I think you’re misunderstanding the argument a little bit, though that’s partially because the clip doesn’t go too deeply into theory of whiteness and stuff like that.

The problem is that the vast majority of Trans representation in the game is heavily sexualized and revolves around genitalia and other physical characteristics.

Glad I’m not the only one who had missing words lol

Mario 3D World is peak IDGAF-if-it-makes-sense Nintendo. They really took advantage of the enclosed levels by making them all so different, it’s definitely a successor to Galaxy 2 in that regard.

Agreed, paying full price is what really stopped me from getting MK8D and what will stop me from getting this. (Especially with MK8, where I paid for the game AND DLC on Wii U.) I’d even be more inclined if it was $50, but...

yeah that’s exactly what i said

Yep. This is America, and it’s how it’s been for the past six to eight years at minimum. And things will only get worse.

I generally agree about mounting cloud drives, but OneDrive just takes all the friction out of it. My user directory is on OneDrive and it's made my life so much easier.

I know you mentioned OneDrive in the first point, but I think it deserves its own bullet because it’s completely baked into Windows and File Explorer.

wowwwwwwww

if you’ve always been hungry, you don’t know how much food it might take to feel full, because you don’t know what “full” even means. doesn’t mean you aren’t hungry.

I’ve talked to some people who were in love with it when they beat it, but liked it less and less as they thought about it afterwards... And the interesting this is multiple people described a sort of misattribution of arousal. Like, they knew they felt some kind of strong emotion after everything was over, and they…

I dunno. It definitely reflects his privilege and total misunderstanding of power structures, but it tracks with the tons of white liberals I’ve met who genuinely think using slurs can be a form of allyship. It’s amazing how privilege can completely override logic.

I mean... It’s easy to say “reasonable people understood” he was exaggerating, but you can’t blame people for thinking he was an abusive parent when he sounded *exactly* like an abusive parent. It didn’t sound like a joke or a parody—everything he said is exactly what an abusive parent would say, and how they would…

Also, he managed to break the ultimate 4th wall and become Mario’s boss:
