I wish the identity politics shtick would just be shoved out of the industry. The thing I don't like is the whole politicizing of sexuality and genders that's back in vogue, especially in the mainstream media, journalists, and social media corps like Twitter. Never participated in it or the boycotts, but I constantly followed it till it mostly died off within the past year.) (It also comes from following GamerGate, its opponents, and seeing how the whole thing was constnatly being misrepresented in the news. Many times I see something about sexuality, characters, or video games these days, I can't help but think that there's going to be something politically motivated with an agenda to push with it. :P ) I did give off a knee jerk reaction and that was the first thing that came to mind. (Though the title of the thread is a bit clickbaity as well. Yeah, I admit I didn't read article and I should have. It doesn't say Frank is anything other than a crossdresser.Īs a transwoman myself, Samus being trans was one of the dumbest conclusions for anyone to come to.

Dead rising 2 character ps3#
♥♥♥♥ I assumed Chop Till You Drop was only a thing because the PS3 wasn't a relevant console anywhere at the time and Japan wanted Dead Rising on a system Japanese people actually owned. Especially since Dead Rising 1 was one 360 (a console not popular in Japan) and was released in America first. I don't remember that at all.Īs for Frank West, I never knew I always just assumed he was designed by an American branch of Capcom. Also odd, when was it said Daniella was brainwashed. I honestly don't see how one can come to that conclusion. I meant Daniella could be seen as a metaphor for transgenderism because transwomen are often made to feel like we aren't "real women" I wasn't implying. Might want to space your paragraphs a bit more. Originally posted by SONIC NASARENOOO:Damn, that's one big text dump in your blog there. That's pretty much the same reason Fiona is so oversexualized. Groping Fiona has more to do with the fact that by her understanding, Fiona is a real woman, and she's not. It's like saying Pinnochio was actually gay or into whales. So you know, pretty boy in drag, probably just embarassing and not very funny (Nick Ramos himself) but manly man seeing nothing wrong with wearing a sundress, pretty funny.Īs a side note, Daniella from Haunting Ground is actually a real (Though infertile, therefore she wasn't farmed for Azoth) woman brainwashed to believe she's a homunculus, and her sexuality really doesn't come into play much. You can see that in other manly Japanese characters (Yu Narukami from Persona 4 comes to mind.) Because of the rule of funny, Frank takes his crossdressing seriously.
Frank's designed to be a western action hero (Right there in his name, Frank WEST) as opposed to the more traditional Japanese heroes who are young and beautiful, regardless of gender. I'll give you the cliffs notes version: It's a Japanese thing. Damn, that's one big text dump in your blog there.
