Potentially Controversial Opinion? I See This Especially Bad Wrt Moreid - Tumblr Posts

hello fandom artist. in front of you is a male character widely interpreted as transmasculine because of his vaguely gnc features. your task is to draw him next to a cis man without feminising him beyond recognition. if you fail you will be beaten to death with hammers. your time starts now

yeah
potentially controversial opinion? i see this especially bad wrt moreid
which is also. yk. racist
i see it in fic too
Like
yeah reid is slimmer. okay. but i dont know why people are constantly forgetting that theyre the same height??
hell i think REID might even be a tiny bit taller?
not significantly—an inch at most—and it might be an illusion because again hes thinner
but
i dont know man. i need some people to interrogate why they can't write or draw m/m couples without making one of them significantly smalle
or more feminine than in canon. and why they never do it to black men
btw i am not criticizing gnc reid headcanons
the issue is not people headcanoning characters as gnc the issue is the seeming inability of some people to picture an m/m relationship
where neither of them is The Woman
i hope im making sense here. if not or if anything was off do let me know
sorry i may have gotten away a bit from the transphobic element of this the og post is commenting on. that is also very present
