sicko-no

Just when I thought I had acclimated to the high school visual novel part of Valkyria Chronicles 2, I get the classic anime trope of accidentally falling on someone's boobs with a side of possible transphobia

For context, the character being groped is male-presenting with their sex being listed as male in their bio and is referred to with male pronouns. I did notice his voice actor sounded female and wondered if that was going to come into play in his subplot. With the huge amount of squad mates in this game I was expecting to see at least some queer ones since I vaguely remember the first game having a few. I wasn't expecting this (though maybe I should have)

Anyway, he admits to being a woman at the end of this scene so I wonder if this is more of a Mulan situation than an instance of a trans character. Guess I'll see how this character's subplot concludes.

There's also a pair of female characters where one seems lesbian-coded and is the target of some vaguely homophobic abuse from fellow students though they seem to just be "close friends"

I guess 2010 was a pretty long time ago
