ayrt of course there is no rule explicitly excluding trans characters, in an m/f pairing or otherwise, on the other kmeme. but let's not pretend it's a welcoming environment thanks to the userbase, and let's also not pretend that a big part of the reason this new meme even exists is in response to that hostile/exclusionary atmosphere. i know the whole "gay wasteland" falling out played a large role too, but the cishet straight brigade heralded it all and still exists as a common enemy

there's also the fact that the fkm mod disappeared like two months ago so it's currently a godless anarchy lol. it's just... when you have meme A and meme B, and A is cesspit despite all efforts, and B is pitched as an alternative to A, it's just not a legitimate solution to say to people who are looking to escape all that to "just go back to meme A if you have a problem," y'know?

i really appreciate all of the people, mods and average users alike, who are trying their best to make things right for the fandom. we've got ourselves a real post-apocalyptic mess to sort through and i know most of us just want to be able to enjoy our fandom
