Went to Adepticon about 2 years ago and it was exactly as youre describing. Full mask nazi with fat faggots huffing around yelling at you for any minor infraction. The one memory that is burned into my skull, unfortunately, is when I locked eyes with, and I swear to god, a real life version of troonjak. I mean literally take that fucking picture and give it physical form. The shitty 5 dollar purple wig. The fluorescent, ruby red lipstick that looked like a 7 year old went at their lips with markers. The whorish purple glitter mascara you see at the dollar store. The dude HAD to be in his fucking 40s if not older. It was like seeing a cartoon character in real life.Nothing makes this more apparent than going to Gencon. If you've been there in the last few years absolutely everything has to have representation. They even have the nerve to slap up anti-bullying signs so if you anger one of the chosen they can just boot you out.
Double dumbass points because you'd think someone so fucking intent on change and a new identity would put in even a LITTLE bit of effort to their appearance. Watch a make up tutorial, learn how to style your wig, fucking ANYTHING.
Nope, just lazy bottom of the barrel bullshit. The lowest effort required simply to become one of The Chosen so you can't be made fun of anymore because then it'd be "transphobic." Fuck these freaks.
My personal gripe is their outright refusal to integrate with the existing hobby or fanbase.It annoys me that they have to insert whatever ideologically approved messaging in no matter how hamfisted or out of place it might be. I understand why they do it (far easier/disruptive to infest established hobbies/fandoms/etc) but like, follow your own sanctimonious advice of 'well just go make your own thing, bigot.'
I don't care about making hobbies or things 'inclusive' or whatever. But I view that as 'don't be a rude or a dipshit to new people. Be welcoming, invite people in and let people try things' not 'kowtow and cater to a group that suddenly demanded special treatment.' I've never had a problem encouraging people to try or check out things I was into regardless of who they were as a person. Some people stuck around, some didn't.
Seeing the level of shit people in various hobbies have to contend with these days just to enjoy something that brings them joy is ridiculous. I'm glad people are starting to put their fucking foot down. Just sucks that it resulted in the salting of the earth of a number of things I used to enjoy.
Oh, this exists? And its existed for way longer than Ive been involved? Well TOO FUCKING BAD. Everything has to change now because Im a tranny and I want to be a part of this hobby now and everything has to revolve around me! ME! ME! ME! Thats all that matters! Fuck traditions, fuck history, etiquette, etc. If it doesnt cater to my newds specifically then I will put all of you on blast for gatekeeping and bigotry!
