Transphobic gamers seem to be stunned again by the fact that one person appears to have impersonated an Arc System Works representative and sent a fake email to a player, emphasizing that popularity, is back. Guilty Gear Strive Bridget’s character is not transgender.
Deception comes to light when The official Arc System Works Twitter account posted a tweet pointed out that someone impersonating a customer service representative had posted a “fabricated image to look like an official response”. While Arc System Works’ tweet is rather confusing and has little specifics as to what exactly the misinformation is related to, Twitter user JohnXuandou tweeted that the impostor in question sent a fake email stating that Bridget is not transgender.
“A bunch of responses to this have been ‘BOOK OFFICIAL REPORT!’ They did, you idiot. It’s in the game,” JohnXaudou said in a reply to their original tweet. “You can play it right now. Bridget’s arcade mode and the damn character encyclopedia both say that Bridget is a girl. You’re stupid.”

Arc System Works’ tweet about the impersonator is littered with replies asking the company to make an “official” statement on Bridget’s gender history, despite the hard evidence the newly updated Guilty Gear Strive single-player mode has already given on the matter. Seeing as how Bridget’s costume, official bio, and the dialogue reaffirms that, yes, Bridget does in fact identify as a girl, I think people online who are asking Arc System Works to make an official statement about her gender are having to deal with it. with something fierce. In the words of Michael Jordan: “Stop. Get help. ”
