/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Gender change isnt that obvious as racial change.

What is folklore invented years later?

Also, pic related.

Historical figures were actually seen by very few of the people who wrote about them. Remember that automobiles and air planes, along with twitter ('KENSHIN HAVIN FRIED DOG @ MEATSHACK CUM LOOK') did not exist then, so high-fame people were only encountered by a few.

Asian males and females are near impossible to tell apart to begin with, let alone Japanese ones.

That image is a bad example. The left's face is clearly female and right's face is clearly male. I know what you mean though.

>This bugs me, how could nobody not notice one of the most powerful warlords in sengoku jidai was a woman?

Japanese culture is weird. It turns out Musashi was a homosexual too.

Not seen by many people, probably covered his (her) face, could have been a manly looking girl, physically built since he was fighting, maybe someone knew but they didn't care etc.

There's nothing unusual about homosexuality in primitive warlike societies. Everyone knows about Greece and Rome but homosexuality was ubiquitous in all belligerent pagan European societies, especially the Vikings. What's unusual is that nobody noticed Kenshin was a woman.

What in the FUCK does this have to do with otaku culture?

Please don't use the N word, it's a very hurtful term.

>>10529616
Historical figures previously thought of as males are certainly /jp/ related. Compare: King Arthur, Prince Shoutoku.

To put it bluntly, not possible.

I like the idea of reverse trap famous leaders and all, but it's just fantasy.

So Sengoku Rance has it correct?

get on my level.

>>10529509
Just because a human being may have been born with a cunt doesn't make him a woman. YOU ARE INSULTING HIS JAPAN SPIRIT.

>Hey battle bro, mind if I see your cock?

>>10529616
Transvestism.

Pretty much >>10529574. We'll probably never know unless they dig up Kenshin's body and test the DNA or something. Maybe clone her into some kind of school girl.

Genderswapping important figures/titles was done everywhere I’m pretty sure. I mean there were even myths about female popes.

>>10529753
>myths

…

>>10529762
OK, tales. Stories. Rural legends.

>>10529732
I would love to see you get approval to dig up Kenshin's body.

>>10529763
She's better attested than Sixtus I

People didn't know FDR was a cripple despite him campaigning in public, and that was pretty recent recent with News networks far more widespread.

In old days few people even got the chance to meet the lord and obviously there was huge pressure to keep secrets hidden from the public eye.

I don't know shit about Japanese history, but in English history a lot of our sources are legendary and made up shit like this.

"He was ten feet tall and he glowed with a holy light and he was a strong as thirty men and also he lost the Battle of Pisswiddle."
It's sometimes hard to tell what's just bullshit, what's hearsay, what's based off something true, and what actually happened.

Alexander the Great was described has having one eye as blue as the sea and one eye as dark as the night or something, so it's likely that was their bullshit poetic fantasy way of saying he had heterochromia.

>>10529834
Man, he totally could have played this to his advantage.

>>10529901
Nowadays maybe. But back then it was a time or turmoil and people wanted a strong leader, and there would certainly discriminate against anyone who is disabled.

>>10529770
>approval

Ha, look at this faggot. Science is all the approval I need.

Kenshin is a girl!

>>10529732
And I'm pretty sure Kenshin's body was hidden, adding to the speculation.

George Washington was a girl too, guys

>>10529509
if I recall correctly, he had monthly "stomach issues" and was able to freely go into an all womens...something or other, I forget what it was, without any issues, right? Plus wasnt he described as sorta beautiful or someshit like that? Its kinda plausible.

>>10529509
no one cares weeb

>>10529509
Merlin disguised Kenshin as a man with his magic. Duh.

Hey, Mulan pulled it off and she was in a position where her gender was more discoverable.

Kenshin being a master strategist and leader doesn't even have to leave her tent often.

>>10529509
Women are mentally incapable of being power warlords so your theory falls on hard facts and science

King Arthur was a girl

>>10532187
This

Kenshin was black

>>10532203
Sorry. That wasn't OP, just me.

>>10529730
That pretty much sums up the modern US Marine Corps

Average women tend to be quite ugly without make up. Sometimes they really do look like men when it comes to that.

ITT frustrated weeaboo.

I didn't know we were still Japan/General. Oh wait.

>>10529732
You can test dust?

>>10533304
I don't see a frustrated weeaboo

are you projecting, lmao?

>>10529753
Didn't you get the memo?
Genderswapping makes everything better.

>>10533304
You're the only one bro.

>>10529646
Shut the fuck up, you stupid little nigger.

>>10533806
Why do black people come to /jp/ knowing we hate multicultralism in Japan, hate interracial marriges, and are nazi?

>>10533822
Huh? I just hate niggers. No need to make this all complicated.

>>10529509

>>10529646
shut up nigger
