miraculous ladybug au where chloe continues to be redeemed and acts as queen bee and was there for chat noir as he began to feel neglected, leading to the two to become closer,,, chat noir finds out alya knows ladybugβs identity and so he decides to trust chloe with his and it causes tension between the titular heroes (misunderstood/no romantic rivalry; i have always seen adrien and chloeβs relationship as purely platonic/familial)
guys i watched dead meat's danganronpa kill count and it honestly irks me that they considered chihiro a "they"
headcanons aren't canon!!!! chihiro is explicitly said to be male bc he was literally bullied into it to protect himself bc of japanese gender roles
if he was trans, he wouldn't have gone to mondo to be stronger- mondo was literally everything chihiro wanted to be from an outside perspective
and i don't think taichi would be the type to misgender his kid
canonically, chihiro is male. it's fine to have headcanons as long as it doesn't directly impede a character's story/arc. if you don't get that, you don't understand his character or story.
EDIT: (under the cut)
gender roles in japan are (or at least were) very strict. boys were supposed to be strong and chihiro was not, so he got bullied relentlessly for it. since he was seen as weak and feminine, he decided to pretend to be a girl to get the bullying to stop. and it worked. the only issue was that if he was ever found out, heβd be bullied even more for crossdressing.
chihiro never wanted to be a girl and only did it because he wanted the bullying to stop. he is quite literally uncomfortable at the others treating him as a girl.
chihiro looked up to mondo because he was a strong man and wanted to be trained by him- he even declined sakuraβs offer because she was a woman.
the second motive made him motivated to share his secret- to be strong enough to let the truth out and finally be himself. a lot of his dialogue gives an insight on his insecurity of being weak and his desire to be a strong man. he wants to be a man.
if you headcanon him as trans, that is fine. that is your headcanon. my personal problem is that it feels like a lot of the takes iβve seen undermine his story or itβs just people insisting heβs canonically trans. his character arc and over all characterization is very heavily centered around the topic of gender and gender roles/masculinity and iβm pretty sure itβs supposed to be a critique on those topics. and itβs important to keep in mind that these topics are seen differently between somewhere like the usa and japan. this game was released in 2010 and no game after has stated that chihiro identifies as anything different. alter ego- a program that chihiro created and i doubt he intended on sharing with anyone uses he/him pronouns for him. chihiro programmed something secret and gave himself he/him pronouns. the AI of chiaki that chihiro also helped create refers to chihiro as her and monomiβs father. itβs not supposed to be anything all that deep.
can his story be seen as an allegory? yes, absolutely. if you resonate with that, then thatβs your comfort space. but donβt be one of those people that project onto the character.
my issue with dead meatβs kill count is that usually they follow canon and mention canon elements. to put chihiro as a βthey/themβ is just incorrect, no matter how much discourse it may create. this is my complaint. i know they took the safe route, but it is explicitly said that chihiro is a boy and identifies as such. i donβt remember if this was the japanese version only, but mondo refers to him using masculine pronouns and nicknames. chihiro is canonically a cisgender male and he always has been.
if you can identify with the trans take, thatβs great- but please understand his character and the journey he goes through within the game. heβs not supposed to be trans representation so donβt look at it him like he is.
tl;dr - while i personally dislike the βchihiro is transβ headcanon, i donβt care if you do. my issue is that if youβre going to cover the gameβs story and itβs characters, it needs to go off of canonical elements. acknowledging outside debates is fine, but donβt let headcanons bleed into your actual coverage.
I didnβt think these were good enough for Instagram so,, take them
