Also this fellow made a response to Yong's video, now claiming it off as Vapor Snake or whatever, furthering the fanwankery.

It's sad enough that this Gray Fox being Fake Snake theory is actually believed by so many. I am sort of in the middle of both - they are suggesting that Gray Fox = Ishmael = Big Boss, while I strongly doubt GF = Ishmael, I think the possibility of Ishmael = BB still remains open.

I am not going to detail the GF part as it seems pretty obvious, but for Ishmael = BB, I think we can draw on what we learned so far, the first being they both have the same voice actor, the other is Kojima's comment on MGSV having similarity to MGS2. Remember I am not saying that Ishmael is certainly BB, but then given their voice acting and a switch of main character in MGS2, I would not rule out this possibility yet.

Some say that Ishmael and the hospital sequence are altogether an illusion, which I agree such possibility exists, but what complicates our guesses are the presence of a Pyscho Mantis look-alike, who as we know, can do a wide range of things in the psychic realm.

Anyway, if I did not miss out something, the question should probably go back to - who exactly is Ishmael?
