this is like sleeping in bed with a snake then complain when that snake suddenly bites you. that side just sees people like him as useful idiots to legitimatize their bigotry. he does not pass the family guy skin color meme to truly be one of them

  • Who says she's got a dick? None of your business.

    I admit I just kind of feel bad for Hunter at this point, everyone trying to press-gang her into the culture war now...

    Also, I REALLY doubt that Twitter user "Jap the Baptist" is any kind of sincere or real person, fwiw.

    Idk who this lady is, is she actually trans or is it yet another grifter wielding transphobia as an insult? Cause 1) holy shit what a perfect cast and 2) I think HRT was kind to me, and yet she's so pretty I'm kinda jealous 😭 

    That's Hunter Schafer. And yeah, she is trans.

    And I don't think she ever even came forward wanting to play Zelda. It was kind of a thing fans thrust upon her and now she's getting all this transphobic hate from conservatives. So that's annoying...

    And yeah, she is gorgeous.

    On the plus side, if I were a kid today, conservatives hating on her would probably make me aware of her in the first place, and lemme tell you that this wouldn't go the way they think lmao. If I knew back then that transitioning could be this effective, I'd have started the process the day I turned 18.

    I wish I could show this pic to 14 y.o. egg me who thought transitioning would leave her ugly at best because all she ever knew back then was transphobe propaganda, that would've saved me literal years of my life. As hard as the morons pushing they fascists worldview onto us make our lives, there's also more and more positive representation available. ❤️

    Punk is being kind now. Fuck these small minded bastards.

    I don’t remember a time when actual punks tried to be unkind

    "Maybe kindness is the real punk rock"

    Superman teaching lessons every day.

    So you're saying that the real punk is the friends we made along the way?

    Tbh punk was always about standing up to bullshit societal norms being kind just comes with that territory

    Punk has always been kind, movies showed a lot of assholes/villains as being punks to push the narrative that they suck so people stop giving the rich people hard times while they ruin the world

    That's a good way to look at it! :)

    Yeah it was a harmless fan cast that went viral. To clarify also, she is not in the movie.

    Yeah, "Bo Bragason" was cast as Zelda.

    Also she looks EXACTLY like twilight princess's zelda

    It is the angle of the photo. The majority of hunter photos they do not look like Zelda.

    I disagree. I think she looks as much like Zelda as pretty much any other pretty white woman who I've ever seen suggested.

    That is good for you, I don't see it.

    Also, I REALLY doubt that Twitter user "Jap the Baptist" is any kind of sincere or real person, fwiw.

    Absolutely a burner account... doesn't change that he's spouting racist bullshit.

    Also who says Zelda DOESN’T??? She’s a damn magical elf ffs, she could have 8 tentacles and a beak down there for all we know!

    Some pics of Sheik do look like there is something down there...

    I hope it's eight tentacles and seven vaginas...

    The fact that all the Zeldas are female descendants of each other. Not the female. They give birth. Cant do that with a dick

    That's the thing that bothers me most. Trans people are just trying to exist, like the rest of us. It's not their fault that a bunch of idiots have decided to make their private business into some weird hill to die on.

    I hate the way people express obnoxiously like the one in OP and just make her become a hate speech target, of course it isn't as bad as the bigot themselves but as someone said "I have to side with someone annoying against someone I think is dangerous" in this culture war

    Wait until he realises that Henry Cavill isnt from Krypton and he cant fly or shoot lasers from his eyes, he's just something called "an actor"

    Considering Zelda is not really a single character so much as a bunch of members of the same bloodline who share the same name due to an incredibly long-running family tradition, it strikes me as statistically unlikely that no Zelda has ever or will ever have a dick.

    Also has a male-presenting alter-ego in some games.

    I'm pretty sure Hunter had bottom surgery

  • Out of all the dumb transphobic arguments to make, the dumbest one has to be "Zelda canonically has a vag."

    Is there a full penetration sex scene I'm unaware of? Does she ever mention getting her period or having trouble getting pregnant?

    "Biological woman" is a fictional elf. They could have cloacas for all we know.

    Which is 100% relevant to the plot

    The main difference between a male elf and a female elf is that the female elves have bigger penises. Do these people not know their lore????

    Elf have cloacas

    This just flashbanged me to when I was reading a Warhammer Vermintide fic about elves having cloacas.

    Zelda isn’t even human, she’s a Hylian. Who knows what differences they have.

    they got their zelda lore from rule 34

    The futa Zelda r34 ive seen disagrees with their canon

    "A roll meant for biological woman" only to end his truly scientific and totally not feelings based post with "sit your goofy ass down" like he just delivered the ultimate truth nuke. 😂

  • The leopard sure did eat his face...

  • Excuse me, I've been informed repeatedly by TERFS that woman means "adult human female".

    As a hylian, Zelda does not qualify as a woman by that standard, as she is not a human.

    Is she an adult human chicken tho??

    Woah woah Diogenes calm down

  • why are you guys still on that website

    Japanese artists and femboys refuse to migrate to bluesky

    "Here we see a herd of femboys, migrating to bluesky... As you can see, they're moving where the grass is shorter, so they may use their striped thigh highs to confuse their predators,"

    Thanks queen from hit game deltarune

  • God, and here I thought this sub wasn't the main. Why are we doing this HERE?

    Politics, Twitter screenshots, no gaming aside from a vague mention of Zelda.

  • I don't feel bad, and he is going to go right back to tap dancing for masta anyway. I done having sympathy for pick mes

  • Zelda did magic herself into a guy for half of Ocarina of Time. So, for a while, she might have canonically had a dick.

  • Something something leopards munching on my face

  • "Most iconic female character in pop culture history"? What kind of drugs are nintendo fanboys on. It's so fucking "iconic" that most people think Zelda is Link's name

    Zelda’s not even the most iconic female character in Nintendo history.

    Right? Love Zelda, but I could name 10 more iconic female pop culture characters without pausing for breath. 

  • How did he check that zelda didn't have a dick

  • I mean, what can be the worst thing happening to a black dude when he joins the fascist crowd?
    It's not like these would... oh... wait

  • “I am allowed to be mean to people for things they can’t control!!!!”

    people are mean to him for something he cant control

    “Wait no not like that!”

  • "last I checked Zelda didn't have a dick"

    Yeah cause Zelda actually exists, and she actually has a virtual pussy under her polygon dresses. Obviously. Duh.

    Or maybe he just means he had a good wank on R34 ? Cause besides that, I don't see how you could check for Zelda's genitals.

  • Hunter was never even considered for the role, it was nothing more than a fan cast. It's so messed up people have so strong a reaction to her being a fan cast, I feel really bad for her. Yes, she looks ethereal and beautiful and elf like in that photo. No she was never considered because she is too old to play Zelda. It's literally not that deep but transphobea are always gonna be irrational

  • "the erasure of women" these people are just making shit up about what trans supports want

    Also. Last you checked? When in the games did Zelda pull up her dress to show she has a pussy? Only time we see down there is fan works and I've seen some with a fat hog sooo

  • Overwhelming cultural victory btw that bigots keep reffering to cis women as "biological women" considering that it does infact imply that transwomen are women.

    Same goes for them having to frame transphobia through terf ideology (denouncing transphobia due to supposed "misoginy").

    They say woke is dead but they are still using "woke" language and frame their arguments in a way that is meant to capture missguided "woke" people. Woke 2 is real, and its gonna hit really hard.

  • You know, despite this guy being an undeniable asshole, part of me still feels bad about him being called slurs over not liking Evangelion

    His views are shit but being racist is not any better. Was he 'asking for it'? Sure, I can see that. But he still doesn't 'deserve" it, nobody does. If they were just calling him a dumbass that's one thing, but they're just being racist because he doesn't like Child Trauma Show 2000

    Tl:dr I am forced to side with a guy with shitty views because other people with equally shitty views are attacking him unfairly by somehow picking the one part he has that isn't actually problematic

    It's like a thing transgender people go through in a way. Conditional acceptance. "You said a thing or did a thing I don't like? Now I don't respect your right to identity." Except in this case it's the right to not be called racist slurs.

    I don't feel bad for him though mind you, even if I don't think it's ok. Can't help how I feel on that one *shrug*

    The whole point of this post is very wrong to me. Like it’s ok to be bigoted towards someone who’s also a bigot? One form of bigotry is ok and another isn’t? Haha let’s all laugh at the guy for getting racial abuse because he’s also a bad person? Very strange post.

    It's the leopards eating faces thing. Like yeah, shockingly if you align yourself with a group that hates you because you both hate someone else, they're almost assuredly going to turn on you.

    These people are their own worst enemy. You shouldnt give them an ounce of sympathy.

    I don't. play stupid games,win stupid prizes

  • hahaha L-Bozo

  • I don't think we see Zelda bottomless in the games, there's no way to know what she's got down there. Plus the actress pictured here looks like a good choice for Zelda.

  • Sorry, when do they show that Zelda canonically has a vagina? Did I miss a scene where she goes full frontal?

    i'm not even sure if we know that link 'canonically' has a penis, he never hangs dong in any of the games afaik

  • He'd not wrong that Eva is over-glazed. But not because "it's schizo" lol.

    Now I'm a huge Zelda fan, been playing these games my entire life. I'd uh.. I go far enough to say Zelda isn't the most iconic female characet in pop culture history my guy. Not even the most iconic character in gaming. She's up there, for sure, but the most? Now who's overglazing?

    Hunter would have been a good pick because she fucking looks like TP Zelda. Like startingly so. What's she got between her legs got to do with that? What you think there's gonna be full frontal in the fucking Zelda movie? Zelda has literally magically swapped gender presentation in the past my guy and the last Zelda game had Link in drag. Zelda is pretty queer already, so she can be portrayed by a queer woman.

    She would have been a good pick but their probably going for a look more reminiscent of Botw since its so new and successful and all. Also eva is goated.

  • That Grifting Sorry Ass MugenLord!!

  • This guy has some atrocious grammar.

    I'm not usually that guy, but every sentence sounds off, in my head.

  • I wonder if this is going to lead to a future where people start altering their bodies to fit a roll now.

  • Most iconic?

    Zelda?

    Idk, man

  • Eva is the Rick and Morty of anime 

  • We need to go back to Shakespeare times when women weren’t allowed to perform as themselves.

  • It's almost like some nerd spaces don't like black people in them or something 🤔

  • wait till he finds out that theatre groups frequently swap male roles with female roles and vice versa

  • So, just like, another thing. Men, historically, have played women in plays? Very famously, in fact? Like, shakespeare did that?

    And cis people play trans people all the time! Women voice act men! Is this guy mad about that too?

    Or is it maybe, that all those examples are typically are cis people doing it?

    Just say you hate trans people and don't want them to be in movies instead of this fake outrage bs.

  • "casted"... Guy is stupid. He used obsolete words to put across his transphobic rhetoric about a character that 1. Isn't even human and 2. Probably isn't the most popular, important or well known female character in pop culture, and the proof of that is the amount of people who still think Link IS Zelda

  • I knew MugenLord back when he talked about MUGEN characters. Sad to see that he's become this.

  • Peter Pan is typically played by women in stage shows, and that's been a thing the past 80-ish years without complaint. So we can have a trans zelda. As long as they are a good actor, who cares.

  • Last time I checked, what’s between Zelda’s legs has never been showcased in any game ever

  • Motherfucker what is wrong with twitter users? Hunter is just 1/1 zelda irl i wouldn’t be surprised if she (i think? I’m sorry i’m not really good with pronounces correct me if i’m wrong) was a hundred years old and stopped a calamity from destroying the world. And why are twitter users so mad and angry about everything? I bet if i said cancer is bad some mf would disagree.

  • Damn. If you dislike someone's opinions and want to insult them rather than asking why, do it creatively, don't just do racism.

    Don't say "N****r", say "Most lowly of curs, without wit nor heart to comprehend art".

  • I will never understand right-wingers minorities

  • She literally looks like perfect version of zelda.

  • “Zelda doesn’t have a dick.”

    But she could…

  • Fellow guys: raise your hand if you would like to date this gal

    🤚🙋‍♂️🙋

  • I'm tempted to just dump a truckload of futa Zelda art on this guy.

  • I still don't understand Black far-rightists. Like, they ain't gonna let you hit dawg

  • Imagine having nothing going on in your life, no personality, no friends, no partner, and no job, and this is how you preoccupy yourself. There's like 8 different existential crises unfolding and you're worried about a trans person who literally looks like an elf fan-casted as a girl who looks like an elf. They didn't cast Hunter Schaffer so you're not only months too late to the conversation, you're also just a public bigot. That's a great look for you.

  • Ttansfolk are what they transition into

  • You don't know that Zelda doesn't have a dick. And no, you haven't checked.

  • She's a better fit for zelda than a remember her being when this was first posted. I really don't see why genitalia matters in a movie where it won't be shown, it's like complaining they shot a movie set in night time during the day

  • Racism is okay as long someone has a differing opinion from you ig. Redditors don't stand on shit😭🥀🥀🥀

  • Oh please if this dumbass didn't know she was trans they couldn't tell. Also we aren't going to see Zelda naked this is a property for KIDS after all so it doesn't even matter if she does have a dick (which i doubt Hunter does)

  • Like who cares if an actor is trans or not? I would understand some outrage if the first movie adaptation of zelda would start with changing a lot of source material (like witcher unfortunately). But if they cast trans women as (oh god forbid) women? Yeah some people are just angry because they taught themselves that. Its not like it matters what she has between legs, its not p@rn...

  • I wish I have so much free time to spin shitstorms about a casting for an elf or something like that from an adaptation of a Japanese video game created in the 80s.

    But since I am here already, I don’t know who the person on the left is, but they seem like a 100% fit for a grown-up/late-teen Zelda.

  • I think the racial insults about him not liking evangelion are uncalled for. He should be insulted for his take on Zelda (Hunter? Idk the actress but trans or not trans, shouldn't the goal be to make the live action as similar to the animation as possible?)

  • Oh this is fun. He thought being transphobic would get him a seat at the table meanwhile the same transphobic fanbase is unsurprisingly racist.

  • It’s cast, dammit!

  • "Evangelion is unfathomably deep, people that don't like it are just dumb" 🤝 "Evangelion is 100% pseudo-intellectual dogshit with no depth"

    (Having dogshit taste in life in general)

  • "Last I checked"

    Pardon??

  • I don't like evangelion either but I actually like the plot, I just hate the mech design and I hate it set up un-mechanically designed mechs as cool for people who do not actually get mechanical designs roots. Like the recent Gquuuuux to me has pretty trash mechs so far from being mechanically designed I wouldn't call em mechs. That's a me problem though, so many of my friends like evangelion and I've never found it hard to engage with them about likes and dislikes in the anime. No insults, nothing. Almost like you can have a level headed discussion with people when you admit it's all taste and there's nothing to be angry about.

  • "Last I checked, Zelda didn't have a dick"

    Last you checked????????? My brother in Christ what Zelda game were you playing?????

  • Reminder that the reason evangelian is filled with religious imagery is just cause the writer throught it looked cool

  • He is still playing a girl from what I understand. And if sheik is in the game... It even fits.

    Imo this is better than casting someone that doesn't look like the character. I just want adaptations to look like the actual character instead of every cheap cosplay already looking better than a multi million dollar production. I am tired of adaptations casting actors for it's name instead of how well they actually fit the role.

  • bro has never looked up zelda on rule34 and it shows

  • Most iconic character when most fucking people think Zelda is Link.

  • Heh, these are the same people who complained when they tried to cast a Latino for Sado and a black woman for Yoruichi when Bleach returned for the Thousand year Blood War Arc because you SHOULDN'T cast based on race or sex.

    Now suddenly genitals matter I see. Interesting, interesting.

  • Casting a man for a woman role was extremely common in plays during History. Including in Japan History, and Zelda is from a Japanese studio; so...

    Yes, because of… misogyny. Because women weren’t ALLOWED to be on stage. 

    Yup, that's the best part. The same kind of peoples that would have had a mental breakdown about having a woman on stage to perform women roles are now having a mental breakdown about not having a woman on stage to perform women roles.

    You know that if transwomen can play women, transmen can also play men? so the women erasure angle doesnt work no matter how you look at it

  • The first one implies that Zelda is gonna show her genitals on-screen, which I don't think will happen.

  • "I never thought the leopards gonna eat my face"

  • "Most iconic female character in pop-culture history"

    Bro, get out of your nintendungeon, there are more female characters than Zelda, Samus, and Peach. Hell, a lot of people think that "Zelda" is Link 💀

  • "Last i checked" which scene had Zelda nude in Canon?

  • I guess I'm missing some context, is Zelda one of the next games that will get a live-action adaptation, or what is the casting about? However, if that lady is trans or not, she definitely looks a lot like the character! On this picture it looks as if she could be cast for any kind of elven character, including LotR.

  • "last time I checked"

    There is literally no way to check.

  • “Evangelion and I were called all kinds of names and racial slurs” is a funny as fuck typo

  • Fym 'last time I checked'

  • First of all, way fucking far back in Japanese culture Cisgender men actually took roles in theatrical performances as women..

    Oh... but you of course won't see them mention something like this.

    Secondly, Zelda literally magically alters her physical body when she becomes Sheik... so I'm pretty certain as Sheik she was packing a 8 inch cock.

    Also, in addition to the first, I'm pretty certain those individual cis men also engaged in homosexual relationships with high ranking lords and everyone knew they were Cisgender males getting their cheeks clapped.

  • Ok, i am confused. What does even relate hating the trans cast with his opinion about Evangelion?

  • I thought a woman was an "adult *human\* female". So if we don't mind a human playing another species, what's the problem with playing a different gender (by their own wrong definition of gender).

  • I question the claim of most iconic female character in pop culture history

  • See! Not all of them are white!

  • I haven't seen mugen lord in ages

  • One of the racists had a Turkish flag. Beautiful, gotta love my country.

  • So...

    Aluniye instantly calling a black man a N-word just because he doesn't like their favorite anime is okay?

  • Last time I checked... when and why did he check?

  • Aren’t an actor just supposed to… I dunno, act ? You could have any man play as a woman or vice versa it shouldn’t matter if it’s played good, no matter if they are cis, trans or some kind of alien.

    Also how does he know Zelda doesn’t have a penis ? I mean we officially never saw her Hylian genitalia, she could Even have 2 or 3 of them and last time I checked, Zelda was able to change gender through Sheikah transformation.. so his statement is false technically.

  • These pretzels are making me thirsty

  • Last I checked, Zelda didn’t have a dick.

    How the fuck would he know?

  • Ten faces eaten by leopards:

    Nr. 6 will somehow surprise you.

  • This is totally true. The official lore goes out of its way to let us know Zelda is a very cis biological woman with a vagina, who, if ever adapted to television, simply cannot be portrayed by a transwoman. /s

  • NGE has become much less accessible over time, especially with Rebuild acting as effectively replacement canon. No idea what 'schizo' means in this context, but if this guy is into the culture war horseshit, the recent Netflix dub of that series which used a non-binary VA for a Shinji might be his secret motivation to dislike the series.

    Or he just doesn't like the series. I didn't like how Shinji's new VA sounded, and finding out they are non-binary didn't change that. That's ultimately a problem with the dub director, not the VA.

  • "Last I checked, princess Zelda didn't have a dick"

    I doubt Nintendo went to the trouble of modeling any genitalia on her. What did he check?

  • The leopards? Nah, they could never eat my face

  • Last I checked, Zelda didn't have a dick.

    Last he checked? Lmfao what Zelda game is he playing that has full frontal

  • The most iconic female character in pop culture history

  • I mean, he's entitled to not liking Evangelion. I tried watching some of it and quit after like 6 episodes because I couldn't be bothered. People throwing racist remarks over it are legit crazy as fuck.

    His whole take on the Zelda cast is just wild though. I also can think of plenty of more iconic female characters in pop culture history than Zelda lol

  • ... is the racism in the room with us now?

  • What do you mean you checked?

  • So now racism is allowed?

  • He is right though evangelion is over glazed and only deep if u are still in high school with identity issues.

  • Wait shes trans? I saw the photos from set amd just thought nothing off it

    Guys i might be sexually confused now

  • But the leopards would never eat MY face!

  • Didnt watched evangelion still but even that opinion felt stupid( i just dont have mood and time for anime, thats all. I do wanna watch it though)

  • When was he able to check for Zelda's dick???

  • Notice how they always use the older concept art of zelda compared to the newer art of zelda to prove why Hunter Schafer should be cast as zelda.

  • where did he check

    Like

    there's a lot of sources that would disagree with him

  • If you go reactionary enough. You'll end up banning women from participating in Theater and female roles would be played by twinks in wigs.

  • Noticing a trend with all the different bigots and phobes where they say the most radical opinion, disrespecting everyone involved and when it doesn’t go their way they go “it’s just my opinion”

  • Wait... Zelda doesn't have a dick ? What have I been reading then ?

  • Ohhh so its okay to call someone a slur, as long as they don't have the same opinion I do...
    Well if I had known that earlier...

  • Whenever i see the face of that transwoman, i cannot help but remember how insane transactivists were for trying to gaslight people into thinking she is a perfect fit to play Zelda by making fanart of her that looks like Zelda and trying to play it off as official Zelda material

  • It’s never been stated wether Zelda is biologically female hell Zelda is a title passed down through generations not a single character with one look

  • “Last I checked, Zelda doesn’t have a dick”

    I mean… how do they know that? I don’t believe it’s ever been revealed. But also, even if we want to be transphobic and treat transwomen as men, men have been playing the role of women in fiction for centuries. Back in Shakespeare’s time, women weren’t allowed to act, so male actors with feminine features were chosen to play female roles. And it worked quite well.

    In other words, no one should care what an actor’s gender or biological sex is. They’re an actor; their whole job is to be someone else.

  • Sorry i stopped at "the erasure of women"

    Like that's enough of a can of worms to get into on its own.

    There are so many implications to how this person thinks, just off of that.

  • how the fuck you check a fictional character's genitals

  • I must have missed the part in the game where Zelda explicitly tells or shows the player that she doesn't have a dick.

  • She is definitely not the *most iconic female character in pop culture history*.

    I mean just in video games alone Princess Peach would be more iconic. Zelda might be a close second but... theres also Samus from Metroid, Coratana from Halo, etc... Lots of arguments to be made on that claim alone.

  • You're no better if you're racist to a homophobe the best thing to do is point out undeniable things like how he's plain stupid

  • Last time i checked zelda didn't have a vag either🤨

  • I have a very strong feeling he would've gotten those evangelion comments regardless.

  • Where is the complaint here?

  • Why he mad?, he should enjoy racism considering he is such a pro conservative, especially since he is discriminating himself basing on (check notes) looks alone.

  • Okay to be clear. Being a homophobic, transphobic shit, doesnt make racist insults okay. (Because thats just the same low level)

    Just insult him in any other way lol

  • "No soul" is an absolutely wild stereotype to have about black people considering black people invented soul music.

  • i mean, hes right. Other genders shouldn't be casted into roles that were not written for that gender or are culturally known to be a different gender. It's only furthering right wing disgust towards LGBT related issues.

  • "she has a penis!" YOU ARENT GONNA SEE IT WHEN SHES DRESSED AS ZELDA DUMBASS

  • He is right on Evangelion not being good tho

  • so being racist isnt as bad as being transphobic? Q:why bring sex into everything? that stuff should be kept private and if it was then there would be a real reason to be offended and mad at phobic people and their behavior.

  • Also given no Zelda game actually shows Zelda having or not having a dick the only way to judge is via porn which is unofficially and I bet there is a good amount where she has a dick

  • right wing grifter is surprised the right wing he grifts to is right winged

  • Why do queerphobes use the idea of "supporting women" when it comes to justifying their queerphobia, but are the type of people to stan Andrew Tate, Donald Trump, thinks that Feminisim is a disease, and Women don't deserve shit.

  • Honestly if Orlando Bloom was cast as Zelda I wouldn't care
