Another tweet discussing about this too that I'll add here because why not
I've looked into that tweet and I still have questions.apparently this "email" turns out to be fake after all
I just saw the JP tweet, so I'll stand corrected on that. But they're still cowards.Same message is on the JP account.
It is weird that they won't come out and say it or deny it that bridget is trans.
Oh definitely, they're not confirming anything, despite the fact it has caused a bit of controversy. They just need to make a statement on this situation and everything would be over. But instead they're leaving it ambiguous, just to get both sides. It's honestly a scummy move they're just trying to profit off everyone it seems.I just saw the JP tweet, so I'll stand corrected on that. But they're still cowards.
Confirm he is a boy and you piss off the japanese fans that lose one of their favorite otoko no ko (seriously look how much bridget fan art there is on pixiv)Same message is on the JP account.
It is weird that they won't come out and say it or deny it that bridget is trans.
As I understand it, otoko no ko's still see themselves as 100% male it's just that they wear girly clothes and act girly. I don't think they would be mad if Arcsys said Bridget was a dude since they know he is.Confirm he is a boy and you piss off the japanese fans that lose one of their favorite otoko no ko
If you ask me this sounds incredibly astroturfedApparently this is becoming more and more a heated argument in Japan as well now according to some Twitter posts I've seen. It's becoming one side calling it stunning and brave and the other calling it like nothing has changed with the character.
I noticed that you are unable to link the japanese version of the articlePixiv EN puts out a shitty hijacked version of a JP article to call Bridget trans. Gets called out and ratioed. Pixiv now announces New policy update about diversity and anti harassment.
Fellas pixiv is gonna die soon. And it's all because of the troons and because of Bridget drama.
Honestly, the best we can hope for is that this whole trend will die out the same way it happened with lobotomies or society will move on just like for example with the early 2000s and emos.Our enemies are pushing on all fronts with this
If there was a time and place to plant your flag and dig in, now is one of them
not one inch back
