Well the original creator always intended to make her female from the start anyway, he just got afraid that fictictional cartoon violence against a woman would receive a negative backlash, which was a silly concern because notable females in fighting/ action games already existed by then , so they decided to give her some silly tranny back story becuause violence on trans people somehow more appropriate. To bad sjw faggots nowadays just praise her as some progressive inclusive symbol of lgbt representation when really her original message was basically "it's ok to beat on trans people" so now we have an otherwise standard female character with a pointless shemale back story tacked on. I hate Japan's habit of "let's draw a generic anime girl but say it's a boy, because reasons"

>>6683057
I like her specifically because she's a shemale.

>>6683085
That's wrong asshat. Her original design sketches always labeled her a newhalf.

Does anyone know where that one CG set/doujin of Poison's dick shrinking into uselessness and then at the end growing to be fuckhuge, but cumming at the drop of a hat, is?

I've looked all over sadpanda and can't quite manage to find it again.

If she was female:

>/d/ would just add a dick anyway

If she was a tranny

>/d/ would add another dick

And so on. /d/ doesn't care either way.

btw, how do you describe 'shemale?
because from the definitions I've seen, shemale is basicly dick with tits.
Sounds like what you want is futa, dick with female parts.
Although... fuck it, that's been argued either way for a while now on here, so I guess that doesn't matter.

>>6687387
It's like, you're trying to be retarded. He's not complaining about dicks. He's complaining about vaginas. He wants his girls to either have dicks or vaginas, not both. I agree. A futanari with no balls is the biggest turn off for me.

Poison is great because she's a shemale, or a trans woman if you want to be PC, but it's pretty much implied she's a sex worker anyway, so who gives a fuck. She's got a rocking body and is packing heat in those shorts. Who wouldn't want to fuck her in the ass? Fags obviously.

I love his the main crux of your argument is evidence written in "moon runes" by the original creator of the character and therefore somehow invalid.

I'm not going to sit here and tell you you're wrong but since Capcom won't go on record to confirm or deny anything, all of this is just a lot of bitching and moaning for no reason.

But if you somehow believe that you have the divine wisdom to lay some truth upon our heathen ears about all this then you sir are a fucking retard.

Does it matter? Hell no it doesn't matter. Enjoy this bitch however you want, her gender ambiguity makes her good for that.

But if your experience is ruined because other people are enjoying something you like differently than how you do, you need to put on your big boy pants and fucking get over it.

As stated earlier by a few people, despite the notations by the original creator (retcon is always a possibility), Capcom hasn't taken any position on the matter, even though refusing to makes me feel like she really might be trans. Either way there is no "truth" to all this and all y'all need to shut your face holes, pick your Poison (see what I did there?) and fap.

Unless there's officially licensed DLC from Capcom that gives you a version of Poison with a bulge, none of us are ever going to know for sure.

And for the record, Poison as a tranny kind of makes sense coming from a franchise like Final Fight which was full of bizarre shit like that or have we all forgotten about Ash?

>>6690069

Well the whole point of that game was to clean up the mean streets of Metro City overrun with gang members, drug dealers and obviously sexual deviants. At that point in time I'm sure to the Japanese, sex workers and transsexuals/transvestites were seen as "deviant" and therefore were fair game to have the shit kicked out of them. Ergo Poison, her color swap Roxie and Ash among a few other sexually provocative enemies.

Though oddly enough I've heard Roxie is canonically full female regardless of being a palette swap and whether or not you accept Poison being trans/futa.

I think it's more because either answer would hurt them in the end. Saying she's a woman would offend the gay/transsexual rights groups and make them look like they retconned her because something is inherently wrong with a shemale equaling bad press, protests, smear campaigns, all that SJW bullshit.

If they say she does have a dick, it hurts her mainstream popularity among the primarily hetero male fanbase and sales on any Poison related merch and DLC.

So better to give no answer at all. That being said, since either consequence is just as bad, we will never know and should stop with all the bitching.

Well actually that depended a great deal on the platform involved. The Sega Genesis kept the original sprite albeit censored slightly while the SNES version swapped her and Roxy out for male characters (who stil moved like women oddly enough).

>Always a Poison thread asking the same question on the board at all times since forever

Newfags...

The "Newhalf" notations started with the Super Famicom version. Apparently, part of the decision to start referring to her as a Newhalf was due to the fact that the way she dressed couldn't be taken as proper female attire in Japan at the time.
One of the creators eventually said that the Japanese version of Poison is pre-op and just tucks her junk away really well while the US version of Poison is post-op and doesn't have any junk to tuck away.

>>6692162

Well in all fairness, oldfags are the ones who turned fighting over stupid shit into the very foundation of 4chan as a whole. Only thing they have over everyone else is seniority and more experience at it.

>>6692226

Can you cite precedence? Genuinely interested in this claim.

>>6692226

Please redirect your attention to >>6685738

Well, it doesn't really matter much. In Japan, she's always considered to be a tranny since most of the Japanese manuals make a point of calling her a newhalf every since they first started providing character profiles. It's just the other countries where they don't bother to clarify.
Capcom USA regularly treats her as a cis-het female in their translations or tries to dance around the issue completely. I guess it's kind of like the character in the old Gatchaman/Battle Of The Planets series where the Japanese version has one of the villains as a hermaphrodite but the English-language rewrite turned it into a brother and sister to dance around the issue.

They made her a girl since the first fucking game and only changed the gender because hitting woman was considered bad back then and then keep fucking up because of the same shit.

>Pro Shemale: "Well if you look at this corroborated source from the development team along with these notations..."
>Anti-Shemale: *fingers in ears* "LA LA LA LA LA I'M RIGHT YOU'RE WRONG LA LA LA LA PENIS BAAAAD!!"

There are two types of people in these threads.

Those who research into something genuinely wanting to get to the truth regardless of whether the outcome is something they agree with just to put it all to rest.

And then there are those who research into something, only accepting what supports their pre-established beliefs, refuting all others and believe if they present said findings as truth enough times, that will somehow make it valid.

The whole starting off as a female and made trans for violence against women theory has already been proven wrong numerous times. Find new material to support that insecure denial guys.

The "newhalf" label first appeared in the Japanese Super Nintendo manual. It was added to some of the design docs from the arcade when they were working on the SNES/SFC port. Early on, both Roxy and Poison were listed as newhalf. Since then, Capcom Japan has only confirmed that Poison is newhalf because nobody gives a shit about Roxy, apparently, or maybe they decided that Roxy should be the option for people who like Poison but don't like the idea of her having a dick. The whole thing about the character being changed due to Nintendo is true for the USA version, where they replaced her with a male character. Nintendo Japan did have some restrictions against violence towards women in games marketed towards children, so it's still possible the "newhalf" label was actually added during that iteration. The Japanese have never really have a lot of respect for transgender individuals so I could see them thinking that beating up a newhalf could be more acceptable than beating up a woman.

One thing I will say about this is that, over time, a lot of them have ended up being fan-favorite characters anyway. Like Poison here, or Flea from Chrono Trigger, or Vivian from Paper Mario. While I don't doubt they were used as villains for negative reasons, over time it seems to have "backfired" on those original intentions.

Don't bother. The only people who argue against that are of the "FEMALE MAKE ME HARD SO COCK BAD AND I MUST DENY!" variety XD

In Japan, Poison and Roxy were supposed to be shemale prostitutes. The early sketches made them look a little more manly than their final designs. It helped to make them seem more appropriate to beat up and explain why they weren't as weak as the first stage enemies.

If you cosplay as Poison, you should wear a huge strap-on that leaves a huge bulge in your panties.

Well to be fair SoR was really just a knock-off of FF albeit a really successful one so I can see where the confusion would come from. If you just showed me a random screenshot there's a chance I'd get them confused too.

I rather like that the creators put in a dickgirl martial artist. I mean, I like getting pegged too but cock is better in many ways. Heavy BDSM and rape play with a big-boobed martial artist with a huge cock? Yes please!

Its something with a chick that have pink hair and a big delicious cock that make me tick so bad.. cant have her as a normal girl!

I always love it when the anti shemale people get beaten down by popular opinion, run off with their tail between their legs and yet next time another Poison thread comes along they'll just act like none of this ever happened and start up again.

It does matter when it comes to fap material, because we all have our own preferences. But it's a question with no definitive canon answer (female in Japan, shemale in America) so it's stupid to argue about it.

It has no definitive answer because Capcom won't go on record with an answer meaning even in Japan its still unknown just as much as it is here in the states.

Not that I didn't love Final Fight, but SOR stuck with me more just because of the cool tunes.Too bad we never got decent Blaze hentai back in the day...
