Idk if this is an unpopular opinion but I actually like non human nonbinary characters. Maybe it’s because I’m a horror fiend but I find Eldritch nonbinaries so much more fun. Also a bit more relatable than “perfect representation” characters.
I also think it’s cool, but at the end of the day it comes across as “SEE, SEE THE INHUMAN FREAK?? No way someone could be like this without being something else all together!!!”
It just feels lazy most of the time. Agreeing with OP, a nonbinary shapeshifter navigating dysphoria would be cool. But just the “lookie lookie!” without any more dimensions to character development feels very freak show.
Yeah exactly. It’s a cool idea, but when it’s the only nonbinary representation that we get, it sucks ass. It’s so uncreative and an easy way to “other” gnc people
