Scrublord Guilty Gear Strive Player Spreads Misinformation About Bridget’s Gender

“A bunch of the replies to this are already going ‘MAKE AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT!’ They did, you fucking morons. It’s in the game,” JohnXaudou said in a reply to their original tweet. “You can go play it right now. Bridget’s arcade mode and the fucking character encyclopedia both state Bridget is a girl. You are dumb.”

Arc System Works’ tweet about the impersonator is littered with replies asking the company to make an “official” statement on Bridget’s gender history, despite the hard evidence the newly updated Guilty Gear Strive single-player mode has already given on the matter. Seeing as how Bridget’s outfit, official bio, and voice lines reaffirm that, yes, Bridget does in fact now identify as a girl, I think the folks online asking for Arc System Works to make an official statement on her gender are coping something fierce. In the words of Michael Jordan: “Stop it. Get some help.”
