as stated on this issue when Wes brought it up on my Face Book:

Female or Shemale, POISON is ridiculously hot for a character design and the outfit if worn in real life by a chica who could pull it off would scorch the sun. The whole controversy is absurd anyhow, IT'S A VIDEO GAME CHARACTER! About a month ago it was decided by Capcom of Japan to allow the fans to decide ultimately what she is. Strangely enough, the only person I can see pulling a proper cosplay of Poison off with style and looking scrumptiously delicious is Shemale porn star Sarina Valentina. To me, (as when I was 12 when I first played the game at Diamond J's arcade room at the long gone West Lakes Mall) the character will always be just a biker slut apart of the Mad Gear gang. ---I'm loving this video though, this is Hil-Fucking-LARIOUS. Bottom line, at the end of the night any dood VS. Poison looking like that = Chorizo Thundercrack Especial Buster Wolf Genocide Kata Metro City Powerbomb! Daaaaaaanger Zone!!!! ---seriously, what the hell does it matter? [yesterday @ 16:03hrs Central]
^ I still think it's absurd but I guess The Jury has spoken. Chev, guess it's time for you to blast the Kenny Loggins man. I've got a city to save and Pepsi in a Coke can... well, in 2012 we all gonna' die (equally absurd) anyhow. "Okay, who's the fool who destroyed my brand new car!???" FINAL FIGHT GAIDEN: Venageance of the Mercenary. Release Date = 12-12-12.
Who said anything about dying that way? *LOL* Absurd topic, absurd responses. And we ain't gonna die this year... it's (in Van Damme's voice) "Boooolshit". If you do die this year brah, it's cause you didn't keep running, better go snort some nasal spray or electrocute yourself, cause Doc Miles can't be found and you owe us a Part III before you time out.
Exceptions to every rule man... exceptions to every rule. *LOL* Hey, way I see it is this, In Bad Dudes the Pres gets kidnapped by Ninjas right? Son of a bitch rewards you with a hamburger! FUCK THAT SHIT. At least this way...
which resulted in me leaving this photo on Wes' page for starting the whole 22 comments long conversation over this video...
that then lead to a lot of random shit talking on Poison Final Fight FB fan page, with me saying...

Paging Sarina Valentina... Sarina, Sarina, where are you sexy? She needs to cosplay this character proper. Yes I'm in porn mode myself ta'night. [/Remus Shagohod]
and...
My friend Chev Chelios wants one of these shirts... (Trapcom) I think I want one too. I'll wear that shit, and jump kick a door breaking it, and go look for a fully cooked Turkey under a 5 gallon barrel, then moonwalk through a night club and say the password. (Hint it's Metro City backwards) \m/ I'm sending Trapcom a law suit for having messed up my mind.
that led to more shit talking and somehow (as I just learned) led to me being FAN OF THE WEEK on that FB fan page for the second time to which I said a few minutes ago...
Mercenary X99 said:
That's TWICE now. HELL YEAH [/AFT Jungle Recon's voice} "I'm ready do some some work! Metro City will be safe... AFTER Devastation is laid down."
Imagine wearing that tapping dat ass. 20 + years of mad cream in mad gear... be like the time I saved the world from the Soviets back in '88 with a friend in DEVASTATORS, apart of "The Konami Regiment" of social 8 balls thrown into a world of dispair where violence IS life. R&R was fucked.
and I had to clear up that misunderstanding with...

Nah man, me and my homie Jeff (back in the day) had to deal with the Soviets on another front as *The Devastators* --- later in '88 towards the end of the year I assisted in retaking Fort Firestorm (Super Contra --Arcade) but was recalled to Natorm Headquarters to return to the hell again in NAM in 1990. The New Zealand incident was in '87 (arcade) BTW. '88 was all Super Contra, though some say it was 1990 by Famicom port standards. Life has become dull since those days Chev. Prolly why some Taboo Wonders (Shemales) ---SOME--- don't look bad on the menu these days.
So yeah man... Nice BUMP on the thread adding onto the age old controversies across Cyberspace (at this point) and the realization that... IT DON'T FUCKIN' MATTER ANYMORE. Capcom is indeed TrapCom, the sky has gone from blue to cloudy grey, and it's just time to go to war with the harlot of video gaming.

I can't believe watched the whole thing.Damn you capcom you crazy funster,still i don't care what posion is though this debate on posion sexuality over years has been entertaining to watch.
In the last couple of weeks I have been playing the hell out of SNK VS Capcom with Hugo plus street fighter 3 and started getting interested in the poison character, which until recently I presumed she was always a woman, and even though I want her to be, with all the evidence about her being a new half, its hard to ignore, but still cant find myself accepting it.
Its BS, the characters was designed as female. They changed/made up that story before release as a way to excuse the fact your beating down a woman without having to go back and redesign the spright.

That is a wonderfully ignorant theory that makes no sense due to the fact Final Fight features another enemy character you beat down on who IS a woman. Whoops. But don't let that glaringly obvious truth get in the way of your homophobic denial.

EDIT: This, which Final Fantasy is the best/worst and Dion Dakis/Chris Ray: byg tymers are the three most commonly discussed video game related topics on the internet.
SouthtownKid: Homophobia has nothing to do with it... My entire case is based on this one line from the interview, it is however all I need to make the case I did above.
"Well, as you said, it’s a character that has been around for a while, and initially—as you probably know—the initial intent for Final Fight was that she was just a regular woman. Over the next 20 years, there’s been some changes"

But by the time the game was initially released to the public, she WASN'T a woman. So who cares? Maybe you don't know this, but when George Lucas was originally writing Star Wars, the character that eventually became Luke was originally a woman. But by the time the movie was made and released, that obviously wasn't the case. Initial ideas don't mean doodly squat. What matters is the game that we actually get.
