In all seriousness, there isn't a reason why the serial killer shouldn't be trans. It's just fiction.

They won when they made it taboo for a character to be sexy.

At least this type of censorship has some merit to it. You don't want to demonize minority underrepresented groups and contribute to prejudice toward them.

But, yeah, getting mad over this isn't even a top ten "SJW" offense. I care more about the absence of Mia from Land O Lakes than I do people getting upset because a transphobe makes a villain out of a transvestite.

I dint thibk many people want that. There is more to it then the villain just being a crossdresser. It has pretty much everything to do with recent thinks she has said.

Obviously not.

But when an outspokenly transphobic person writes a trans villain, they should be criticized.

This is just like the outrage of actors stepping down because they didn't fit the demographic of the character they were portraying. Who are YOU to tell a professional writer or actor in what way they can do their job?

Yeah maybe she liked the tweets because the content was aesthetically pleasing and not because she agrees with it. It's like how you can't prove Donald Trump agrees with white supremacists just because he likes what some of them say on Twitter.

where's the off button on this guy

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles made April O'Neal a flat-chested teenager.
Crash Bandicoot made Tawna less sexy.
Birds of Prey de-sexualized Harley Quinn.
Hello Nurse is confirmed not to return for the Animaniacs reboot.
Sara Bellum did not return for the Powerpuff Girls reboot.
The Roger Rabbit prequel was canceled after decades in development hell because Disney doesn't want Jessica Rabbit in the current climate.
Frozen 2 replaced Elsa's sexy dress with a burlap sack looking dress.
Wonder Woman 2 is covering her up in body armor.
80% of women in western video games are strikingly ugly while men still look like human beings.
Various video games from Japan have been denied releases or been viciously censored because, "OMG, boobies!"

I understand if one or two or three companies decide "we're gonna leave sex appeal at the door," but it is a sweeping trend across the board. The most natural, healthiest urge there is -- the desire for an attractive member of a compatible sex -- is being made the biggest taboo.

Why?

Yes. That is fine. But when it's being used as part of someone's bigoted agenda it's not fine.

But they aren't normalized into anything and regularly vilified by many people. You need to normalize positve roles if you hope to normalize antagonistic roles.

Having one or two examples means they're isolated incidents. Compiling a list of examples means you're drunk or insane.

Most if not all of these were just personal choices by the people making the show, game, movie and nothing they were forced to do. You don't have to like it. You do have the right to complain.

Same thing here. She has the right to write what ever she wants and we have the right to complain.

Simple.

So do you respect the opinions of white supremacists? I mean, you can't judge people just because they disagree with you, right?
