Nintendo makes a game that features a trans character
Evan Edwards
Christopher Davis
It's almost like Zig Forums is full of manchildren who refuse to grow up
Joseph Gonzalez
Zig Forums only cares if it's dickable.
Tyler Scott
Because she's hot
Angel Garcia
just go somewhere else. this place was already a lost cause when it was fucking created.
Owen Jenkins
Didn't the English translation make him into an actual girl though? I doubt most people knew about him when they first played it outside of Japan.
William Diaz
its okay when japan does it
Ryder Davis
I really want to fuck vivian. I'd even suck her fat purple schlong.
Do you really think anyone here wants to fuck Senator Golfer Armstrong from last of us 2? Lmao.
Jaxon Barnes
>caring about Vivian because of trans/trap shit
crunge
>caring about Vivian because of qt belly
baste!
Christian Lewis
Sorry, here in the U.S. she is female.
So you insisting that she is actually a he is political propaganda.
joos may or may not be involved.
Owen Reyes
cuz japan does it right
Sebastian Jones
except in nipland he wasn't trans, he was just made fun of for being girly
Nolan Taylor
Nintendo could say “yes to trans rights” right now and Zig Forums would defend it.
Aiden Ross
I want to fuck that belly.
Isaac Campbell
Mario definitely tapped that, right?
Angel Phillips
Jayden Roberts
>p*litical
Damn it feels good to be able to think for myself sometimes
Tyler Taylor
Vivian says trans rights!
Ryder Stewart
Its a trap ghost tho.
Trans are nonexistent in Japan media.
Robert Cook
effeminate cross dressers are not necessarily trans
Adrian Fisher
How is Vivian even a cross-dresser? He's a shadow spirit that just wears gloves and a mage hat.
Michael Williams
Bigger. Gravity isn't a problem for shadow sirens, right?
Every single time she had him in her magical realm.
Brayden Parker
>ghost character with no genitals at all
>tranny
pfthahahaha, sure trannytrash.
Jeremiah Howard
Bridget identifies himself as a boy.
He's the archetypal trap, one of the first.
Joshua Gutierrez
based takane poster
Mason Cruz
Vivian was never "trans" in the original translation, he was portrayed as a a crossdressing male, literally being referred to as "otokonoko" in his capture card.
The nuances of Japanese otokonoko culture and its flexible use of pronouns are completely lost, even by the Mario Wiki calling Vivian "trans," despite such an identification and lifestyle being not at all comparable.
Cut your Western imperializing, trannoids.
Connor Ramirez
Vivian isn't trans, he's a trap. Stop appropriating gay culture for your agenda, you mentally ill retard.
Thomas Richardson
>there are people itt who fapped to a fucking purple blob with a hat and no eyes
i'm glad i'm a non-degenerate straight male and i only beat my meat to the ones who look like women like Poison
Jason Perez
>fell in love with her during my very first playthrough
>used her as my main partner throughout pretty much the entire rest of the game
>was heartbroken by the ending when she and Mario parted ways, wanted them to be together instead of Mario going with Peach
>tfw one day I decided to look her up on google on a whim and found out the truth
That was a weird feel.
Liam Moore
>being mentally ill
Cringe!
Andrew Green
in the US she's a girl
in JP he is a bishounen
Hunter Parker
The reverse of Poison from what I remember. In Japan they were a woman, but the translators didn't like that you could fight a woman so they made her trans in the English localization. A move that would get them crucified in today's political climate.
Christopher Hill
>That was a weird feel.
gayest part of the reply
Jason Sanders
You should file a grievance with the Mario wiki, they using assumptions in their articles.
Gavin Bell
Because Zig Forums is full of multiple autistic people. All with different stand points. Threads like this are a waste of space and so are people who refer to Zig Forums as a single entity.
Adam Baker
She's a girl. In the game they call her a girl and say they are sisters. There is nothing at all in the game that even remotely suggests she is transvestite, you mentally ill fuck head. You're worthless and are better off killing your self than ever making a stupid bait thread like this ever again
Julian Lee
maybe so
I still really like her even if I didn't know how to feel at the time
Ethan Richardson
idr any indication about her being a tranny, what?
Lucas Fisher
Imma learn ya with some knowledge.
In japanese, Vivian is not trans. Vivian is not even female. Vivian is just a normal cis male. Vivian just gets mocked and belittled by his sister, and so people think Vivian is a girl being bullied and called a boy (to deny "her" femininity), but he's just a boy and nothing more, and the belittling is beside that.
Vivian isn't a girl and doesn't want to be a girl, so he's not trans. He's just a femboy.
Evan Bell
But Vivian isn't actually trans in the JP version, right? He's just an effeminate boy, right?
Ayden Rodriguez
>Cut your Western imperializing, trannoids.
Sorry to disappoint you, but transgender people have been a part of Japanese history for a long time. There is more to Japan than porn artists, anime, and video games, faggot.
Adrian King
Of course. But Vivian is not a newhalf, Vivian is just a girly guy.
Hudson Bailey
there is no reason for this to have been changed in the localization
