huh, the amount of people who perceived themes other than eugenics and transhumanism in regards to evolution in phyrexia is very interesting to me

#just. Huh! #i get the aesthetic appeal dont get me wrong the entire design for phyrexia is very cool #but considering the core philosophies behind the creation of original phyrexia and how that bleeds into new phyrexia #the amount of people i see who go to great lengths to kind of. twist it into a leftist or trans symbol is fascinating #when at its core its based upon an ideology that seeks to ''perfect'' perceived ''flaws'' like being transgender #but at the same time transhumanism and the idea of changing your body to something optimal is also heavily significant #thematically when it comes to trans stories. especially when considering the perception of so many people that transitioning is somehow #a mutilation of the human body that turns someone into a monster (wrong). so i can see why other trans people #would identify with phyrexia in that vein. being seen as monsters for undergoing such a procedure #for me phyrexia and the procedure behind phyresis has always come off more as an allegory #for medical procedures done to ''perfect/fix'' the unwilling. forced reassignment for intersex people or lobotomization of the disabled #sterilization of the “undesireable”. #esp with yawgmoths (self proclaimed eugenicist though his writer was kinda confused abt what eugenics actually is) #malpractice and violence upon the masses and views on race and the reverence that phyrexia (his creations of course) hold for hi #*him #and the facets of that worship which continued to exist into new phyrexia
