So I got to write about LGBT characters in video games for WatchMojo.com and the video got posted today. I’m super happy that I got to write the script for it… and super amused/not even remotely surprised at comments like, “Why not do top 10 Straight Characters next,” because… it’s Youtube, but kudos to the amount of, “Please to be shutting up,” responses to said comments.
Anyhow, here’s the video! Also, there’s some spoilers (not too many), but just wanted to throw the warning out there.
where is paper mario vivian???
Reblogging because Vivian is a great choice, too! Definitely an honorable mention in my heart <3
For those who don’t know, in the original Japanese version of the game, Vivian is transgender and identifies as female even if characters say that she’s male. This isn’t in the English version.
A big factor in our choices is user votes, too. People can actually vote on who should make the top ten and I was happy to see so many choices, and even happier that it was tough to narrow it down to ten :) So even if she didn’t make the list she definitely deserves a shout out.
that’s strange because the french version clearly shows that she wants to be refereed to a girl but her sisters don’t want to D:
Yeah, I should’ve said “US” version, our version had that part removed.
This is the story of a geeky anime/gaming gal by the name of Chibi. Please fasten your seat belts and prepare for... some sort of ride? Oh! I love to write, and I also love doing crafty things. I go to conventions with my partner and sell woodburned things, clocks, mirrors, and more! So expect to see those on here too :)
