      "You don't get it, she's actually a 500 year old witch" or "it's actually ephowhatever that word is philia because they're post-pubescent" it's a real coin toss with these types.

      No shit, I had a Q-pilled weeb tell me about a magical girl anime he was liking, which I didn't think anything about. I've heard of the genre, seems chill ig

      But then he steered the conversation sharply into how, according to him it's not loli because the characters don't have boobs. I don't talk to him much these days

      the guy who made the most popular post i saw about how actually she isn't trans because she only explicitly states she's a girl at the end and before that she says she's a boy,and it was all because of the evil translators has this as a bio

        Anybody who equates LGBT people with grooming is a pedo, zero exceptions.

          :yea:

          also, if they weren't joking about being teachers, should someone try and let their schools know? idk. doxxing isn't great when it comes to randos, but :yikes:

            Doxxing is horrible and should never be done to randos, but it has worked fairly well as a form of antifascist praxis in the past. It's a tough call in general. But it's a very easy call when a teacher is both a pedophile and a vocal queerphobe. In that case, doxxing them means that you're protecting their pupils from the threat of bigotted harassment and SA. That person just has no business being around children.

            HOWEVER, you should make absolutely sure that it's actually them. Lots of extremely online reactionaries operate sock puppet accounts and are extremely manipulative liars. I wouldn't put it past them that they're still teenagers themselves and deliberately put out a false trail that directs doxxing attempts against one of their teachers.

              yeah, definitely agree with all that. there isn't really anything to be done here except hope they aren't actually teachers, which sucks

    grooming is when you allow a minor to work out their gender by their own volition
    not grooming is when you browbeat them into conforming to your made up gender roles based on their genitalia
    i am a smart

    Christians should receive jail time for false accusations of grooming.

    You sheep are part of a witch coven that is infamous for diddling, so who are you to talk?!

    Just about all of these transphobic weebs that think it's "grooming" to allow a child to figure out their gender identity, with the implication that the only "natural/normal" is :grillman: parents beating any noncomformity out of their property, I mean their children.

    Weren't these creeps the ones who were attracted to her (a character who looks underage) in the first place?

      It has to be something like

      " Ummm actually loli hentai is art which is good unlike grooming which is bad, also you need a very high IQ and an understanding of Japanese culture to appreciate the former"

      I'm convinced that when they say grooming they don't even mean that in a sexual sense, they're just afraid kids are being "recruited into the queer lifestyle" like they're evangelical pastors from the 90s

            honestly i'm not sure that's true. i kind of think these psychos have either convinced themselves that the gays are really mass molesting children or a small contingent of them have gone on to convince the greater rightosphere of the same. it's worrying in whichever case because i've started to see this propaganda repeated by even "non-political" right-wingers.

      This character was one of the first if not the origin of the word "trap", and calling them a trap means they find the bait enticing.

    I wonder what it feels like to create something only to find out your fanbase is by and large worthless

      From what I have seen online, the majority GG fanbase is A-OK with this. Most cheered when Testament was changed to They/Them. Also, the FGC has (at least in my viewing over the past 20 years) a better representation and acceptance of LGBTQ people than other Esports. My theory about this is that the FGC is born from arcade culture, where it did not matter who you were, but rather how good you were. It is also a community that's foundation was built on in person, side by side play...which makes be a little hesitant to shit talk (because you would get your ass beat).

      Finally, these g*mers are just rushing to bitch about Bridget because they have nothing better to do. I seriously doubt they were about to pick up GG:S a year into the meta then got butthurt about Bridget. They are just losers and should be ignored.

    Like, these are the same fuckers defending loli in other conversations now making these accusations as if they have any weight.

    Not that it matters, and obviously that was posted in bad faith, but she's not even a fucking kid. From the time of XX to Strive at least 6-7 years have passed. This wasn't a kid that was pressured into transitioning, this was an adult who wore women's clothing since she was a teenager basically """as a joke, to keep up the bit""" until she was like "oh shit oh fuck I really like this actually". There's no grooming. Literally the worst thing you could say about it is that she was helped through this by a glowie who works for the US department of defense.

    And none of these people talk about how they walked back Baiken's character from the XX days (In one of the endings for XXACC, Baiken claims to have cast away her gender because she's so angry). That seems like a bigger retcon of a character that didn't grow from a pre-teen to an adult throughout the series. MikeZ ass cumbrains.

    (edit: also this character is literally the first good Strive character holy shit. Happy Chaos came close but keeping mandatory frame one links in this game sucks. An obscene improvement of how she played in +R, I can't say that about anyone else in the cast. She has Faust buttons.)

      In animoos, the sexually objectified children (and dubiously-aged child-like characters) are never supposed to develop into complete adults, or visibly age for that matter. That just takes away the main appeal for weebs. :pathetic:

      idk hearing her dialogue and the lyrics of her theme song, this feels accurate to my experience as a trans person in a way that no other art not made by trans people has.

      I get how people get David Reimer from this, but her having a complicated relationship with her gender and going back and forth and back and forth before overcoming her internalized shame feels so fucking real to me
