Talk:Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door/Regional Differences

Peeka and Lahla

So on Mariowiki, an ip just changed our Peeka and Lahla articles saying that both of them had the rabbit ears in the JP version, using this video as proof. I don't know if this is a revision thing or something that's totally slipped under the radar until now (and since the video only shows the parlor one, their descriptions may have been switched by mistake for all I know).

Looked into this since I have the Japanese version on hand, and yeah apparently they do both have bunny ears. ([1], [2]) --Alley (talk) 20:55, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

Very good then, I have edited the page thusly. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 05:25, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Vivian

"However, all other translations refer to Vivian as a transgender woman.

Does the editor of the article think the definition of 'transgender' is 'looks like a girl but is actually a boy'? Because there's literally nothing in Goombella's tattle or the party description that refers to him as a 'transgender woman'. Other characters use a masculine pronounce to refer to him. Yes, Vivian refers to himself using a feminine first-person pronoun, but there are also gay characters in manga and anime that do this that aren't transgender women. ValjeanLafitte (talk)

Vivian herself refers to herself as a woman. She is a stronger source than Goombella's tattle or any other character. If I say "I am a woman" but everyone else in the room says "this is a man who looks like a woman," then everyone else in the room is wrong. Hope this clears things up.--Fawfulthegreat64 (talk) 07:42, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
