Anything about this theory is straw grasping because the theory was nothing more then a joke, there are no hints, only wishful thinking by people who idiotically keep supporting the theory. Can anyone even trace where the theory started to prove it was a joke? From what I remember, Stefanie was vague in her statements about the theory. She said something along the lines of "Chico is a male, and Quiet is a female". If you're familiar with the transgender community, they tend to want to be referred to as the gender they believe themselves to be.

Judging by some of the comments here, it sounds like some people are transphobic. What is sick and perverted about being transgender, or wanting to see transgender characters in video games and other media? Granted, turning Chico female because he was abused isn't exactly the most sensitive way to portray sex change...

I'm not even concerned about this theory. What I've been saying, which no one can seem to refute, is that we don't know what happened to Chico beyond one or two lines of dialogue. Venom doesn't hallucinate Chico like he did with Paz. There's no flashback cutscene or anything. It all seems suspect to me, that a character so built up in two previous games, gets no closure other than a passing comment. Characters haven't been this poorly written out of the franchise since the MSX era.
