Disputation on Puppygirls, Orientalism, and Fetishizing One's Own Suffering
1517, OCTOBER 31st.
A set of theses plastered on the front door of the All Saints' Church.
A lone woman stands there with a hammer.
It could be ascertained that indulgences were the problem, Mary lamented, writing her message, before the holy day. She wrote and wrote, describing the issues of those within the Church, her fellow academics, and her fellow worshippers. Because at the very bottom of the problem was that something was wrong: no, that something was very wrong.
She could no longer hold her head high with the collar around her neck; as other girls barked and clawed at God.
Redemption needs to not just come from within, she wrote, and it cannot be given to others by someone else.

DISCLAIMERS
This work is a piece of fiction. Though it is based off a real person’s work (Martin Luther’s 95 Theses), it is in no way otherwise affiliated to any real persons, dead or alive. Any further resemblances are purely coincidental.
Additionally, 红中 is not white.

On Puppy Politics: A Discursive Analysis of 红中的 95 THESES
Analysis by A_Y_BING:
Authored by 红中, a queer member of the Chinese-Indonesian western diaspora, 95 THESES is a visual novel that aims to deconstruct whiteness, its associated privilege, exclusionism, and the fetishisation of ‘the orient’ (defined, in its satirical context, as referring to the countries of [east] Asia) that continues to be relevant to contemporary leftist socio-political climate and sheds light on an under-discussed anthropological perspective. Specifically, the author’s criticism is directed at a phenomenon that has exploded within the LGBTQ+ community and has gained popularity both online and offline: puppygirls. Although the feminine suffix carries its own connotations, puppygirls are simply a facet of a wider school of thought that is not necessarily exclusive to the MtF transgender community. Thus, going forward in this essay, I will be using the self-coined term ‘puppy politics’ as the point of discussion, defined briefly here as an ideology that pushes innocence by virtue of ignorance.
