I am morally & ethically required to support all trans GitS posting
Also though
Ow
that's a kinda fuckin genderfluid ass vibe, if I had a nickel for every time I saw this sentiment in a media I'd have fifteen cents.
gits is so trans it's wild watching it as an adult with thoughts about gender. this song makes me think it might have been intentional? impossible to say
We will assume that it is and claim GitS as a Trans Thingβ’!!!
iirc the guy behind the manga is a weird rightwing shithead but who gives a shit, the major is so trans it's incredible
Now we absolutely have to claim it as a Trans Thing, yes!! It's hard to argue against tbh.
the major is trans as hell, i love her. the transbian rep we deserve (if you ignore how much of a cop she is)
...can I critically support a cool transbian cop? acab tho.........
the central bit of ghost in the shell is that the major (and to a lesser extent all the non-togusa members of section nine) has made the bargain that in exchange for having an idealized body that body is the property of the government and she cannot escape being a tool of the state, which is a really interesting tension. though like, obviously still a cop even if she's trapped as such on pain of the government confiscating her entire body
Hey i thought about this comment again and went online to check, couldn't find much on the guy. I've started reading the manga recently, and his politics are certainly strange. Do you have any good sources or analysis on the political angle of the manga and author, his more personal beliefs?
GitS has always been a strange beast to me. The manga, the movies, the animes, all have different vibes and interpretations of the setting, and the political leanings vary quite a lot.
sorry i don't have more lmao, this is half remembered hearsay i probably read on a discord server 5 years ago. it probably mostly came from the manga and also other manga he's done. appleseed and dominion tank police and such
and yeah the vibes shift dramatically from entry to entry, everyone who comes to it approaches it pretty differently
I recently talked to a friend of mine how we both went through a weeb phase when we were eggs and which characters gave us gender envy that we couldn't process at all back then, and somehow i forgot to include the Major in that list. I might need to rewatch GitS soon.
MANY such cases. who was your biggest one? aside from ranma i was SUPER into seras from hellsing. and also sailor mars
I was a pretentious hipster on acid back then, so clearly Lain Iwakura. That scene where she talks to Alice in the finale and it's like talking a gal pal you have super strong lesbian tension with out of a bad trip? That did things to me i could only understand more than a decade later.
good pick! i somehow never watched lain until after the egg hatched, so i didn't have that experience but i DID go she's just like me fr when i finally got around to it
