Anonymous2: @Anonymous: "In the Japanese version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Vivian was depicted as a male who identified as a female. It is openly stated in Vivian's character description, which is translated as 'One of the Shadow Trio, Vivian appears to be a girl but is really a boy.'"

Anonymous3: what the wiki fails to mention is japanese women uses otoko as an insult towards females they don't like. The translators missed this completely. Goombella goes along with the joke in the tattle. The people who say viv is male ignore this to futher this trans agenda in video games,
