Forums - Gaming Discussion - Metroid’s Samus Aran is a Transgender Woman

This makes a lot of sense, really. A true woman wouldn't go around shooting space pirates when there is housework to be done, and his/her chest and general body structure looks far from genuine.

Good thing we have companies like Nintendo to keep fantasies from getting out of hand.

I wouldn't mind if she is a transgender but I doubt she really is one.

Oh, how sweet, another 3rd wave feminist trying to stir some shit for attention.

I thought out of all the people you would know terminology. Tranny is most commonly meant to address transgenderor transsexual. What you are talking about is a transvestite. While tranny can be used for a transvestite, it rarely isn't because there is a better word already for it.

Trust me, I know which boxes I have to uncheck when searching for porn.


Hmmm, actually, you're right. Just checked it up after what you told me, and tranny applies to transgender, transsexual, tranvestite, cross-dressers and drag queens, as a derogative slang/slur. Didn't know that it applied to transgender too, mainly because the word "tranny" translates into Spanish as "tranvestite", which only refers to people who dress as one.

 

You learn something everyday!

Probably, yeah.



Guys... check the samus aran wiki talk, it's been confirmed that it was a joke and he said several times that she is a woman.

Also Brianna Wu should probably get her head checked out, crazy sjw will sjw i guess, she spent hours in an edit war on the wiki article lol.



"The truth is, you can’t know if someone is transgender by simply looking at them. "

well if the definition of transgender is someone who has the opposite gender from their sex then i would beg to differ

i think that it is in fact very easy to tell the difference between a man and a woman; if there was no difference between the two we would have no need to separate them into groups


its a bit strange though that an intergalactic bounty hunter who has the job of finding hideous monsters and defeating them is at the same time so concerned about his appearance that he goes through a process to change his appearance as is implied here


". Over the years, Nintendo has slowly altered Samus’s design into a petite blond woman with large breasts."

i thought that "The truth is, you can’t know if someone is transgender by simply looking at them. "?

so why would this matter?



"IT'S CANNON"

It might be arm cannon, Samus is all about that, but there's no evidence at all pointing towards Samus wanting to be a man, or having been born as one. So I'd say her being trans is impossible to defend as "canon".



Uh.............no.
