>>22949167>idk how anime plays into it but i think that's more of a symptom if anythingAnd the symptom might be pure image, seeing profiles with anime images and "they/them" on the bio. Also memes play a role on extend the effect
> it would be hard to tell whether it created any "trannies", but i don't think it didNo, of course it didn't. Anime and manga might influence people to think or behave in certain ways, even if those ways are mostly cringe. For now, I haven't seen any important anime-like media that encourage people to the "Transgender ways". Sure, there have been crossdressers and ambiguous gender characters in different works since way back. I don't know if intentional, so I won't speculate any further
So far I've seen one character that is supposed to represent the "transgender struggle", and that would be one character in a manga/anime called "Blue Period", the long-haired blonde one, I don't know the name because I haven't watch it lmao
The other one is from "Umineko no Naku Koro Ni", but I don't even know the name or how the character look like lol. This one, as far as I'm concerned, is like a cornerstone on "representation of trans people" in anime-like media. But I wouldn't say it's something that serious. I mean, people arguing about that character's gender are from Xwitter, so that explains everything
