Damn, I was looking forward to playing this one. Well, not now, though I know it will sell like crazy
Why not? She was trans originally in the original Japanese version.
Trans people didn't exist in 2004, except in obscure Weimar-esque pockets of bohemian hipsters and classrooms teaching Queer Theory.
Even if this character was trans in 2004, they changed the dialog to rub our noses in it. Nintendo can fuck right off. Oh and he's still a man.
Well they did but they were rightly looked at as freaks but almost everyone.
Transvestite, yes. Not a trans woman. Those are very different things. Transvestites are basically the same thing as drag queens.
No, Vivian was only trans in the Italian version. In English and German Vivian was a girl, and in all other versions, including Japanese, Vivian was a feminine looking boy, and the confusion other characters had was a source of humour.
