My guy, trans women are real, objectifying depictions of them in fiction are imaginary. If you make a stereotypical and dehumanizing representation of a real group of people, I’m afraid that you can’t just say “well, I made it up,” and dissuade any criticism of how this relates to real world politics and its violence. Incredible porn-brained reasoning here.
edit: really starting to notice the influx of redditors on here.
I’d say equating people’s fantasies with real people is the real dehumanizing thing. Rational people are able to separate fantasy and reality… why arent you?
A Lemmy user’s worst nightmare. Somebody finding out what porn they’ve been looking at. Progressive in so many ways except when it comes to porn.

It is crazy how many men get pissed when you tell them that “futa” is a slur; often because “everyone uses it.”
edit: Y’all know you don’t get to tell a marginalised group what is and is not a slur against them, yeah?
Maybe if you’re using it to refer to trans women.
But that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about imaginary furry girls who were either born that way or magicked up a dick somehow.

I’m sorry that you are just now learning that your porn world doesn’t translate to real life.

Why would I want to translate it?
Apparently to spare yourself the debilitating pain of being corrected online.
