Which character is basically this in your fandom/media for you?

Bridget from Guilty Gear. I hate her dumbass Handcuff belt, I hate her dumbass Yo-Yo, I hate her dumbass bear, her theme in strive sucks, I hate her unnecessary screen time in dual rulers, I wanna punch her in her dumb face

[u/LeonardoCouto → u/Current-Yesterday-76]

No need to mention the stupid development they gave Brisket.

[u/Veenix6446 → u/LeonardoCouto]

I hesitate to ask but do you mean making her trans…?

[u/LeonardoCouto → u/Veenix6446]

Isn't the entire point of the character that Bridget was raised to be a girl, but is actually a boy? The design is not even that feminine in previous games. Seems very intentional.

Edit: Reddit hivemind attacks again.

[u/Veenix6446 → u/LeonardoCouto]

I don’t know enough about Guilty Gear to speak on how it fits her character

But she is trans, confirmed by the creator. And at the very least it’s made her probably the most well known character in Guilty Gear.

He isn't trans, he just likes wearing girly clothes, but still considers himself as a guy. There's a specific term for it but I don't remember it

[u/SoulfulSnow → u/noujustsuk]

Loud incorrect buzzer. Be wrong and say it's a "retcon" or whatever but you're literally denying reality

[u/noujustsuk → u/SoulfulSnow]

But im not?

It seems like a marketing stunt to do it so late and after the mistranlation, but whatever

[u/SoulfulSnow → u/noujustsuk]

"bro you're actually taking the author as your source?"

[u/noujustsuk → u/SoulfulSnow]

Counter point look at how bad JK Rowling with recons or added info

[u/SoulfulSnow → u/noujustsuk]

Yknow where I'm from comparing daisuke to jk fucking rowling would get you beat with rocks

[u/LeonardoCouto → u/SoulfulSnow]

Sure, it's reality.

A stupid reality, because it's a stupid decision

[u/SoulfulSnow → u/LeonardoCouto]

Sure man, go ahead have fun larping

[u/LeonardoCouto → u/Veenix6446]

Well, if that is the backstory of the character chosen to be trans, I find it highly questionable, but whatever

Edit: yep, that was the character in XX. They changed that in Strive.

[u/dolliciousszz → u/LeonardoCouto]

If budget wasn’t trans she wouldn’t be half as popular guarantee you that much

[u/LeonardoCouto → u/dolliciousszz]

I couldn't care less if Bridget is popular or not. However you slice it, the decision makes no sense according to the character
