Gotta love how despite the soft looking exterior, Bridget is one of the only characters to take Faust's wheelchair with a smile. What a fucking champion
I mean the games have always been about slowly changing and bettering yourself or accepting who you are no matter your circumstances it’s just this game especially amps it to 11
Ky removing Sin's eye was closer to an emergency operation than something done on a whim. What with the whole "seemingly endless uncontrollable source of power" thing it has going on. Not exactly the safest thing to leave with a child.
I love how her theme is about her being a girl, she outright says she’s a girl and even the creator of the game says “she’s a girl” and there are still people out there in denial and still think of her as a boy.
@@necr0n17 she says that earlier in the route because she is scared of coming out, the lyrics in her song “I can’t go home cause I’m afraid something will change” symbolizes this. She’s grown up defined by what other people think of her and she hasn’t taken the time to think about how she thinks of her self and her theme and arcade mode are about this self discovery, free of expectations.
@@necr0n17you can even hear it in her voice how it’s not certain to her there, when she confirms she is a girl she does it confidently and sounds genuinely happy about it
@@brentcurtis2447 oh sorry you have a thick skull, Bridget! if you think shes a boy, its aright we know you're mentally ill and need to touch some grass.
@@danubeisreallypeculiarrive7944 it does. Bridget’s whole story was supposed to be about proving the superstitious town wrong while Bridget also tries to alleviate their parents’ guilt over raising their son as a daughter. Having Bridget be a girl basically proves the superstitious idiots in the town right while also reinforcing her parents’ guilt instead of alleviating it. There’s nothing wrong with Bridg being trans from a meta perspective, but from a storyline perspective it just makes the last 21 years of storytelling and characterisation pointless.
@adend1233 You're literally the cringe bro. Why hurt people who just want to live? Why? Honestly ask yourself, why? Have they ever physically hurt you, tried to harm you? If not, then why?
I'd say read Developer Backyard volume 11. TLDR Home town has a weird superstition about make twins. Her parents had her pretend to be a girl growing up so the villagers wouldn't kill or banish her. Her parents feel guilty about this and refuse to believe she's happy no matter what she does. She decides the obvious solution there is to try and make a ton of money in a manly profession so people couldn't believe shes a bad omen and can be a boy without problems. Keep in mind she is literally only 13 when she came up with that. She sees a poster for a bounty worth a ton of money and sets out to capture it. Her entire motivation to try and live as a boy was making her parents feel better. She fails for reasons that require way too much lore explanation but did become an incredibly successful bounty hunter and got the village to drop belief in that superstition at some point in the 6 year time skip between XX and Steve. I'm Strive she's essentially struggling with if she should keep living as a man and pushing down her feelings and identity. She's afraid of losing the life she has and how others would react to it if she went public about being a trans woman, including her parents. She resolves to be her true self and not let what others think stop her by the end of it. Strive's weird and you kinda have to look at all 3 routes in order to get the full story in its arcade mode since they're all explicitly telling the same story but vary in what aspects of the characters come up.
I did some research on Bridget specifically, and her lore is pretty interesting and awesome. So from what I read she was born male as a twin with a brother, and her home town had superstitions against male twins. If her family didn't lie and raise her as a girl she probably would have been killed because of the superstition. When she got older she decided to prove her community wrong and becomes a powerful, famous bounty hunter. She makes everyone proud all while making it clear that she's a boy, which pretty much gets rid of her town's beliefs. As we see in this video though, it's not as fulfilling as she thought. She was only trying to free herself from the expectations of her village, and she later realized that she is happiest being a girl as long as it's the identity she chooses, rather than something she's forced into out of circumstance.
If you wanna know the lore theirs a channel called "woolieversus" that does a really good job at putting everything in order and summarizing the main big points
this feels good to listen to and see in a triple a video game (AND the studio is based in japan, a slightly homophobic country). i really appreciate the representation and it's really comfortimg to hear the other characters support her... wish MY family was this nice 🤣🤣🤣
@@amongstsus9201 micheal the girl has been commenting on a ton of other comments saying she is trans saying she isn't so sad their fragile brains cant handle the concept of trans. its ok tho
Word on the street is that apparently now that Bridget's confirmed to be trans and not confusingly dressed, there's debates on their pronouns. Gotta love how in a world torn by endless debates, battles to be the correct one, clashing ideologies, excessive stubbornness, and much more than I can list in a reasonably sized comment, we apparently need a battle over if a character who's finding their identity should be referred to as who they are or who they were. People just love to fight these days, huh?
Especially because none of it matters because you're arguing over a fictitious character who will never exist, will never have feelings, and will never be able to confirm or deny whatever your claims are. Just use the pronouns the wiki uses or don't use any at all, it's easier that way.
I've tried looking. Where have you seen? Without an actual statement from ArcSys, the fandom is pretty much gonna keep arguing back and forth until the game dies.
@@djhero0071 dude literally look up "bridget trans" and you will get 20 different articles saying how arcsystemworks finally confirmed IN THE GAME she is canonically a trans women
I can't find a statement directly from ArcSys tho. I've seen a lot of the articles but most of the naysayers that argue she isn't trans use the flawless run as proof. Until ArcSys puts out a statement through social media or their developer backyard, people are probably gonna keep arguing about it.
@@devilfacethedarklord I looked her up and she’s done a couple of voice work like she’s Doc Ock in Spidey and his Amazing Friends for Disney Jr, Midori Midorikawa in No More Heroes 3 and Flan from Epic Seven. She’s kinda new and haven’t heard of her before, but honestly she sounds great as Bridget. Welcome to Guilty Gear, Kelly. 😊
@@UniverseOfGamerSpain At first yes but in this very game it is revealed she is in fact a trans women. I haven't even played any of these games and I know this.
@@UniverseOfGamerSpain She became a bounty hunter and revealed herself to be a boy to the world to prove her village's superstition wrong, but after the fact she realized she didnt like being a boy at all and would much rather stay a girl.
where is the part where Goldlewis Dickinson says "that was hard to watch" and "You really mean that? It sure ain’t what your eyes are sayin’." to Bridget? It's missing. happens if you lsoe stage 2 to 7
why is it that trans characters need apparently to come out holding the trans flag, saying their pronouns out loud, wearing nothing but the colors of the trans flag, holding a plushie of a shark, with a 500 page book written by the author telling how trans the character is... for people to accept that they are trans? why is it not enough that the character say they are? "but the flawless ending" - supports the "I'm a girl" ending and all endings have always been true to the characters, no one even questioned "good or bad endings" before, and this was never an issue until a trans character was involved... I wonder why.
@@H1NAZAK1 no. why do I need to chill out and not the people trying to erase the fact that she is trans? why am I supposed to be quiet when others missgender and act transphobic towards a character? you seriously think people like that won't do the same to real people? so no. I won't chill out.
Where's the one later in arcade mode where Goldlewis asks if he should call her a cowboy or a cowgirl and Bridget responds "Cowgirl is fine, because.... I'm a girl!!!!" with absolute sincerity and obviously being over the moon?
