But you aren't. You're imagining it now as you read about it and you imagined it when/if you played Hanako's route.

I know you're trying to troll me

Which I know doesn't do your situation justice at all, but I don't know if anything I could come up with to say would really capture just how terrible of an experience that is, particularly without sounding lame and detached. And I can absolutely understand you not wanting to discuss that, but I have to assume that if you seriously didn't want to talk about it, some internet-stranger's curiousity wouldn't be worth a damn.

But I'll say the same thing about you that I say about Hanako. Most people don't have to go through anything that difficult. My past is rough compared to the average person and I lay it down as fact that it doesn't hold a candle to yours (pun seriously fucking not intended, but I can't come up with a better turn of phrase). The fact that you're still here, an emotionally functional individual, says volumes about your character and your ability to perservere (even though, in Hanako's case, that perserverence came at the expense of just about any social contact whatsoever).

We're all stronger individuals for the trials we've faced. I suppose you could say you've literally been through the fire (pun intended this time, and it's terrible of me but I'm a strong believer in being able to joke about our pasts, so I hope you're okay with it). And if I knew you in person, I'm sure you'd have the presence of personality that would make me want to get to know you better. It's just a shame that some people in our world decide to base their opinions of people on petty bullshit.

But I doubt you need a pep-talk from me. I'm sure you get this sort of untrue sympathy a lot (untrue in the sense that I'm literally incapable of imagining that scenario). And I'm honestly just trying to come up with a way to end this post that doesn't seem... wrong. For being adept at the english language, I can be terribly clumsy once I start rambling.

Oh, I'm as shy as she is too. The only big difference between her and me is gender.I only do electronic stuff like this because my therapist thought it would help, since nobody can see what I look like and judge me. And they said I should perhaps try bringing this situation up because with KS, you guys are the closest to understanding, or at least sympathizing. They were right. Thank you for the kind words, but don't burden yourself on my account.

Even granting your "loose" use of the term, you're using it wrong unless you also apply a very loose definition of "antagonistic" (like 'noticing something wrong and casually pointing it out', which seems to be your usage here) in which case everyone is trolling most of their time and specifically mentioning my doing so becomes redundant.

Cry me a river. -_- And "shemale" isn't "transphobic". It's a fusion of words denoting the sexes, appropriately applied to denote...Both sexes.

You're gonna make me cry bro T-T

Just so you know, if I knew you in real life, I'd never judge you for the way you look. I'd probably want to be best buds with you. (Not just because you share a similar story with a character I admire, but because I like being friendly towards people).

You're not spoiling the jokes. You're just being whiny about the jokes while vomiting the word 'transphobic' all over the place despite nobody here expressing any transphobic tendencies. And while it's your right to do all of that, it's my right to view it as being overly sensitive and delusional. And stupid.

The thing is that, as i understand it, things are seriously terrible for transgender people in the recent times, so while it isn't really "right" to ask someone to alter their speech because of a personal condition (like being offended at the use of transphobic) i believe this is a special case. Also i wouldn't be so sure of how innocent the jokes in here were, even if no one really held any hostile intent towards tsu.
