Solatorobo headcanon that will give the devs a heart attack:
Red is trans.
He literally has top surgery scars. They're the result of fucked up experiments, but they are still top surgery scars.
A solatorobo remake should do a lot of things like add more chapters and side quests to the main story to expand on the characters.
But more importantly it should fix the weird transphobia by making Red and Elh trans. Alman also but I like him being a drag queen tbh
I mean, product of the times and all, as trans people weren't all that publicly a thing at the time.
Elh I could see being a trans man, though red is a bit more complicated
to me, red strikes me as the type to transition and then treat the fact that hes trans as so unimportant it's forgotten. essentially dropping the trans part of trans man
even then though, he strikes me more as the type thats just confidently a dude, especially with what happens immediately after -
walking in on Elh.
the whole "why did you trick us" thing reads to me like red thinking he was gay for liking (what he thought was) a guy, then ill expressed relief that Elh was actually a girl.
problematic? absolutely, but so is the shower scene so...
