00:00Kainé in Nier is one of the most striking intersex characters in video games.
00:04I make videos about movies and TV series, but this time we're going to talk about video games.
00:08and the representation of the LGBTQIA+ community, so subscribe.
00:13Kainé is a brutal, vulgar, solitary character, but also deeply wounded.
00:18Her story is important because it's not just about monsters or magic,
00:22She talks about how others see her.
00:24In her childhood, Kainé was rejected and harassed because she was intersex.
00:28Her very feminine style is not just an aesthetic choice,
00:31It's also a way to regain control over one's image.
00:34She was viewed as an anomaly.
00:36She replies no, I'm the one who decides how I exist.
00:39What makes her strong is not that she is perfect,
00:41It's that she is angry, contradictory, sometimes violent, but never reduced to her biology.
00:46And this is extremely important because in a medium where intersex bodies are extremely rare,
00:51Kainé remains a significant character, and it's not because she represents everyone.
00:55But that's because it exists with real complexity.
00:58Let me know in the comments if you knew this, and most importantly, subscribe!
