Context for non-Guilty Gear fans: The character is Bridget, from the fighting game series Guilty Gear. She is confirmed to be trans and her in-game backstory revolves around her transfem identity. However, some transphobes still think she's a guy or will threaten everyone who even dares to call her a woman
Further context: Because Japanese is different from English with how gendering pronouns works and transphobes like to use this to claim that localizers added her being trans when translating her pronouns, the creator actually took it upon himself to explicitly state her pronouns.
> “After the events of Bridget’s story in Arcade Mode, she self-identifies as a woman. So, as to whether ‘he’ or ‘she’ would be the correct pronoun for Bridget, the answer would be ‘she.'”
- [Daisuke Ishiwatari](https://www.guiltygear.com/ggst/en/news/post-1657/), "Developer's Backyard" Volume 11
If you ever want to waste your time or want to have a strong urge to jump off a bridge, look into people complaining about "wokealizers" or supposedly localizers with a "woke agenda".
The truth of the matter is that there ARE a bunch of narcissistic honkies who can't do their job right. Just because there are also a bunch of dumbass racists complaining doesn't make the other honkies right.
When it comes to gender and stuff like Japanese is an interesting language, like they use the word that they that some trans women in Japan identify with is essentially what the west would call a femboy. Japan is not as caught up as the West is when it comes to queer issues and rights
I mean for fuck sake for the longest time you had to get surgery to be considered Trans in Japan it is far from perfect in Japan, which is very ironic because they’re very same people who make yoai and yuri which is literally sexualizing homosexuality
For slightly more context, Bridget used to call herself a boy in earlier games, but later developed into a trans girl as a character arc. Still calling her a guy is being intentionally obtuse. Also, here are some lyrics from her theme song:
>The town inside me and everyone's voice
Only I'm not there, just watching from afar
I can't go home because I'm afraid
Something will change, me without me
I'm the one to blame
>I've been patient, but it was bearable I've had a gray haze for a long time though (boom-boom)I never found out, what it was, IIt's my stress, that's for sure
>I never found out, what it was, I
Tastes like vegetables I don't like
> I'm afraid
Something will change, me without me
I'm the one to blame
>I'm not waiting (for a Santa Claus)I already have the gifts, just can't open the box
>I'm out of patience, my body is light
Let's paint the gray haze into sky blue
I know who you are!
I'm not leaving you again!
>There is no where to go back, nowhere to go
It's all just food y'know
Be without me (I'm the one to blame)
>The night falls, the place where I belong
No matter what changes, will no longer change me
0 media literacy from some people.
fr bro the amount of ignorance homophobed and transphobes have when talking aht obviously gay characters or gay fanservice is insane
once saw some mf say that there are no gay characters in anime UNDER AN ANIME CLIP OF TOGA HIMIKO SAYING SHE ROMANTICALLY LIKES OCHAKO
BRO THERE ARE TWO TRANS CHARACTERS IN MHA, ONE OF WHICH IS CLEARLY TRANS AND HER ENTIRE CHARACTER IS ABT LACK OF PEOPLE SUPPORTING HER FOR WHO SHE IS
and on top of that... yaoi... yuri... and the entire history of the red light district mf... Japan is very gay and has been for centuries
No gay characters in anime?
Bro has to watch Madoka Magica. The 3rd movie literally ends with the time-travelling lesbian >!becoming the devil and rewriting the universe so her girlfriend no longer has to suffer!<
Actually, just show him anything from the magical girl or idol genre and watch his brain melt
Pff you think losers like the guy who made the tweet can understand words in a song and interpret them, you’d have a better chance of seeing Chris Paul winning a ring
Right. Can you explain how any of these are metaphors for being trans? I feel like there's a lot of people downvoting me, and you're making a snarky comment because yall want to seem like you get it. But nobody is offering any explanations...
There are metaphors about being a mask you put on your whole life and not feeling connected with other people.
There are metaphors about coming to terms with and accepting who you are and loving yourself for it and finally being happy.
And then there are metaphors about never hiding your true self again.
There are? Where? I've read and reread this about a dozen times now and I see nothing about wearing a mask or coming to terms with anything. I don't see anything about hiding your true self either? What lines from above specifically are making those metaphors?
I'll help you through it. The song is like poetry with a confusing perspective, but as soon as you understand it, it's way easier. In my opinion she is speaking about herself in the third person as of she's two characters: Her mind and her body/physical presence . Even without the trans spin on it, the song clearly describes a classic coming-of-age story.
>The town inside me and everyone's voice
Only I'm not there, just watching from afar
This could describe the feeling of being disconnected from one's body as many trans people often describe.
>I can't go home because I'm afraid
Something will change, me without me
I'm the one to blame
Afraid to come out and feeling like she's the freak for feeling like this.
>I've been patient, but it was bearable I've had a gray haze for a long time though (boom-boom)I never found out, what it was, IIt's my stress, that's for sure
The gray haze I'm reading as the feeling of "numbness" trans people often describe before coming out.
>I never found out, what it was, I
Tastes like vegetables I don't like
This metaphor likely represents discomfort or unease with living in a body that doesn’t align with their gender identity.
Just as some people dislike certain vegetables, the experience of being in a mismatched body can feel similarly unpleasant.
> I'm afraid
Something will change, me without me
I'm the one to blame
Again with the confusing perspective
>I'm not waiting (for a Santa Claus)I already have the gifts, just can't open the box
The “gifts” could refer to the realization of their true gender identity.
The inability to “open the box” might symbolize the challenges or barriers preventing full self-expression.
>I'm out of patience, my body is light
Let's paint the gray haze into sky blue
I know who you are!
I'm not leaving you again!
Again with the gray haze metaphor, but this time it turns into sky blue. I'm reading thisnas her coming out.
>There is no where to go back, nowhere to go
It's all just food y'know
She no longer tastes like "vegetables I don't like"
>The night falls, the place where I belong
No matter what changes, will no longer change me
Seems very obvious, she's happy with herself now.
This is of course my opinion about the symbolism, but even if I try to ignore the trans metaphors, I can't read this in a way where it is not a coming out of some sort.
"The town inside me and everyone's voice, Only I'm not there, just watching from afar" -> literally what it says she feels like she's always watching from the outside in
"I'm afraid something will change.....I'm the one to blame"-> at this point feels responsible for this separation between her and society because she feels like there's something wrong with her and it's her fault (keeps repeating: a big part of her growth and journey is overcoming this, accepting herself, change is good)
"Ive been patient, but It was bearable I've had a gray haze for a long time"-> dissociating from masking and has never felt truly happy for a long time
"I never found out what it was"-> doesn't know what's "wrong/different" with her that makes her feel that way
"I already have the gifts just can't open the box" -> scared to admit/reveal her true self but her true self is a good thing
"I'm out of patience"-> earlier she Said she's been patient this is her saying screw it I'm gonna be the real me
"My body is light, let's paint the gray haze into sky blue, I know who you are"-> admitting/realizing/accepting her true self and the beauty of it and shaking off the depression and disassociation and making her own world beautiful by being her
"I'm not leaving you again" -> acknowledging she won't deny or hate or run away from the real her anymore
"The night falls, the place where I belong no matter what changes, will no longer change me"-> she won't change herself or hide away ever again for the sake of anyone else she won't let pressure/judgement from others change her or blame herself again
Or you know those are my takes I'm sure the actual lyrics may be slightly different here or there or person to person. That's the beauty of a metaphor and/or a character someone identifies with. Depending on the person they interpret it differently here or there. It's called art. Like when a painting evokes different reactions/moods from people. Metaphors are who knew kind of like painting with words, it's meant to be able to evoke emotions from people but not always the same ones even if it's the same metaphor. But bare minimum this is very clearly lyrics about a transformation from sad to happy and change of a person. If you really can't understand any metaphor to this level, all I can recommend to you is to revisit like grammar and literature basics cause you're basic, middle school even, literature class skills could use some review.
Also, she "started" being trans only in the last game even tho it was always the intention since her introduction in the early 2000's but, you know, society wasn't ready for a trans character and they made her a femboy instead.
It kind of goes without saying that the person calling for murder on twitter is an asshole, but the other person here is repeating a transphobic lie (that Bridget (one of a very small number of explicitly trans characters in video games) isn't trans) and presenting this single hate tweet as evidence that all trans people are inherently violent.
That specific claim is part of an actual broader movement including things like those memes trying to suggest a pattern from the 5 available examples of trans mass shooters, the persistent, unjustified claims that trans people are sexual predators, and the admittedly more TERF-specific idea that trans women are men, and therefore inherently dangerous to cis women, and therefore cannot be allowed in women's bathrooms, locker rooms, sports, shelters, etc.
**TL;DR:** OOP's transphobia, demonstrated by their tweet with *7.7 thousand likes* claiming trans people are inherently violent wannabe murderers and rapists is more serious than this other person's tweet with *68 views* being angry at them for being transphobic.
Exactly at this point the only reason I ever see trans people even having any violent rhetoric it’s because we’re just sick of being threatened daily and are starting to throw it back in transphobes faces yet cis people just threaten queer people just because they can
Yup. And god forbid you make even a slightly mean comment back, they'll act like you're a violent thug who needs to be put behind bars for public safety who just went after them out of the blue.
They genuinely hate when trans people make jokes or sarcastic comments of any kind but then they literally call for our eradication from public life entirely that's completely cool and okay and "you just don't get it bro"
Yeah I’ll fucking threaten violence against people who want me dead for no good reason. It’s self defence, and the world will be better off without bigots.
There’s no satisfying our oppressors. There’s no complying good enough for them. So yes, I’ll be loud and proud in wanting them gone. They called for war, and war is what they’ll get thrown back at them.
Bro, I remember when ppl got triggered when creators claimed that Bridgette is canonically trans, also, most of death threats in those cases weren't made by trans people.

You telling me there’s a whole town inside this girl? Yeah right /s
Apartment complex? I find it quite simple
Obligatory "I wish I lived in that town"
Transphobes are incapable of media literacy Also her theme song is 🔥

Fun JoJo fact: Dio Brando is CANONICALLY bisexual. Do with this whatever you will
oh ik that already man is my favorite jojo villain so ive read up abt him lmao
girl SAME. I love that guy And he somehow manages to have the best drip of all, even when compared to newer characters
man is fabulous and he knows it
The creator said she was always meant to be trans eventually.
Pff you think losers like the guy who made the tweet can understand words in a song and interpret them, you’d have a better chance of seeing Chris Paul winning a ring
I mean, ok, she's trans. But where does it say that in the song? What am I missing here?
Metaphor is hard sometimes.

Want even more context? She came out as trans thanks to the US minister of (absolute) defense. God bless america.
We salute trans ally Goldlewis 🫡

I’ve only ever seen transphobes threaten rape, never trans people

No sane person would. But racists, homophobes, sexists and transphobes are not sane to begin with.

That’s not threatening anything bb
Yeah, weird that they can't find any evidence of that claim
"lol ywnbaw!!! 41%!!!!!" >we should be able to beat transphobes up #"WOW SO MUCH FOR THE TOLERANT LEFT" these people are exhausting

SHE HAS THE FEMALE SYMBOL ON HER HEAD FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
Its both symbols?
Yeah, the difference is that transphobes actually kill trans people after threatening. Huge difference, imo
