Gender swapping in Sailor Moon. Why?

[lead_shitennou]

Dear mun, why on earth does the English sub turn my Zoisite into a....woman? Why? He is just fine being himself. Alright, he does act a little girlish at times but there is no need for him to completely loose his....manhood. [cringe] I would hope that you don't read fan fic involving me with a woman version of Zoisite because I think it is absurd. Very. Zoisite is a shitennou warrior, a good, strong man.

If he's strong, shouldn't he also be strong as a woman?

[She will never accept Beryl's view of her as a 'useless girl'.]

[lead_shitennou]

He could be I suppose. But why change someone just because others find it strange. Some people are against male relationships. [sigh] The west doesn't seem to agree on Zoisite and me having a relationship. I just prefer him as a man, that's all.

We are all male warriors, the shitennou. Wouldn't it be odd just to have one woman out of four men?

[waterfell]

Aren't I a woman with the shitennou now? [Acknowledge it, Kunzite. She won't take well to being reminded she is still no shitennou and wasn't meant to be among them.]

He's a bit sexist D

[lead_shitennou]

Hmph. An acception. [He brushed the idea off.] Men are physically stronger than women though. Holding a shield and weapon while using it in battle takes strength.

[waterfell]

[Kunzite, do you remember what happened to the last guy who thought girls couldn't do anything?

Jadeite and an airplane?

Mercury lifts her sword; a gesture without threat, but drawing attention to the weapon.]

Want to test that against this?

[lead_shitennou]

Hmph. I'm not going to fight you just to win the arguement, Mercury. It's a fact that men's bodies are built stronger than women's. I'm taller than you anyway. [Yes, he was being cocky.]

this is amusing me so much XD

[waterfell]

Say it all you want, but the stronger one is the one who wins the battle.

Me.

Re: Me too. Kun's ego is just to big XD

[lead_shitennou]

Pfft. Oh p-lease. [He rolled his eyes.]

Being around sailor scouts has blinded your thought. I will win the battle, Mercury. I could defeat Beryl if I wished.

[waterfell]

This from the guy who needed me to even deal with the sailor senshi? [Smiiiirk.]

[lead_shitennou]

I didn't need you to do anything! Hmph.

[waterfell]

Ohhh~? I'll be going, then! [After all, doesn't it mean freedom? He's letting her go.]

[lead_shitennou]

No. [He grabbed her arm and smirked.] Are you a coward, Mercury?

[waterfell]

I just hate people putting me down. Remember that.

[lead_shitennou]

Hmph. I can put you down if I want to. I'm the leader, remember. [He squeezed her arm with a smirk.]

[waterfell]

[Her eyes narrow as Mercury jerks her arm away.]

You may be the shitennou's leader, but didn't you just say that has nothing to do with me?

Don't be so familiar.

[lead_shitennou]

[He let out a low laugh.]

You are always saying you want to be the woman within the shitennou. That has to come with a price, hm? Being so beautiful... [He went to touch her face.]

[waterfell]

[She blocks his hand, reflexes quick as he'd expect of anyone hoping to survive the Dark Kingdom.]

Do you use the same words with everyone?

[zoisite]

Oh, Kunzite-sama, I love that you would defend my honour, but you shouldn't let it bother you so. Those people just can't handle a love as wonderous as ours.

That, and they can't stand the fact that I'm more beautiful than any woman. ;)

yay! *hug*

[lead_shitennou]

[He was pleased to see him here.]

Indeed. You speak the truth, Zoisite. Our love cannot compare to what others think. It is a special relationship between warriors.

Re: :D

[zoisite]

[Looks pensive for a moment] Kunzite-sama ... would you still love me even if I WERE the woman they make me out to be? I'd still look like me, although I'd be somewhat ... [glances down at his chest] flat ....

[lead_shitennou]

[He took Zoisite's hands into his and nodded.] I would love you even if you became a monster. It's what inside that counts, Zoisite. I love the very essence which is you.

[zoisite]

Then there's nothing to be upset about, is there? [Smiles up at him] They can't change what we have, no matter what form we're in. [Pauses] But they're not allowed to turn YOU into a woman. Hmmph.

Neph has a new DM post up. Sorry Zoisite XD

[lead_shitennou]

Of course not. We're together and happy. That's all that matters. Me, into a woman? Hmph. Not a chance.

Uh oh XD

[zoisite]

Certainly not. You've so very masculine. [Kiss]

Re: Yup.

[lead_shitennou]

Thank you, Zoisite. So are you. [He caressed his face as he leaned into the kiss.]
