Koyasu-sensei Hamming it up weather for villany or comedy is always a treat.

what do you mean

@@qawdzsoejojrjgvrgvjrjrdgvjedso okay here are pre-strive examples of guilty gear being queer as fuck: in xx millia’s bounty says she seduces men and women (millia never denys this, she only says that she no longer has a bounty on her) when hit with magnum wedding (xrd) one of millia’s possible lines is “have i chosen the yuri route?” this instant kill doesnt overwrite peoples sexualities as venom strongly refuses. in this very video zappa literally says “boys love” (it was translated as male-love, but same thing) aka yaoi. so many quotes in this video imply bi/pan/homosexuality with how sexually charged a lot of the reactions are (eddie’s orgasm) some of them even feel like gay awakenings(whenever someone says that they’ve never experienced this before)/compulsory heterosexuality(potemkin denying that hes gay. may’s comphet with johnny which like, girl please stop, thats your dad. bridget is right there be her girlfriend). there is so much queer subtext to analyze in this one video is insane. testament was heavily implied to be bi-gender in earlier titles (described as androgynous by daisuke) before ultimately it was decided they should be agender in strive. venom. even if bridget was a crossdresser at first (because of village superstition of having two brothers), she was more comfortable with being a girl so she chose to transition in strive. her old hobby of “trying to become more manly” feels like a gender dysphoria side effect of her trying to conform and erase these trans feelings, but she later realized that this just made her feel worse. if any of these examples felt like jokes, just be aware that these games are old so they werent allowed to express queerness in a genuine, non-joking way in these games. even then most of these examples arent jokes. and, despite fausts outwardly silly nature, he isnt a joke character. all things you can find by looking up story modes or ik reactions.

It's not the queer aspect, it's the "downgrade". No more kancho, no more Instant Kills, less fanservices (design became more modest) The craziness gets somewhat toned down
