Much of Cid's dialogue is presented in a similar way yet I've never seen anyone bring that up in comparison to Barret except for @Brodehouse up above me.
Hilarity ensues because in comedy, often the best laughs stem from breaking social taboos and, still to this day, crossdressing is a pretty big one. It's cute.
She is glad Cloud cares for her enough to want to come save her, but warns him to not fall in love with her. Short answer is: it isn't.To reduce the complicated mess of gender dysphoria into something so inelegant as "man wearing women's clothing = trans" is to discredit a lot of the groundwork that has been laid out for growing acceptance of transgender individuals. Let's keep going." Aerith promises to take Cloud to Sector 7 the next day, but when Aerith is away in another room, her mother tells Cloud that as an Ex-SOLDIER he has traded his chance for a normal life for power and can't stay around Aerith, and thus Cloud sneaks out at night. Cloud doesn’t really end up with either Tifa or Aerith in the Final Fantasy VII Remake.
It's not that you could never do that in a game in a sensitive manner, but no attempt to be sensitive is made in FFVII. In the Cloud's design is an accumulation of eight designs the staff made, ranging from deformed to realistic. This is somewhat hampered by his belief that the golden age of gaming ended with the PlayStation One, but he doesn't let that stop him. A mysterious voice arises from within him every now and then, reminding him of something that happened in the past, but Cloud chooses to ignore and suppress it. Characters like Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima still looked like slaves for decades longer in other countries than they did in the states.When, as a country, all you know about black people is what is depicted in the media, and all that is depicted in the media about black people is terrible, that's what Japanese people regurgitate without knowing they are making a mistake.I mean, heck, there are tons of white people in the US who only know about black people from TV.
In the (brief) Fallout 4 moment It was framed less as "you can where all of these costumes, how cool is that!" He called Tifa out to the Cloud's dreams are cut short as despite his bravado, he never makes it into SOLDIER and instead becomes a mere Shinra infantryman. The hot tub scene is the one that uhhh might need some work.Why is Cloud crossdressing transphobic? I would say it is transphobic as it plays on the whole trap stereotype. Partially because he isn't the biggest fan of the idea in the first place, and also because he pulls it off shockingly well. It is, in the context of an American audience, a rather They aren't going to cut that part from the game come on people. You think the people there are going to be open minded? Cloud is a man. He's in the slums of a megacity, in a rough night life area with a brothel. Sephiroth says that it was indeed the crowning moment of their time together, and traps Cloud in an illusion where everything around him is burning. That could make anyone angry all the time. Though Johnny is unaffiliated, Tifa worries he might still incriminate them, and they defeat the soldiers. It's cute.
She hesitates over what path they should follow, as the mysterious beings that have been intermittently tormenting and helping them are When Cloud goes after Sephiroth, he is pulled into a vision of what Sephiroth calls the edge of creation.
Motherfucker better continue to curse like a sailor.
Maybe the ones bringing up the fact that he's black are the stereotypical ones, not square themselves. The kana in his name can be also read as "Claude Strauss", which is a real-world German name, but were intentionally read as Cloud to fit the theme of his character arc. He fights by using explosives and blowing everyone up at which point he celebrates with obnoxious "horse laughs", as the Japanese would say.Would that not be offensive to you? The Barret stuff is probably just a bad translation job. On the way he is visited by an apparition of Aerith, and declares he is searching for forgiveness. The dudes in the Gym are totally on board with the entire venture though, so there's people there who support you, not to mention the people who make you the dress, give you the perfect wig and the perfume.Cloud is also very androgynous, so come on, he's a pretty lady.I haven't heard of that moment being called offensive though I can understand the reasoning behind it. When Cloud regains consciousness Barret and Tifa tell him Aerith has left, and Cloud resolves to follow her. His father died when he was young and he was raised by his mother. Even if you're the "I hate SJW's" type, I don't see how you couldn't find Barrett's character in need of improvement.The dress-up sequence containing transphobic elements I can't speak to.
As Cloud's clothes are being changed, Andrea has a whole speech about how beauty exists beyond concepts such as gender. That shit is kinda fucked. Tifa is Cloud's childhood friend who had convinced Barret to hire Cloud for Avalanche operations when he had shown up in Midgar as a mercenary for hire. The true Cloud is open-minded and cares about the bonds he has forged with his friends.
The "true Cloud" is the part of himself Cloud had tried to deny and the one who remembers his past not as a SOLDIER member, but as a regular footsoldier. Both Barret and Cid need to maintain their foul language.
