I think cisblood was *supposed* to be aimed at all that 'transethnic' bullshit, rather than actual transgendered people, but it's not like you can actually clarify that in the text, so it still looks...a little potentially side-eye worthy.

Porrim's total comparative sanity, even though (and partly because) she had her own particular issues that she focused on definitely helped, imo.

I only just checked tumblr to see if Hussie was simply making up words that begin with 'cis', and oh gdi. Here I was giving the benefit of a doubt that nobody actually uses 'cis-ethnic' as an actual thing, and why is it an actual thing. I knew 'transethnic' was there, but omg how the hell is 'cis-ethnic' less offensive to these people.

it's implying actual racial minorities have the privilege of being a racial minoritagosiugvb

Sadly people do - and I've actually run across someone who thinks mixed race and not looking like your ethnicity = trans-ethnic. And, as much as I *want* to say it's a cultural difference there [she's Aussie - I'm American]...I just kind of strongly doubt it since she also openly admits to being racist - and, I quote, 'Racism isn't a problem if you don't care'. Never mind, you know...all the way it effects the people you [general] are being racist against.

tl;dr: Oh, it's a real thing, though some of the people who believe it have very...special takes on things like what ethnicity is, and social justice issues as a whole.

Yeah, I dunno, that "otherblood" and "polyblood" stuff sounded like it was aimed at nonbinary trans people to me. That was the only thing in Kankri's dialog that really bothered me.

[tenebrais]

Not everything is a satire. Knowing Hussie he probably just thought it'd be funny to take the whole "identifying as _____" idea and apply it to troll blood castes.

[grimdarning]

Really? Huhn. I immediately associated that part with Otherkin who think they're foxdragons and soulbounding head-multiples people, or whatever.

Then again, that's the problem with the joke: neither of us are right. He's talking about issues that don't exist, and we all have our own, legitimate reactions to that. And if people dealing with serious gender issues feel insulted, then - well, I don't know *how* Kankri could have been handled more carefully in the context of that update, but I hope as his character gets explored more, it becomes more clear that he's not their to mock actual trans and nonbinary people, because I hoped Hussie was better than that, and it would suck if he was.
