Title: this is what it's like to be pwned
Post by: S-U-P-E-R on February 15, 2006, 07:40:55 PM
TYP: Is the girl in that Faust "True ad" supposed to be anyone in particular?
SUPER: oh god I'm going to quote you right now
TYP: oh sh

I'd defend myself, but it would only invite further lampooning.

I'm failing to see how SUPER's first paragraph has anything to do with his second? It's driving me insane.

Not only do I not get the True ad banner...

But I don't get why what Typ said is funny...

So apparently I fail.

Is it Bridget looking at Faust?
Is Bridget the new True girl(boy)?

TYP thought it was a girl, and it's not...It's Bridget...THE END!

Ah-Ha Bill!  You think you can go back and change time, but you can't!  I caught you.

Also, I just noticed that you're 1074 and I'm 1076.  I wonder who's 1075.

What TYP said is funny because he didn't realise the "girl" in the banner was Bridget.
...eh. I laughed.

The TRU banner is supposed to funny because I replaced the sexy girl that TRU wanted people to "come and get" with Bridget.
...eh. I laughed.

I think the biggest problem with the banner is that people are thinking faust has something to do with the joke. He doesn't. and the second biggest problem with the banner is that I desperatley need photoshop.

edit: oh, Bill already explained it.

I've heard so many cases of people saying, "Wow, she's hot." that it's confirmed: someone wants it.

Pfff, you are ignoring the point...There are more than enough cute girls out there (because girls are meant to be attractive)...Finding a cute guy is MUCH more rare (for obvious reasons)...
Title: RE: this is what it's like to be pwned
Post by: Smash_Brother on February 16, 2006, 11:28:28 AM
I'm not sure I follow...

Are you saying that effeminate men are more desirable because they look like girls, which in turn will spiral into a debate that heterosexual women who are attracted to effeminate men are actually closet lesbians?

Or are you saying that effeminate men are simply "rare" and therefore special? (I'll argue that one to the bitter end...)

As long as you're sure you're a guy and not a female German Olympian or something, sure (with all the gender confusion in this thread, I have to ask).

Some interesting tidbits about Briget:

Bridget is a character in the Guilty Gear fighting game series, first appearing in Guilty Gear XX. Despite the name and appearance, Bridget is actually male. The reason for his feminine appearance and name is that he was the second of two twin boys (the other isn't named) and born in a village (also unnamed) in which twin boys were said to be bad luck. His birthday is October 26, his nationality is English, and his blood type is O. His voice actress is Hiroko Konishi.

His feminine appearance is often a source of humor among fans, and mentioned in-game in his ending with Johnny, who is immensely embarassed that he had been hitting on "another man." The posters on many imageboards, particularly 4chan, found him extremely attractive, whether or not they grudgingly accepted his background. Thus, he became a meme/sex symbol as a moekko who happens to be a boy and a shotacon character with, surprisingly enough, popularity in heterosexual male fandom that hugely outweighs any expected female-based fandom. As such, it's not uncommon for the phrases such as "Bridget made me g ay" or "Everybody’s g ay for Bridget" to be used when discussing the character or any other character who shares Bridget's cross-dressing behavior. Nearly all unauthorized 'zine work identifies him with being male rather than retroactively transgendering the character, although he is universally a 'bottom' paired with aggressive, dominant partner.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridget_%28Guilty_Gear%29

Also, he was supposedly inspired by a song by "The Who" called "I'm a Boy".

Post by: Pale on February 17, 2006, 05:46:23 AM
Man... wikipedians are crazy!

I still stand by my "it's a girl character and the writers thought it would be funny to make him a boy" idea...

Are there any official images of him that actually make him look like a boy?
Title: RE: this is what it's like to be pwned
Post by: KDR_11k on February 17, 2006, 06:04:31 AM
Female voice actor, eh? Yeah, sounds a whole lot like "That character is so boring. What can we do with her? Hey, let's make her a man!". Never mind that England is a fairly unlikely place for such a belief.
Title: RE: this is what it's like to be pwned
Post by: Smash_Brother on February 17, 2006, 06:11:53 AM
Yeah, that's what I said. Of all places, England seemed the very least likely for such a concept.

That's not really uncommon for voice acting for male characters, especailly younger ones. Case in point Bart Simpson and Ash Ketchum/Satoshi (voiced by a female actor in both versions).

Here's some official art...

He is actually a little more masculine in that picture.  Does he ever wear pants?
Title: RE: this is what it's like to be pwned
Post by: Bill Aurion on February 17, 2006, 09:04:54 AM
He does wear pants, it's just hard to tell in that picture...Well, I guess you could consider them bloomers, but they seem more like cycling pants to me (if you even know what I'm talking about)...

 
Title: RE: this is what it's like to be pwned
Post by: Smash_Brother on February 17, 2006, 09:50:45 AM
Yeah, bicycle shorts.

I'd like to see some fan art of him on the opposite end of the spectrum, where he's ripped and hairy, maybe even sporting a full beard. You show people the first picture, then the 2nd to prove to them that he's a guy.

Which reminds me: bearded Link would look awesome.

I think most of this comes from creepy fans taking fanart too far.

More to the point, though, is there any evidence whatsoever that Bridget has...you know...boobs?

Face it, pale: you're sexually attracted to a guy and there's nothing you can do about it.
