Contrapoints talks about CWC in her video on cringe which is overall great video

Content warning edit: rewatching this video and it contains pedo contempt, ableism, as well as other things I’m not aligned with. Well constructed with good points and introspection but needs criticizing. Proceed at your own risk

I also find Contrapoints’ conclusion at the end of the video to be limited and misleading. Her framing of self-love betrays a lack of understanding of what the experience is like. Self love is not merely claiming to have qualities valued by others (society), such as, “I’m a genius. I’m a supermodel.” In my experience it is seeing the qualities in yourself that you enjoy and trusting that enjoyment, seeing the qualities in yourself you feel are difficult and responding with patience and compassionate curiosity.

This can result in seeming more confident to others, and even using more uplifting language to describe yourself to others (can be interpreted as “cringe” bragging by people who envy having the “audacity” and/or don’t understand where the confidence comes from and respond with distrust). For example after experiencing more self-love, I’m more likely acknowledge my insightfulness others. I am afraid of being seen as overconfident and being proven “wrong” but due to my experience with self-love this fear is less than it has been in the past. I have some security that even if there are times others don’t see me as I see myself, my love for myself remains important and the compassion in myself will try to help me through difficulty.

Also self-love I think is particularly important to autistic folks because we are all so different neurobiologically speaking and are pressured into distrusting ourselves. Which is not to say we should be expected to be independent and not care how others think. External validation is also important as it can teach methods of self love and inspire confidence.

I don’t really like elaborating but I can a bit. Also this is all gonna be from relatively distant memory, as I make a point about not looking up more information. More on why later.

CWC is notable in that she has been made into a paraiah by a contemptuous fanbase who observe her as a freak, dishumanize her, document her, discuss her with other fans, and sometimes directly meddle in her life. She is a notable example of what some call a “lolcow” (derogatory). She is discussed on KiwiFarms (notable for transphobia) among other places. Fan documentation includes at least one wiki and a iirc several documentary series available on YouTube, including at least one really long one. Like, way too long for what the subject matter calls for.

CWC as a freak and the extent of the documentation on her can be framed as shocking and entertaining to a general audience. Some fans take pride and pleasure divulging CWC’s thoroughly documented history to “normies”.

“Don’t know about [CWC]? Well, you’re in for a ride! [infodump starts here]”

My pointed disinterest in knowing any more about CWC or searching for her name on the web is a response to this culture.

Fans have different terminology for themselves that I don’t remember. But basically fans are sometimes separated into groups. The fans that directly interact with CWC are sometimes looked down on as distasteful by the fans who observe and document without directly interacting with CWC. But it’s important to note that fans who claim a principle of not harassing CWC will still participate in demeaning online discussion and documentation. Also the point of having an interest in CWC is the entertainment of ableist “cringe”. If there are people whose interest stems from non-judgment of CWC and criticism of the commodification of disabled people as entertainment, they are outliers. The culture of the " fanbase" is one of ranging from contempt to dehumanizing observation.

Iirc there has been at least one CWC “fan” (or maybe a few) that have developed hostile subfanbases. A Russian nesting doll of freak on freak observation…

“Normies” who don’t know much about CWC may display the traits of dedicated fans but in a less extreme way.

I guess CWC besides being harassed and studied is most known for “Sonichu”. I think her sharing of Sonichu is about when she started developing a (hostile) following.

Aww beauty description

Welcome!

I am grateful for this site, the radqueer community, mad pride, my fellow weirds <3

Cute

SpongeBob is kinda supposed to be agefluid or something nuanced like that.

Stella from Spiritfarer takes the body of a child in this afterlife world.

Misty from My Little Pony: Make Your Mark doesn’t get a cutie mark until she is older, and in one episode she is shown preparing for her cutie mark ceremony with some little foals, and they are all so nice to her. I kinda headcanon her is transage or something because that would be so cute and I trust the other foals would accept her.

Charlie from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is depicted as being weird in general and this lends him to some transID interpretations. Like for example he pretty explicitly talks about being transcat and wanting to transition in one episode (later an entirely different character has a similar thing). Anyway he could be interpreted as transage.

For example he writes a musical and a character that is supposed to be a stand-in for him is portrayed as a “little boy” and when questioned on this he doesn’t seem to care about the difference between man and boy in this context. Also in one episode he gets engaged to a 12yo. He doesn’t know this girl is 12 but they seem to get along really naturally. Also other characters will refer to him as a “kid” sometimes, even if they are about the same chronological age or younger. Plus I could go on about specific moments where he acts “childish” whatever that means.

Todd from BoJack Horseman is kinda similar to Soos in that he’s a goofy character than can be read as “childish”.

Ash Ketchum Pokémon. Some permaage magic going on there.

Bandit from Bluey. I just think it would be cute if he were transage younger and/or agefluid. Same goes for Bluey and Bingo but reverse.

Spike from Scootertrix the Abridged has the character model of a baby dragon but doesn’t act particular young and I don’t think he’s ever referred to as being particularly young by other characters.

Some characters from Sonic have canon ages that feel dissonant from how they are often depicted, especially with such a large franchise spanning multiple cultures and mediums, along with translation shenanigans. Anyway I think Tails’ canon age is 8yo but he often acts more like a tween or teen and can be depicted with a maturity that seems indistinguishable from, say Sonic’s. Amy is a similar case. In the IDW comics I think most of the MCs can be easily read as young adults. Age is so weird.

With divine shenanigans, transageity can be a consequence. For example The Lamb from Cult of the Lamb could be read is transgod, transimmortal, and by consequence, transage.

It’s totally okay!!

I’m weird as quoiromantic I don’t get how romance is special enough to be repulsed by but I also am kinda interested in abolishing it as a concept (in a similar way to my gender abolishism where I’m okay with people having gender and I even have a gender but I feel it’s arbitrary and restrictive and that a progressing society will naturally and gradually move past it)

Like I feel the “healthier” romantic and platonic relationships get, the more indistinguishable they get from each other, because a lot of “toxic” behaviors in these relationships come from arbitrary and unfair expectations and limitations.

Pretty much how I feel. Especially as zoo I can be attached to wide variety of bodies clearly

Idk if I agree with acephobe strategy.

I’m aroallo pansexual who is debateably ace depending on how you define things and how you consider grey areas. Part of ID is semantics and framing and I think you can use that to ur benefit.

I’m biased being quoiromantic but I feel like romantic attraction really isn’t that distinct from other forms of attraction. So if you experience let’s say platonic attraction, perhaps you can frame that as romantic attraction. Because how romantic attraction can manifest is varied and there like infinite overlap in resulting behavior and lack thereof.

Basically manifesting an internal redefinition of romantic attraction and one that can still square with external observers.

As for asexual to sexual, maybe you can also do some reframing. I find sexuality harder to reframe because it feels more of like a specific thing to me. It helps that I’m high libido I suppose. If you have any libidio and can find mastrubation a pleasurable use of time you may be able find someone to mastrubate to and consider them a subject of your sexual attraction. You can also frame your sexual attraction as limited. Like mine is pretty limited in that it can mostly be explained by fictosexual and demisexual (plus I guess I’m attracted to people I see in porn, or maybe sometimes I just like the acts) and I’m arguably greysexual but that’s not how I tend to frame it.

Interesting. Masking for me can be subconscious and automatic, like having a “survival” response before having an authentic response. There’s gray areas though. Like maybe I can consciously feel “wrongness” in my response but not sure why or what my authentic response would be instead.

Part of masking for me is feeling like I can’t “waste others time” with slow reaction. I’ve heard that part of some people’s learning unmasking is to give themselves room to say nothing and have “awkward pauses” and that sounds like what we are gonna have to do if we want to unmask more
