“yeah we can always tell when someone is ‘a trans’. they’re not fooling anyone”

literally says SHE looks like an elf, implying she’d make a great zelda

hours later learns she’s trans

“actually thats a man”

      That’s not just what I think, that’s a fact. I’ve seen enough actual criticism of some of these games and shows to know for a fact that every single time, the peoples who go on and on about how it’s woke and DEI’s fault if this show or that game are bad are systematically ignoring massive and often very obvious actual problems with it so they can claim that the biggest problem is including minority characters.

          If some Nintendo executive sees even a dust of some political bullshit that will affect the product, they would pull the plug. They don’t want to resolve your cultural problems, they want to make money.

          You mean the Nintendo that put a trans woman in Thousand Year Door? Guess having trans characters doesn’t ruin profits and you’ll have to find some other excuse for your thinly veiled bigotry.

              Yep. That’s why there are infamous flops such as Undertale and Celeste. That little purple trans ghost? Guess how Mario made Nintendo so unprofitable they couldn’t even release a sequel to the Switch. And man, those poor guys at the Last of Us who made no money on any of the games or the streaming series. Damn. If only people supported woke artists? But less sarcastically, have you noticed how games that “avoid politics” are often dull and uninspiring? Whoop de doo, Call of Duty 5,396. Such innovative gameplay. And the people who stick to those games and avoid anything woke? We call them… bigots. Calling out examples that make you look good is easy. Try taking a stand for marginalized people next. It’s harder and more rewarding.
