The article doesn’t even say don’t wash your legs, it says focus on the dirtiest parts and wash the rest according to your level of activity. So if your level of activity is more than zero, you have to wash your legs more than zero. Your logic is like a trump supporter — I don’t like something, so I can just pretend…

You get in the shower, you scrub (scrub!) everything down, from head to toe

K, but calling Sip a “filthy animal” is definitely trying to make Sip feel bad, right? Why do all these conversations turn into the pube discussion all over again. I’m never touching Sip’s legs, Sip’s legs have literally no impact on my life. Worrying about whether someone who isn’t you has dirty legs or not seems…

“Nasty” is all in your head.

What you’re describing sounds more like a psychological condition than a bathing routine.

Look man, I don’t care what you do. Live in the shower full time for all I care. Use the stiffest most abrasive loofah you can find. You do you.

LOL, you are reading way too much into this if you somehow came to the conclusion that I hated female main characters because I don’t cross-dress. I don’t even know how you made that jump, but after seeing your response to Orannano, maybe you have some issues of your own to work out.

It’s not about fear of being girly - or fear of losing masculinity. That is actually an extremely rude comment to men everywhere. Is it wrong to not like it that my Pokemon is in a dress? No. I have my tastes and he has his. And so do you. I just like my Pokemon strong, big and scary-looking, like I always have. I’m a…

Nice comment. A breath of fresh air for once, after reading endless strings of comment from a conceited community.

My God, why is this an article? I mean I get that you’re paid to write fluff pieces, but this is pretty bad. I mean who cares? It looks like a girl. So did Braxien, so did Gardevoir, so did Gothitelle. “People don’t like design of new Pokémon, more at 11.” No one ever writes articles about Garbodor, and they’re pretty…

Would he be less awesome is definitely arguable. I would definitely refuse to play a game where a male was dressed up as a girl for no reason. Cross-dressing is amusing, but short lived for me. If Pikachu were running around in a dress with Ash the entire show, I wouldn’t watch it. If Cloud put on the dress in Wall…

Oh wonderful, now we’ve gotten to the transparent virtue signalling part of the discussion. Pokemon designs are supposed, and designed to evoke certain cultural and mythological archetypes even if they are not literally representative. That means the imagery they use matters to how well their design works. There’s a…

Seems odd that the more accepting “side” is often the one delivering the harsher judgements and labels.

I’m sorry people of the world, but since Mr Mime exists all your arguments are fucking invalid.

I thought you were being snarky, so I replied in kind. Then you took it up a notch. I think I’ll leave it at snarky.

I have no idea what that last sentence was supposed to mean. The point of it bieng fictional is that it is bad character design. Like how wiscash LOOKS like a water electic type but is water ground.Aspects of the character that should match up, don’t. When you add human gender signals to characters in a game and then…

“You guys do realize you are playing a video game primarly marketed at children, right?”

Jesus, look at all the comments on here so quick to jump on all these people calling them “bigots” and “misogynists”.

I am really learning to just stay away from these types of stories anymore. I don’t even know why what the “Internet” thinks is newsworthy.

This has been an issue since gen 2 added gender to pokemon. Machoke really should be only male or have some sexual dimophism. Fennekin’s entire line is meant to invoke witches, so a male Delphox or Braixen just feels off.
