So you're a bigot then.

As it turns out, I rather prefer it.

It was just a small part of Fire Emblem, and that bothered me something mighty. I won't be playing Tomodachi Life.

No, you made this about the entire gay rights movement being oversensitive, and then he used Frederick Douglass in response.

Nintendo CHOSE to apologize. They didn't have to do shit. They responded tothe pressure either because they legitimately agreed they made the mistake, or because they didn't want this to impact sales. Both are good fucking reasons, if you ask me.

Nintendo and other publishers will edit content for localizations. Sometimes it's for the sake of cultural understanding, sometimes it's for other reasons. It's not beyond the pale to expect that a localization of a Japanese game minds the audience of the country that's receiving it.

This is smart, and deserves more attention.

If your only deal is discomfort, the only fix for that really is to get over it. Just expose yourself to it with an open mind, deal with the difficult feelings, then bam, it aint even a thang anymore.

And this, right here, is why I'm glad you write for Kotaku. The comments here prove it: we need more progressive voices in video games like you.

Yes, Sahara and Gracie and Vivian and Birdo. The funny thing is that Nintendo is poised and ready to embrace queerness with its characters more so than many Japanese companies, but just doesn't.

Actually, Patricia raised a fuss about that in her article when she mentioned her queer friends that she had to fudge to include.

Break would be an awesome time for you TAY people to put up some oldies. Just sayin'.

it's not about 'being offended," it's about holding people accountable for supporting a fucked up society.

Dwarf Therapist just makes it playable. It's still unwieldy and irritating. If DF wasnt so damn great, I wouldn't bother.

Say what you will about the main character's look, but I am in love with this.

30) Tear (Tales of the Abyss) 29) Elize (Tales of Xillia 2) 28) Richard (Tales of Graces) 27) Gaius (Tales of Xillia 2) 26) Colette (Tales of Symphonia) 25) Kongwai (Tales of Innocence R) 24) Cheria (Tales of Graces) 23) Estelle (Tales of Vesperia) 22) Leia (Tales of Xillia 2) 21) Reid (Tales of Eternia) 20) Reala…

I've gotten the hang of it, and I still notice at times. It can be frustrating to find out why Dwarves are dying and how to fix it, and managing a military is a major pain.

Naw, man, I really like Thwomp Ruins. Really, there aren't many new tracks I don't like (bome of the retro tracks, OTOH, I am not fond of... Toad's Turnpike. ugh.)

This is way better. She nails more than 7.

Yasssssss, Sunshine Airport is the shiiitttttt.
