@yomachaser Poison is obviously a transexual, and Eagle is officially gay, but I haven't seen anything in the actual StreetFighter canon that even hints that Zangief's gay. Yes, there's an ending in SF2 where Zangief has a picture of Vega by his mirror, but that's making fun of the "fighters keep a pic of their rivals by their mirror" thing. Yes, one description of Zangief said he doesn't like young women, but that doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't like women in general, AND he has a love interest in SF-Alpha (R. Mika). Also, he may look like a really gay guy to us North Americans, but to the Japanese I don't think it's supposed to be look that way. It's all misinterpretations on the part of the fanboys.
When the manager at my local EBGames said that Mortal Kombat was a better game than Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition, I got so angry I was barely able to leave the store without yelling. "Well," I later thought, "At the very least, I don't think many other people will agree with him. Mortal Kombat started out as an unnecessarily violent copycat of Street Fighter that held the industry back ten years in the PR department, and today it's still just as similar to how Jack Thompson describes videogames. Well, before I go to bed, I'll just check Joystiq one last time."
Wait, Mortal Kombat won best fighting game over Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition? And over Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3? That is basically a punch in the face to the tournament fighting community.
Seriously, Arcade Edition is WAAAY more prevalent in the tournament fighting community than Mortal Kombat. Anyone who denies that is an idiot.
Poison was always a transgender character, and here's a documentary proving it

I have see things wrong with these sentences.
First of all, you MADE him join a club? In other words, you forced him? So having Aspergers means he can't make his own decisions?
Second, you can barely tell he has it? So the goal of the whole thing was to make him normal, like everybody else? Why is it necessary to be normal?
As an Aspie myself, I take issue with these two things.
Sorry if I'm being too blunt, it just seems like you have some weird notions in your head.
