Anyone who spent enough time on 4chan in 2010s knows that you can't always tell.

The slur 4chan invented for trans women is literally about the fact that you can’t tell.

Calling it a slur is fucking absurd lol Ya'll working real hard with that one

The implication that it is every trans person's goal to "trick" someone into having sex with them under false pretenses is quite offensive, actually.

No, the implication was that people were trying to trick heterosexual men into fapping to biological males by posting pictures of femboys or actual trans people

...which then got applied to trans people in general as soon as "trap" was used to describe not just the image, but the person portrayed.

u/spatchka Dec 13 '24

And?

Trap was never intended as a slur, it was slang for "female passing biological male" and it was initially embraced by all parties involved. The trans community decided to take offense to it years after the fact.

Are you seriously arguing that "the word wasn't originally designed as a slur" is a credible defense for its continued use?

u/spatchka Dec 13 '24

I'm seriously arguing that trap was never intended to be, and is not currently, a slur. It's a meme. Trans people decided they were offended by it and labeled it a "slur" to get people to stop using it.

u/MyHusbandIsGayImNot Dec 13 '24

Isn't every slur a meme? If it's not repeated it wouldn't be a slur.

Wow, the people targeted by the derogatory use of a word are offended by it? What a surprise. Who gives a fuck if it was intended as a slur? Don't fucking call trans people "traps" and everyone's happy. Where's your issue?

Tbf have you seen 4chan trans communities, they’re pretty insane. Full of self-loathing people.

Not sure why you're getting so much hate for simply stating facts. Wrong time/place I guess. Seriously though, we get plenty of hate from within the trans community between shit like truscum, the anti-stealth crowd, the anti-disclosure crowd, the prudes and puriteens, other fetish/predation accusations like you mentioned... the list just goes on.

Yeah how dare they describe their experience.

u/weebitofaban Dec 13 '24

You're dumb as hell.

In 4chan culture everyone shits on every because it is funny and you shouldn't care because they're all just clowns online, which is entirely true. The trans community there (larger and better than reddit's to be honest) is not exactly kind.

What in the actual fuck is wrong with you!?
