Imma be honest, I really don't like the subtext you have there that trans people (which are different from the "trap" trope of porn games, thank you very much) are disingenuous and tricking people... It's fucked up on so many level and outright labels people born different and fighting to feel at ease in their bodies as trying to harm others, that's not cool.As for traps, I find it is far less divisive when it is upfront and obvious. When the character doesn't try to hide what they are. But it still remains divisive, because their appearance alone is kinda-sorta "dishonest" in the way that those seeking to avoid such dishonesty are seeing. I guess a better way to put it than honest and dishonest is "real" and "illusory"? Like, the trap confuses some people's brains by being attractive but also being unattractive in different ways at the same time, such that they are kinda-sorta an illusion insofar as the brain is receiving it? I dunno, I think there is some sort of mechanism in the brain that makes both NTR and traps divisive for some of the same reasons, and I suspect that a great many of the people who object vociferously to both are the same people.
But given how many times I ended up having posts removed because some butthurt transphobe couldn't handle talks about something they don't like, rather than simply block me (I mean come on, have some balls and outright block me instead of crying to the mods, for fuck sake), that I guess when you put it that was, I can see why people get as fuckign pissy against trans characters as the NTR crowd might do.
It makes sort of sense. A sort of sense I fucking hate, mind you, because it shows how fucking unhinged and messed up the people thinking like that are, but still I guess I can see the logic, fucked up as it may be.
