  • Reminds me of Jung’s theory around The Gaze, and how by ourselves we are our own subjects, capable of authoring our own paths, but as soon as another being is introduced and we’re subject to their gaze, their own aspect of being a subject necessarily forces some objectification upon us (and us on them). It’s interesting theory, and a good examination of why some people feel so incredibly uncomfortable with others around.

    I used to think my desire to play female characters was a “closeted trans” thing. It’s not. I’m definitely a cis gendered male. I’ve realized, at least for me, it’s more of a self worth thing. I don’t want to play as something I don’t particularly like, such as me, and so I play something as opposite as possible. I’m working on that, tho.
