Very good post. I know - or used to know - such a girl. Everything you posted applies to her 1:1, even though she isn't a tranny yet. We were in the same class some years ago and had been so since the
beginning of school. It's incredible how accurate your post is. Pipeline is basically: Obsessed with some subculture, frequently shifting between them and feeling confused -> Looking for new ones -> Finding Minecraft gamers -> Wanting not just to be part of a subculture, but to become the person. A sort of autogynephilia but with community and belonging projected onto a single person. Women want more than anything a place to be, someone to guide them, and setting them free and liberating them has made the more sensitive types unable to do anything but cling to the last straws of male figures, which is why it is incredibly gay for the wholesome nationalist males to place all their problems on lack of belonging, proving them either faggots or feds under the thumb of a fat woman. With the simultaneous attack on every competent character, and the lack of "real men", one can imagine the stress reaction, showing itself in these girls, in Paglias feminism, etc.
Why Minecraft then? Some have speculated that it's unisex, but I think it's more: Minecraft is nostalgic. It reminds one of a childhood lost. It's not shocking, it's safe, there is almost no death, definitely no blood, and the amount of battles that exist I haven't seen any girls participate in; they do not care about the ender dragon, but instead the cute pigs at the farm and the music; no, killing and surviving the night is in a sense where a proper man has his place - and this role is fulfilled by the male gamer.
It's an attempt to serve a male in a safe way. These girls are weak. They don't want to have a real man, who might hurt them, or have any real power. Moreover they don't know how to orient themselves in this world, and therefore cling to childhood, to "daddy", to the safe world of Minecraft streamers. They then mix up the intense desire for their own lost childhood with the gamer, the dad and themselves.
The emo scene was the complete opposite response,where she leans into the madness of the world, she refuses to be safe, she goes "insane", she wants to fuck the skinny white emo guy and will present herself in a new image for him. Completely reverse. White girls love subcultures in a world without courtesy and competency, and will give anything to get it back. The pooners want to do anything but the necessary: engage with the unsafe.
That's all I have to say. Excellent post
