sometimes i see Well-Intentioned Cis Proships talking about how weird it is that so many anti-fujos are transmasc, considering how antifujo talking points are being used by legit straight-up terfs so frequently these days

TL;DR: it's the truscums' fault.


and the context they're missing is that yeah, while antifujo talking points did start among terfs sometimes around 2015-2017 (probably on tumblr) they spread very quickly to truscum (a group largely made up of young trans men) and related groups, who saw a nice little bludgeon to hit groups they already hated ["cringey" (read, autistic), gay transmasc femboys] and didn't give a shit that terfs were talking about ALL young transmascs. the first ever large-scale harassment campaign based primarily around antifujo rhetoric that I saw play out was directly spearheaded by truscum against a fem transmasc person for "faking" being trans on the internet (because they had kinks the harassers didn't like, mostly.)

people talk mostly about the early tumblr antifujos who turned out to be TERFS/radfems/just straight up "i hate gay men" homophobes (for good reason!) but a lot of those early tumblr antifujos spent just as much time railing against "MOGAIs" and nondysphoric trans people as they did complaining about fujoshi.

truscum as a social movement aren't really around anymore but their ideas are still alive in those kinds of young queer social spaces that arise out of fandom that antis come from, and so: transmasc antifujos.
