    It’s awkward writing trying to do some sort of justice to a character they introduced 20 years ago with little forethought. To quote wikipedia:

    Bridget was created by Guilty Gear Daisuke Ishiwatari, wanting to create a “cute character,” initially presenting her as a crossdressing boy, a detail that was kept secret to most staff members.[4][5] Ishiwatari “wanted something unconventional” to differentiate Bridget from other fighting games’ cute characters; he and staff members decided it “would be interesting to make the character a guy.”[5][6]

    Following speculation about Bridget’s gender following her addition to Guilty Gear Strive, Ishiwatari and Strive director Akira Katano confirmed that Bridget self-identifies as a woman and uses “she/her” pronouns.

      noooo what do you mean japanese people can also be woke, stooopppp, you’re literally ruining my reactionary fascist ethnostate fantasies, it’s clearly westerners who pushed and forced this shit and threatened to cancel them if they didn’t put a trans character in the game 😭😭😭😭
