DEATH OF THE AUTHOR WAS ABOUT DENYING TRANS WOMEN IN FICTION??????????
SHUT THE FUCK UP, HOLY SHIT IT'S REAL
the essay deadass starts with "it is unknowable through what lens and mentality daisuke operated when he declared that bridget was a girl"

Ela Bambust 🏳️⚧️ (alleged transsexual)
Ada Basilisk, Haunted Doll VTuber
I'll be honest, I've never really felt the same way about Death of the Author after learning its origins (Barthes was angry over a Balzac story about a chaser, written over a century prior, for referring to a character as a woman instead of a femboy no I'm not making this up)
