A little request to some people in the community.
Grow up.
I didn't open Reddit today at all, and when I get in to post my COTD, I find myself with a lot of controversy and hate and discrimination just because a -now deleted- user decided to make a submod that allows to transition your Monika and that burned the hell out of several people.
Well, I want to say a few quick little things to you:
- i love this community, and I'm feeling so welcome here, but man up. People are absolutely free to customize their Monika as they consider best, and if they decide to make their Monika a trans man, they can, they'll do, and if that makes you feel uncomfortable, IT'S YOUR PROBLEM, not theirs. You work on that if you have to work on it, because it will keep happening, just because that kind of Monika matches several people and their identities and needs and YOU HAVE TO RESPECT THAT.
I'm not saying agreeing to it, nor accepting it, but respect it, and that is a must. It's not negotiable.
-Said that, you have to understand that we're living in a society that changes on a daily basis, and that includes how people perceive and identify themselves. Again, it's your problem if that makes you feel uncomfortable. It's your responsibility to work on that and to acquire the necessary emotional resources for you to transit your life and spending time here without that kind of posts and/or topics bothering the heck out of you.
Man up, people. Accept that, as you're free to share your Monika and we will always welcome you with open arms, we will welcome them too and we, as a community, will demand respect to them.
Hope you have a good night.
