My story with the game is that I didn’t want to get made fun of for playing as a girl, so I roleplayed as black instead of playing a self insert.

    One of the things about the trans masc experience. Nobody fucking questioned me playing as boy… ever. They were also still surprised Pikachu face when I came out as trans despite me dressing like a male poke-protagonist since the moment I got to choose my own clothes and not wear hand-me-downs.

    I wholeheartedly wish to take a bat to the patriarchy so that our AMABs can finally be free and girl option is not looked at as some kind of innately less cool failure state. I hope future gens of humans will never need hesitate about what poke-protagonist they wanna be the very best like no one ever was with …for any reason other than debating the preference of outfits.
