        the only difference between a trap/femboy and trans is if the person just likes looking feminine but accepts themselves as a boy; vs the latter which actually wants to identify as a girl

    Trans Vivian is the original script, having that scrubbed was the frick-up.
    Localization quality isn't based on how well it lines up with your politics, it's based on how well it communicates the original intentions.

    I won't hear any argument about whether a trans character should exist. My only horse in this race is that stories shouldn't change any more than absolutely necessary when they get localized.

    Nintendo would never do something like that. And even if they did, it wouldn't even be true to Vivian's nature in the original Japanese version of Thousand-Year Door since she's basically a femboy in that version.

    The fact you guys are so hooked on this trans stuff says more about all of you than it does about Nintendo, honestly. It's like what happened with Rivet from Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart: People didn't pay attention to the story of the game and actually believed she was trans.

    I think it'd be particularly amusing if the game's English dialogue surrounding Vivian remains exactly the same (while some dialogue elsewhere is changed, as Nintendo remakes have already done recently).

            Can you find evidence of this in the game script? Cause the "calling oneself a sister" theory is more plausible from my perspective.

            He calls himself a boy, the other characters call him a boy and the in-game descriptions call him a boy. You're absolutely in denial over this.

            Not ONCE has Vivian ever called herself a boy. Sure, everyone else has, but Vivian has NEVER once called herself male.

                The simpler theory is that her sisters bullied her because she had a boy's body and a girl's brain (though I have no idea how to even determine the sex of purple shadowy blobs to begin with), and they finally accepted her at the end of the story arc.

                I would be willing to engage in discussion, but not if you insult me or simply say "im right youre wrong". I am not willing to listen to such remarks because they are not constructive and in fact would make me feel even more defensive.

                I'm not insulting anyone. I'm merely defending my beliefs, and I don't accept your argument that "she just wants to be part of a family" because she called herself a sister. A gendered term which clearly demonstrates that someone is female.

                If you had two sisters, would you consider yourself part of the "three sisters" as well? See how ridiculous that sounds?

                There are countless trap characters that refer to themselve as girls, claim to be women at heart, use cheeky teasing language and wordplay and none of that has ever meant that they identify as women or see themselves as anything but men. You are bending over backwards to enforce this troony bullshit onto any character that so much as looks cute because your ideology hates feminine men who don't hate themselves.

                On top of all the other reasons why you're wrong, gender ideology wasn't a thing in Japan when Vivian was written. There was never such a thing as trannies back then, only crossdressing boys. Trannies are barely even a thing in Japan in modern day, and it's only because of people like you grooming and pushing your ideology into a nation that wanted nothing to do with you. You're trying to destroy both femboys and tomboys and any semblance of otokonoko culture.

                Yes, literally. I had sisters that played games where they were princesses and shit and I wanted to be included, too. I didn't see myself as a girl nor did I want to be a girl. I just wanted to be included. It's literally that simple with kids, but somehow you see it as an excuse to groom and mutilate children in real life and ruin characters in fiction.

                This is about an explicitly male character that you're trying to thrust troony ideology onto because you hate the idea of any man accepting himself and loving his own feminine tendencies. You want everybody like that to be riddled with self hatred and self doubt so they join cult. You can't stand the thought of a positive role model for feminine men ever existing, because that might lead to self acceptance one day and then you won't be able to "crack" your "eggs".

          She calls herself 三姉妹, which means "three sisters".
          It's really this simple.
          By calling herself and her family "three sisters", she is implying that she is one of the three sisters. Meaning that she thinks of herself as a girl.
          it's really that simple yet I've had to argue with morons all they because they're stubborn and don't listen. They will tell you cope such as "he just wants to be part of a family", but if that was the case, Vivian would have said カゲ三人組 (shadow TRIO) or even カゲ三兄弟 (three siblings).

If they wrote a character to be a white man, drew him as a white man and advertised him as a white men they can't pretend he was always black.

      It's not hard to read between the lines here, really. Maybe he just wants a family. Maybe he wants to be a woman. I don't care. It is a fact though that the subtext is extremely close to trans philosophy.

            Assuming that Vivian might be a troony solely because he doesn't say he's not a troony is like me insisting that Mario is a communist because he doesn't say he's not a communist. You're projecting and your sole argument in favor of your projection is that the character himself didn't refute you.

              You're right, they do refer to Vivian as a boy. All I said was that the subtext of a cute feminine boy wanting to belong to a sisterhood and learning to deal with rejection is definitely a trans-adjacent subtext. I never denied that he's a boy at all. You need to take a sip of water and relax man. Get some air.

                No, it's not. Trannies don't deal with rejection. Trannies are only trannies because they get groomed in a discord. Actual feminine men have to deal with rejection because they're brave. Trannies are just cowards who try to run from social stigma by pretending to be something they aren't.

                No, you missed the point. Trannies groom people in discords. They're surrounded by constant positive reinforcement and reassurance at all times. Because it's a cult. It's not a real identity. It's not a real sexuality. It's not a real lifestyle. It's just a cult, plain and simple. Nobody who's in a cult could be described as a person who faces rejection. They faced rejection BEFORE they joined the cult, which is probably why they were taken in by its false promises. But once in the cult they get coddled and manipulated so they will never leave.

So why would he call himself a sister if he truly deep down thought of himself as a male? Either he's spacy, or there's a complicated identity issue there for him.

                That depends on if the sisters didn't botch the introduction by mentioning the trio part early. The fan translation earlier in the thread has Beldam getting mad about "trio" not being emphasized, but Marilyn is the one who says "the three" before Vivian can say anything, so Vivian is possibly stuck with a botched introduction no matter what.

    The key is to look at Vivian's Japanese dialogue and speech patterns in different parts of the script throughout the game, including the ending, and seeing how people refer to Vivian at those points of the story as well. That will best clarify whether Vivian is just trying to seek acceptance from the other Shadows or if Vivian considers himself a woman as a opposed to a bishonen homosexual.

              Vivian uses male pronouns despite acting feminine.

              あたい (a childish shorthand for あたし) has never ONCE been used as a male pronoun

    why can't they just leave the tomboys and traps alone

      Because tomboys and traps prove that gender ideology is a false theory. If it's possible for anybody to accept themselves as a feminine man or masculine woman, that means it's possible for everyone to accept themselves as they were born.

      The only world "transgender" can exist is one in which a man enjoying feminine hobbies is a clear indication of him being "born with a female brain". If there are any men who do feminine stuff but don't call themselves women, that theory falls apart because it makes it clear that "gender coded hobbies" are a bunch of bull and anybody can enjoy anything without altering their bodies or personas.

        where does it end honestly
        the people who seem to buy into this are the ones that are so disgusted by current societal norms that they jump through hoops to buy into the very same societal norms only inversely related
        instead of 'you are X so you must act like X' it's now 'you act like Y so you must be Y'
        like shit i grew up with sisters and no brothers so i ended up doing a lot of girly things when i was a boy but hell im still a guy
        and if that were to happen these years later i'd have people saying that i was actually a girl all along or some shit

        I don't get it. I just don't get it. I don't get why you would want to change the perspective of biological sex by gender roles. If a girl acts masculine, we get a tomboy, and that's that. That's the end of that. I don't understand the harm AT ALL in calling her a woman still. And there's even the more moronic concept of non-binary, like what is that? What is the point? No matter what you do, you're going to fall on the spectrum of either being masculine or feminine. If you somehow manage androgyny, lo and behold, you fooled yourself into the more feminine side of the spectrum.

          For the girls a lot of them struggle with the pressure of feminimity. They think they can stop being compared to other girls if they pretend to not be girls. Feeling not pretty enough and always comparing yourself to others is rough, I know that first hand.

          For the guys it's mostly internalized homophobia. They're afraid of being called gays for liking things society has deemed homosexual, so they try to make excuses for it. They've been tricked into thinking that society will readily accept that men can become women even though it would be way easier to get society to accept that men are allowed to wear makeup and shit.

            trans girls struggle with the pressure of femininity too. if they pass (and yes, a minority do pass), then their lives obviously become a lot better. then again, regardless of whether they pass or not, they'll always compare themselves to others, other trans girls and cis girls.

              Self acceptance is a long and tough battle no matter who you are, and there aren't any shortcuts. Nobody's life has ever been improved by adopting a fake identity to hide from society's stigmas, and claiming that long hair and makeup turns a man into a woman is just a roundabout way of agreeing with the idea that men aren't allowed to have long hair or wear makeup. You're not happy with the mold that society forces men into, so you're trying to force yourself into the mold society made up for women. Either way, you're rigidly conforming to something that can only make you miserable, because both of them are inherently at odds with your true self as an individual. Not only will you end up destroying your body by going down this path, but you're also harming everybody else who doesn't live up to society's outdated stereotypes. The depression you felt from falling short of societal notions of manhood will pale in comparison to the depression you feel when you fully realize that you'll never be a woman, and your attempt to reject your true sex just reinforces the stereotypes that made you miserable in the first place and pushes them onto people like me, making our lives that much harder and robbing us of what little social acceptance we currently have. The only way society will ever get better for feminine men and masculine women is if people learn to stand tall and contradict stereotypes directly. To prove to the world that men can be beautiful and elegant, that women can be hairy and strong, that there's no shame in being different and that the solution to damaged self esteem is never to mold ourselves to society's prejudices. What you're doing is the equivalent of attempting to sidestep the need for the civil rights by saying "this is too hard, it would be easier if I just identified as white to escape racism"

                I'll go into the archive and copy it for you so you can dodge the argument again.

                "Gender" is a theory, and it's an entirely unfounded one. Nobody can have a "gender identity" because "gender" as a concept is false and built on bigoted, sexist stereotypes. Propagating those ideas harms people like me and society as a whole while marginalizing its most vulnerable members, nobody has the right to "identify" as a sex or race that isn't their own. A man claiming to be a woman because he wears makeup is just as harmful and offensive as an American claiming to be Japanese because he watches anime, or a white person claiming to "racially identify" as black because he listens to rap. It's only possible to tear down racist and sexist stereotypes by contradicting them directly. When you attempt to sidestep them, you just "other" yourself and prove them right. The moment a person says "I'm a man but I wear makeup and have long hair, so I'm transgender" he's implicitly agreeing with the idea that men can't have long hair or wear makeup. It reinforces those stereotypes onto people like me and forces us to fight twice as hard against the stigmas that society has placed on us. The world only becomes a better place for LGB and gender non-conforming people when we instead collectively say "I am a man and I like having long hair and wearing makeup, and that's okay because men are allowed to do those things too".

                I want to address the misconception that gender is merely a theory and an unfounded one at that. It's important to recognize that gender is a complex and deeply ingrained aspect of human identity. Dismissing it as a false concept based on stereotypes oversimplifies a nuanced and multifaceted issue.

                It's crucial to understand that gender is not solely a product of societal stereotypes. It encompasses a profound sense of self that many people experience. This sense of identity is supported by scientific research and is recognized by experts in psychology and sociology. Gender identity goes beyond outward appearances; it's about how individuals perceive and understand themselves.

                Furthermore, the idea that propagating these concepts harms society is unfounded. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Recognizing and respecting people's gender identities leads to a more inclusive and compassionate society. Marginalizing transgender individuals, who are among the most vulnerable members of our society, only perpetuates discrimination and suffering.

                Comparing gender identity to falsely claiming a different race or nationality based on stereotypes is a false analogy. Gender identity is about one's sense of self, while race and nationality are not the same as gender. Equating them does a disservice to the complexities of both gender and racial identity.

                We should strive for empathy, understanding, and acceptance. Respecting people's gender identities is not about political correctness but about treating others with dignity and respect. It's about acknowledging the diverse experiences of transgender individuals, many of whom do not conform to stereotypes.

                No it's not. It's a perfect analogy. Separating "gender" and "sex" would be no different from me separating "race" from "ethicnicity" and forming a new ideology that says people can have an ethnic identity that doesn't match their race.

                While there are some surface level similarities, they're not quite equivalent.
                Sex is biological, gender is social (it's a bit more complicated than that, but it should be good enough for me to make my point).

                With your equivalence, race should also be biological, but it is not. Race is social construct based on shared cultural and historical experiences. Ethnicity is also cultural, based on language and heritage.

                >We should strive for empathy, understanding, and acceptance
                Start by abolishing gender ideology then and helping people realize that they weren't "born wrong" for liking the wrong hobbies for their sex.

                The thing you called "gender" is actually called a stereotype. They're not identities and they aren't noble. There's nothing good about them. They're actually offensive simple minded caricatures that hurt people. There is no such thing as gender. Gender ideology is conversion therapy. You're just trying to codify and enforce sets of behavior as "masculine" and "feminine" so you can force people to obey them. Feminine men are allowed to exist. They aren't women. And masculine women are not men. Why are you trying to elevate and reinforce something that only exists to hurt people? Stereotypes are not meant to be worshiped. In reality all we have is biological sex, and either sex can act and dress any way they please. That's what a free world looks like. A free world has no place for your homophobic and sexist "gender" garbage.

                The entire notion of "transgender" is inherently bigoted, it's rooted in homophobia and sexism. There is no such thing as a man who expresses himself "as a woman". A man who wears makeup is expressing himself in one of the many ways that men can, and by insisting that he's a woman, or even by allowing him to insist that he's a woman, you're actively reducing the number of ways men are allowed to express themselves. You're saying "no, men aren't allowed to be beautiful or wear makeup. they have to become women if they want to do that". You're saying "no, girls aren't allowed to cut their hair short or play sports. they have to become men if they want to do that". Enforced conformity is all it is. It's no different from an oppressive traditionalist purity spiral. If you actually cared about these people you would want them to love and accept their bodies and their actual, true selves. They aren't transgender. Nobody is. There's no such thing as "transgender". They're just afraid of society bludgeoning them to force them to get back in line. So instead of changing their behavior to be more socially acceptable for men, they think they can change their bodies to be more socially acceptable for their behavior. Do you not see how that's the same problem either way? People need to stand up and say "men can wear makeup and women can have hairy legs and it's not taboo". They should never, EVER give in to the society's bigoted demands by changing their bodies to look more like the opposite sex, which never works by the way and always results in monstrosities. If you don't see why actual LGB people are against transgender ideology you're either a bad faith bigot or you have zero empathy.

The moment you try to add social and learned elements to a definition that is meant to be biological, you're now officially telling men and women how they need to act and dress.

They would feel comfortable as themselves knowing that it's okay to break out of sexist gender stereotypes. They would be ordinary tomboys and femboys, and the world would be a better and more accepting place as a result. Instead they'd rather tell people that they were "born wrong" and that they need to "change" so that their "gender" matches their sex. It's typical religious cult garbage. Trannies and their supporters are hurting everyone and holding the entire world hostage and they can't even admit it.

                Not only is everything you said a lie, but it's intensely bigoted and homophobic. I'm a gay man with many "feminine" qualities. I'm comfortable with them. That doesn't make me a woman, that doesn't mean I want to be a woman, that doesn't make me transgender. You are taking the possibility for me to simply be comfortable with myself as a feminine man off of the table. And you're doing the same to masculine women as well. You are a homophobic bigot and everything you believe in actively kills and maims people like me. Gender ideology is conversion therapy.

      I'm super glad PM64 wasn't the one remade. I feel like they would've completely fricked up the art style in that entry. PM64 is the most different looking game and they probably would've tried unifying it when the game leans heavily into having a look akin to Yoshi's Island especially with those wonderful backgrounds the game had. The only thing I'd really want from an updated PM64 is widescreen and a shortcut pipe from Peach's Castle back to Toad Town like the romhacks do.

    >Vivian's Partner Description:
    >カゲ三人組の一人だった
    >オンナのコのようで ホントは オトコのコ
    Straight up literally says "o-to-ko-no-ko" in katakana/hiragana at the end there.
    The line is full on "He may look like a girl, but he's actually a boy."

    >Goombella's Tattle on Vivian:
    >『ビビアン』よ
    >カゲ三人組の一人で いちばん下の妹
    >・・・じゃなくて 弟ね
    First she says sister, then she switches and says brother after a pause.

    >The important part during their intro:

    >Beldam: カゲ三姉妹っ!?

    >なに いってんだよ あんた!
    >カゲ三人組だろ! 三人組!!
    >どこが 三姉妹だよ!

    Vivian says 3 shimai (sisters) to end their call of "were the three shadow ____" and Beldam gets pissed and insists it should be 3 hitogumi (group of people, with the three before it it'd translate as trio).
    She insists they can't be sisters because Vivian is a man, with "otoko" highlighted in red text.

      It just says that Vivan has a dick/balls, which nobody is disputing. it doesn't say if Vivvan likes being a boy/admits that, which would make them a femboy, or if Vivan likes being seen as a girl, which would make them trans.

      That's the question which would need to be answered but very few people in the thread are actually talking about that because you morons are more concerned about b***hing then anything else.

        A character being a troony isn't even on the table unless it's said explicitly. So it's not ambiguous at all. All crossdressers are just crossdressers and all tomboys are just tomboys. You trying to inject incertainty into this is like if I said "well we never got confirmation that luigi ISN'T a pedophile, so you never know". Just frick off with that dishonest crap, you know it's wrong and I know it's wrong.

          You're the one being a dishonest moron.

          I could not give less of a shit about gender crap, but you're absolutely as annoying as twitter SJWs who try to claim everything is actually trans.

          Is the talking Armadillo in Naruto who insists it's a girl, refuses to be grouped in with the boys, wears lipstick and makeup, and gets mad when its called a boy but has a dick and other people laugh about it being a boy "not trans" just because Kishimoto doesn't literally use the word transgender?

          What is "trans" if not "actually a boy that calls and identifies themselves and presents themselves as a girl"? In contrast to crossdressers/femboys, which are "boys that dresses/looks like a girl but still identifies as a boy"?

          What about "Is a boy but looks like a girl" is fricking trans? What?

            So fricking transparent, Ganker says trannies are men because they were born men, vivian's text says they were born a boy and from that specific line of dialogue it says nothing about them wanting to be a girl, so they're saying they're just a boy who dresses like a girl, it's completely consistent you're just seething

              I get what you're saying but it's a bit more complex than that. Say a guy finds feminine beauty attractive. This is naturally associated with women, and so a conventionally attractive woman would be what gets his dick hard. Now he sees what he perceives as a conventionally attractive woman, but it is actually a man. Aside from the possibility that knowing it's a man may cause his dick to become flaccid on it's own, it doesn't make him gay. But that's the agenda at play here, to make men question their sexuality while pandering to women who, narcissists as many are, enjoy feminine beauty in men.

              But then I guess I'm lucky that Vivian never made my dick twitch.

                If the realization that it's a man makes the dude flaccid, that's perfectly fine.
                And if it doesn't, that's also perfectly fine.
                You shouldn't feel the need to "question" your sexuality. Just embrace what it is. The label is ultimately meaningless outside of the law (as in with things like bestiality or pedophilia, but even there you can just be a freak and jack it to fantasies all you want so long as you never act on them).

                I'm not denying that the shadow man makes my dingaling go boowomp, I'm choosing to not enable those thoughts, as they'll lead to chasing that specific fantasy more, degeneracy is a slippery slope that'll lead you down to depraved places that i don't want to go back to.

                You only slide down it cause you find degeneracy to be a problem. If you just worked with it instead you'd be able to find the right balance without putting in mental stress to not "fall".

                I think the issue is that society is intentionally trying to invoke this by parading around male characters who are far more feminized than the average man would ever be, again for the sake of their agenda. This is why a guy might be more wary of that now. It's kinda similar to how we get ugly women everywhere to lower beauty standards, which has definitely worked.

                degeneracy is a problem in the same sense that alcohol is a problem, indulging in a little bit here an there is alright, fine, might even make you feel better. but too much will always hurt you, so either you set boundaries or you let it control your life.

          Not him but this is currently an agenda of the West. This is why you see so many males are hyper-effeminate fuqbois and one part of why females are ugly shemales.

    5. Epilogue

    これからは 姉妹(?)3人で なかよく くらしていくでしょう

    From now on, the three sisters(?) will live peacefully.

    >Notice the question mark in the dialogue box after Goombella calls the Shadow Trio "sisters". Even in the epilogue the game makes a joke about Vivian's gender, like they did at the very beginning. As you can expect, this was removed in all localizations

    Sorry, sweeties, but Japan has already supported transfolks and non-binary people. The concept of non-binary has existed for hundreds of years, so you can't say that it's made up.

            Mario wouldn't be the type to be a cheater. He'd straight up tell Peach he has a gf/wife now. Would still save Peach since he's a hero.
