I mistakenly refer to Vivian's sisters as "brothers" many times in this video. I think I was given false information about them being her brothers in the Japanese version of game a long time ago, and didn't bother double checking. Doesn't invalidate anything I said in the video, but pretty embarrassing to make a mistake like that in a video about defending a character's gender identity.

We all love Vivian right? Let's talk about her and why she's such a cool character :)

I hope I was able to articulate everything in a way that makes sense and is respectful to Vivian's transgender story. I encourage discussion about this in the comments, but please be respectful to everyone's voice.
