Just starting watching this

just wanted to to say, best boy 2016

...

I don't feel like having this thread again.

>implying

Pidge is biologically female but identifies as male. So he's still a he regardless of whether people are equipped to deal with it or not.

Though it is fun to see how many trolls are triggered by the presence of trans positive characters like Pidge.

>Pidge is biologically female but identifies as male

.........no

>.........no

see>So he's still a he regardless of whether people are equipped to deal with it or not.

Equip yourself or get left behind, user.

Genderbending is clearly a big deal and entirely unprecedented in animation. I think this issue should be thoroughly politicized and bitterly debated.

...

I just finished watching the show today. Man that was awesome. Maybe action cartoons will finally make a comeback.
I want to hold Pidge's sweaty hand
Did you watch the show? Like at all?

>Pidge is biologically female but identifies as male.
i know that's bait, but I'm still going to point out that's wrong.

she's only a boy because the staff of the academy know who she is after she broke in to find records of her family.
and she had to look as different as possible to get back in as a student.

and then when she does reveal herself, there's only like, one character who didn't already figure that out. And from there, she pretty much just doesn't give a shit because her gender isn't important beyond that point

i know this is bait. its as obvious as day, but i cant help myself.

she said she was a girl. thats why she couldnt man up. you did see that part right?

I must compliment your baitcraft. You managed to not only create a cringe-worthy statement that is guaranteed replies, but also included language that demonizes anyone who replies simply for daring to disagree with said statement.

Now sit back and watch the action.

Brilliant.

All this shitposting about Pidge makes me more and more certian that Mulan would be hated on Sup Forums if it came out now.

So what's with all the race-changing and trans stuff? Like, characters are black now, too?

well they were japanese before

Fuckin tranny characters. Why are they being forced into so many cartoons these days? (Adventure Time, Gumball, SU, now this)

Transgingers make up less than .1% of the population. If anything they're being over represented.

Pidge is not a tranny and straight up says she is female. She was only pretending to be a boy to complete her objective, like Mulan.

Wow like three or four characters out of billions and billions and billions of all collective fictional characters in existence.

Such overrepresentation.

Is shitposting, Pidge repeatedly refers to herself as a girl post-reveal.

Voltron is based on anime, and there's lots of trans/cross-dressing characters in anime. What's the problem?

The original Go-Lion is anime.

This Voltron show is written by white people and drawn by Koreans. It is not anime.

And anyway, Pidge being trans is the stupidest fuckin idea I've ever heard.

Show dropped.

I honestly can't think of a single trans anime character. They do have a shit ton of cross dressers though.

whos trans on gumball and adevnture time?

Trap != Trans

>I honestly can't think of a single trans anime character.

Birdie the Mighty

>literal woman trapped in a boy's body

>whos trans on gumball and adevnture time?

I dunno about Gumball, but Bemo is established as trans on AT.

>Birdie the Mighty

>literal woman trapped in a boy's body

isnt it the other way around? and besides, those are two separate characters, so not trans

Pidge being trans is whatever. I thought he was a girl when I was a kid anyway.

But why the fuck has Sven been racebent into an Asian guy named "Shiro"? Is this a "muh diversity" thing?

Are you dumb? She isn't trans. She even refers to herself as a girl. it wasn't a trans reveal it was more like a samus being a girl reveal.

But so fucking what even if she were trans. If that is enough to ruin a show you are genuinly a shallow person, and most likely a shitty human being. No, not because you hate trans or whatever, but because you sound like a spoiled baby.

wouldnt beemo have to either been male or female for that to be?

Actually the kid is in Birdy's body because he almost dies, and it's two separate people, so no.

Ranma 1/2

Beemo is "gender fluid". I honestly don't know if that makes "xir" trans or not. Beemo changes genders between episodes.

>Transgingers make up less than .1% of the population.

Do you know who also makes up 1% of the population? The military. Does anyone question soldiers appearing in media? No. The argument that "there aren't many!" (which falls apart when you consider how large 1% of the population IS, anyhow - it's a large number by any definition) quickly reveals itself to be "this makes me uncomfortable, don't show it to me!" And, you know what? Fuck your uncomfortable ass.

That's not really the same thing, but I can see your point.

>It's a female disguised as a male trope
>Suddenly the character is trans

It's Phoenix Wright all over again.

because svens dumbass accent was dated when that shit came out. im glad they kept him as his golionn counterpart

>random trans character

Uuuuuggggggggghhhhhhhhhh

Never mind, Voltron. I'll wait for the next reboot.

>Pidge being trans is the stupidest fuckin idea I've ever heard.
Good thing she isn't

Those don't really count, those are just magical accidents where a cis-person is thrown into a new body. When people talk about "trans" they usually mean people who were BORN into the wrong body.

>they usually mean people who were BORN into the wrong body.
No we mean people who suffer from mental illness. Which it is, your brain is fucked up and saying you are the gender you are not

its not trans anything. a girl masquerades as a boy then reveals herself as a girl. thats it

Bridget from Guilty Gear.

>back story is born male, raised to be female, identifies as female but is biologically male

Try to argue that isn't a trans character, faggots.

I think it's more people make a choice to change themselves later. There's no right or wrong for what you're born as.

>Pidge is trans!
>No he isn't!

This is going to be every Voltron thread for the rest of eternity now, isn't it?

I didn't say it's anime.

Well, it may be difficult to establish the distinction between the two and I don't think anime is very particular about it.

Aoi from You're Under Arrest and Rukako from Steins;Gate are some trans characters that immediately come to mind.

I'm sorry I thought people were asking about anime characters not for an argument on semantics so you could proselytize us.

I thought Bridget identified as a boy and constantly tried to prove he's a man and that's why he always hung around that buff bounty hunter guy.

...

Can't wait until Pidgeposting becomes a regular thing.

jesus fug, how do i get rid of you Sup Forumsmblr fools?!? how?!?!?

>Pidge
>Boy

Yeah, this is gonna plague Voltron threads for a LOOOOONG time, isn't it? and more with people who don't see the FUCKING SHOW.

Pidge is not a transgender, she's a transSEXUAL.

Pidge was male in all previous continuities. He was turned female for this continuity. Pidge biologically went from a he to a she.

Pidge is transsexual.

>Rukako from Steins;Gate

That's like saying you're transsexual because there's another universe where you're a girl.

Completely forgot about this anime; was enjoying it. What the fuck was it called again? Strange Punch?

If they're different continuities then how does it make her trans?

Pidge is a cisgender girl in this one.

Punch Line.

Thanks senpai.

Can't we a "Pidge is best girl" thread without having to go through a gender discussion?

Not anymore Gutsy-boy.

I'm not sure if you actually read the OP but this is clearly a "Pidge is best boy" thread.

>563 KB PNGCan't we a "Pidge is best girl" thread without having to go through a gender discussion?

Pidge's gender isn't up for discussion. Gender is fluid. If he identifies as a boy then he's a boy. Period.

WHY ARE YOU SO FUCKING BAD AT REPLYING TO POSTS IS IT THAT FUCKING HARD TO CLICK ON A NUMBER

Wandering Son has two.

...

...

Oh yeah, that's a good example.

>english dub of the anime
>beautiful, majestic
>and a dude

That side character in Kamisama no Memochou who got stabbed in the uterus and decided to become a man because she couldn't have kids anymore.

Oi!

At least one person in this thread has made their peace with trans-Pidge.

Until people find more creative forms of bait at least

I remember this short manga series of a tranny in high school and it was really sweet, it was a mostly gag comedy but there was one shy girl the MC helped out and a big fat teacher who keeps injuring herself comically whenever she tries to catch MC doing shenanigans and it ended on a beach issue with MC meeting a famous tranny that helped lift her spirits.

It was really cute but fuck me if I can remember the name of it I remember nearly everything but the name.

>Until people find more creative forms of bait at least

Or until faggots like you stop taking the bait.

I WONDER WHICH WILL HAPPEN FIRST!?

Pidge was born a girl?

Everyone knows girls make the best boys.

Yes. And pic related was best girl 2013.

Obviously.

This is Sup Forumsmblr, what the fuck do you think? Retarded faggots will try to stick their mental illness on any character they can so as they can delude themselves into thinking they're "normal" and "accepted.

kek

Sup Forums go home.

Pidge was born a girl, is a girl, remained a girl, identifies as a girl, think of herself as a girl, is and will continue to stay biologically female. On all planes, INCLUDING physical, she is a girl.

She dressed as a boy to infiltrate a space cadet training facility unnoticed to steal info about what really happened to her father and brother during their space mission, and now every tumblrina is going TRAAAAAAAAAAAAANS TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANS TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAANS like the mentally ill faggots they are.

>this entire thread

This

Hourou Musuko? Claudine?

>and now every tumblrina is going TRAAAAAAAAAAAAANS TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANS TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAANS like the mentally ill faggots they are.

Wow it sure is a shame that's not the case here then cause basing in the Voltron tags on that site, they've been relatively chill about it in comparison to the shitposters here as well as the people who take the bait blindly like you. :^)

Pidge isn't trans, but she is a "trans" character done right. If she was actually trans in a show that had zero to do with gender or the exploration of sexuality or anything of that nature, it would cast a shadow over the entire rest of the show and color reduce the sum of its parts.

Instead, they drew a boy and called him a girl. She had her "fear of being discovered" and "coming out" scenes without making them the central point of any extended conflict within the group. LGBT people have someone to project on to, and the straight majority watching the show don't have lessons in tolerance and pronouns shoved down their throats.

Cross-dressing/trans characters often appear in anime without any explanation or discernible reason.

No, it was just like, a five or six issue manga that was really very silly with running gags and stuff.

>Sup Forums being irrationally hateful toward trans and trans characters

Not surprised. You're Sup Forums tier.

What trans character?

>but she is a "trans" character done right.
No, that's still wrong. Crossdressing has nothing to do with the transgendered lifestyle.

All she did was dress as a boy in order to gain access to classified information on the whereabouts of her family. Not because she feels like a boy deep down inside or some moronic shit like that. It's a disguise. A disguise she kept because she didn't trust the other Palladins.

There is nothing else to be gleaned or interpreted from this.

Read the sentences before and after that one.

You're ignorant.

Pidge isn't trans. She's just a liar.

>sentences before
Sentences before the first sentence? Just shut up.

>even if she were trans

Transphobic much?

Leave Sup Forums?
