GG Strives Horribly Misinterpreted

My bad didn't have the actual interview only had a translated text, the way he talks about it through the whole thing seems like he implies Bridget's whole story was going to end like this since the beginning and that now the times caught up and it was the right time to reveal.
Yeah that's how I read it. I think he is lying so that people don't accuse him of changing Bridget due to outside pressure though.

Definitely it really is just a more publicity stunt.

He never came out and said Testament was non-binary, it's because trans bridget blew up on twitter. And trans in general is a "Maybe we can sell to them." honestly I hope arc goes bankrupt

I was checking the steam stats yesterday, Strive keeps getting worse and worse numbers, it's barely holding on between 1800 and 2200 players in a 24 hour period, and that number keeps steadily dropping. Meanwhile Xrd the 2nd has actually gained nearly the amount of players Strive lost in the last 30 days. Strive lost close to 900 players, Xrd gained nearly 700. It's pretty clear the more Arc makes bullshit claims, the less people want to have anything to do with Strive.

I really don't see anyone playing this game five years from now and I don't see their next installment hitting anywhere close to "1 million shipped units". And yeah, I'm calling them shipped units, at no point in time has there been any actual proof they sold a million copies. The only concrete number we have is 30k copies on Steam, that may be closer to 40k after Bridget was released.

The only unknown number of copies sold is what was in China, so maybe that's where the other 900k copies are.

Tangential thought: Normies fail to understand the reality of making games and the business logistics of how much money it costs to make them. They also fail to understand that businesses NEVER tell you the truth about poor sales. After all, they only need to tell the truth when it comes to certain revealings (internal docs, investor meetings, court discovery, etc.). So when the Hellena Taylor fiasco was going around, people were wondering why they only would offer 20k (this is after more info came out) when Bayonetta made "millions of dollars." I kept being told "you'd think with millions of dollars they could pay her at least well in to the 5 or even 6 digits." As such, I wonder what the true numbers for GGSt are, and how much it is in the red.

Anime: Onimai.

Quick summary of the plot guy gets forcefully turned into a girl against his will by his sister, shenanigans ensue.

Episode 2 has a GG strive ref, with Bridget getting beaten by the MC who's playing Sol.

They support the pride insanity is the message I'm seeing. Next episode has a gyaru whose design was changed to have bigger breasts and pink/blue hair a.k.a their goddamn flag colors. Some people a.k.a 4chan are ignoring this because quarter-assed loli fanservice and they let the woke infect the site.

>global standards of compliance
Those standards just happen to comply with China's new laws at the time. It's so obvious why these choices were made and it's hilarious how freaks think it was for them. Then again, they're all narcissistic monsters.

My hypothesis is that ASW has a new Blazblue game in the works with Mori previously at the helm. Many of you are probably familiar that many of the tropes that Mori enjoys that are in BB like huge tits and overt sexual themes like groping are verboten in ASW's current climate. Rather than be hamstrung by ESG dicksucking, he decided to jump ship and form his own studio
With the fact that they are trying to revive interest in the series with entropy effect it makes my idea seem more and more likely
If this is correct I look forward with morbid curiosity to see how castrated it will be in comparison to its earlier installments
Im making the bet right now that if Rachel does make a return she will be aged up

Sounds like cope to me, especially since they banned effeminate men from entertainment just two years ago. Remember, China is trying to pretend they're more open and accepting of lgbt bullshit than the US, but the actual population fucking hates all of it. They don't even tolerate Africans in the larger cities.

Just to further cement that those community notes are cope and literal bullshit:

Oh look at that, there's also an article from that same year China banned trannies. Oh man, it's almost like those laws are in fact being enforced and any evidence of the contrary is most likely just propaganda.

Just a fun little update that I believe further proves this whole thing is directly connected to Chinese law. Remember, China has warehouses full of people who run 20 to 40 accounts at any given moment and will regularly make new accounts. These are all clearly fake accounts, all posting the same thing that would enforce China's ban on effeminate men in entertainment.

I can only assume Arcsys is paying for this since they're the only one's that benefit from having this narrative pushed.

Also, the fags that want Bridget to be trans are trying to claim this is proof of their opponents... because they all of a sudden believe that "effeminate men are trans" is offensive... despite using that very same argument the entire time.

Edit: I didn't see this one, but fuckin' lol

The simpler answer is trannies given their fanaticism
They dont even have to be cooperating
Nothing absolutely pisses troons off more than telling them there are 4 lights
