#Mizu gets mad the one time anyone refers to him as a woman in the present time and you expect me to believe this man isn't a tboy

Blue Eye Samurai Rant

So I'm cursed with the knowledge that the creators/wikipedia page/every single instance of media coverage of Blue Eye Samurai explicitly made Mizu canonically fEmALe and I hate this?? I've read the Jane Wu interview and everything and I understand where she's coming from and the show's worth watching and there's a lot of obvious talent and writing chops that went into making it but it also woulda been so much cooler and frankly more compelling if the creators weren't CIS like frfr how the hell are you going to put so much painfully, glaringly obvious queer/trans coding and transmasc trauma into quite literally every aspect of a focal character and then deny me trans Mizu with all these quotes about how "She's an unconventional woman suppressed by the oppressive patriarchy of her time"?? I don't care how reasonable this complaint is I'm fucking ANNOYED, this is a MAN and the world owes me this much

#blue eye samurai #mizu blue eye samurai #netflix #transgender #transmasc #“this trans man who lives as a man is just doing it for utility” my ass #he's literally binding #trans character #Oda and Fujimoto still the only people giving me the trans masc representation I crave frfr #trans #Mizu gets mad the one time anyone refers to him as a woman in the present time and you expect me to believe this man isn't a tboy #also someday I'll throw in my two cents as a Wasian and talk about how Blue Eye Samurai handles race but I am TIRED #for the record it's alright and clearly considerate but there's more room for nuanced exploration of identity
