The way I’ve heard the story told, Poison has possibly the most politically incorrect origin of any mainstream video game character I’ve heard of in my day. From what I understand it went something like this;
Now, what makes this all the more strange is the fact that it appears that Austen Crowder claims to be a transwoman. This, of course, is classic Bilerico. Crowder does not appear to make any real effort to remotely appear female. His name is Austen. He apparently is really into violent, macho video games about fighting and wrestling, and really loves that they have a trans character. And he thinks it is really, really tasteful to suggest that hitting a transsexual is "okay." I mean, this is the perfect transgender blogger for Bilerico. He fits right in.“So we made this girl bad guy character for Final Fight.”
“No way! Unacceptable! We can’t have our macho hero dudes hitting women!”
“Well… What if she was a transexual? It’s okay to punch trannies, right?”
“Yeah, that sounds okay”

Did a quick google crawl and saw you referenced one of my Bilerico posts. As an afterword, SFxTekken was a really, really terrible game. :)
Anywho, its nice to finally have a gender-policing troll on my case. Joy! :D
