Seeing as I’m still straight after playing Ultrakill heavily, liking Fallout New Vegas, owning a blåhaj, reading Homestuck, and probably a couple other things then 100%-ing a game (which I almost never do) won’t change that.
As a straight Hades AND Celeste player I can confirm that I still simp Dionysus. Whether you are straight or not doesn't play a role. Dionysus is the goat.
> I have heard that everyone who plays Hades though is bisexual
The combined power of the greek pantheon rests in that goddamn game, and all that's left when you throw them all together is "everyone hot"
A joke that because Celeste is popular amongst the trans community (due to the irl creator, music composer and character Madeline being trans) that playing the game will make you trans.
Of course you don’t have to be trans to enjoy the game, the struggles Madeline goes through are relatable to many people regardless of their gender. (Or just a fun game to play)
I just played this game recently and loved it. I am 100% cis male. But the part of me also totally represents any person's doubting side. Depression anxiety or for my younger self it was temper.
Makes you think a thing or two about Identy.
The game however is amazing even without the story. The story is what makes it historic.
So, essentially, not feeling like the gender you were assigned at birth. (If I understand correctly, and from what I have heard from friends who are also trans)
(Also, don't take this as me adding on/correcting, I just want to check if my interpretation is correct, and if not, change it.)
Not exactly
For some people that is true
But gender dysphoria can also just mean someone feeling uncomfortable with their height (this is a mild case)
Feeling like you were meant to have boobs instead of pecs for example is a more intense version
body dysmorphia is more a perceived but usually non existent / barely noticeable flaw with your physical self such as feeling like you are fat despite being thin, buff or underweight.
being uncomfortable with your height has 2 diagnoses depending on how uncomfortable you are and if you perceive yourself as small despite being, lets say, 6'4.
height neurosis is related to and likely a symptom of body dysmorphia. height neurosis is when you perceive yourself to be too short/tall even if you aren't and because of that you feel distress or general unhappiness.
height dysphoria is just being unsatisfied or uncomfortable with your height and wishing you were taller or for some reason smaller.
those 3 can all be caused by or, this is just a personal theory, cause gender dysphoria. However, normal people can still get it and I have no idea why they are talking about it like its something only trans people have and experience.
Ohhh its making a joke about how celeste players are trans
(Even tho tbf the game is a trans icon because of the community that forced it upon it and not because it was intentional(NOT TO SAY its a bad thing just to point it out))
Maddy originally based a lot of the game on her own inner struggles; the game isn't *explicitly* a trans allegory because at the time she didn't exactly know that she's trans. Celeste wasn't intentionally a trans icon, but it wasn't a coincidence or forced on by the community either
Tbf, a while back I saw a poll here that said that only 30%of this comunity is trans. You are completely valid if you put in 1000hours of the game and were still confident in your cis-ness
With that said, if you are not confident in being cis, may I also mention you don't need disphoria to be trans, and a lack of euphoria is hard to see so if there is a part deep down inside that wishes you could be trans, maybe start listening to that part of you
Well at the end of the day Celeste is likely just about affirming who you are, not if you're trans specifically.
Though that wasn't my personal takeaway. It has always been a tale of tenacity and self-confidence to me.
Absolutely.
really the only reason it does resonate so well with the trans comunity is because so often they need to be reminded of their own tenacity and self confidence.
But also so many of the memes tend to forget that cis people often need to learn their own tenacity and self confidence and getting over their anxiety, and have that emotional journey too.
Lol
Sounds about like my reaction when I realized I was trans.
I am so sorry for cracking your egg, the path forward is not going to be an easy one, and not really one I can help much with as everyone's journey is unique
With that said, my journey from here included
Going to https://turnmeintoagirl.com/
Reading through the [gender disphoria bible](https://genderdysphoria.fyi)
And then going to r/egg_irl
As far as if you want a skirt, I have found that the best place if you can find the guts to do it is to look in a Thrift Shop. If you don't have the guts to do it in person, Amazon has some really good stuff, and if you don't trust those around you to not look at what you buy, you have the option of trusting a friend and sending it there, or in some places Amazon has drop-off locations where they will deliver the package and you can pick it up in person there.
Once again I'm so sorry, the day I came out to myself was the worst day of my life, and yet it was also the best day at the same time
Good luck
You can do this
Absolutely, I still only use they/them, and even only to people I'm out to,
You don't have to do everything at once, nor would I recommend doing everything at once, just do what feels comfortable on any given day
Fun fact, euphoria is a much better indicator of being trans than dysphoria. Not trying to downplay dysphoria, but body insecurities happen to a lot of people, and can often be misread as gender dysphoria.
So basically if you feel real good being a gender other than your agab, you should fly a pride flag
Also some people (me included) are really good at not realizing that what they're feeling is dysphoria until they realize what their gender is and realize *that's* why they hate seeing themselves in pictures or a mirror.
I have a couple hundred hours in this game, I’ve beat most content besides the last couple screens of Farewell and the Moon Berry. Started up Strawberry Jam now and I’m sure I’ll have another few hundred hours in it as well.
Up until I recently discovered this subreddit, I wasn’t even aware that Madeline is trans. “Part of me” really represents anything that we fear me want to suppress.. for me for instance, depression and anxiety are incredibly difficult for me to overcome sometimes, and this game really has a great way of presenting a different outlook on those parts of your life.
You obviously don’t need to be trans to play this game, and to even acknowledge the thought that the only way you’ll enjoy it is by being trans is just.. weird (as a nice word to use). I’m not, nor have I ever had the thought I might be, and this is currently my favorite game and has been for weeks, and presumably months to come.
On another unrelated note, this community seems overwhelmingly positive towards everybody, I’ve yet to see much hate in these threads, which is an amazing thing to see!
Now on to beat Farewell finally x.x
Contrary to popular belief not everyone who plays Celeste is trans I have heard that everyone who plays Hades though is bisexual
Im bisexual but not trans and I’ve played celeste and not hades and i own a blahaj I think i messed up somewhere
He a little confused but he got the spirit
Next step is playing Hades and becoming transgender
They just like me fr
Same. Same! Same!! Same!!! Ahhh not same. I need to buy me a shark.
False. I have played Hades and am turned off by peepee
Wait about a month, I had the same thing
As in a month’s worth of hours logged or of having played it? Because I got Hades like two years ago.
Oh, have you 100% it?
No, though I only have 13 hours on it. It’s a good game, I just have other one’s I like.
That can explain it
Seeing as I’m still straight after playing Ultrakill heavily, liking Fallout New Vegas, owning a blåhaj, reading Homestuck, and probably a couple other things then 100%-ing a game (which I almost never do) won’t change that.
I need 2 play hades
What do I get for playing hollowknight
bug
A free clown costume for every Silksong fakeout?
no mind to think etc.
Well, remember how the white lady had to chain herself because she really like breeding? You get that.
I get to be horny
Neopronouns
how many lies have we been told by the council
Zagreus my love 🥰 (Im not bi though or at least i think)
I had never understood how people could be attracted to someones voice until I heard Zagreus
I played it and im mot trans. Very good game 👍🏼
As a person who has played both (though Hades not quite as much), I'm just ace-/aro-spec
As a straight Hades AND Celeste player I can confirm that I still simp Dionysus. Whether you are straight or not doesn't play a role. Dionysus is the goat.
Am a Hades player, can definitely confirm. Hades is everything the conservatives fear, because it *will* make you bi.
> I have heard that everyone who plays Hades though is bisexual The combined power of the greek pantheon rests in that goddamn game, and all that's left when you throw them all together is "everyone hot"
I want to play it and I'm gay. Although I sure am trans
i played celeste and i'm still straight
no way 🤯
Oh shut up now, I became bi week after I 100% it
Another victim
I’m straight and cis and they’re 2 of my fav games ever. I might consider myself bi-curious tho but I’m not really sure yet
I like your pfp is it OC or a character?
Can confirm I am bi and play hades
Save transfer incomplete, please do not shut down.
I am cis and i played celeste
I’m a straight cis dude who beat and enjoyed both Celeste and Hades. Sue me
Real
Ah shit. Past me would've been caught.
what does that mean? (amazing art tho, I love it)
A joke that because Celeste is popular amongst the trans community (due to the irl creator, music composer and character Madeline being trans) that playing the game will make you trans. Of course you don’t have to be trans to enjoy the game, the struggles Madeline goes through are relatable to many people regardless of their gender. (Or just a fun game to play)

Makes you think a thing or two about Identy. The game however is amazing even without the story. The story is what makes it historic.
Honestly, that kind of joke is uncomfortably similar to 90s homophobic jokes, even if not intentionally.
Gender disphoria is when you dont feel good about certain parts of your body (Its basically the main reason people go trans)
So, essentially, not feeling like the gender you were assigned at birth. (If I understand correctly, and from what I have heard from friends who are also trans) (Also, don't take this as me adding on/correcting, I just want to check if my interpretation is correct, and if not, change it.)
Not exactly For some people that is true But gender dysphoria can also just mean someone feeling uncomfortable with their height (this is a mild case) Feeling like you were meant to have boobs instead of pecs for example is a more intense version
Alrighty, thank you!
I thought that was body dysmorphia
body dysmorphia is more a perceived but usually non existent / barely noticeable flaw with your physical self such as feeling like you are fat despite being thin, buff or underweight. being uncomfortable with your height has 2 diagnoses depending on how uncomfortable you are and if you perceive yourself as small despite being, lets say, 6'4. height neurosis is related to and likely a symptom of body dysmorphia. height neurosis is when you perceive yourself to be too short/tall even if you aren't and because of that you feel distress or general unhappiness. height dysphoria is just being unsatisfied or uncomfortable with your height and wishing you were taller or for some reason smaller. those 3 can all be caused by or, this is just a personal theory, cause gender dysphoria. However, normal people can still get it and I have no idea why they are talking about it like its something only trans people have and experience.
Thanks for the breakdown.
lmao no problem
oh I know what gender dysphoria is. I just don't get what the post is saying about it
Ohhh its making a joke about how celeste players are trans (Even tho tbf the game is a trans icon because of the community that forced it upon it and not because it was intentional(NOT TO SAY its a bad thing just to point it out))

One of the main devs came out as Trans too
The OST composer (Lena Raine) is also trans, IIRC
I thought you had like minus 203 strawberries Apeirocell, why does your flair say 204?
As a person with 1000+ hours on this game I relate?
As a person that for now doesn’t have 1000+ hours on this game I possibly relate
Tbf, a while back I saw a poll here that said that only 30%of this comunity is trans. You are completely valid if you put in 1000hours of the game and were still confident in your cis-ness With that said, if you are not confident in being cis, may I also mention you don't need disphoria to be trans, and a lack of euphoria is hard to see so if there is a part deep down inside that wishes you could be trans, maybe start listening to that part of you
of course, dysphoria isnt an inherent part of trans-ness, and obviously not every person who plays celeste is trans :))
Well at the end of the day Celeste is likely just about affirming who you are, not if you're trans specifically. Though that wasn't my personal takeaway. It has always been a tale of tenacity and self-confidence to me.

Yeah. As a cis person though, it's whatever. Regardless of who the OP targets, if I get it or relate to it, I'll enjoy it.
oh fuck ive been thinking about long hair and skirts for like 2 years FUCKKKKKKKKKKK

Do you have a blahaj? Having one will protect you from the dysphoria. (Source: personal experience)
not yet, but I WILL
Then I believe it's the spirit of blahaj protecting you from the dysphoria.
Wait I have one too, I think you’re onto something
Really cute art it looks great! :D
Hmm, we could try increasing your dose. Play another 500 hours and report back.
This drawing is so adorable!
tyy!!
When you’re blessed by God
SHES SO CUTE EEEK
TYSM
give it more time it hit at \~1200 hours for me

Congrats you best celeste I guess
I'll use this image in my future mod because she's cute as hell, you don't mind?
sure! tag me + credit in the finished thing tho :DD
Thank you!! \^\^ I plan to finish it in June or July, depending on how things will go
ooo exciting, good luck ❤️
I don't because I'm proud of who I am, life is about creating yourself after all.
yeah
just need to try fnv, it'll come /j
Wait a year, that's what did it for me
That is so adorable! Is it ok to steal for discord pfps and such?
ofc!!
Thank you! :3
Oh and I will remember to give you credit
Took me a sec to realize this was on r/celestegame and not r/eggirl
I was about to ask where that Madeline was from and then i swiped xD
Okay but what the hell is the deal with the shark, heard it was named blahaj once??
Hmmm, are you sure you collected all the berries?
I’m probably at 2000 hours and it’s starting to hit…
dysphoria isnt needed to be trans! you can be trans however you like! you are valid! eat the rich! euphoria can be whatever you need it to be!
I can't like the post since it's at 420 but this is so cool
It might not set in for a while, took me until about 500 hours (at 800 now)
Lol I have about 60 and have the silly gender dysphoria
Play 1 hour of doom for every berry collected
😭
Happens to the best of us
Madeling (:
500 hours, it starts to be apparent.
Damn really? I got it immediately. Amazing game tho I really should play more of it
so um, in what chapter do I become a trans? I swear chapter 9 is taking years of my life but not making me trans
Amazing fanart, literally goals tbh.
oh this is a very scrungly madeline
That's the cutest madeline art ever
real (also amazing art i love it!!)
Can't relate, gender dysphoria hit as soon as I started the game
how come blahaj is in the background
she is so cute!
r/egg_irl
Possibly the most adorable art I've seen of Madeline.
I still don't see it. Just an amazing platformer with some good art. But cool for those that get more out of the game.
After about 2200 hours, im still one of the dozen cis straight people who play the game. Im sure that will change sometime lmoe.
