Brigitte Macron is a man?

On a side note, I just watched a documentary about a cartoon named "Lady Oscar", broadcasted on the French TV in the 80'. It struck me with the similarity of "Sir Brigitte". I now wonder if preprogramming of young French people could have been occur. I know it's going a bit far but who knows.

Lady Oscar

"Lady Oscar" for the French version, was a Japanese cartoon based on the story and drawing designed by Riyoko Ikeda and originally untitled "The rose of Versailles".

"Oscar François de Jarjayes and Marie Antoinette"

The story is based on the biography of Marie Antoinette. A women named Oscar (a male first name) and raised with a boy education, become the major of the French Royal Guard during the French Revolution time. The two women, the Queen, Marie Antoinette, and the major, Oscar, becoming close.

Marie Antoinette and Lady Oscar

The story is a huge success and after it became a manga, it's decided to adapt it as a cartoon. We are now at the end of the 70'. Here is the drawing of the closing credits of the two women:

The cartoon is then imported in France and the first diffusion is done on September 1986 on the national TV "Antenne 2", in the programme which was watched by all children (more or less young) at the time, named "Récré A2".

And here, there's an huge difference with the Japanese version: In the French version, only a few people know that Oscar is actually a woman. Unlike the Japanese version, where it is clearly established that Oscar is in fact a woman.

So this detail struck me. Why the hell they would change that!? Dialogues have to be adapted and certainly the editing too. Negotiation with owner of the rights too I guess. Kind of big work. Just why ??

Anyway it now match, in a reversed mode, the current situation of France where it is said that two men are at the hearth of the power. Something knew by only a few. In the cartoon it's two women. I found it interesting.

At that time, when many Japanese animated series were imported into France, television channels undertook a major adaptation process in order to make these animated series, which were mostly intended for teenagers or young adults, suitable for children. The Rose of Versailles was originally a shōjo manga, aimed at teenage girls and young women. In its original version, there was indeed no ambiguity about the gender of the protagonist, who also had a romantic relationship with another character, a male. All of this has been greatly toned down, and although I understand that the final result of the adaptation may be somewhat confusing, I doubt that this should be seen as a deliberate attempt to introduce the concept of trans identity to children. It seems more like a somewhat sloppy adaptation.

And if I may add: in the 1980s, French television channels generally had no idea what series they were buying from Japanese distributors, thinking that ‘they're cartoons, so they're for children’. They only discovered the content of the animated series once they had received and viewed the tapes. This is why the adaptation work was often rough, even completely botched in some cases, which sometimes resulted in works that were very different from the original. I am thinking in particular of Hokuto no Ken, a very violent post-apocalyptic seinen anime aimed at young male adults, which was so watered down with deliberately absurd dialogue and heavy censorship that today fans consider ‘Ken le survivant’ (the french title) to be a work in its own right, appreciated precisely for its goofiness. The Rose de Versailles suffered a similar fate with an adaptation that did not aim to remain faithful to the original work, but rather simply sought to make the animated series suitable for a child audience.

Not to introduce the concept of trans identity to children per se but cunningly sell the idea that having a transgender person, operating undercover, at the head of the state, being normal. A programmation of the unconscious of those who will vote 30 years later.

A sloppy adaptation is a thing, changing the framework is another one. And the documentary mention this: "In a rare move, at least for a series of animations, Nadine Gastaldi, heritage curator and archivist, was called in to correct the dialogue on French history."

Nadine Gastaldi

So they definitely took some care about this one. And in the beginning of the documentary, it's said that the budget involved for the original production by the Japanese studio was way above the standard, they wanted to do a major production. So I guess they did not sell it to the French for a bite of bread.
 

President Macron Drops 22-Count Defamation Lawsuit on Candace Owens

So their scare tactics against Candace failed. As Macron said, "Je ne dirais pas que c'est un échec, cela n'a pas marché" (I wouldn't say it's a failure, it just didn't work out.)
It looks like the heading is misleading, or it seems so to me. "Dropping" a lawsuit usually means withdrawing from it, or changing your mind in regards to pursuing it. This heading seems to be trying to suggest that "dropping" a lawsuit is more like dropping a bomb on someone.

No doubt, we'll all find out on the Monday (in the US) when Candace tells us all what the heck they're up to (if anything). Part of the problem that Macron and Brigite face is that Candace tells the truth.
 
Where does it end? 🤦‍♂️
According to internet whole host of celebrities are trans men - the list includes
Cher, Gena Davis, Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock. Come to think of it something does seem off with all of them.
Don’t want to divert this thread but it seems Michael Obama and Jean Michel Macron are just a tip of the iceberg.

Back to Brigitte:
Here is the recent video debunking claims made by Candace Owens, probably damage control but I have a few questions.
I haven’t had the time to watch whole Owens’ series - how does she explain the daughter and the wedding photo from Brigitte’s first marriage shown in this video? There are some earlier photos of Brigitte we haven’t seen before - or are they real?

Candace literally takes each and every one of those photos on in great detail. Including the wedding and communion photos. But I’m not going to transcribe entire episodes. You should just watch the series. I’ll give you an example though: The communion photo was the subject of one of the lawsuits filed by the Macrons previously. However the suit was filed not on the claim made that it was misrepresentated, but rather that the defendant claimed it was colorized, which it was not. These are the only ticky tack sort of things that they dare actually have litigated. They will not simply say yes to the basic question, which was asked in a response to the legal letter sent to Owens, “Is the girl pictured sitting upon the man’s knee in the family photo the current wife of the French President?”. Simply answering “Yes” would’ve stopped Candace from continuing, in her own words.
