I did not know that....

Yeah. I was gutted when I found that out. I thought that that was common knowledge, but I find that people either don't know, or refuse to belive it.

Or.....

They don't give a $hit because it's a fictional character?

It's a hot looking character, nuff said. If it's that gutting you're in luck! Roxy is available!

Perception is a powerful tool. Poison is however you imagine/enjoy Poison to be.

I'll enjoy my Poison with a heaping side of Hugo!

From the newsletter...

"Created with her sister Roxy to be recurring enemies in Final Fight, their design took inspiration from ‘80s hair metal music video vixens. When someone at Capcom pointed out that having Final Fight leads Cody and Guy continuously punching girls in the face might not make the most heroic optics, the well-intentioned decision was made to simply say that the characters were Transgender. After it was explained that violently beating Trans characters was not an acceptable solution either, the designs were dropped entirely and replaced with male punks named Sid and Billy.

Because that fluid gender distinction was so rare in the industry, it clung to her like an urban legend, and although she was never intended to be anything other than female, the proud, provocative Poison became iconic to an under-represented demographic of gamers. Today Capcom’s official stance is that Poison is whatever you want Poison to be."


Poison is a fictional character so "Poison is whatever you want Poison to be".

If you want her to be transgender than she is.

Just read this was getting me worried. Love the character but if there's unexplained reasons about her this makes me feel weird buying this. I never remembered seeing this character except I believe was in the original games final fight or streets of rage. By the time she. And out to sf I was already done with those games. I quit sf after the cartoon animation was done.
Further reading to the thread I think this was a joke right? She is female right?

But at least you accepted the truth.

NO! the law of fiction is, she is man, so forever "she" will be man.

"She" is trans, we cannot change what creators made a character to be, it violates law of fiction.
