Nope. It's actually made into somewhat of a spectacle in the remake, even.

If it's the sauna with the hulking, muscly, hunks of man meat, then no, they didn't.

No, but the stuff with the gym was expanded, though. You still get a bunch of similar energy, x.x

Make no mistake: he IS a problematic conservative, but you're also embarrassing yourself. Calm down.

Crossdressing hostess is common trope in anime.

Where the hell are you getting this take from?

It's pretty obvious why the scene in OP is problematic. But if it needs to be explained to you, it's because FF8 is treating being trans as something wrong. Squall is blatantly being transphobic by questioning the validity of the woman's gender.

It has nothing to do with crossdressing.

I also don't care for your rationalizion of this as "lol theyre just anime tropes". So transphobic material is okay so long as it's presented as an anime trope? Yikes.

It's almost as if subtext isn't a thing. Clearly in 1998, writing a transwoman as an "exposed" man in a dress is okay and that the writers had zero negative intentions in turning a person's identity into a comedic scene.

/s, obviously. Also, this has nothing to do with FFVII so I really don't understand why people keep deflecting to that.

TC clearly missed the joke trying to virtue signal.

The joke is that Squall, a rather callous communicator (Talk to a wall), has the option to answer the question rudely. Him being able to question if they are even a woman is supposed to be insulting because hes saying they are ugly.

Its purely coincidence that the individual is either crossdressing, or in the starting stage of being trans. Hard to know since Japan has things like traps and other tropey gimmicks about this.

Squall was not being transphobic.

Wasn't trolling. I just don't think making jokes with the subtext "haha man in dress" are funny or appropriate.

The FFVII thing is a different story because it serves as a genuine plot point and there is no joke to be had.
