So my partner and I were talking about this character named “Poison”, from the capcom fighter game Final Fight. She’s a trans woman, and I was saying that I hadn’t even realized until a comic I’d read pointed it out.
And he says “Funny thing about Poison’s origin is that Poison started out as a woman, and then Capcom went ‘No, we can’t have the boss be a woman it would be wrong to have to attack a woman…. But it would be okay if Poison was a tranny’”
And I of course said that that was terrible. But I still really liked her as a character.
To which he replied “Yeah but technically he is a man”
And now I don’t know what to fucking say.
Other than fuck him. If that’s what he really thinks. Fuck him.
