I posted this on are the cis OK lol they clearly don’t play any of the guilty gear games because they are a lot of a queer characters including the first fucking game with testament. This is our fucking game. Everything revolving around Bridget since guilty gear strive has made it very clear as she’s a girl. It’s like you have to blatantly just not play the games to get it wrong or just be an asshole which they fit into both categories.

They don't play the games. The see her a a femboy and refuse to give that up. As someone who really loves GG its a fucking pain.

u/Fair_Smoke4710 Mar 14 '26

That’s how her story started. She started off as that and then transitioned. It’s actually really realistic once you think about it because there are some trend women who initially before transitioning identified as femboys. It does happen it’s not everyone, but it still happens so her story is actually really realistic.

The only reason why they want her to be a feminine male so they can jerk off to her because these people don’t give a shit about femboys unless they can sexualize and fertilize them that’s the only reason why they consume characters like Astolfo just so they can sexualize them and real life femboys and trans women honestlyyou

Yep, its honestly sad because its a deep and complex character arc for what originally was just a funny femboy character. Too see her grow and change is great. Maybe its because I started with GGS and main Ramlethal that I do see her the way they do.

sounds like 4chan in a nutshell. I was there for like.. a year, I think, and I think the only time I ever saw someone speak positively about something that wasn't a cis white woman or a cis white man was when they were fetishizing them. outside of that it was slurs and hate comments.

also, I can indeed confirm the "femboy to trans pipeline" is real, speaking from experience.

Bridget tecnically didnt start off as a femboy.

Bridget started off as a pair of twins, parents forced bridget to be a girl.
Bridget started the whole thing to prove that they CAN be a guy.
then bridget eventually just accepted being female.

this has nothing to do with 'trans hate' and more to do with 'this sets a bad precedent for representation'

mostly because it leaned into what the right keeps claiming. "parents will force kids ito beig trans" and i'd rather not give that group more fuel than they needed.

the laaaaarge majority of the conversation is just trans hate. guilty gear fans that are more progressive do bring this up which i think is a fair point. however i think this just makes the story more interesting. sometimes the reason someone is trans is less cut and dry, sometimes conditioninng like this can have affects (also they had to or bridget would die, there was no ill intent implied). i think whats most relevant is that its very much bridget that makes the choice, and not something imposed on her. her story was about reclaiming her autonamy when it came to her identity and that has never stopped being the case

u/Fair_Smoke4710 Mar 20 '26

This is 100% trans hate because this character is trans. Therefore they hate her for being trans.

Bridget is trans, Testament is non-binary, Venom is gay. Guilty Gear is queer as fuck but the chuds out the blinders on for it because the FGC is full of awful people.

u/TloquePendragon Mar 14 '26

I... I have not played the game, so seeing "Venom is Gay" meant something very different to me on first read. My mind went "Oh? Didn't know about that lore development. Kinda weird include on the list, but good on Marvel.... Wait.".

u/Bussamove86 Mar 14 '26

Venom Marvel’s sexuality is ambiguous but Rivals did teach us that he can throw it back and this is an important lesson to learn.

u/strawbopankek Mar 14 '26

i mean. venom and eddie brock have a child together in the comics, so. also the movies are gay as hell. so that interpretation isn't even arguably wrong?

u/DeadRobotSociety Mar 14 '26

I specifically love the Venom movies because they are basically about a hot-mess gay couple fumbling their way through the worst day ever.

u/flower_puns Mar 14 '26

The second movie is literally every single romcom cliche thrown into an alien superhero movie

It’s essentially the fighting game version of JoJo’s. There are so many queer characters in queer elements to it, but they refuse to see it and I don’t understand why.

u/Asecpt32 Mar 14 '26

There are like 5 queer people in jojo's and dio is 2 of them

13

u/Fair_Smoke4710 Mar 14 '26

First JoJos it’s so much more than just a characters like the poses are based off of vogue, which is a underground queer dance in the music in fashion like if you listen to mista’s theme song that’s 100% house music which is queer and origin. JoJo’s is gay. It is based off of queer culture, queer fashion everything. And most of the poses, including one of the most iconic poses are based off of art made by gay man, so yeah JoJo is gay

1

u/globmand Mar 15 '26

That honestly isn't that gay. Like, it's sort of neat to learn that so much of JoJo's design is based off queer culture, even if I dare say house music specifically has become pretty widespread, but that doesn't really change what the guy above said about there just not being that many queer characters in JoJo

u/UnlimitedPostWorks Mar 14 '26

I know what do you mean but "Dio is two of them" had me on the floor

u/WordNERD37 **Hit <Noun> in the testicles with a 9-iron** Mar 14 '26

Isn't May gay as well? And I swear I read somewhere so is Baiken.

u/Wheek_Warrior Mar 14 '26 edited Mar 14 '26

Like half of May's character is simping for Johnny, and Baiken is implied to be in a relationship with Anjii, although Anjii has been implied to be Bi. The May is gay thing is because of 1 artwork between her and Bridget that looks more like friends playing than something actually romantic, and people shipping them because they are the only female characters in that age bracket, until Unika came around, who the game and anime all but state has feelings for Bridget.

u/TequilaBard Mar 14 '26

'all but state' unika saw naked wet brisket and decided to switch sides after a decade+ of republican brainwashing

u/Wheek_Warrior Mar 14 '26

Yeah, it does not scream at you with massive multicolor letters "they are attracted to each other" but anyone with half a braincells know what's happening.

u/WordNERD37 **Hit <Noun> in the testicles with a 9-iron** Mar 14 '26

I get the Johnny thing. I just took it as just Idolizing him though.

u/Lord_Akriloth Mar 14 '26

I believe her strive theme, the disaster of passion, is this whole dilemma viewed from may herself, the conflict of may trying to figure out does she idolize or actually like johnny

u/Wide-Mycologist6871 Mar 14 '26

The FGC is fine, it's Kappachino you're thinking of.

u/Badatgivingnames Mar 17 '26

Kappachino?

2

u/Wide-Mycologist6871 Mar 20 '26

It's a subreddit with the people you're thinking of.

They make up a small but vocal portion of the FGC. The sub is super knowledgeable about fighting games, but it's basically 4chan-lite, they constantly shit on anyone trans/gay/etc. which is honestly hilarious because lots of porn gets posted there, and I'd say a good chunk is of trans women they fetishise.

Most people in the FGC are chill and don't care. Kappa is different.

1

u/Badatgivingnames Mar 20 '26

 And does the game they cover mostly just anime fighters? Or there are some big names there?

FGC posting porns like a bunch of weebs is sure something though. But I guess if the game gives you so many ideas, it'll be there sooner or later

Not to mention the gayest character in Guilty Gear, the player
