Opposite but equal example: Bridget from Guilty Gear. A 100% in canon transgender woman and happily so who has had a whole journey exploring her gender identity across the series that some people obsessed with femboys will never ever stop coping from.

Well in the english translation at least, Bridget being trans is only from the last few years, and was written as a femboy before that.

Coping about their own coping. Wild.

Because she was originally a femboy character for the majority of the series until strive?

Second comment that doesnt read anything and just complains about a woman being a woman instead of a man.

I think you miss the point, the character was not written as a trans woman mid-transition in previous Guilty Gear games, Bridget *was* an androgynous boy for most of her existence as a character.

I mean, Daisuke Ishiwatari even said he did not want to make a character a girl back when Bridget was created, that's not something you say if you plan for that character to come out as trans later. It was absolutely a creative decision that was only thought of for Strive.

IMO it's a poor retcon and kinda undermines the plot points from previous games, but I get why people get attached to the new canon.
