The Top 16 Androgynous Game Characters of All Time!

Zhou Tai Rocks | June 28, 2007 | Blog | Misc 
Once you read this review, you'll be completely agreeing. I was just discouraged because Zhang He, from the Dynasty Warriors series didn't make the list. He'd definitely be a 17! Either way, I'm just happy someone finally agrees with my Link/Woman in disguise theory. There are eight pages of things to read, so make sure you dont just skim through them, read all you can, it is actually pretty interesting.
"While life can often be difficult and confusing, life's recreational activities shouldn't be. And since so many of us find solace in videogames, I would like to help clear up a frequent source of confusion that gamers face: the androgynous video game character. While more often seen in Japanese-made video games, this character-type is usually purposefully created in an attempt to attract a wider audience to a game. The developers assume that the person playing the game will place whatever gender he or she desires onto that character. However, this also leads to many questions, such as "If I were at a party, would I hit on that Nights character from Nights into Dreams?" or "I wonder if Kirby could get pregnant." This article attempts to answer these questions by revealing exactly which sexual organ sits behind the pants, robes, tights, and dresses of 16 of the most effeminate men and masculine women ever put in a game:"

    It appears that we may never know what Kirby would look like pregnant, because Kirby is a man. Science, forget stem cell research. Please find a way to make Kirby pregnant.
    That bit really made me crack up. I love the faux scientific approach and tone of the article.

    Yugi - Link - Luneth - Raiden :
    What ! I'm sorry but there all blatantly men and you'll know this if you'd bothered to play the games. Yes, they dress rather Feminine, but that's just the style in Japan ^^
    (( I am in no way saying that Raiden is any less of a Sissy though ! ))

    Kirby : I've never really though about it, but if I had to guess I would have said Male, which is correct ^^

    You get used to Androgynous Video game characters after you've played a few Final Fantasy Games and listened to a bit of Japanese music XD ... //

    Cruxis Mana, those entries were just intended for humour; I'm pretty sure everyone actually knows that.

    The one that shocked me was the last one. Most of the others were obvious.

      Yeah, Bridget tends to shock everyone. Mostly males, who suddenly start to feel very awkward upon learning the truth. But who can blame us?!?

    They seemed to have played it safe and left transexuals out of the list. And leave Kirby alone, he's getting in touch with his sofcho side!!!

    I hardly know Bridget except for the fact that despite popular belief, he's a boy.If you pay attention, it actually makes a little bit of sense when you look at him physically: bulgier armpit, short hair, sort of masculine face, and... ahem... something not needed to be mentioned.

    From the tv series. I would think Kirby is more of a guy than anything if not he's like Mew on the fact he could be genderless.

    WHAT THE HELL?! In 6 years of knowing his name, this very moment is the first time I realized Alucard spells Dracula backwards! I'm not kidding. Damn....

    And it's already been confirmed that Link's a guy, FFS.

    I adore Bridget, both for his feminine looks and for how uncomfortable he's made intolerant jerks feel! <3 *smooches for Bridg*

    Zhang He should have definitely made the list! That's rather upsetting... Dynasty Warriors is a great series BTW

    I would have thought Alucard would be higher than any other Castlevania character. Hell, he looks more feminine than his own mother, imo. XD


    ... I've always wanted a pair of boots just like Alucard's. They make his legs looks so pretty
