Trans girls deserve love. Trans girls deserve respect. Trans girls deserve $20. Give a trans girl $20.

So apparently on twitter there's a whole thing going on where anti-woke Warhammer fans performatively stormed out by declaring that they were going to play the horror-themed WWI wargame Trench Crusade instead, only to be mass-banned from its discord because the moderators didn't want a bunch of paleocon trolls stinking up the place.

The thing that blows my mind isn't just that they thought the thoroughly subversive Trench Crusade was positive Christian rep, but that they thought Warhammer 40,000 was. The setting where the messiah is explicitly dead and rotting and was an anti-religion crusader in life. Meanwhile Warhammer Fantasy's Sigmar is much more Thor than Jesus. A lot of conservative evangelicals and tradcaths seem to fall into liking straight up pagan gods if they have a sufficiently macho and traditionalist (western European) aesthetic.

Honestly, this is beyond media illiteracy, it's just straight-up blindness. Obliviousness beyond even the people who think Robocop and Starship Troopers are gung-ho pro-American action movies. Now I'm left to wonder how many fans of the Blasphemous game series are passionate reactionary Christians who get the happy feelings from the aesthetics and totally ignore the story and themes.

Still, I am glad to have learned about Trench Crusade through this, looks like a cool game. Aesthetic and themes kind of remind me of the Trench Foot/Countrycide mod for Doom (which, granted, started off as a Warhammer 40K mod...).

Absolutely bonkers that I'm now one of those weirdos you hear about on Twitter

I'm tired of being a debate, a topic, a conversation, a talking point. I don't want to read how my existence is an inherent threat to the rights of others.

I'm tired of being treated like my choices should be taken and validated by those "qualified" to assess if I'm faking. I'm tired of being told there is a need for someone else to understand the consequences of a decision that only affects me.

I'm tired of everybody having an opinion about the harmless changes I make to my body and I'm tired of them expressing those opinions through nothing but cruelty and bigotry.

Just leave trans folks alone.
