Do you think it’s purely hateful or do you think it has some merit in certain contexts?
Personally I think it is a transphobic and dehumanizing term that objectifies and sexualizes trans women based on our anatomy, that should never be used in any context, but I’d love to hear what other people think.
Personally, I see the obsession with the sexual side of manga/anime as unhealthy to say the least. It portrays unrealistic situations which some people view as a fact of life, especially younger folk who are inundated with it (see: memes). Throwing the transgender “futa” on top of it doesn’t help matters, and while it may seem “kawaii”, if you ever do experience anything they show, it’s an exception, not the norm.
