The more i read about this little cutie, the more my heart melts and i want a body pillow of her.
To be fair, the idea didn't really congeal until now. I'd read up on kui tan expansion, but I thought that'd throw off the trap dynamic. I remembered that she produces like buckets of pre, and figured that the two ideas could mesh well together with some mods.
Excuse me if I intrude but what Tove do you mean? Tlako is already in the current public build, so am I missing something here?
Plus "trap", just on its face, isn't a 1:1 for transwhateveryoumay anyway. Some trans people find it offensive, hear it and think that it's some sort of sexual predator casting where they're being thought of as "traps" for straight guys to get "caught" in when it's really just a silly reference to the old Admiral Ackbar meme from the aughts. It originally came about as Western people were being exposed to otoko no ko art (which is a goofy pun that refers to boys being drawn as very feminine to the point of being mistaken for girls or possibly crossdressing as girls) and would then make the same dumb joke over and over until everyone actually started calling them traps - and from there, like reverse harems before it (personally I find "reverse" to be a completely unnecessary and kind of a confusing distinction to those who don't already know, but that's what people use), reverse traps referred to girls drawn more masculine or crossdressing as boys.
There's some element of taking others by surprise inherent to the character type so trap actually ended up fitting in a roundabout and perfectly silly way. The important thing to note that those who weren't aware of the origins of the word might not know is that it's not actually connected to transgenderism. In fact traps and reverse traps often think of themselves as boys/girls but, either reluctantly or willingly, end up looking cute or tough against the typical expected presentation for boys or girls. It doesn't even -have- to incorporate crossdressing necessarily though that is quite common.
A trap, whether the boy or girl kind, could certainly -be- transgendered but they're not actually the same thing. It's more rooted in androgyny and challenges some "this or that" gender norms in the perception of others and how the characters perceive their own masculinity and femininity. So keep in mind that it's primarily a term for a type of fictional character and a pop culture word with porny roots. In a game like this trap is more than appropriate - but def. don't go slinging that one around everywhere when it comes to describing real people.
Not gonna lie. I kind of figured people stopped giving a shit about derogatory terms and stopped giving a shit about what people call them. No racism or genderism since people give zero fucks about it.
You got a dick?
Yup.
You a guy?
nope.
cool, lets go get drunk.
NO FUCKS GIVEN!
Getting so worked up about labels and all that has always seemed pointlessly exhausting - but hey, if people really don't want to be called some thing it's really not any trouble to show that much courtesy.
@balitz Method
But to avoid calling people something they do not like, to show courtesy, you need to establish certain norms, dos and don'ts, and you can only establish those via communication and by getting worked up (about labels and all that).

If someone else cares enough to where they don't want to be called some specific thing (or -only- want to be called some specific thing) then letting them establish that isn't much of a thing. Labeling tends to get in the way more than it helps but a lot of people are invested in them so they're free to use whatever they want. I can only imagine the standup careers we'd lose if everyone collectively agreed to not care about them.
Awright I can acceot that. Back to topic: SOOO CUTE! ...wait I have already said that.
