STOP MAKING TRANSFEMININE SCOTT PILGRIM HEADCANONS

  • PATHETIC LOSER BOYS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE REFLECTIVE OF OUR IDENTITIES
  • YEARS OF FAN INTERPRETATION yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for FINDING YOURSELF IN PEOPLE LIKE THIS
  • Want to identify with ambiguously-white protagonist boys anyway for a laugh? We had a character for that: He was called "JOHN EGBERT"
  • "Yes please make Scott Pilgrim a DYKE. Please give her DYED HAIR" — statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

LOOK at what Scott Pilgrim fans have been demanding your respect for, with all the history and practice of trans headcanons we built for them
(These are REAL Panels done by the REAL Bryan Lee O'Malley)

[panel descriptions: scott emphasizing that knives chau is chinese; some chick saying that scott smells like trash; some background characters saying "is that chick a dude?"/"i'm googling her as we speak"]

"Hello I would like [screenshot of Bryan Lee O'Malley's tumblr where he says 'I've sometimes joked that Scott Pilgrim is my fantasy of being a cute white indie rock boy'] to represent me please"

They have played us for absolute fools

couldn't think of another character that fit the criteria and while i tend to agree with o'malley that he got what he deserved where scott being white in the movie was concerned i'll grant that the comic leaves room for him to be otherwise. then again, placing this comic on the same level as homestuck might be damnation with faint praise lol
