    I still remember when I first saw this on Reddit the name of ruawri (including the trans flag) was cut off and people were insulting her in the comments how she was self-absorbed, “character looks nothing like her”, “she wishes she looked like that”, “women always make themselves in video games”, etc.

    When it turns out she is trans now suddenly it’s sweet and wholesome and got featured at Respectful Memes. People are hypocrites.

      Different people with different context and at different times behave differently?

      I should use this as the basis for my thesis, thank you ParsnipWitch!

        Still a dick move to be mean about it if she wasn’t trans. Even with the “different context” it’s just people being rude to someone who really does look like their character, which isn’t exactly cool either.

        Holy fuck, but TomatoRogue is in another thread explaining to everyone how people all behave the exact same in all contexts and at all times! I don’t know who to believe anymore.

      I don’t expect people who leave such comments would suddenly be supportive after finding out she’s trans. For what it’s worth, I missed the trans part at first and just thought it was neat.

      Have you considered that Reddit is full of toxic incels propagandized to by GG?
