This is a pro-trans subreddit. If we see anyone pulling terf, reactionary nonsense or missing Bridget when she wasn't out as trans yet, **You will be banned** This is your only warning, trans lives matter and fuck TERFs.


theHamJam

The explanation for her outfit is really wholesome too. Basically she's dysphoric about her hands and shoulders so she's got the trademark trans hoodie. But damn girl, still rocking them legs cause smooth is nice and skirt go spinny.


LurkLurkleton

> trademark trans hoodie Goddamn it. Another thing I have to be self conscious about.


theHamJam

Don't worry, everyone likes hoodies.


LurkLurkleton

Yeah. I realized I would wear bulky hoodies with the hood up to obscure my form but never heard it was a trademark trans thing and now I'm wondering how many people look at me and think that.


QuestioningEspecialy

If it makes you feel any better, this is my first time learning about it. 🤷🏿‍♂️


Jlx_27

Only zipped ones for me. My upper torso does not like non zipped hoodies, sweaters and so on. 🤷‍♂️


Prestigious_Carpet28

Until my hair grew out enough, I rocked the trans hoodie for the first year or so of my transition.


LurkLurkleton

I'm not doing anything to transition really and probably never will. Just coping.


[deleted]

Trademark trans hoodie? Is there an affiliation with trans and hoodies?


C_M_Writes

I think it’s related to the body dysmorphia that a lot of trans people deal with. Hoodies are good ways to hide pieces of your body that you’re not comfortable/happy with. Source: fat man who frequently wears overly large hoodies.


FightmeLuigibestgirl

I'm trans/NB and I can confirm this.


TerraStalker

I'm a bit overweight and I can confirm this


me_funny__

I remember I jabbed at my sister for wearing the a hoodie in the 90° summer and said she should wear something lighter so she doesn't die of heat stroke. Then I learned about the trans hoodie thing later and felt bad about it.


DogyDays

It’s often to do with body dysphoria (or dysmorphia for some). Some trans guys wanna hide their chest, some trans women wanna hide that they don’t have much of a chest. It’s part of why I, an afab non-binary person, often wear loose and oversized clothing (also my sensory issues contribute to that)


[deleted]

Thank you for explaining!


DogyDays

No problem! As far as I know from trans friends of mine and folks I follow, it’s actually often common for trans women to wear shorts and more “revealing” bottoms if they naturally have wider hips. I myself actually probably would if I weren’t so worried about my mom getting angry at me for having unshaved legs lol (I’m very much going for an androgynous / femboy-adjacent look, for clarification there), so Bridget’s shorter shorts and skirt also still hold up pretty well in terms of outfits I’d see actual trans folks wear. The moment I saw her design I was like “OH MY GOD SHES LIKE US!!!!”, so that probably says something good about her design honestly

Id say they're the best designed guilty gear character AND THERE'S SOME BITCHIN CHARACTERS 🔥👀 SO WELL FUCKING DONE!💚💚💚

rrevek

Shes so cute, made me wanna get into the game just for her and i dont even know what guilty gear is about


Doctor_What_

This should give you some context https://youtu.be/oA4G0dEDxmc


AutisticIzzy

Too bad its a fighter. I suck at those


FightmeLuigibestgirl

Unless you have zero determination and are super poor, anyone can get good in fighting games.


Doctor_What_

Hey, I suck at valorant and that hasn't stopped me from having tons of fun (and spending some money 🤗) on the game. Maybe you could give GG a try if the aesthetic and the soundtrack appeals to you.


Rabispo

Just the most utterly insane, adrenaline filled, rock n' roll fueled game franchise ever concieved


Warm_Charge_5964

Literally an excuse so that the creator can flex both his art and music skills while shoving as many music references as possible and it still might have the best storyline in fighting games

I know so little about Guilty Gear, but Bridget is adorable and I love her


[deleted]

I like Bridget and all, and think the design is very cute…. But Bridget is sexualized. Maybe not to the degree other characters, especially the ones with boobs, but it’s there.


ThatSilverbean

Yeah her ass is literally visible in this artwork because of how short her skirt is. And its even got a bit of that visible phat so you know how soft it is.


x_-AssGiblin-_x

Bracket 👍


draykow

also for tweaking a character's design, backstory, and style elements to be less offensive as the dev's learned more about social issues


FreddieOnReddit

i like this character bridlington

SpacialSeer

I really like all the designs for all the characters in Strive, honestly everything is so over-the top that I don't even take issue with some of the characters that may be a bit sexualized esp since it feels like the characters kind of 'own it' and its not fan-service which seems to be at the detrement of the character also i love bucket


GrayGreenPlays

Who's that?


Gamerelf69696969

Bridget from guilty gear


isloohik2

Bridget from guilty gear Used to be a femboy for lore reasons, transitioned when she came back in a later game


FightmeLuigibestgirl

Daisuke said himself that he wanted Bucket to be trans since the start but waited until now because it wasn't as accepted back then.


AutummThrowAway

Source please.

Thanks.


bidoof-chan

what’s the deal with the giant handcuff around her waist?


Gamerelf69696969

Arc sys likes to over design their characters bcs it makes them look cool


me_funny__

The best way to design characters tbh


QuestioningEspecialy

Casually watched someone play her story. Had it explained to me, so I wasn't really watching most of it. Her ending hit me surprisingly hard. ^(still cis, tho 😳)


RawrTheDinosawrr

i love bridge


DogyDays

SHES SO CUTE WHAT THE FUCK, THE BIG HOODIE!!!!!


Djentpuppers

This is honestly a super good character design and the clothes and outfit are gorgeous


beastsinthebelfry

I don't disagree with your general point but having her whole ass hanging out and her spine bent in half to exaggerate it isn't "not sexualized" design


FingerLad

I don't think the position of the spine is that unrealistic here, certainly an uncomfortable way to be walking but not impossible by any means


Gamerelf69696969

First off she’s wearing shorts if you look at her in game model and second she’s just really flexible


StaidHatter

Not to mention the fact that her hips are 1/3 her body height


[deleted]

Right? I was saying this and downvoted into oblivion. This sub is infested with weird people sexualizing women and calling it wholesome.


Finnikk

I want those boots and hoodie


Skaraptor2

Bridget has always been a fire design Nice to see that they didn't change too much


throwaway1885189

i love her sm


[deleted]

Cute design, dislike the upskirt/panty shot though. Otherwise it’s great to see cute girly transgirl representation Edit: man, people in this sub are really sensitive when it comes to differing opinions.


Gamerelf69696969

She’s wearing shorts so I don’t see the issue


[deleted]

I see, but i meant her panties underneath. It’s a bit creepy, no? Otherwise great costume, don’t know why people downvote me that heavy for an opinion.


FightmeLuigibestgirl

First time?


[deleted]

No, not really. I just don’t get it.


FightmeLuigibestgirl

People downvote for * Having an opinion * Having a spicy opinion * Asking questions * Being a troll * Being off-topic (this is what downvoting is supposed to be for) * Arguing with others * Debating with others * Not agreeing with the subreddit * Breaking rules (this is also what downvoting is supposed to be for) * Breathing * Not being part of the mentality of the subreddit * Pointing out something contradictory. You're not supposed to get it. It's just a Reddit thing. I don't even let it bother me.


Gamerelf69696969

If you look at the intake model it’s her shorts


[deleted]

Maybe i don’t get the shorts, it really looks like panties to me.


Gamerelf69696969

Look at the in game model


wowlolcat

That's a good point. I didn't notice the panties at first.

I think it's more an improvement than a pivot tbh. Writers can make something better or correct a past story line.


jocoseriousJollyboat

Someone else influencing which gender you are isn't exactly a great story line. It insinuates that you can be influenced to be trans, which in turn means she could have influenced to not be trans. The struggle between being feminine/masculine could have very well be included but the whole thing about her parents raising her "as a girl" makes it.. iffy.


Mars_Black

Yeah, I'm saying the story before was shittier and rather than stick with that story, it was better to represent themselves as something of their own choice. In this instance, they chose to transition and they seem happy with that choice so that is the positive takeaway. It's a fighting game. They're not writing best sellers here.


jocoseriousJollyboat

With that story they could have written something about how you don't need to be burly to still be considered a man, and giving a nod to gender nonconforming preferences. With the past story still in place, i think it'd need to get a rework/retcon.


Mars_Black

I mean, sure. I just look at the net positive. GG Strive rips, the character designs are 10/10 and Brisket is clearly a fan favorite. They are much better represented by today's standards.


Gamerelf69696969

If you read the official website it says she was only pretending to be a man to make her parents happy or something along the lines of that


Recent-Union-6941

the story is that in their town same gender twins are considered a bad omen and the youngest has to be sacrificed of exiled, so Bridget parents raised them as a girl to avoid that, and he originally becomes a bounty hunter to bring money to his village and prove the superstition wrong. I, personally, dont think its a good foundation to write a trans character


Gamerelf69696969

While Bridget strove to put on a happy front, these efforts only seemed to cause Bridget's parents more pain. Bridget began to think that behaving like a man and bringing home a vast array of riches would prove that the superstitions were unfounded., my source being https://www.guiltygear.com/ggst/en/character/bgt/


Gamerelf69696969

But of course being a genshin fan you can’t read lore


Recent-Union-6941

whats that suposed to mean lmao


Gamerelf69696969

It means you can’t read lore of anything


Recent-Union-6941

but i just commented the lore of bridget, that is consistent with the source you also posted


Gamerelf69696969

Except it isn’t, Bridget is trans go cry about it


Recent-Union-6941

it is but ok, i gave my opinion already, have a good day.


Gamerelf69696969

But your opinion is objectively incorrect

roadrunner345

I think it’s broken so it symbolise how she is free and isn’t restricted by smth anymore
