The 'Bridget was female/trans' was funnier in the line of, to even get the ending you'd need to get non-flawless run, and the context was actually he was too tired correcting all people who calls him a girl. In the perfect, no-damage run he'll stand up for himself and correcting people who mistaken him for a girl.

In other words, another of the 'gaming journalist' moment.

Oh okay, instead of trying to argue she's not trans like half the other dipshits on the internet, now it's just a case of the creator being too exasperated by people calling her a girl caving into pressure from... who, exactly? This amount of copium has to be unsafe for the human brain

Objectively incorrect! The scene everyone is talking about is the result of a successful run on hard mode.

I mean, seriously — if you have a video of that "no-damage run" outcome, where Bridget affirms her rugged masculinity and not an unambiguous, joyful celebration of being who she is on her own terms (which is, y'know, reflected in her in-game bio), I'm sure you'll be happy to produce it as evidence?

If something this goes into the hilarious conclusion that the same group of people whose banner was avoiding "hurtful stereotypes" wasn't for a better world, but for pushing their own versions.

Girl likes sports and short hair... trans
Boy loves dressing as a girl and trolling people... more or less the original concept of trap is trans.

Boy is obliged to dress as a girl, and just roll with it... trans, what comes with the double entendre of forcing people into, what is supposed to be kinda bad, or so.

But nuance and self reflection are scarse in the face of looking righteous and trend follower in social media.

On another note, this kind of stuff won't be happening if Japanese companies do one of two things. Putting stricter guidelines to their translations teams in North America, or default transting them the scripts and removing the middleman.

This has absolutely zero to do with the translation. Stop presuming and go look at the media you're talking about.

If some of ya'll are gonna talk about the context of the endings proving Bridget isn't trans, maybe you should actually play the game or watch the scenes on Youtube. All you're doing is proving you'll believe whatever unverified claims you find on Twitter.

Bridget is a boy raised as a girl and formed a mental habit of dressing in girls clothes due to years of indoctrination that he was a girl. In the real world that's called "grooming." in the video game it was called "protecting his life from an moronic tradition", till he decided t try and establish his masculinity. But now he's apparently just giving up and accepting that he;s a girl out of frustration that people keep confusing him as a girl.

That sort of "grooming" happens only in the imaginations of hysterical conspiracy theorists. It's slanderous nonsense with no grounding in reality, and anyone acting like it's a serious real-world concern cannot possibly be taken seriously. In one short sentence you managed to throw away whatever credibility you may have had.

Just to clarify this before someone takes it out of context: grooming is absolutely a real thing that actually happens. What doesn't happen is someone being raised as something other than their biological sex and being conditioned to grow up to be trans.

That's also not what happened in the story. Iirc, Bridget's parents never actually treated her as a girl, only raised her as one so her fellow villagers wouldn't fucking murder her. She revealed herself to the village as male after she became a succesful bounty hunter, and was accepted by them. It's been six or seven years since then, living as a male who chooses to dress (and girate her hips) like a girl. No one forced her to change her mind on her gender, and she's had years of living as a male to eventually come to the conclusion that it wasn't making her happy.

Nobody was groomed, Bridget just grew up and learned to make her own decisions about who she is.

Comments: gender politics.

Me and the other cultured people that are just happy that Bridget is back, enjoying the fanart and the lewds that come with it.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty obvious that I was talking about the kind of "grooming" talked about by homophobic/transphobic idiots on cable news and not the actual grooming perpetrated by pedophiles. But it's probably best to state this explicitly because otherwise someone will definitely choose to read it the wrong way.

A friend of a friend of a friend, right? Even if that's an honest account, you do realize that's not a thing that actually happens very often, right? There's not some evil trans agenda to turn children trans.

"Grooming" happens to *adults*. What makes you think it won't happen to teens and younger? Why would you assume evil people who exploit others would stop short of the most exploitable?

I have no idea how you could have gotten that from anything in that video. She never says anything like that, never even implies it. In one ending, all of which are confirmed canon by official sources btw, she says she's a girl, and in not one single ending does she say anything contrary to that. The only time in that whole bit she says she's a boy is at the very beginning, when she's still unsure about who she is and who she should be.

Bridget is generally an stupid mental homosexual that dresses like every male wants to be a female

And trans are so desperate for validation that they'll take any character that doesn't conform to sexists stereotype and make them trans. Case in point. It's only a matter of time before Kanji from Persona 4 is claimed to be trans, same for Ellen Ripley.

This happens because trans individuals have very, very few fictional characters to rally behind. In the same way Astolfo was adopted by the trans community as an idol, it came from a place of admiration and a lack of a better model. Trans people are not evil, and they aren't trying to "take away our femboys." Simply put, they have no other figures to identify with.

Bridget changes this, and it's exactly why she has blown up.

This feels like it sits in a similar vein to the 'Poison' incident. I think it's best to leave such things be in the same way SF did, 'leave it up to the fans,' in this case just respecting, reasonable and sensible interpretations of ficitional characters from each individual. Besides, I don't think a fighting game is a good ground to campaign for or against such things, especially when they're one of the types of games so prone to retconning (Gouken being dead in SF etc. etc.).

People from both sides are getting too worked up over it, best to just accept, whatever canon you have for it in your head, is the one that's right and there's no need to fight over it with someone who disagrees, afterall it's a fictional theme; otherwise this comment section is going to end up being a huge dead-end argument wall with lots of name-calling and insult hurling, and I think we can all agree, that's not a good way to spend time.

Yeah, let's remember it's up to the devs which endings will be regarded as 'canon' and not the players, because with all this 'MY THEORIES ARE CANON' screaming into each other you won't be doing anything to a FICTIONAL character. The problem is 'what influences the game writer to create this condition', which...well you can just assume for yourself.

Holy hell guys can we maybe just stop bickering about who Bridget is and just enjoy the goddamn lewds of him/her?

Tag her as 1girl and have the transgerder tag, its been done before dont be dummies.

Sorry, but even if only the last ending in your video were canon, that's still the most cliché coming out conversation possible. All of the endings support Bridget being trans, not just the one where she literally says it.

Your last sentence, I don't even know where to begin with that loaded BS.

blindVigil said:

Except he wasn't? He was originally just a crossdresser who was trying to establish that he has masculinity and isn't girly, by taking a masculine profession (Bounty hunting) and trying t capture the largest bounty possible (Dizzy) to prove he's a man. Fast forward to today where any male wearing slightly effeminate clothes is instantly labeled trans When, you know, Drag Queens have been a thing since at least the 70's. I mean the compiled quote video even outright shows his frustration at being mislabeled constantly to the point where he gives up and accepts that he's a girl.

I never had an issue with people who have that as a headcanon or such (hell yeah man, have fun with the characters) but it became quite annoying when some people started trying to make it appear like it actually was the characters' canon identity tbh. Hopefully now that Bridget is a thing they'll stan Bridget instead

cd_young said:

That's literally not what happens. She literally has an ending where she needs more time to think about who she is, then an ending where two of her friends help her realize who she truly is, and finally an ending where she looks to one of her friends for advice on how to come out to everyone else. You all being ignorant about common trans tropes and experiences doesn't change that final exchange being the most obvious conversation about the worries of coming out.

Right now, in this game she was unambiguously written to be trans. She's had six years since she revealed to her village that she was male to think about what she actually wanted, and it just took her until now figure it out and start working up the courage to be honest about it.

Unless you nimrods actually fucking think the thing she's so worried about telling someone is that she's actually a man, the thing she already told everyone years ago.

cd_young said:

She corrected them twice at the beginning, and did so hesitantly, like she didn't really mean it, unlike before when she was very upfront about it. She then spends the ENTIRE rest of the scenario gradually coming to terms with who she really is. Why are you trying so hard to act like only that one bit at the very beginning has more weight than the actual endings? Her scenario is littered with trans subtext so obvious a barely literate kindergartener would have an easier time understanding it than you have, because they wouldn't be obviously trying to grasp at the smallest inconsequential details to push a narrative counter to the one the ENTIRE scenario enforces.

cd_young said:

That doesn't actually fucking mesh with the question you're replying to. What is it about her identity she's struggling with and comes to realize at the end? It is not the thing she's already told everyone before, so what is it? No ending has anything to suggest it's "I'm still a boy", either. You have the media literacy of a tomato.

You know, as strange as I find it that Bridget comes back and is suddenly a trans girl and all that it frankly doesn't matter what I think: it's canon. What's done is done and hopefully I'll be comfortable with the change as a whole despite growing up respecting Her as a crossdressing boy that still kicked asses. Frankly, it doesn't change the fact that it's Bridget and that I'm damn happy to see her back; regardless of what she wants to call herself.

It's kind of ironic seeing you get up in arms over people "taking" feminine boys, when you previously suggested only people living unsatisfying lives would even enjoy traps, and that's the least egregious of some of the things you've said.

If you're willing to believe that the people raging over this right now are specifically upset about feminine boys being taken from them, rather than the same old "<marginalized group> is suddenly being represented in my anime/videogames/porn and I don't like it", then perhaps you'd be interested in some real estate I'm selling on Mars.

I didn't know this, and honestly all I can say is that guy is more pathetic than I thought he was after looking at that comment history in general.

So, Bridget is still coming to terms she is a girl, but is gradually accepting it.

Bridget being trans is something i don't mind however it brought alot toxicity i didn't knew existed, from both sides.
Sightly disappointed, maybe i'm just native

in the past few years, people were talking about a very very slippery slope about the lgbtq where they will leave not the children alone, and it was regarded a the usual conspiracy theory of lunatics.

crazy how the slope isnt a slippery slope anymore, but an avalanche in comparison

Pretty much

Have any of the transphobes on this post complaining about Bridget coming out as trans actually played Guilty Gear? Do any of them understand Japanese, so that they can read both Strive's original script and the numerous Japanese-language interviews out there saying that Bridget was always meant to be trans? I don't see why these bigots complain about wokeness in Western media but completely overlook the leftist themes of Japanese media like One Piece, Chainsaw Man and Gundam.

The real issue is that people insist there can only be one interpretation of a character, and can only be one form of that character. People seeing Astolfo as (potentially) trans representation is inevitable and fine; but people insisting "the character can ONLY be trans and that if you like them for any other reason you're a bigot," that is... another thing. I agree with your last statement and I do think it's possible, but I also feel sorry for Bridget's old fanbase.

I genuinely believe that the people flinging this kind of shit aren't trans at all. They're just whiteknights.
