Oh man, I remember TV ads for the Kick 'N' Go. (Yes, I'm old. :D )
Didn't know it was made by Honda, though, and never heard about the safety issue.

What typa crossover is this 😭

The face kind of reminds me of Kubo's artstyle

You know, this does feel SIGNIFICANTLY more risky with the horse ears at risk...

Wouldn't it easier for them to bring their ears downward? Or would that take too much effort to keep them down for a prolonged period of time? :BlobThonkSpin:

iirc, horse ears perk up during stress... being a stand for a bow target for this stunt WILL induce stress. :BlobSweat:

Best form of flattery.

So, which Indian god is she host to this time?

No Reason would like to have a word with you, Durandal

Keep that up and Durandal will lock you in a colony ship for sale.

A certain sword formerly stuck in a stony cliff and now languishing in somebody's basement somewhere:
Tu m'as trahi!

And Durandal is still missing to this day. :DogeKek:

Get on with it, Sei-chan.

She's too busy being Nezuko having a bit gag in her mouth

Let's not forget the unapologetic Mama Creek in that group :DogeKek:

Yeah, Bridget has always been a boy disguised as a girl. That doesn't mean he's trans in the western sense. I'm dead sure the translation mistook "transexual" for whatever that word for effeminate/crossdressing boy is, but it's impossible to check by myself, and I don't have the energy to reason people thinking otherwise.

To be fair, it's only a third of the transgender mark, which only means it's been stylized by leaving the difference between that and the intersex symbol. (Also, a horizontal flip of the gender-neutral symbol.) Fictional sources do tend to do their own thing occasionally. I've met a variety of definition purists who believe that symbols, when other meaning has not been established, should be completely depicted to indicate proper representation; otherwise, it's either an inversion of the original meaning, a corruption of it, or some other imperfection. The vibe is not dissimilar to depicting the cross upside down to casually refer to something unholy (ignoring that an upside down cross actually does mean something on its own) and not unlike substituting other shapes for a swastika in WWII media.

People are going to complain one way or another.

Thank you for interview clarifying things.

See but, it's not the transgender symbol, it's the androgyne symbol, it's a real, separate symbol with its own meaning. Daisuke is very passionate about these things, if he meant for it to be the transgender symbol, it would be the full transgender symbol. He obviously meant for it to represent Bridget's uncertainty about her identity until the end of Strive. But of course you can't ever trust a journalist to actually do their research and know what they're talking about these days, even when getting their info straight from the source.

Seriously man, literally every official source, including the official GG website, says she identifies as a girl. She's not just a crossdresser. Just get over it. Daisuke wouldn't be letting people call her trans if she wasn't trans.

So that's the new narrative?

Director Katano and designer Ishiwatari : "Bridget was always meant to be trans."

that still confuses me though- Bridget was assigned female, then chose to be a woman: Hence, Bridget is technically a cis girl, anatomy irrelevant.

Are your beliefs falsifiable? Is there any level of evidence that you would accept as proof that this was the authorial intent?

I thought this was the Pringles guy

Also, the source of the video from October 18th, 2016. Lillis and Taylor were out getting lunch in Los Angeles in/near Koreatown and decided to improvise as Misty and Ash. More clips are here:

• Lunch with @TheVeronicaT. #AshandMistyinLA

• Ash and Misty vs. rush hour traffic. And the concept of reality. @TheVeronicaT

• Ash and Misty vs. the law. And Ash's mom. (I'm a master of improv) @TheVeronicaT

And, of course, rest in peace to Rachael Lillis, gone far too soon! I admittedly found out about this while browsing tributes.
