Whenever a game involved violence and a woman, the game company could simply claim it was a boy and skirt that type of criticism.

Before anyone posts Poison: reminder that Poison was originally designed as a woman (a DNA XX woman), confirmed by both designers from Capcom, Nishitani and Akiman.
You can technically think of the US version of Poison as a transexual, but the original japanese Poison is 100% DNA XX.

Because that pic comes from a Capcom artbook that provides no date for said sketch drawing. They could have easily added "newhalf" some time later when they decided to do the change for the western version.
>Though I think the actual creator said he envisioned her as a woman
Not 1 of them, both of them did. The other pic is from Nishitani's legit twitter account, and pic related is from a SF vs Tekken art book, has an officially printed comment by Akiman, the other designer of the original Final Fight and direct creator of Poison.
>but she's whatever you want her to be.
Of course, at the end of the day she's a 2D girl. Any porn artist can make futa porn so basically any female character can have a dick.
In the case of Poison, I'd go with what akiman says: JP Poison is female, US Poison is trans. But the whole reason of why they made Poison a trans is more comical than anything. I personally don't have anything against trans people, but to me it seems obvious Poison was meant to be a rebel punk girl and nothing else.

Why in God's name would they do that? Why would they add ニューハーフ to concept art just because of a change in America? They wouldn't care. Back then localizers and dev teams had little to no contact, so it wouldn't surprise me if the devs didn't even know right away.

You are grossly incorrect. Back then, the japanese teams would also take charge of the english localization, maybe with some assistance from 1 american guy or whatever. That's why retro games are plagued by engrish, most of them were just the japanese devs themselves doing their best at english, without even any native speaker to correct them.
Regardless of if ニューハーフ was added at one point after or not, the most important thing remains: that sketch has no date. That's probably not the very first Poison drawing.
One dateless sketch drawing doesn't contradict what Nishitani explained, and Akiman's "I consider JP Poison to be a woman" only confirms it. If you want Poison to be a trans, that's fine, but it's evidently not the original designers' original idea, and the reason why she was changed in the west has little to do with her as a character, or nothing, really.

Not really. I know a fair amount about the video game localization industry due to a mixture of having in interest in it for years and working in it. In the 80s and 90s, when a game was done, the team members would be sent any which way and it wasn't as easy to talk to everyone. The localizers were usually given folders of information and whatnot and maybe one guy to talk to. Ted Woolsey was given about 80 images for FF VI and that was about it. It took two weeks for his assistants to cobble together a way to actually test the localization. The woman who translated MGS2 was barely given anything. Nowadays dev teams and localizers are basically partners in any decent company.

>Back then, the japanese teams would also take charge of the english localization, maybe with some assistance from 1 american guy or whatever

They just hired someone, often a Japanese guy, to do the translation.

It's not "modern revisionism", it's the original designer giving insight on WHY she became a newhalf. The other designer also supported this by saying that he considers JP Poison to be an actual woman.

LMAO what? Akiman on the SFxTekken book outright says he considers US Poison to be trans, but JP Poison (the original) to be a woman.
Why would Capcom bury the past? Poison is generally depicted as a trans now, the little known fact is WHY did Poison become a trans, since she was originally conceived as a real woman.
>believing twitter posts is stupid.
The platform where Nishitani posted his message could have been anything: Ameba, Mixi, Twitter, Facebook. What matters it's that it's legit Nishitani who wrote it.
Why are you so adamantly against the fact that BOTH Poison creators shed some light on the matter? You just WANT Poison to have always been trans? Not the case, sorry. Content yourself with the fact the US Poison is trans at least.

You can be a tranny and still keep your penis. Many of them either only go as far as getting facial surgery, take HRT, or were already feminine to begin with.

To be fair, it's 2D and people give traps exaggerated hips that probably even HRT and squats wouldn't create in real life. And her thighs to me always seem to come from squats and constant fighting rather than being inherently endowed with them. A lot of Capcom women have an appearance of some sort of muscular build in sprites/models due to being from fighting games, though combining this with Lilith's short hair and flat chest always personally made her come off as androgynous more than what she was eventually intended to be. More tomboyish than the Lolita she acts like.
>I don't think she was actually meant to be a boy per se, but a hermaphrodite sort of person.
I looked it up to make sure right now and it turns out that it was essentially both, they weren't sure on making her male or a hermaphrodite before eventually deciding on female.

It's not that crazy if you think about it. Porn is great because you can get lost in the fantasy. Real life is often hilariously mundane. An example is I get off to dom/sub porn but I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face if I were to actually try to engage in it with another person. It'd come off as too silly and impossible to take seriously.

That reminds me... I thought I'd beat my dick raw for the rest of my life if I ever came across some nude pictures of real-life acquaintances. When this actually happened with a crush of mine, finding some lewds of her by accident by borrowing an external drive, what was supposed to be triumphant was actually pretty underwhelming, man are normal people painfully below average.
Porn sells this unattainable fantasy for most of the population, unless you're dating models or olympic tier athletes, or even better, paying for some top tier prostitute, you're probably never getting a third of what porn depicts. This goes for trannies too, I have never ever met one IRL that tricked my dong into ATTRACTIVE FEMALE CLOSE BY mode, and yet I find it to be a pretty good tag on doujins.

>> No.7026105

>>7026038
It's not that porn stars or even movie stars are THAT much more naturally attractive. It's that you don't see all the behind the scenes work that goes into making them come across that way. Forget makeup artists, even basic lighting techniques and cinematography changes everything. It's why strip clubs aren't lit like a gymnasium. Strippers don't just stand there and undress because someone standing naked at attention, no matter how naturally hot, is kind of silly looking. Hell, one reason even "full nude" strippers never go barefoot is because heels put stress on their calf muscles which make their legs look better. All this shit matters to maintain the fantasy.

Real life attraction is a complex beast. The people who try to transfer their porn preferences onto a real person are always disappointed because there's always going to be something that just isn't right and ruins the mood. Being around someone when you're not actively having sex means engaging with all their quirks and nuances. That theoretical attraction you have to a "dick girl" in a hentai suddenly evaporates when you're on a date with an actual trans woman and her voice sounds a bit off, or the shape of her hands catches your attention, or just the overall sense that you're attracted to the idea of something more than you're attracted to the human in front of you. And the inverse also applies. You might be bonkers in love with your girlfriend or wife and fap endlessly to BDSM but the second this woman, who you've spent countless "normal" time with, starts spanking your ass with a paddle and talking dirty in your bedroom, it can be hard to not crack up at the absurdity of it. You don't have directors and gaffers and writers to set this all up. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying spicing up your love life is pointless. Definitely give it a shot if you think you might have fun with it and it could be great. But you can't expect the porn/real life dynamic to be interchangeable.
