I happened to see the original tweet and it was a joke that said "I'm not like the other girls, I'm trans" with a kiss blowing emoji. Apparently other trans people took it as a huge offense/insult and have been sending her death threats.
Sure is another day ending in Y on Tranny Twitter.
I've been seeing more of that "violent backlash over minor ideological infraction" stuff going on recently on Twitter, particularly among furfags. I wonder whether they're finally coming down from their election high and jonesing for a new enemy now that they can't just reply to Orange Man's tweets anymore.
The orange man’s corpse has been picked clean and the piranhas, still ever hungry for something to bite into, are eyeing each other. At times I think of a passage in Moby-Dick wherein a dead whale is swarmed by hungry sharks, and they go into such a bloodthirsty frenzy that they eat each other and themselves.
This has been an increasing tension over the last few years thanks to the "TUCUTE" ideology cementing itself.
With that much overlap furries have with troons these days, I figure I might as well ask it here: just what the fuck is "tucute" supposed to mean? As in, the etymology of the word, I know what it stands for. "Truscum" makes sense, but "tucute" has always baffled me, and even transgender people I talk to don't know the answer either.
I don't think it stands for anything besides "you can be trans if you want to without dysphoria". It's probably just meant to be read literally as "too cute" and make the trender ideology seem cute and harmless and anyone who disagrees and thinks you need dysphoria is "scum".
You know, I thought I was fully aware of how petty and childish these people were but I keep finding ways to surprise myself.
I was actually on tumblr when this originated/followed some of the users who started it and that's pretty much exactly it, although it was a little more self involved. Iirc it was less about their own ideology seeming cute and more because they thought they themselves were cute.
That's a funny way of saying Tomboy.
It originated from trendy bullshit posted by dumb teen girls on Tumblr who said they were "too cute to be cis" and being "uwu smol bean" fake trans men or even less effort, just claiming to be nonbinary and changing nothing about themselves. But don't you DARE imply that they aren't actually trans, or they'd chimp out at you. Even the true and honest trannies grew to hate them, and too-cute (rewritten as tucute) became an insult/label for them.
i thought our very own troon kat coined it originally.
She and her friends did. I used to follow them for a laugh back in ~2015 or so when the term was coined.
"Tucute" is short for "too cute to be cis." It means people who think gender dysphoria is somehow not required to be transgender. It was created by the Tumblrite idislikecispeople, a cisgender girl who pretended to be an MtF transgender woman for attention and ass pats while she spewed vitriol against cisgender people and FtM transgender men. I don't know if she created the word "truscum" as well but she certainly helped popularize it. "Truscum" is short for "true transsexual scum" and refers to people who understand gender dysphoria is in fact required to be transgender. People under the tucute banner would prostrate themselves as preaching self love while calling sufferers of gender dysphoria bitter self loathing scumbags who want other people to hate themselves, too.
All this "I'm a trans masc AFAB enby because I don't like skirts and like being tough" bullshit is just reinforcing the same traditionalist gender roles and stereotypes these people ironically claim to be dismantling. They're no different than the hardcore fundamentalists who say a man who cries must be gay or a woman who cuts her hair short must be a lesbian. Just look at troons like Strype who think a man that suffers from social anxiety and doesn't like conflict isn't a man. But it's okay when they reinforce gender roles that are detrimental to men's mental health because they're doing it in the name of "progress."
So, in short, Strype drew so many big-tittied robotic dickgirls they forgot they're a flesh-and-blood human being first and foremost?
Ain't this the truth lol. I followed her for a while and wound up unfollowing and muting because I got so tired of her meltdowns covering my TL. I like her art fine but holy hell does she ever constantly have some kind of usually imagined drama going on. Fuck man, like a month ago or whatever when she was going on a tirade about how she as a True Man should be able to show pictures of her tits on twitter without it being nsfw, someone in the replies pointed out that a lot of people still considered tits nsfw for kids and that it was kind of wrong of her to be flashing minors and she blew this up into this person calling her a pedophile. Genuinely surprised she doesn't have a thread tbh.
