belger: haggar will you do something about the immigrant poverty in this city i grew up nearly homeless when my mom and dad immigrated

haggar: yeah yeah i'll get to it

belger: haggar can you do something about the poor life quality for people with disabilities in this city because even i'm starting to go insane

haggar: yeah yeah i'll get to it

belger: haggar i know you said metro city is the city of opportunity but i know two trans girl orphans who literally have to do really unspeakable things so they can get hormones can you PLEASE do something about the homeless trans minors

haggar: yeah yeah i'll get to it

belger, getting in his powerchair and writing a ransom note, on his way to kidnap jessica: if they can’t do anything right you might as well do something yourself

#I'M SORRY I'M READING JAPANESE LORE ON BELGER AND...HOLY SHIT BELGER WAS RIGHT #(the author of the lore guide did NOT mention disability injustice nor did they mention poison and roxy having to be exploited to transition #BUT...the author of this guide with information from japan said belger grew up poor and was likely ACTUALLY disabled so like.#like apparently the american version where he can ACTUALLY walk? censorship #though honestly it'd make sense for him to be in a wheelchair even if he could walk #not because of capcom of usa's reasoning that he's 'lazy' but because ambulatory wheelchair users exist #...final fight is NOT a well aged game in hindsight #like the concept of playing as three men (two of whom are white and models of hegemonic masculinity) beating up poor people minorities and #trans people is like...so. fucked up #and the fact that the Evil Villain who kidnapped jessica is a disabled man who likely grew up a poor immigrant. i hate capcom a lot
