DiscussionTIF in One Piece
Just started watching the new One Piece adaptation on Netflix. As soon as the Koby character came on screen I could tell something was off. Froggy voice with feminine mannerisms, no Adam's apple, looks like a girl.
At first I just thought, no, they cast a feminine-looking gay actor. They wouldn't do that. But I looked it up and sure enough, the actor is a TIF.
Aside from her terrible acting, Koby is supposed to be a man. He isn't a woman pretending to be a man. There are thousands of male actors that could have taken the part. Why do TV shows insist on casting people pretending to be the opposite sex to play characters who are the opposite sex? Now it seems like everything I watch has at least one of these people slipped in. It immediately removes me from the story. I am so, so sick of this.
I'm so tired of this ideology. Is there anywhere, movies, books, TV shows, etc. that we can get away from it anymore?
And that’s not even true! Too many doctors won’t prescribe HRT for natural menopause because conventional wisdom vacillates on the benefits v. risks. Gee, if only women’s health care research was fully funded and functional.
It reminds me of how eggs were both good and bad for your health at one point.
It being untrue was one of the most aggravating things about it, exactly!! They don't just hand out HRT to women going through menopause, from what I gather there are all kinds of hoops to jump through
It was PhilosophyTube so it was most likely his classic case of 'I know this isn't true, but all those brocialists who love me so much won't have a clue, because I'm so much smarter than them'. Absolute bad-faith grifter.
On the plus side, his face, body and outfits these days are absolutely hilarious to look at and have given me many a laugh aloud, so I guess we get something out of him making a public fool of himself for his fetish.
