I am not 100% familiar with this case but to my knowledge, there was a background graphics artist who said Samus was a transsexual in an interview. Yokio Sakamoto then made light of the interview later on, saying something like Metroid will appear on the PS2 the day Samus is trans, indicting that it might've been an in-joke relating to Samus' body dimensions. Or something. In either case, I don't see any Metroid games on the PS2 so Samus is a chick.

But Brianna Wu has recently contributed to an article on the website The Mary Sue, claiming that Samus being trans is canonical based on that graphics artist's interview words. As a result, there has been a push from certain sections to change the Wikipedia entry on Samus Aran in order to reflect the Mary Sue article.

SJW with rich parents who's somehow become a feminist icon in tech/gaming because she cried about being harassed so badly by misogynist gamers that she had to leave her home and hide in a hotel. These claims got her a stack of mainstream coverage on networks like MSNBC, Al-Jazeera USA, CNN and even ABC here in Australia. Of course, she later admitted that she never left her home in the first place, but the story had been put out and the narrative had been established. So none of the organisations that ran with her story based on that assumption ever bothered to issue corrections.

all of which is boliks

It's even funnier because the artist probably said it as a joke.

Actually, I retract my statement on certain sections of wikipedia trying to change the article. There's evidence it's Wu herself trying to change the article and calling transmisogyny on anyone who's reverting her changes due to lack of evidence. Lol.

If anyone wants to go through it:

Lol somebody has way too much time on their SJW hands. What is changing a long established female character going to accomplish?

Thats why i posted it here. Its more a joke than anything else.
The thing is the guy likely said something allong the lines of " she has balls. "

It is nice to see. A common issue I have with this sort of thing is that both sides throw so much vitriol I don't know who's in the right.

What?

Why do these people have to impose their political beliefs onto everything they come into contact with? If you're gay or transgender, good for you. You don't need a cookie every five minutes.
