Trans Thread in Media Anonymous 09/07/15 (Mon) 09:51:17 AM No. 34124

A Spinoff if you like, this is specifically about trans issues in media (movies, tv series, etc) and the tumblrite trending of being a fakeboi right now.

For example, how do you guys feel about the sudden campaign of making Samus Aran a transperson?

Brianna Wu desperate for attention as usual.

Also this. I'm starting to think the people saying that transgenderism is going to kill feminism are right. What's next, The Boss from Metal Gear Solid is a transman because she's a soldier? Fun's over girls, the mentally ill men in skirts and high heels need to feel good about themselves now.

She's like 6ft tall and very buff. It's plausible

She's also infused with alien DNA and was trained by a highly advanced alien race since she was a child.

Apologies for going autistic with semantics but she says "transgender" not "transsexual", which makes equally little sense, because Samus is wearing a uniform, which is like saying women in the military are transgender?

No. Fuck off. Seriously, stop with that bullshit. Samus is a woman and she's one of the few badass women in early gaming, esp for Nintendo. The fact that people want to try to put their 'headcanons' into her actual character is AWFUL. She's an alien woman and she's a kick ass bounty hunter. Why are so many tumblrtards trying to argue that?

Also, Japan hates trans people and this shit would never happen. Samus is as trans as fucking Luigi from Super Mario. They're huge staples in old school Nintendo games. Nothing will change them into trans ever.

just to give some background info, the creator of Metroid did say that Samus was trans. BUT he did it in a way that used a trans slur and he was openly transphobic sooo yeaaa, he wasn't being serious when he said she was trans. people need to stop taking what he said literally.

SJWs apparently don't understand context.

Question 21: "Will metroid be released for the PS2?"
Sakamoto: "About as likely as Samus being a newhalf (trans)"

But then again I did see stories about gamestop employees getting customers demanding mario games for the xbox which they were sure existed so who knows

The only idiots who want Mario on xbox are parents who don't know what different gaming companies and ownership are. I work in a Nintendo specific store and get people coming in asking for Minecraft on the Wii U.

Yup, cut and dry statement blown up by the Sjws. Why am I not surprised?

Why would someone even ask that? Nintendo is horrible possessive about their games/mascots. I don't think they'd ever release Link, Samus, Mario etc on another console. They barely let those characters mix with third party companies. I'm still surprised Hyrule Warriors is a thing.

The creator of Metroid is 4 different people. ONE of the creators JOKINGLY called her a tranny as an offensive comment.

Samus was never trans, only as an offensive joke to a culture that's still ass backwards with LGBT rights.

>No, we can't have that. She's actually a man who is ~trans~.

This! We should be fighting for more actual good female protags in gaming like Samus, but no… they aren't special enough if they're cis and straight.

The creator of Metroid NEVER stated that Samus was trans.

The mixup is based on the fact they the info came from an unofficial fan translation of an old scan from a Nintendo magazine where he instead stated that Samus was a "new-half", Japanese slang at the time for somebody who is half-Japanese in heritage.

Whoever translated it messed up and more these SJWs are all over it like flies in shit. The creator has repeatedly stated again and again over the years that Samus is NOT trans.

I said plausible. I didn't say it was definite. Nintendo definetly did not intend her to be trans. It makes more sense than 90% of trans headcanons i see.
"Oh look at this small waifish figured woman! she must be trans!"

Actually to be entirely fair, "hyafu" meant someone of mixed ancestry, then a transsexual woman coined "new-half" for trans, like the new being "mixed" was being "mixed gender".
The thing in the article was probably either 1. Haha, what if samus was a newhalf guize lol
or 2. "That's about as likely as Samus being a newhalf"
I'd really like someone to bring up a scan of the article and just dissect its translation for everyone.
Honestly, Samus has never been called trans outside of this one mention, you'd think it would be mentioned more, I doubt Nintendo has been keeping it secret for fear transphobes wouldn't buy their games or some shit. It would be more open, like the stuff about Poison.

Another analysis I've seen was just that "newhalf" referred to Samus being part alien, meaning she's like a tranny in that she's not entirely a woman (female human) but also has alien genes
