y’all wanna hear a take
the taz fandom claims to be inclusive and very homophobia/transphobia free but the way so many people treat taako and lup says completely otherwise. so many people treat taako like a walking gay stereotype and even more treat lup like Big Buff Wife Kill Me Step On Me So Violent which is incredibly trans misogynistic and honestly y’all need to cut that shit out ESPECIALLY if you’re not a gay man treating taako like that or a trans women treating lup like that. it’s extremely homophobic and transphobic and very transparent y’all only ever care about your Woke Points when you’re making taako more feminine than lup or lup more masculine/buff than taako.
To add onto this, taako is painted as a hypersexualized Gay man in every situation, which! Is a dangerous gay stereotype. Taako flirts with one guy in the whole arc, while many people write him as having sex with any guy that breathes. While many trans women choose to dress more “masculine” it’s telling when people refuse to draw Lup with an ounce of femininity. She is described as wearing a dress in a live show, she’s not afraid to wear a dress, but some people are afraid of putting a trans women dress because of, you guessed it, transphobia.
Not only that but some people HYPER feminize taako (out of this world skirts, dresses, sparkles, etc) when he wore a purple skirt once, and then turn around and make Lup super masculine- which is valid if you are a transwoman and masculine- but a lot of the time it’s not trans people doing this.
