...is It Horrible That The First Thing I Thought Of When Seeing This Guy Was "abortion Pony"

I took a closer look and saw a fancy fur/feather cloak. Now I think they rly simply took Finn's early concept and put it on the henchmen page cuz they never planned designing Slickjaws in the first place since Finn kinda died a season ago.

Yoooo we got a glimpse of Slickjaws henchmen design! Finally. Damn so fancy. Looks like they borrowed some tattoos from early concept of Finn.

you're being transphobic about nico - so u can accept mutsuki as a TRANS MAN but oh no u can't accept nico as a TRANS WOMAN. there's evidence pointing to her being TRANS. she's referred to as "big sister" which is FEMININE, as well as being on the woman's day in the calendar and THE ONLY ONE present on the TRANSGENDER day in the calendar. is it really that hard to add "gender: female" or even UNKNOWN to nico's wiki page?

Oh, I see. So that’s what this is about.

Here we go, Anon. I’ll break things down nicely for you, since it seems you haven’t read anything I have said concerning the issues related to Nico.

Nico’s situation is complicated because of very specific Cultural Contexts. We cannot simply force Western ideas and concepts, because that is Racist and Imperialist. Tokyo Ghoul is a story written by a Japanese man, for a Japanese audience, and shaped by Japanese culture.

Nico is a character written in the mold of the Okama Stereotype, which confuses and combines traits from Effeminate Homosexuals, Transwomen, Non-Binary individuals, and Drag Queens. As I stated, this is a Japanese concept and should not be ignored or pushed aside for Western ideology. The culture, ideas, and experiences of Japanese people are equally valid to those of Westerners.

Nico being called “Big Sister” or other blurring of Gender lines is likewise something tied directly into the Okama Stereotype and Japanese ideas about homosexuality and gender. Many male homosexuals are portrayed using that sort of exaggerated feminine imagery and language, whether Okama or the “Hard Gay” stereotype that involves muscle-bound manly men.

As I’ve stated, these things make figuring things out difficult because many different groups are represented within the stereotype.

In terms of the inclusion in Women’s Day, you……realize that Mutsuki and Nico are on that page together, right? And therefore, that argument opens all sorts of issues up. Treating an Okama as “one of the girls” is very typical in Japanese media.

Unlike you, I actually researched what “Transgender Day” is in Japan. The information I found on it explicitly mentions both Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation. So it covers anyone that doesn’t strictly conform to being Heterosexual and/or Cisgender.

Therefore, it’s a huge question mark.

And concerning the Wiki, I have REPEATEDLY stated I do not personally make those decisions. I am merely an agent that enforces things, people have raised the issue about Nico’s Gender and it hasn’t been passed. Therefore, there really is nothing I cannot do. Don’t pin that on me, because I have rules I have to follow.

I think… I think I did it! I mean, it was smaller than a juniper berry, but I actually felt the ward coming out of my hand! It worked!

Venom: Let There Be Carnage Discarded Content

My Carnage symbiote containment lava lamp came in today to go alongside my Venom one! I don’t usually open items in my collection, but I’m really tempted with these! They’re something every symbiote fan should have!

I have forgotten to share what I’ve been up to lately…
