Is it really that foreign a concept though?

Eh, I think Salmon Run is fine as it is, same with the map rotations (although I wouldn’t mind having 3 maps every 3 hours instead once there are more maps to play on). It bring a sense of occasion to the mode.

I completely agree and I apologize. As a clarification I like being mean to bullies and people who put others down for no reason. I don’t like being mean for the sake of being mean that would be cynical. I feel that they need a taste of what they do to others as you learn more through experience. I’m also far from…

I know this is going to sound strange to you, but there are in fact LGBT kids. There are LGBT kids that are posting positive messages, and there are LGBT kids that need positive messages. Oh and you are in fact a bad person. Not because of that, but because of the white supremacy stuff you said.

For the record, I don’t support any of those comments you made

Wait, you think people can’t find emotional support from online communities? Is this your first day on the internet or something?

Yeah I mean...god forbid LGBT folks attempt to celebrate who they are in the face of people constantly telling them they’re broken, sick, or wrong. Unless you live it, you can’t know it. It will always just be an “annoyance” to you - but man, positivity is something the LGBT community needs - suicide rates amongst…

Shockingly, there are children that happen to identify as any number of things on the LGBTQ spectrum and them possibly seeing people on the Splatoon community celebrating those identities? I dunno, it might make them not hate themselves for being different. I know it certainly would have been really nice to see when I…

This is a children’s game.

I appreciate your response and I agree. I have close family that’s gay and I’ve seen how hard it can be.

There’s nobody mucking anything up. There’s nothing to worry about. Do you think exposing children to trans positivity is bad? Then congratulations, you’re part of the problem.

Considering that “one post” (now two) amounts to “I’m tired of seeing how proud gay/trans people are of themselves”, then yes. Yes I am. I’ll repeat: if you really didn’t have a problem with gay/trans people existing and being open about it, you wouldn’t be complaining about it now.

I was so happy and proud to see all these signs the other day. I don’t even care why they started or if the kids are just messing around, it was flat-out amazing to see so many people welcoming NB and trans players. This is the first time I’ve ever seen so many people being supportive of us outside of a secluded NB…

Well THIS Social Justice Wario knows what game to buy next.

The Splatoon community is amazing. I love seeing all the new art every time I play.

This is gold. Fuck bigots.

Full disclosure I’ve been already considering buying Splatoon 2 (never owned the first) - mostly been waiting on a good sale or deal on it.

This post though may have just sold me on Splatoon 2 even if I weren’t already considering it.

No, but it does add up.

Thank you, so much, for this article. I’m one of those black nerds who comes to Kotaku often to escape the absolute insanity of the country I live in, but I’m also one of those black citizens desperately searching for some way to make some kind of difference in the world. I want to do SOMETHING to improve this, but…

Now to wait for the “I’m not a racist but” burners and comments who’ll bang on about the 1st even though they clearly have no fucking idea what it actually means.
