And I say that as a femme mainly into butches fyi, it just irks me that masculinising/butchifying characters, just like feminizing chars are often used for top/bottom discourse about chars and it's so UGH please let's just try to characterize characters properly and capture their essence

Honestly it's just kind of wanting characterization to be precise for me
Masculinising a femme, to me, feels like feminizing a butch, it's like taking away parts of what makes them them yknow ?
Of course it depends on the relationship of the char with femininity, but some femmes shouldn't be butches

Honestly, as someone who is currently on last released arc, Columbina can be seen as romantic with 3 women aside from traveller very easily (Sandrone, Lauma and Arle), it really is a big found family trope. The traveller is genuinely not pushed that much more compared to others
