Valid point. I think there should be space for both kinds of characters in fiction.

Okay, but part of the problem with casting cis actors as trans characters is that it means trans actors don't get roles. I think it would be fine, potentially interesting even, if a series did this but ALSO cast some trans actors as major characters, whether those characters are trans or not.
The other thing is, I'm nonbinary and my ideal body has mixed sex characteristics. There's still room for visibly trans people in settings with perfect transition technology/magic, because we don't all want to look exactly like cis people.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't on principle have a problem with cis actors playing trans characters in settings where perfect transition to cis bodies is a possible thing. I also don't on principle have a problem with trans actors playing cis characters either. If it works on screen, it works.

I'd only worry about the meta aspect of it, where productions might use the setting being sci fi as the perfect excuse to simply not look for, or at, IRL trans actors, or even have that listed as part of the character's casting call.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree

[(Anonymous)]

This is one of those things I put maybe too much time thinking about when imagining scifi settings. The theory I ended up settling on is: some people prefer the 100% genderswap version, while others feel more themselves with versions of transition basically like what's currently available, and a wide array in-between.

On top of that, some regions of populated space don't have access to certain types of technology, so that also acts as a factor, both on what's feasible, and what's socially accepted. A major reason why there's a huge market is transporting people from one region to another (aka my protagonist's job) is to gain access to technology not in their home region.

*looks at the above ramble* Yeah I might be overthinking this.

I'm just glad you included muscle hunk Link as being as egregiously inaccurate as slinky femboy Link because yeah, it is.

I'm not into these fanarts in particular, but for me it's like: [Body type or feature] is hot. [Canon character] is also hot. Combining both is even better. It's not that I don't love the canon character as-is (otherwise I'd draw someone else), but it's just playing with the design for fun.

[feotakahari]

No comment on this specific art, but sometimes the art feels like a correction of the canon. Especially with muscular women—often there’s a physically strong character whose canon design looks like a twig, and then the fanart bulks her up a bit.

[(Anonymous)]

The thing is a fictional character is really an amorphous bundle of traits, characteristics, aesthetics, etc. With Link, or Spider-Man, or whoever else, there is not one true version of those characters. There are a wide range of different versions of those characters, linked to some extent by common attributes.

So it's not really about changing the character. It's about finding a version of the character - some aspect of their aesthetic or personalities - that lines up with what you think is hot.

[(Anonymous)]

The right is closer than the left, though.

And doesn't he get dressed up femme to get into Gerudo Town in canon? Granted, that's a whole other Orientalist can of worms...

[(Anonymous)]

I kind of get why people do it, and the best for them, but I still feel this. Even when it comes to less fetish-y, like you've shown, fanon changes. I really dislike when people take characters and make them more feminine or masculine depending on whether they see the character as a top or a bottom.

[(Anonymous)]

I think the fact that they're changing a character's canon look is part of the fetish a lot of the time.

This argument doesn't work for me, people who are willing to cheat on their partners aren't necessarily people who would physically attack their partners.
