The Bloody, Brutal, and Trans Horror of Dasaku (Script Preview)
Added 2023-10-21 19:23:14 +0000 UTCAfter many requests and a LOT of writing, I've finally fulfilled a nearly year long promise to cover Dasaku! And it left me with... many many thoughts.
Chances are this video may launch publicly on the 30th so I can have something spooky for halloween, but it will be up earlier for patrons in both fully uncensored and only-gore censored versions. The script it self is safe for work at least.

See you all soon, and have a spooky October! \o/

There's something indescribably cool to learning that one of the scenarists behind XX of the Dead (the OVA of which had a major role helping me feel out the shape of my erotic horror fascination) also wrote something so acutely focused on transness and queer horror. Excited to watch this with my boyfriend (who's admittedly much more of a guro connoisseur than me xD) later this year! Thank you for your continuing work on eroge research and criticism.

2023-10-23 19:53:23 +0000 UTCIt's something that I wrestled with for a long time, and I wish I could give good advice on how to sort it out. I think the only thing that really gave me clarity is a lot of dialogue with myself after interacting with media like Dasaku and other trans centered narratives. If you haven't heard of IFS therapy and don't have a mental condition that conflicts with the "talk to your emotions" basis of it, then I really recommend checking it out for complicated subjects like this.

2023-10-23 17:35:37 +0000 UTCThere are a lot of times when this topic comes up that I wonder if my desire quote unquote "fully transition" (i.e. get all the surgeries and everything) is really authentically mine. I fully acknowledge that I want my transness to be a thing that I only have to share with people I want to, and nobody else has to know, because that just seems like less hassle, especially since I have a customer facing job. I honestly spend a lot of time wondering if any of this is healthy, or if I'm basically just doing what Toboso is doing: chasing any physical signifier of womanhood that will let me cover up the fact that I don't feel secure in myself.

For many years I struggled with my fascination with horror and guro. However, once I recognized it was a way of catharsis I ended up understanding that I was not a depraved freak. Sometimes we need to face our fears or struggles in a controlled environment in order to see it from a healthier perspective.

2023-10-21 23:16:17 +0000 UTCi'll save my thoughts for the actual video, but i seriously can't think of a single example i've ever come across of a narrative addressing how fundamentally harmful and reactionary terf/radfem ideology is, that's really interesting
