as a transfem he was always the character i was most likely to play in mario games without any explicitly feminine options

love a dude whose relationship with masculinity is flexible and leaves room for expression of emotions

feel like theres room here to say that like. a lot of the frustrations many have with modern norms of masculinity end up in a form that reifies it, equates it with the whole of what masculinity can be;

but it's absolutely very possible to instead criticize these behaviors and norms in a way that gives the men entangled in them alternative expressions of masculinity they can turn to, ones that preserve and uphold their manhood

as well as acknowledging that both men and everyone else is negatively impacted by these norms, albeit in very different ways; the "hating men" framing focuses more on the people surrounded by men, and argues that they are the "oppressed" in the situation, even though this framing also contributes to the marginalization of black men, latino men, trans men, etc etc, thus undermining its alleged focus on the oppressed
