I don’t think Nintendo has ever implicitly nor explicitly claimed that, I’m not sure being a plumber is an Italian stereotype either. I'm not here to play racism contests either, why can't we just admit this was fair to have been removed and move on?

And I don’t have to be an SJW to know the reverse outrage is pointless and dumb as well :)

You’re ignoring a lot of context. Doc Louis and Mario, while stereotypical, are not nearly as degrading nor offensive as the “savages coming to burn down your fort” you get with the Game and Watch bit.

inb4 Gamergaters start complaining about SJWs ruining their games

Oh boy, now we get an immediate contrast to all the stuff they retconned in WoW

Sakurai already said they’re not going full-blown Subspace Emissary. World of Light basically looks like a contextualized Event Mode to me.

Simon was the only character I’ve wanted in Smash since Brawl announced it would have Snake, and I’m ecstatic that we get Richter, too. Alucard would have made a great fit, but it’s probably for the best that he’s an assist trophy instead

There’s a fuck ton “new” here, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Just because there are only 16 new characters (including echoes and dlc) doesn’t mean there isn’t a ton of other shit packed in here.

Boo-Hoo, there’s only 75 confirmed characters in the game. What will we ever do?

It’s fun to speculate, and it seems to be all in good fun for the most part, but some people seem to be taking this way too seriously

Oh that makes sense. I could also be using the word somewhat incorrectly.

Look, I don’t have the answers, but the bigger problem is trans people being abused in the prison system. You’re so concerned with a made-up idea of men pretending to be trans to be put into a women’s prison when the reality is that there are already restrictions in place that prevent that from happening.

Yeah, I never said the social construct of gender doesn’t have a basis or that I don’t get why it exists, I said it’s arbitrary, so I don’t think it really needs to exist as it traditionally has in modern society. If you take anything you might define as masculine or feminine (that’s not medically relevant), you could…

I was mostly talking about the broader conversation about the current situation and the hashtag itself. Sorry I wasn’t clear about that.

Nobody is denying any of that and you’re a fool for thinking we are.

If you think society hasn’t gendered things in that way then you’re blind or stupid. Gender is, and always has been, a social construct. Sure, it’s a biological one too, but the way it has separated people into categories is social.

Yeah, no. Overpopulation is a fact but I just think we should slow the fuck down. I shouldn't even have to tell you this, you brought up genocide, not me.

Who cares? I’m not agender because it has backing in science, I’m agender because I think gender is not relevant in the big picture.

that’s how I say it, and honestly most people don’t get confused because nobody really says “I’m a gender!” XD

*shrug*
If you actually look, you’ll find that stereotypes for either gender are pretty untrue. Men can have emotions, don’t have to love sports or physical things, just as women don’t have to love being in dresses or wearing earrings. If you think that’s absurd I’m sorry your worldview is so narrow.
