Chasers?

Fetishists of trans bodies.

Imagine you were hopelessly alone. You wish a guy would come around to love you, but 99% of guys wont give you the time of day. Now this one guy comes along and actually shows interest in you. What do you do? Call him a chaser because you prefer to wallow in your own self pity and be hopelessly alone. Calling a guy a chaser is just an excuse to remain alone and lonely, most likely because you are too insecure with your own body to open up to another human in any form.

na

lol, I'm not trans but as an asian woman I can tell you that chasers 100% exist and it doesn't surprise me that some go after trans women. I mean, there's a huge subsection of porn dedicated to it

I mean I don't see how having a kind of preference is wrong, you say BUT THEY'RE FETISHIZING ME AND MY BODY, but really they're just being attracted to it.

As long as they aren't creeps/jerks about it is okay.

People who are overly insecure and submissive are scared of relationship attempts that end in failure. It makes them feel hurt and powerless. They want to date when an emotional connection is guaranteed, even when common logic dictates that it is impossible. This puts a burden on the "chaser", a person who professes a sexual attraction that does not necessarily promises an emotional connection and long term relationship. The more a person's sexual preference targets a group of people who is insecure and submissive, the more that person is likely to be unfairly represented as a sexual maniac who is unable to love when making making a simple statement of sexual attraction unless the statement is simultaneously paired with a genuine promise of long term relationship unrelated to the sexual attraction.

People who are predominantly attracted to Asians =/= Asian chasers.

This is a better example of what a chaser is.

That's what 'chaser' means. It's a very widespread phenomenon. There's a reason there's 'ebony' or 'teenage Asian girls' categories in porn and not a 'ivory' one for white women.

Try again.

Imagine you found that one out of a hundred who shows interest in you. He's attracted to you, he seems to like you, you have awesome sex-- and he won't tell anyone he's dating you. He denigrates trans people with his friends. He won't let you MEET his friends, much less his family. You're his dirty little secret.

But hey, he'll fuck you!

That is a chaser.

THAT is - but, tbh, I've heard the term used on ANYONE who has a specific preference for trans women (or, insert any minority here), which I also think is unfair. Like there's this ideology that you should like everyone equally even in attraction and it just does not work that way.

(Anonymous) 2016-08-09 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
That's one type of chaser. Another kind is the one that puts groups of people on a pedestal and cares more about what they are than who they are i.e. they're into a certain type and don't care who it is or what they're like as long as they're that type. This isn't necessarily only sexual either: see 1990s weeaboos dreaming of the perfect Japanese wife where Japanese was the most prominent qualification with everything else about her being lesser and being willing to forgive anything because omg, Japanese gf desu.

I don't mean to say that people like this can't have real and fulfilling relationships with their object of pedestal-ing, because they can. But it doesn't make them not chasers.

Chasers are not those who have preferences at all. Sure, seen some cis guys called that because someone's insecurity but that is their prerogative and we all decide whom we date.

Chasers are the people who are there for this one trait and do not take in the whole person. To be precise - dick. And to them the dick lacks personality, life, her own preferences. Usually those guys run when a girl says she considers bottom surgery (while denying so before, so not a conflict in this case, they usually say the opposite). Their whole dating evolves around partner being trans, hell, can be not even related to physicality but the whole niche aspect.

Yes, they are one night stands and flings and one night stands based on that and it is fine with both parties knowing. However a mature relationship

As to OP, I don't know this webcomic but seen the author is 20 and it can just be her age. It is where we love to fit in. Or it is just what she likes and wants. All women on the trans spectrum I knew were older and started transitions (or felt no need to or were not able to) after 20. Sans one friend who is about the same but definitely not some statistic or anything. And yeah, can't speak for my friends (just writing what they are comfy with).
