The best thing is if you google around, many people who are either trans themselves or trans friendly are all "gently caress this person, they are not a feel good story about over coming oppression, but a deeply self centered person who is using a trans identity to seek out attention". The creepy thing is she claims to be a 6 year old, but also happily describes the age play sex she has with her "mommy and daddy". Oh and refers to the couples 7 year old grand daughter as her "big sister".

I found some quotes from people who she worked for at a transgendered help center

quote:

She has demonstrated herself as deeply narcissistic and self-absorbed, putting her own struggles as a white trans woman ahead of the struggles of trans women of colour in Ontario, of putting her own attempts at suicide in front of murdered black and brown trans women at TDoR gatherings.

This would otherwise seem like a quibbling over her character. When she was employed, however, as a trans consultant for a queer-focussed community centre and assigned to work alongside a few trans women of colour, she had a tendency to hijack client/community presentations and redirect these back toward herself (implying that she was the most oppressed trans person there was). Eventually, this cost Stefonknee her job.”

I feel like she's a deeply ugly person that seens in her trans identity a way to bring attention to themselves. And probably is a straight up pedo. I'd not be surprised to see a news story about her being arrested for child molestation, but claiming that the police are vile transphobs and that because she's actually a 6 year old girl, its nothing wrong. Ignoring the fact that a 6 year old has no idea what sex is.

This could not be more on the nose

Nah. Snowcrash was published in '92 and Cyberpunk, with it's associated nerd boner for eastern culture, dates back to at least the early 80s. The "street samurai" was already a well-worn cliche by the time Stephenson got ahold of it.

Bolded is the most hosed up thing for me. You're a couple and have a trans playing a 6 year old for sexual fantasies? Fine. But dragging a child in there is......drat, she'll need a lot of therapy. And I wonder why the authorities weren't called yet.

Yea I didn't read snowcrash until I was at least 19, if not later, and I could literally not get past the first bit because it was just so up its own rear end how clever it was. It was a parodying things in the worst kind of way, and I can see nerds latching onto it.

That guy totally claims to have some Asian in him. Back when I was more heavily into the anime scene here, there was a guy who would always claim that he was part Japanese, hence he was more Anime than everyone else. He was as pasty and white as you imagine.

Dammit, you'd think there would be some good GIS hits for weeaboos, but it really just gives me Chris-Chan and that kid on the subway with the coolie on. I'm trying to remember the white girl that would make videos of her self "acting Japanese" where were little more than her staring wide eyed into the camera trying to do that :3 smile thing that is so associated with Japanese girls, and sometimes saying things with a prototypical "cute" Japanese accent. You'd think she'd be easy to find.

And yea, its the first one. The book is so pleased with itself that its making fun of cyberpunk it cannot stop winking and nodding constantly. Even in the dozen or so pages it sounded like someone on TVT's orthogonal fiction that is just a mash of a bunch of popular nerd things slapped together that to excuse its blatant stolen ideas, claims its satire. I'm glad I couldn't get far enough to read about the 15 year old girl who basically has sex with every guy in the book in detail.

Yes! Her teeth looked like those fake hick teeth you get.

With that, I found her youtube channel. And she has a wikipedia entry. based on her videos, she got to go to Japan, meet her favorite idol and be a voice actor. The hell?

Trap sprung and all, but as far as I know, the Japanese standard of beauty involves an uneven set of teeth, where the central incisors and canines stick out below the lateral incisors, to make the woman look more childlike (and therefore more beautiful? I don't know man, it's weird).

They're not even that expensive, only about £50 over here. I bought one of the blue tulip patterned ones as a stage outfit for a gig last years; they feel cheap but they're not terrible quality and it looks fine under stage lights.

Absolutely not something I'd wear for a casual night out but they're alright as a christmas gimmick.

Yea, I was thinking exactly that. The guy is toned, looks like he actually takes care of his hair, but insists on wearing that stupid hat and posing with a Katana. he's probably 20 so the video game posters are excusable. Actually I think if a woman went "ew you play video games?" seeing those, and he had not brought it up or anything, she'd be the one with the issues. Video games are everywhere and everyone plays them.
