@shibawri: how breaking bad characters wo...

how breaking bad characters would discuss the ethics of transgender puppygirls--a thread 🧵✨

jesse: dont you get it, mr white? like, duh, of course girls with comfortable gender expression are more likely to express that in other ways! you know, cuz like, theyre already transgender n stuff...

walter: to be honest with you, i just dont see how thats not infantalising.

walter: not to mention the inherent misogyny-fueled objectification of women that is being normalised when these twitter dog-girls want to use "it/its" pronouns. jesse, look at the bigger picture. dont you see this is problematic?

jesse: uhh, asshole, its a part of their self-assigned gender identity, you know? like, dysphoria n shit. arent you the science guy?

walter: i just dont think that-

jesse: get over yourself, huh? they expressing themselves into a category that defines their experiences, dude.

jesse: plus, all these puppy girls.. its not a whimsical joke for them, okay? its serious, mr white. do you think its normal for these women to have dog-like traits? learned helplessness and running back to the same abusive situations, an excitedly naive trust in people, i mean..

jesse: their immaturity doesnt make them un-matured, is all. sometimes they behave that way from conditioned abuse. remind you of someone, dick?

walter: jesse, how do you not see the clear fetishization of dependency that these trans girls perpetuate? i mean, do you really think that theyre all a result of trauma? and thats not even mentioning the opportunity that presents itself for these young girls to be preyed on.

walter: encouraging these women to partake in a damaging subculture isnt a very smart thing to do, now is it, jesse? i mean, tell me how its not just a sex thing. these are real people, jesse. they make up a part of a larger, discriminated-against LGBTQ community.

jesse: you know its not all that, mr white.

walter: how is it anything BUT that, jesse?

jesse: umm, okay, then what about therians?

walter, confused: th-therians? jesse what the fuck are you talking about?

jesse: uhh.. therians, jackass.. do you really not know? they spiritually align with that of an animal long before theyre even old enough to think of that stuff, man. to them, this stuff is reality.. its not a mindset or a kink.. its just what they are, dude.

jesse: and you know what, fuck you, okay? who cares if some girls have light-hearted intimacy in an untraditional way. how does THAT hurt you or me? plus, it comes back around, dude. a lot of these girls end up processing their trauma through sexual exploration.

jesse: i mean, having dominance over the worst chapters of your life? these arent little puppies, mr white, theyre straight alpha wolves. wolves, man.

walter: yeah, well, i just dont like it. its got too many problematic layers to it.

walter: obviously im not saying it cant help these individuals. maybe im just old to not help but think of the slippery boundaries this creates. encouraging immature behaviours, sexualising codependency... theyre vulnerable people, jesse, exploring themselves for the first time.

jesse: yeah, well... maybe we should just let people do their thing, mr white, and focus on the harm reduction aspect instead... i cant imagine your shame towards them makes the situation better.

walter: i-i guess.

*walters phone starts ringing*

walter: one sec, jesse.

walter: hey, gus...

gustavo: walter, i need you back at the facility, now. our deal has changed.

walter: our deal..? wh-what do you mean our deal has changed?

gustavo: there has been an increased demand in our product. i need you to make 600 pounds per week, starting today.

walter: gus, are you out of your mind? 600 pounds? do you know how long that will take? whats in it for me?

gustavo: $50million a year.

walter, flustered: j-jesus christ, gus... i mean, what changed? im on my way back to the lab now.

gustavo: a new buyer has entered the market. i think our profits will double, if not triple, in just the next few months.

walter: youre telling me demand has suddenly tripled? who on earth is the new buyer? surely thats way too much for any one person...?

gustavo: puppy girls.
