Rumor: Hunter Schafer being eyed to play Princess Zelda in the Zelda movie

Hunter Schafer is a dude.
Zelda is a girl.

This shit makes no sense, and it should've been CGI in the first place.

Nintendo would never hire a trans girl in this climate anyway. They aren't Disney. They are still very conservative and a-political.

Smash it bro. Why don't you start by ramming his throbbing cock down your mouth then you can suck those silicon tiddies of his. Maybe then he can give you a foot job with his size 10 feet and put his big manly hands around your tiny cock.

Honestly, get real. Just because he passes as a man in still pics and video, do you really think straight men in real life won't be able to tell the difference?

More likely you're bi or desperate than the rest of us being insecure.

Well this has completely spiraled out of control, which is exactly what the person who started the rumor wanted.

There were articles from progressive blogs trying to hype Hunter up as a viable choice before, and now Daniel Rictman has pushed it to the mainstream. This is all about controversy and "creating dialogue" about trans rights, not about the Zelda movie.

The west really gets hung (oh my) up over these gender thing huh. Walk the streets of Thailand and you wont know what genitals a hot looking girl has.

Difference is, in Thailand, they don't call themselves "women," nor do they believe they're women. They idolize female beauty, but it stops there. They won't lie to you and gaslight you into accepting them as actual women.

There have been many interviews with them. They call themselves ladyboys and still say they're men that like to look beautiful like women. They refuse to call themselves a woman. They still even speak in their big boy voices.

I tried, I just couldn't get in to it…..it felt so wrong and awkward.

I essentially was watching movie about people cosplaying as One Piece characters.

Also one of the biggest reason I got in One Piece was its artstyle and it's wacky character designs.
 
It depends on which Zelda they are casting. For OoT/TP Zelda sure but for BotW/ToTK Zelda I would choose Chloë Grace Moretz, tho I heard she has stepped away from acting (so sad, I love her).

Even if you take a bioessentialist stance on gender (the whole debate is primarily a philosophical difference around linguistics and classification), isn't acting just pretending to be something else? There is a long history of acting as the other sex. It would be interesting to have Hunter playing Zelda pretending to be Sheik.

The character is called Princess Zelda, not Prince Zelda.
 
All I'm learning from the comment section is there is quite a few of you, who want to stick their dicks in other dudes if there pretty enough.

Plus the mental gymnastics to justify a non women getting a part, that an actual women can play. Like what are we doing.

As for actors I nominate Ella Freya play Zelda

She's super pretty and does look the part, but she's an instagrammer rather than an actress?

I also agree with people who would have preferred the Zelda movie to be traditional animation, maybe modelled on the art style used in Breath of the Wild.

Bioessentialist stance on gender?

I smell some bioessentialist bullshit right here.

But meh, fuck a live action Zelda movie anyway. Ever since they announced it i thought it was a stupid fucking idea. Just make it CGI. All problems solved.

I assume you mean gender is determined by sex and that sex is always easy to observe and discern. Here is a little rant I saw from a biologist once…

Friendly neighborhood biologist here. I see a lot of people are talking about biological sexes and gender right now. Lots of folks make biological sex sex seem really simple. Well, since it's so simple, let's find the biological roots, shall we? Let's talk about sex…

If you know a bit about biology you will probably say that biological sex is caused by chromosomes, XX and you're female, XY and you're male. This is "chromosomal sex" but is it "biological sex"? Well…

Turns out there is only ONE GENE on the Y chromosome that really matters to sex. It's called the SRY gene. During human embryonic development the SRY protein turns on male-associated genes. Having an SRY gene makes you "genetically male". But is this "biological sex"?

Sometimes that SRY gene pops off the Y chromosome and over to an X chromosome. Surprise! So now you've got an X with an SRY and a Y without an SRY. What does this mean?

A Y with no SRY means physically you're female, chromosomally you're male (XY) and genetically you're female (no SRY). An X with an SRY means you're physically male, chromsomally female (XX) and genetically male (SRY). But biological sex is simple! There must be another answer…

Sex-related genes ultimately turn on hormones in specifics areas on the body, and reception of those hormones by cells throughout the body. Is this the root of "biological sex"??

"Hormonal male" means you produce 'normal' levels of male-associated hormones. Except some percentage of females will have higher levels of 'male' hormones than some percentage of males. Ditto ditto 'female' hormones. And…

…if you're developing, your body may not produce enough hormones for your genetic sex. Leading you to be genetically male or female, chromosomally male or female, hormonally non-binary, and physically non-binary. Well, except cells have something to say about this…

Maybe cells are the answer to "biological sex"?? Right?? Cells have receptors that "hear" the signal from sex hormones. But sometimes those receptors don't work. Like a mobile phone that's on "do not disturb'. Call and cell, they will not answer.

What does this all mean?

It means you may be genetically male or female, chromosomally male or female, hormonally male/female/non-binary, with cells that may or may not hear the male/female/non-binary call, and all this leading to a body that can be male/non-binary/female.

Try out some combinations for yourself. Notice how confusing it gets? Can you point to what the absolute cause of biological sex is? Is it fair to judge people by it?

Of course you could try appealing to the numbers. "Most people are either male or female" you say. Except that as a biologist professor I will tell you…

The reason I don't have my students look at their own chromosome in class is because people could learn that their chromosomal sex doesn't match their physical sex, and learning that in the middle of a 10-point assignment is JUST NOT THE TIME.

Biological sex is complicated. Before you discriminate against someone on the basis of "biological sex" & identity, ask yourself: have you seen YOUR chromosomes? Do you know the genes of the people you love? The hormones of the people you work with? The state of their cells?

Since the answer will obviously be no, please be kind, respect people's right to tell you who they are, and remember that you don't have all the answers. Again: biology is complicated. Kindness and respect don't have to be.

These are real bodily configurations people find themselves in and in such cases they basically have to decide what gender they are. Sometimes it is ambiguous, sometimes it is against the appearance of their body, sometimes it impedes reproduction and sometimes it doesn't. Yet is gender something that is only to be personally decided when a certain number of these parameters don't "align properly"? How does one decide how many parameters are allowed to factor and which ones they are? If one does come to a determination of which combinations of different parameters determine gender one way or the other, how does one claim to themselves such authority of defining these things?

The stance that a particular bodily setup is what determines your gender is part of bioessentialism, although use of that term has also extended to considering biology as a determinant factor of other traits particular to each gender (I have been called a bioessentialist in this sense in regard to nureoscience). Some insist that because of observable exceptions, then not only can generalizations not be made a rule of defining categorization, but that generalizations should not be made at all and everyone should be able to define for themselves. This I think ignores quite a substantial amount of nuroscience and overplays the importance of social identifications in relation to the individual and underplays their importance in societal function.

That said, I think it is fair to say that many people experience a differing conception of themselves than their body seem indicate or that others wish to believe about them. For example, Buddhists do not identify with their ego, Christians perceive an immortal soul and being children of God, many reject racist characterizations made about them, persons with dysmorphia disagree with their own reflection, and many reject apparent characteristics their gender supposedly all share while some reject the notion that their sex or perception of however their sex is classified is something that determines their gender. As I said, it is a philosophical disagreement that people are having.

I personally don't give a shit. Just as someone believing that their nationality has some sort of import to their identity when it is just where they were born and/or raised, or just like the follower of a religion develops their identity around that, I don't really see a particular point in caring however a person wants to define their identity by their sex or gender or sexual preferences. Yes, I may have my own preferences for my own identity, and I may have my own preferences for the type of person I would want for a romantic partner, but I don't see a point in arguing against people's unshakable psychological convictions or trying to gatekeep their opportunities over it, not anymore than I would want some random religion gatekeeping my avenues of life and socializing.

Most of the time the development of our experience of personal identity happens by factors not in our conscious control, so it is kind of a dumb thing to fight over and fairly bullying to try and force a person into your interpretive preferences. That said, I really don't see the point in needing movie roles to always align between character conception and actor, nor do I understand why some people think that every female character should be portrayed by someone you want to bone.
 
I'm shocked this rumor is making any headway at all.

Even Disney hasn't made a trans princess, and Nintendo is ten times more conservative than Disney, at least. This is never going to happen.

Hunter Schafer actually has elvish features

Sidney Sweeney is gorgeous but she doesn't look very elvish

True, but what makes Sidney the better pick is that, well....

You see: Zelda is a woman.

This concludes my presentation on why Sydney Sweeney would be a better pic for Zelda than the elfish looking dude with the bolt-ons. Thanks everyone.
