I can absolutely believe Empress is a woman, I don't think you guys grasp the significant difference between outward persona and the shit women say in private/groupchats. Add anonymity to it and you've got the recipe for unleashing all the pent up rage that has been building for years, knowing it won't affect her social grandstanding.
Hating trannies publicly is social death, and even the spergiest autists have some realisation that this is the case. It's why trans polls are never going to be anywhere NEAR accurate because even in an anonymous poll there's a possibility that it's being recorded, so people will yass queen slayyyy to trannies before venting to their bestie how disgusting that creepy man in a dress was earlier.
I am willing to accept that women are autistic enough to crack videogames. I am willing to accept that women are a lot more candid in private/behind anonymity than they are in public.
What I am not willing to accept is that Empress is a Gen Z woman.
I was trying not to go Full Autism here but I feel I must insist.
Empress did an interview with Wired in February of 2021 (
found here). In this article she makes several claims that sound more like a millenial male than a gen z female.
Aside from her chosen handle, the only indication of her gender came in a fiery Reddit post from late October, addressed to “all the GENDER FREAKS out there who keep claiming out of their own ass that I am male.” In an interview with WIRED, Empress said, “i am 23 years old, and i am beautiful AS HELL. but i don't care 1 bit how i ‘look.’ i care of what i ‘Do.’”
I already went into this quote on a previous post, but a woman's response to being called a male wouldn't be "I am 23 year years old and I am beautiful as hell" (which, it is just occurring to me now that this is not directly denying being male). A woman trying to stay under the radar in a male-dominated community is not gonna give her exact age to all of the rabid stalkers and haters and simps.
She says her pivotal shōnen-character-development moment turned on Atari’s little-known, poorly reviewed 2011 online racing game Test Drive Unlimited 2—which, of course, she loves. When the studio that developed it shut down, she says, she had trouble accessing the game.
First of all, shōnen manga's target audience is
boys, so the reference to a "shōnen-character-development moment" already raises eyebrows. Secondly, I am willing to believe that a woman would have a lifelong grudge over one of her favorite videogames suddenly being shut down, but I struggle to believe that favorite viedogame would be
Test Drive Unlimited 2.
Empress says that as a child she was a “very strange girl who did not like the ‘Real World’ as much as other people seem to.” More than the average gamer, she says, she has always taken games seriously not just as a way to pass the time, but as places to go and be. She loved Tetris on the NES, for when she wanted to “go ‘beyond’ the human limits in terms of ‘Response’ and ‘creativity.’” She loved Megaman 1, “for philosophical reasons that people do not understand.” For more standard reasons, she liked Little Samson and Adventures of Kirby.
These are all NES games from the late 80s and early 90s. I am willing to believe that women played NES games in their childhood, but 23-year old women?
I call bullshit.
