Sure they're played up for comedic reasons but like at their core they actually kind of hit home

Brain Damaged is an example of "it's all a dream" being done right
it's up there with Cry of Fear when it comes to utilizing that trope in a good way

the game is offensive but the writing has some good moments

They intended to make the shitpost that offends everyone and they were successful

They're fun games but they're not good in any manner xD

Postal is not a good example of anything

It's an anime fighting game that has a really fucking convoluted story, and so the 'guy who was raised to be a girl deciding to be trans because of the advice of someone else' is such a small thing in it but sad internet people gonna be mad over anything Queer

Is that like an arena fight or something

Andros and friends! 🔞

11 Jul 2023 21:14

I mean as someone who's trans? I just like seeing how upset this makes weebs

some retcons are needed, this one was just not the best retcon to put it lightly

Andros and friends! 🔞

11 Jul 2023 21:11

the storyline of Bridget questioning their identity came out of nowhere and intervened in a different story arc, that entire previous story arc only started and then suddenly got retconned

Andros and friends! 🔞

11 Jul 2023 21:09

in the natural ending is a bit unknown, and in the good ending, bridget is the same bridget that they are in the previous games, just more confident with what they want to do

also we still have to find out what happened to Bridget's family because y'know....
they're missing

previous Guilty Gear games had a "all endings are canon" approach to the story, Strive outright breaks that tradition and caused each ending to be its own isolated thing, Bridget is trans only in the bad ending of her arcade mode

Andros and friends! 🔞

Strive is a break of tradition

Andros and friends! 🔞

11 Jul 2023 21:01

and if you get strive and decide to try Bridget on arcade mode (character-specific story mode), try to get perfect on all levels

Andros and friends! 🔞

11 Jul 2023 21:23

I mean the game has some pretty topical satires

Andros and friends! 🔞

11 Jul 2023 21:22

Given what I've seen of them I highly doubt that

Andros and friends! 🔞

11 Jul 2023 21:20

But unironically using them as a good example for anything goes against the natire of them

Andros and friends! 🔞

11 Jul 2023 21:19

That's why they're masterpieces

Andros and friends! 🔞

11 Jul 2023 21:19

Postal is a masterpiece

Andros and friends! 🔞

11 Jul 2023 21:18

an example for a good retcon:
postal 1: at the end postal dude kills himself
postal 4: the postal dude from the 1st game is actually alive and healthy, and is the father of the postal dude from 2, 3 and Brain Damaged, and you get to kill him

it's a fighter game, some describe it as "if street fighter and schizophrenia had a child"

11 Jul 2023 21:14

I might be transmasc but my inner gremlin cackles

Andros and friends! 🔞

11 Jul 2023 21:14

Sometimes it becomes really evident when they're trying to pant or to a community but I really have no idea what this game is you're talking about

Andros and friends! 🔞

11 Jul 2023 21:12

Oh no, game developers retconning things, this has never happened before ever in the history of gaming

Andros and friends! 🔞

11 Jul 2023 21:10

It's just a fighting game, who cares in the end. Let the trans community have their W cause they don't get a lot of rep in gaming, good or bad

Andros and friends! 🔞

11 Jul 2023 21:08

So I guess cope seethe and mald that she's not a femboy anymore?

Andros and friends! 🔞

11 Jul 2023 21:08

Regardless, the game does treat her as canonically trans

Andros and friends! 🔞

11 Jul 2023 21:06

Oh, they were groomed
