As a misotheist I legitimately do like the whole "the moon is a TERF" trope, I take more satisfaction in the idea that my existence is a rebellion against the divine, but certainly cis women and maybe even most TME nonbinary people should handle those moon blood tropes with carehttps://twitter.com/gwenckatz/status/1310214393523658753 …

Yeah - which tips it over into a kind of "tragic queer story" version of problematic, rather than a simple queerphobic one.

Though tbf, the series has sad, or at least bittersweet, conclusions for most characters.

I'm glad to hear it, that just didn't seem obvious to me from the story.

Yeah, Thessaly is clearly written to be one of the least sympathetic, most infuriatingly smug characters in the Sandman universe. Nothing about her is ever portrayed as sympathetic.

The problem with the story is that it's this goth tragedy thing where Wanda is a good person who deserves better but all the forces of the world are arrayed against her and she can't find happiness except in death

Which is a generally relatable mood that underpins the whole goth thing but for multiple reasons people are tired of, especially for trans/queer stories

Rowling said multiple times that Dumbledore was gay but that’s still not the story she wrote and if people had grappled with that a decade+ earlier we could have saved a lot of time

This story is absolutely critical of transmisogyny. Textually. And as a former wiccan and a former pagan it's absolutely consistent with the experiences of a (self-described goth) writer who's specifically seen fucked up biologically absolutist things in those communities
