All my dreams are lost and I can't sleep. And sleep alone could ease my mind.

This was fun to do.

@MARSODWROTNIETO Yeah, kinda sucks.

[Winslow @FaustPhantasmic]

@MARSODWROTNIETO It wasn't a post. It was from a Q&A article from waaay back then. This was long ago, so people made those types of jokes without hesitation, especially in japan.

[Winslow @FaustPhantasmic]

@MARSODWROTNIETO @DaddyTsume Actually, she isn't trans. A background artist used a slur word to call Samus trans as a joke.

Yoshio Sakamoto later confirmed that it was false and that she's not trans.

No disrespect. Please try to understand.

[Winslow @FaustPhantasmic]

@BlankPNG_ @Huntresscatra It wasn't an interview. Devs were asked to name a secret about the game only they knew. People began responding with poor taste jokes like "I know where her beauty mark is." A background artist used a slur term to call her trans.

Yoshio Sakamoto later confirmed she isn't trans.

[Winslow @FaustPhantasmic]

@thiamersal @TransGirlPerDay Unfortunately, it was a derogatory joke as the design artist(not a story or character conceptor) who said it, used a Japanese slur word. Not the best representation to be championing.

Yoshio Sakamoto later confirmed she wasn't trans.

Sorry for the false hope.

[Winslow @FaustPhantasmic]

Sorry to say, but it's been confirmed that Samus is not trans. Yoshio Sakamoto has, on his own, said she's not, confirming he knew there was misinformation. The official manga even depicts her as always being female

This started from a background designer's deragatory remark.

@RedSynergy2k Kamen Rider was '71. Gatchaman was '72.
Ultraman goes even further back to '66.

[Winslow @FaustPhantasmic]

@RedSynergy2k It was probably shows like Kamen Rider and Gatchaman as well since they established the style before Japanese spiderman came out.

@Sal01110100 @DastardlyMayo @teelopesmusic @BoundaryBreak I mean, cosplayers can pull it off somehow.

[Winslow @FaustPhantasmic]

@jackalsgaze Pretty sure the art direction was done by a man named Robert Valley, who is Canadian, not Japanese.

[Winslow @FaustPhantasmic]

@SmallWrite94 "When in reality..."

But it isn't reality. It's fiction. Fiction is larger than life and characters can look like whatever. Crazier things are 'the norm' in their world.

[Winslow @FaustPhantasmic]

@XL_Pharrow @Ashtimus_Prime @Kotaku Doesn't mean it's common knowledge. For some it'll be their first time.

[Winslow @FaustPhantasmic]

@THY_APTERYX @anders_mai @scottEweinberg Being a fan of source material and peppering in fan service to rely fan nostalgia doesn't give it soul though. Anyone can do that. It is a fun movie on spectacle alone and that's okay, but you gotta see it's weak points too, the points that matter a lot to a story.

[Winslow @FaustPhantasmic]

@legndofphoenix @SmoothBrainDev @DianaBunny1103 And for many people, it's not. Who's right? You or them?

You can't force your preference on other people regardless of what you like. Are you advocating for that? To force it onto people? Or to censor 'impossible' attractiveness?

[Winslow @FaustPhantasmic]

@whimsiary @legndofphoenix @DianaBunny1103 I never said men don't like it, I'm saying women like that too. That's why I used romance novels, written for women, as an example. It sells for both genders. Your point is the same as mine.

[Winslow @FaustPhantasmic]

@DianaBunny1103 @legndofphoenix It has an effect, yes, but not the one you think. It enforces things that you already believe to be true. We are constantly looking for reflections of our own beliefs to agree with. When you find them, you indulge. That's on you and your own personal experiences.

[Winslow @FaustPhantasmic]

@DianaBunny1103 @legndofphoenix That's not the media's fault they're not smart. That's on them. Someone didn't teach them right. The same way fiction can't get you to be violent unless that already exists in you, that stupidity can't be created unless it was already there.

[Winslow @FaustPhantasmic]

@DianaBunny1103 @legndofphoenix Be that as it may, it only resonates with you because it uses universally taught beliefs, like killing is bad. That doesn't stem from the media. The media only uses it because it's well regarded, like most things it can capitalize off of.

[Winslow @FaustPhantasmic]

@DianaBunny1103 @legndofphoenix Yes, I understand that violence in fiction does not influence you, regardless of whether it glorifies violence or not. Even if it does, a sensible person will not agree with the actions because your learned morals beat that.
