We all just forgetting all the stupid shit he did? The harrassing trans women? The literal trap content in the year of our orb 2023???? Rita here has the right of it. Tons of people are just spineless shitheels looking for reasons to hate anyone they can't call a trap and not get shit for it.

Literally. I hope everyone who said that Finn5ter was better at being a woman than trans women realize what they did
I mean even if they don't identify as a "trans woman" she is still very much transfem
My only bit is i wish she didn't do all those 'haha trap' types of videos :/
I'm less annoyed by her than I am by all the people who kept pointing to her and going "Wow what a complex gender! (man who looks like a woman)"
Like conceptually Girl Month was funny and the phrase itself is funny but once it became clear that this was becoming an actual transition the constant and unending focus on her turned real annoying and transmisogynistic real fast. I'm sure a few years from now she'll reflect on her behavior and what transmisogynistic tropes she leaned into and regret it, but I don't hold the same expectations of her loudest supporters.
Like I dunno, I know a lot of trans women who had a very messy transition / egg-cracking or who were awful people before and turned out much better on the other side. Even just queer people in general, like Tyler, The Creator often times do a lot of homophobic or transphobic shit before they come out because they're acting out whatever bigotry they inherited from broader society and don't know how to reckon with their own queerness. I was a huge homophobe in middle school because I KNEW I was bi and I HATED it.
Also F1nn apologized repeatedly for those videos and took them down.
Holding it over them is kinda rude ngl
Oh thats fine then
Also i just watched them+read the comments and the majority are positive ones so im ok with it now
They did but they also after the fact did a livestream of a similar type of thing which was gross of them
Like. Besides the whole "Tricking people into thinking I'm a girl" video thing, which it sounds like was an editor or friend or something naming the videos without her approval, I'm just.
Frustrated that she got so much support from the jump, purely because she was pretty. If she was doing "girl month" for the last few years and was ugly during it, or even just average? I suspect that the reception would've been very, very different. It just... Sucks to see how much of our support is contingent on how fuckable people find us.
And, like. Yes, this is jealousy. I wish I could have the kind of support and kindness that she got during exploration. It feels unfair that everything is so hard for so many of us, just because it all doesn't come quite so naturally.
That's transmisogyny, being measured against patriarchal standards of femininity while being denied any of the few benefits it provides those who CAN fit the mold.

f1nn5ter didnt come out as a trans woman actually, he came out as genderfluid + uses any pronouns :) gf and i watched the coming out video together. id agree that f1nn has posted some questionable content in the past but has always apologized when they’ve misstepped. and i hope f1nn isn’t unfairly blamed for any weird reactions his fans have had to her gender presentation in the past when they’re just a mostly normal 23 year old like all the rest of us just trying to work out life’s messy struggles, like queerness and identity. the only difference is that he happens to have a large platform.
