Looks like it was a ... boobie trap

  Those “fans” sound like creeps with a fetish.

    I mean… I can see it both ways.

    When people engage with content, they have expectations going in - they expect to know if the content is fictional, truthful, or intentionally ambiguous.

    For example, if someone watches a documentary and finds out it was all made up, they’d be right to be upset, because it presents itself as honest.
    Likewise if someone watches a fantasy movie, they don’t have the expectation of honesty.
    And if someone watches something like the Blair witch project, they go in knowing that it’s dubiously truthful. It’s a bit of a grey area because the deceit is part of the art.

    Streaming is similar, vtubers are obviously fictional - nobody really has expectations around what they’re really like.
    But if someone builds a following around being authentically themselves, and then it’s discovered that they’re lying about significant parts of their content, I can understand some degree of outrage.

    I don’t really watch streamers because the dynamic between streamers and viewers seems toxic AF, where streamers are kinda forced to pander and appear personable… But I still understand being upset when you find out what you got isn’t what you were sold

    She’s stealing the identity of a marginalized minority, I say she didn’t get enough hate, this was an old case, the meme is just being recycled.

    One of the main advantages that streaming has over other forms of entertainment is that it does create a sort of relationship between the streamer and the viewer. Generally the viewer knows that the streamer isn’t really his friend, but the viewer does feel a sort of human connection to the streamer which relies on the assumption that the streamer is being authentic.

    I’ll be frank: if I watch streamer content, it’s because I’m feeling lonely and watching it is a little like hanging out with a friend. Obviously it’s not the same because it’s almost entirely a one-way interaction and I know that the streamer is deliberately creating entertainment as opposed to doing what he’s doing purely for its own sake, but I would be disappointed if I discovered that a streamer’s whole identity was made up.

      This relationship thing is why I avoid streaming, just feels like propaganda eventually it affects you even if you know it can happen

  reminder that trap is a transphobic slur, you should add a content warning in the title

      yes and half of the trans people on tumble call themselves trannies.
      the difference is the same as watching a movie with flashing lights after sitting through the epilepsy warning and getting your brain actually blasted by the day 1 cyberpunk 2077 braindance cutscene. one’s a choice, the other just happens to you.

      Reversal of stigma is a common phenomenon among minority groups. That doesn’t mean it’s okay tu use the term when you’re not part of the group.

  Wait, we’re allowed to use the word “Trap” to refer to crossdressers? I knew we weren’t allowed to use it to refer to trans people (for obvious reasons), but it’s still cool to call crossdressers that? Disgaea 4’s PC release told me it wasn’t… gahh

  Okay, I don’t understand the Post-Twitter landscape. Is there a book of rules I can see

    Wait, we’re allowed to use the word “Trap” to refer to crossdressers?

    I guess the word has been reclaimed?

    There were some streamers that would dress up as girls to make fun of horny perverts on omegle. You can say, they were trapping perverts.

    If someone identifies as a trap then you can refer to them as a trap. Simple as.

    source
  • LwL@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    From what I’ve seen you have crossdressers self identifying as trap on one side and people that are unaware that group exists and think trap is exclusively a derogatory term for trans ppl (or think enjoying crossdressing MUST mean you’re trans) on the other.

    It’s a whole mess as any offensive language tends to be, because words rarely ever only have one meaning and there’s also more than one language in the world but terms still cross from one language into others.

    Honestly as long as you’re trying to be considerate of others I don’t think anyone can fault you, and that goes for everything. People will try to speak for everyone, but even when they do speak for the majority there are usually exceptions.
