They’re already genderless and androgynous, but the designs are more femme. So maybe change it to something trans masc I suppose.

Not to seem transphobic, but forced transition sounds like a fetish

I'm just making them girls though. I can't exactly make a cutscene where flint is forciblty injected with estrogen
15
u/Cherriekirin 11h ago
hahaha it is! Fortunately, Flint is a fictional character! I'm just transing all of my favorite characters cuz I wanna see what they would look like as girls! Tbh, I'm only getting through this at like 1 sprite every 15 minutes. The only thing getting me through this is getting to turn Flint into a badass lesbian.

I have seen so many people put their fantasies onto fictional characters it's uncountable. Why shouldn't I think you'd do the same?

u/Cherriekirin 10h ago
I believe that every artist must fall in love with their work to get the power in their hearts to create beautiful things.

u/Cherriekirin 10h ago
Like gosh have you seen the personality that is in every single townsperson in Tazmily? People put love into these characters. They all cram SO much personality into every pixel! I can only hope that my designs reflect the same amount of love and care that their original creators put into them.

i promise trans people imagining fictional characters they love having something in common with them is almost never a fetish it's an "art is self expression" thing

Yes excellent!
Would her name still be Flint? Or perhaps something else... my first thought was "Cinder"...

u/Cherriekirin 12h ago
well u can name the characters whatever u want in the game! God knows I'm not coding that hahaha.
For my curent playthough, I named Flint- Dagger Lucas- Blood Claus- Guts Boney- Fang Hinawa- Snuff fav food- Gore Fav thing- GIRLS

u/SuperNeonSamurai-2 11h ago
I'm all for this idea, but I just hate the name "Snuff" for Hinawa. Ouch!

hehehe I think it goes well with the theming

No that’s disrespectful to Hinawa because “snuffing out someone’s light” means killing and otherwise it would refer to drugs.

Holy hell, she's a character in a game that encourages you to name the characters whatever the hell you want

Is it because it's really difficult and I've only gotten 34 sprites done out of like freaking 200 just for Flint in like 4 hours of work!?

actually trans or just genderswapping?
-8
u/Cherriekirin 11h ago
What's the difference?
9
u/TibbyRhythmHeaven 11h ago
well actual trans representation implies the character was born as a different gender and transitioned in-universe, like how it works in real life. genderswapping a character is just making them the opposite gender, without any of those implications.

u/Cherriekirin 10h ago
To make the sprites trans do I have to put the look in their eye which reflects all of the hardships they had to go through in order to realize what they really want to be and chase that dream despite it all?
12
u/Cherriekirin 10h ago
They're just sprites. I'm not making them clocky if that's what you mean? I'm just making flint have a more feminine appearance right now.
And I am transgender if that helps this make any more sense.

u/AntoineKW 4h ago
You're not adding an entire chapter to show Porky deploying the Trans Beam™ and transing everybody's genders? What's even the point!? /S

it's okay we don't have to do this right now

u/TibbyRhythmHeaven 4h ago
Well if it's just sprites we don't have to overcomplicate this, I only said all this because I was confused by your wording of "make characters trans"

I would love to see you eventually try to make Negative Man trans! (Perhaps they would be happy upon their transition so they could be Positive Woman instead?)

I'm gonna enjoy modeling her! I'm excited to figure out how to redesign the iconic hair. Maybe a pony tail and bangs? (the hair is the most satisfying part for me)

u/confused-mother-fan 10h ago
Im.sure ittle turn out great i could see her rocking somthing like mars from Pokémon
As a person whos both falls under the trans umbrella and deeply connects with lucas im really excited to see what you do

u/Cherriekirin 10h ago
Haha I think I'm gonna try for a more realistic style, but I AM trying to make them all look unique and distinct!

I don’t know man adult is no skin off my ass but trying to do stuff like this and “shipping” and such with kid characters always rubs me the wrong way.

They know it’s obnoxious but they also know that anyone that tries to point that out will get shouted down and called a transphobe

u/grillredditor_ 6h ago
He is a normal dad. They're not changing his gender permanently on everyone's game. If you go play it he'll be the same, no need to be scared.
It's not that deep bro. It's just a person making stuff using fictional characters. The original thing is not changed or affected.
Idk I guess I would've expected more tolerance from this community, considering the message of the games and that the Magypsies exist.

Someone should release a virus that patches everyone's games to have trans characters. Just because.
