Is Bridget, from the GGX series a male or female. I heard that he/she was a male from one of you guys, I think.

heheh
Bridget's supposed to be a guy, but he can be a girl if you want him to. it's all up to the individual (check out all the fanmade drawings of him. some are creepy ehehe). that goes with every anime / video game character, i suppose

anyways, in the storyline, Bridget's actually a twin. but in his hometown, two twin boys is a sign of bad luck, so Bridget's parents raised him as a girl. Bridget wants to prove that the twin boy theory is a bunch of bull, so he's fighting in the tournament to hopefully win and prove the people otherwise
(if i got any of the story wrong, please correct me)

i'm thinking that if he gets his point across in GGXX, he'll probably start dressing like a boy in GGXXX. just a theory O_O

prepare to be educated.
bridget is not dressed as a girl by choice, like say bao, but it is a weird supersition in this home villiage that twin boys are BAD BAD LUCK. Bridget was the odd one out, so he was picked to be raised as a girl. His parents don't like it, but they must abide by it. Bridget figures this out and decides to strike out on his own and make money by capturing the bounty on dizzy**, thus disproving the supersition and letting him live as a boy.

**note: the bounty on dizzy's head was claimed by jam ALREADY as she conned the bounty holders out of the money and used it to start her restaurant! BAD BAD LUCK indeed!

Wonder how they will deal with this plot when GGXX hits the USA, I can't imagine them taking the risk of promoting a little boy dressed as a girl making well....provocative poses in-game.

I'd stick with Slayer if I were you....or me.

but yes, bridget is actually a very powerful/good character - what with speed, reach, combos and traps. My favoriet thing however, would have to be Roger-Bridgets teddy bear. That thing has the most badass voice ever.

So far Bridget is still a boy in the domestic version. His voice still sounds female but he corrects I-no that he is not a little lady in his story intro...

I went to the thread. I didn't look at the videos because my connection is slow. Too scared to look at the drawings...

To reiterate, real cultures do consider twin boys bad luck. Some actually consider it witchcraft and kill both the children and mother.

Yessir. Bao was originally going to be a girl, but they decided to make him a boy to " be different " . You know, if Bao had been a girl, I bet people would have liked her.

i completely agree with Rugal. they wanted to mix things up by making Bao (POW!) a boy. i know opinions would've been different about him if he had been a girl

and i just mentioned this topic

What a lot of people doesn't understand, is that "shota-con" is very popular in Japan.
(shouta-kun complex. obsession over cute young boys. The word originates from Shouta-kun, the main character in Tetsujin 28) Since both KOF and GG series have a large female fan-base, and want to expand on that fan-base rather than lose it, it was only a matter of time before shotacon characters were introduced.

Btw, feminnine looking shota boys are popular among certain male fans too, even if those fans are not gay.
A lot of people who grew up in enviroments with anime/manga media have developed an ability to simply look at 2D characters attraction as attraction on its own, separate from reality. (and yeah, there are those who gets fiction and reality confused too. :P)

I also find feminnine cute shota characters attractive, even though I have absolutely no interest in male (young, cute, or else) in real life. Fiction is fiction.

IMO, american young boys who fantasize steoroid-induced super-masculine bodies aren't any less disturbing. Just my opinion.

Anyone know if Bao is popular in Japan? Chang and Choi seem to be hated in America but Japan loves them, but I dunno what opinions about Bao overall are like, there.

As a general reply...
I thought Bao was a girl for awhile, and I still disliked him.

I like Bridget. He seems to have more personality and a good backstory. Bao seems more like a character they stuck in. Even if that's the reason Bridget was created, at least I find him interesting, style and story-wise.

I only hate Chang and Choi when I'm fighting against them, but I like playing as them.

And yes, overly muscle bound bodies are nasty.
