Current Events > Samus is trans

(+) Yeah! (+)

Its true! In 1994, the writers of the official Japanese Super Metroid strategy guide asked Metroids developers if they could share any secrets about the intergalactic bounty hunter. Hirofumi Matsuoka, who helped work on the original design for Samus Aran, claimed that she wasnt a woman, but instead, , or newhalf. This language has its own issues, but terminology used for gender in the early 90s was as different in Japan as it was in the West.
There has been some debate asking if the comment was in jest or genuine. Some have compared Matsuokas use of newhalf to the offensive Western term shemale. Its possible to interpret this as an ugly joke about Samuss traditionally masculine appearance, as illustrated in the 80s by Nintendo Power, where she is said to be six foot three and 198 pounds.

remember when brianna wu ran for office and her campaign platform was "i have a cool motorcycle"

Start new characters with how they want them but Never change a preexisting character

We're so starved for outrage and drama here that we're digging up old shit to get mad at apparently.

Fans asking for ironclad proof of Samuss apparent transition can suspend their disbelief enough to believe there are bird aliens that develop powersuits, but cant believe a girl could declare her gender identity at a young age.
