Kuja is a trap?

[TiefBlau]

People will call anyone androgynous a trap.

Though I guess Samus would be the "reverse trap".

Gender is an INCREDIBLY cultural-dependant thing. After all, gender itself is defined by the culture that you're in at the time.

in what culture (barring modern) is gender defined that drastically different to that of most of today

also in FF and most asian things for that matter, if in doubt, assume a dude

I find it strange how so many people talk about Final Fantasy characters or everything else Eastern basically looking like girls when they're really guys. I find for 99% it's very obviously a guy.

In Kuja's case I looked up pictures of him and there was one that I would have thought he was a girl but, in the others I could tell he was a guy pretty easily.

I think there has been 1 case that I can think of when I mistook a guy for a girl and that was in Dragoneer's Aria for the PSP.

It went like this..
Girl walks on screen. Girl opens mouth. Girl has a mans voice. Girl is not girl anymore.

That's the only time I remember. I see tons of people say Tidus and Cloud looks like girls but they're so obviously guys. It's getting annoying.

I always saw him as a male from the first instant I saw him. He looks a more than a tad flamboyant, but I never saw him as a trap unlike Quinna and Queen Brahne.

Eastern and western cultures have radically different ideals.

Isn't he referenced beforehand as "Mystery/Mysterious man"? I'll agree that he's not exactly the pinnacle of masculinity, but if anyone fell for it they weren't reading the dialogue properly.

Less of a trap, more of a beaten up transit van with the words "Free Sweets & Puppies" sprayed on the side.

I don't think I can take any villain seriously that wears a man thong.

What happened to evil dark robes or pointy armour :<

Eastern and western cultures have radically different ideals.

really, because china, korea, cambodia and Japan all have very patriarchal confucian cultures and family structures
unless you are talking about middle eastern culture where I do beleive the ottoman empire did have cross dressers

otherwise that ideal of them being defined different is limited to modern culture
