TIL Ishwatari is disliked and made fun of even by his own JP fanbase, to the point they call him a Westaboo, that's why majority of the JP fanbase still calls Bridgette a boy. :naruhodo:

@MoeBritannica I like how this guy slowbruhdraws is the definition of a tourist that hypes over the current thing, but dares to use the term tourist.
-
@MoeBritannica bridgitte is a boy, always has been. In all his endings he used to accept himself for who he really is and decide not to change
-
@Cayhr @MoeBritannica lol
Even going on miskey or pixiv, he's still tagged as a dude
-
@Cayhr @MoeBritannica anyone who's played guilty gear can see Bridgettes entire fucking arc was about how he wanted to be seen as a man. Bro was unironically groomed. Unironically you'd have to be a tourist to think this was a natural development. :ogey:

@Minty Reminds me, didn't they try to go for Astolfo until the source material completely shut down the idea?
@MoeBritannica
-
@Cayhr @Minty @MoeBritannica yes
Every time some troon tries to push troon propaganda on astolfo like terrorists rushing into a site
It's always instantly shutdown by the "I'm my own man" image :guraKekw:

@luithe I guess they got their lucky break by sneaking in some localizers and getting the westaboos at ArcSys to go along with them. I bet this subversion is what led Toshimichi Mori to leave. The trannies have but borrowed power by leveraging institutions, and I'm happy to see the scales are beginning to tip back in favor of reality and consistent canon :popuko_nod:
At least we have the JP bros to back us up.

@supersid333 I don't like femboys but just like Astolfo I accept all stories about boys embracing manhood. Even if he appears as a cute girl, he is still a man.
I admit I'm not a GG fan nor player but I'm familiar with the twin superstition in his home town, so all this trans Bridget shit is contradictory. It's similar to Chihiro from Danganronpa. Being a man/masculine is the ENTIRE crux of his story, and he dresses as a girl to easily pass by without conflict... to claim he is trans just contradicts everything.

@Minty @Cayhr @MoeBritannica I genuinely can't stop laughing that his non-true arcade ending is him getting groomed by a Fed.
His true ending is genuinely really good though, great wrap up to both him and Ky's character arcs as Ky affirms Bridget's path of self acceptance as a man by relating it to him giving up everything to be able to live free of shame with his wife and son by his side.

@supersid333 >The bad end is honestly even worse negative character development [...]
See, that's the part that was bewildering to me. Again, I don't play these games, so I have no idea how the so-called good and bad endings work. However, I'm not so stupid as to not know that the grooming ending is literally the "you didn't succeed at everything" ending, aka the sub-optimal, lesser, bad, etc. There was definitely some gaslighting going on about how that ending wasn't "the bad" ending, because I remember seeing posts from 'that side' saying things along the lines of "people that don't play the game are wrongfully calling this the bad ending."
Also, isn't it awfully insulting how the bad ending basically undoes all of his character development to overcome his birthplace and the tribulations of being a bounty hunter? Again, to relate to Danganronpa, a game I actually did play, it would also be totally subversive to accept the "character is trans" narrative.
Here is this guy, Chihiro, that is small and weak with a girly name, voice, and everything. However, he is smart and crafty. He uses his intelligence, wit, and knowledge to create an AI and ultimately helps the main characters in uncovering the mystery. But for himself, he always felt lesser, and he had a male role model he looked up to to become stronger and overcome his weaknesses. That was Mondo, the biker gang guy, who exemplified a lot of "macho" traits you get with the yakuza types. Fast forward to today, Chihiro being trans is not him finding out who he "really is," instead it's the total opposite! And worse, to accept Chihiro is trans would turn the message from a positive one about finding ways to play to your strengths and then seeking to overcome your weaknesses to one that encourages indulging in your weakness... come on, now.

@Cayhr @Minty @MoeBritannica Pretty much, the only reason there is any fang at all to these claims is his bad end arcade route in Strive where he very begrudgingly and half heartedly agrees with Goldlewis while referring to him self as a girl.
That being said though there is a harder to achieve true end where he hangs out with Ky and Ky, massive fucking giga chad the dude is, tells him that he genuinely could never live his life hiding his true self for the fear of his people ever again (his wife and child, and now him kinda, being Gears was a massive taboo that caused him to keep them a secret prior to him revealing them and retiring from his position in power), fights a round against Bridget in Dragon Install as a means of physically showing his conviction, and then tells Bridget he'd be welcome to visit anytime.
The bad end is honestly even worse negative character development then you're aware of too since by now Bridget is a well known and successful bounty hunter. He's someone who had fully broken out of the bad omen of his birth, and seeing him fall back on his traumas is genuinely sad.

@supersid333 >That first branch is not a "bad end" fully in practice, but it's the ending that you're supposed to feel bad about getting because you suck [...]
Okay so it's the bad ending and to not call it the bad ending is just playing semantics :popuko_nod:
@Minty @MoeBritannica

@Cayhr @Minty @MoeBritannica TL;DR there are three endings you can get, with the deciding factor being how many rounds you lose over your Arcade run.
For Bridget the story has two main branches, the one where you lose a lot and Goldlewis hangs out with Bridget, and the one where you take less losses and Bridget goes on without him. That first branch is not a "bad end" fully in practice, but it's the ending that you're supposed to feel bad about getting because you suck, which is punctuated by the unsatisfying payoff to his story and the fact that the arcade run ends early without fighting the boss (For Bridget it's Ky into DI Ky.)
Really just a case of normies latching onto a game that was already kind of an unwanted bastard child anyways and driving it further into the ground.
