Hi

[slashbolt]

Taking LSD and returning to this site like Eric Finch from V for Vendetta returning to the concentration camps and hallucinating a bunch of offensive trans caricatures that come out and embrace me while I cry about how I miss them

“There’s a distinction!” Girl, transphobes don’t distinguish trans women from effeminate cis men. It’s a slur and it harms both groups

in my experience lots of the latter group embraced it, the negative connotation with "trapping" a cis guy instead becoming a point of pride at not being distinguishable from women.

the former group that DO have a problem with it have a problem with everything. nobody cares. it was a new style/tribe/whatever that gay men could express themselves with and use to interact with each other but y'all make everything about yourselves so now it's a sLuR

[strawberry-crocodile]

Let me make myself perfectly clear; Bridget was always a trans woman. Her character, and characters like her, were popularized as and probably created as a way to sexualize trans women without respecting our identities. The word trap was literally redifined to refer to trans women for her. Her penis was the focal point of her character. She was an object of sexualization, and she was AMAB. People who looked and acted like that did not identify as boys at the time.

She follows a specific archetype of characters who have bodies like trans women, act like women, but constantly assure the viewer that theyre A Man. Just recognize that; the image of our bodies was stripped away from us and used as a puppet to oppose our identities and sexualize us. Thats horrifying.

For the creators to step back on that, to say that it was always a denial of the reality of trans women in universe, isn’t stealing representation from poor cis men, its an acknowledgement of wrongs and giving back what was taken.

And if you’re upset that trans women are being given their rep back, that’s something you need to fucking grapple with. If you formed your identity around the appropriated image of trans women, thats something you need to deal with. Im not saying you’re actually a woman, I’m just saying thank a tranny next time you meet one. Show some respect and listen.

That’s very odd because on the Japanese version of the website they call him a boy.

You can even look for yourself. Using Google Translate’s Website feature, you can put in the link to Bridget’s Character Profile on the official Guilty Gear Site. Here’s a link.

I suppose for some reason they presented it different to Western audiences. It’s almost like our hemisphere is full of incredibly insecure and hysterical children that need their media to reinforce certain worldviews. Strange!

Bro, you’re not slick. Here’s the same page I linked to, but the Japanese version.

Raw text:

（石渡）

ブリジットの性別について多くお問い合わせ頂いているのですが、アーケードモードのブリジットストーリーを経て、ブリジットは自分を女性と自認するようになりました。 なので『彼』と『彼女』のどちらの代名詞が正しいかと聞かれたら、ブリジットは『彼女』にあてはまります。

Google Translate:

(Ishiwatari)

We’ve been getting a lot of inquiries about Bridget’s gender, but after going through Bridget’s story in Arcade Mode, Bridget has identified herself as a woman. So when asked which pronoun is correct, ‘he’ or 'she’, Bridget answers 'she’. 

And just to nail the point home, Daisuke uses the “she” pronoun far more times than necessary in the paragraphs after just to drive the point home.
