A well written and presented story focused on self acceptance, societal expectations and gaslighting, early internet culture and interaction, fandom, and the fragility of partly anonymous but meaningful online friendships and relationships. Set in 1999 where you engage with your friends through instant messenger, doing a good job capturing the feel of its use, and an online community focused around a magical girl anime. Story condensed in length with final parental interaction standing in more for dealing with and overcoming a lifetime of masculine societal expectations, rather than something overcome in a day and a out of nowhere group messaging system.
