duty to "put me in my place" or whatever it is these sjw types do.

Their page contains a very wordy attempt at a meme talking about how "damaging" words are to "tHe TrAnS cOmMuNiTy", give an inch they'll take a mile, just leave them alone

yeah, not liek i can reply back to them, but, im just not going to bother with them. was going to use this as a future disclaimer but i dont want to draw anymore attention to them so i might just use a simple herm warning :3

Boy, I'll bet this person must hate F-list!

lol

I hate it when previously acceptable and embraced terms are suddenly deemed offensive. Same thing comes up with BBW, SSBBW, BHM, and similar. People seem to consider those offensive now too. I feel like it's just random people searching for a thing to be offended and upset about so they can make their mark or something. I think we should just ignore their complaints and use the terms we want for our characters or that the commissioner likes.

i mean, its not like it would have taken forever to just look at the tags, or ask in a civil manner. nope, muh feels and assumptions means i can be an ass to you but you cant to me. also...now people are getting upset over BBW? what, oh let me guess..."cause its body shaming?" or some dump crap like that?

Well, that was certainly out of left field.

I myself don't have any patience for the "lol attack helicopter" crowd myself, but at the same time...Yeah, they need to pick their fights a little better.

as someone who use to pick poor battles to make a stand on....yes, they really should have XD

Reading that profile gave me HIV.

its almost as bad as Spiderman 3 XD
