Ratonhnhaké:ton, known by his adopted name Connor Kenway, is possibly one of mass media’s and 3rd gen gaming’s most important male protagonists thus far—he subverts common tropes glorifying hypermasculinity, the white savior complex and imperialism through his narrative. Ratonhnhaké:ton is a scarce and primary example of visible representation of both the Native American and biracial community, as his ethnicity is not only relevant to his narrative but also not vilified or demeaned: through Ratonhnhaké:ton’s narrative, the Mohawk peoples are instead humanized.
While the quality of AC3’s narrative can be debated, from a sociopolitical perspective, it’s important. Incredibly so. Rarely do you see a biracial, Mohawk protagonist who not only combats imperialism but isn’t reduced to a walking and problematic stereotype of some sort. Ratonhnhaké:ton is meant to be perceived as human and sympathetic at that to the player.
And there’s more to be said on not only that matter at that. Lengthy post below.
Omfg I just wanted to say happy birthday my sweetpea, it’s been 5 years and my love for you still burns like a forest fire.
I hate discourse I say as I sign back onto this blog to discourse
The idea of dictating which characters are and are not "canonly" transgender is absurd, and patent transphobia. You have no way of knowing unless a content creator specifically announces that their character is cisgender. Cisgender is not the default.
Your overreaction and oversimplification of this topic to “you must be transphobic because reasons” is the exact reason why I don’t want to incorporate gender headcanons into this group. I know from experience that they’re too controversial, muns start arguing with each other that their headcanons are wrong, and drama happens. That’s all you’re trying to do right now, anyways. Start drama.
I myself am bigender. I have several transgender headcanons of my own for characters in various fandoms. I understand that cisgender is not the default. However, because there is no default in canon, it’s easier to designate a default for this verse so that nobody steps on each other’s toes. If you so wish, make an RP group where every character is transgender, or where anybody can have their own gender headcanons. However, calling me bigoted because I want a clean, non-confrontational RP group isn’t the way to get yourself representation.
On another note, I don’t understand why you want to argue this me, the admin of a group that you could just as easily ignore. If you don’t agree with my rules, then don’t follow this group or anybody who’s a member of it.
Omfg have you ever modded a group before because there is 0 professionalism to this response
Also being nonbinary doesn’t mean you aren’t capable of being transphobic 1) internalized transphobia exists, just as every other form of internalization does 2) being nonbinary and being transgender are not inherently synonymous to start with but even if they were that’d still be a bullshit excuse
Anyways I highly suggest that you get off that high horse if you’re going to mod a group because people will leave, and quickly at that. And @ whoever this anon is, rest assured there are 2832 groups out there with better worldbuilding and mod teams so no loss on your part
I’m not saying josh keaton is a predatory sack of shit who’s telling teens that it’s okay for them to sleep with adults and then spending a whole lot of time with the same teens but… Wait actually that’s exactly what I’m saying.
What the hell is wrong with you people
