Context: The character in question is Bridget from Guilty Gear (Blonde wearing the hoodie). Canonically, Bridget and his twin brother were born in a village where having male twins is considered taboo. Bridget was raised as a “girl” in order to survive. He then left the village and became a bounty hunter in order to defy the superstition.

Unfortunately, in the most recent Guilty Gear game, Guilty Gear Strive, Bridget was retconned as a “trans girl”, which means he’s now following the same path he wanted to defy (hence why the meme was made).

Despite the unfortunate implications, troons on Twitter and Reddit celebrated the news.

Of course they did, he was one of their fetish icons. So him becoming a "real" girl is the culmination of their masturbatory fantasies.

But to the true fans, he'll always be the best trap.

IIRC, Isn't the place in this game where Bridget becomes a trans girl the bad ending of his mode where he gets kidnapped and tortured into use as a sex slave? So, it actually makes MORE sense as masturbatory fantasy.

Maybe I misspoke there, I meant "these people using this character, already one of their fetish icons, in a situation like that as their masturbatory fantasy."
