Yum. This totally makes me moist.

Sasha would still only give Shadis 1/3 of it and call it half.

It shouldn't matter. In the 21st century, we shouldn't even be having this discussion. However, in the West, homosexuality isn't just met with mild disapproval for those who don't like it. It is met with hate and scorn, an affront to some personal god. In Japan, while homosexuality isn't necessarily approved of, it…

1. I know that in the game, only certain actions can be performed by opposite-sex characters, such as flirting and getting married. If your character is the same sex as the other character, these options are closed to you. Why would "tons of scenarios" need to be added in order to allow existing characters to do…

Most likely, Nintendo didn't add same-sex marriage simply because it was an afterthought. The whole "cultural tolerance" speech that we hear from age 3 isn't really given at all in Japan. The nail that sticks out gets hammered down, as the Japanese say.

Their original message basically said:

I have seen old people make their Miis old. Little kids who have made their Miis kids.

To be clear, marriage is a right. Some rights are rights that you are born with and are not written down (such as the right to privacy).

Japan is a very conservative nation. Things that go outside the social norm aren't tolerated very well. Homosexuality is one of those things. Video games, manga, and anime are not a very good representation of Japanese LGBT views. People are much more comfortable with looking at a drawing than seeing something in…

Kinda.

The tagline for the game is "Your Friends. Your Drama. Your Life". It should come as no surprise that some people want to play as themselves.

The LGBT scene in Japan is not exactly...positive. There is a national ban on same-sex marriage and LGBT people have no legal protections whatsoever when it comes to discrimination.

I can't speak for everybody, but the wording in the petition didn't seem negative, as if they thought Nintendo was overlooking LGBT people on purpose. It was a request, nothing more.

"Tons of scenarios"? Are LGBT people somehow...different from straight people? We don't need extra scenarios. As I mentioned in a previous article, since this game is about having various relationships, you can have same-sex best friends. So what is the problem with taking it that one extra step further?

Being vocal is the only way people will listen to us.

Manaphy is definitely a legendary. Everyone agrees on that one. The issue is Phione, since he can only be obtained via breeding and can continue to breed thereafter.

This is better?

I'm an original Pokemon fan. I played Pokemon Red, saw the first movie in theaters (still have the promo card) and even collected the Burger King Pokemon toys. I still have a Dragonite keychain...that I got in a kid's meal....when I was freaking 9.

Well...yeah. That whole twitterpated thing...remember? With Faline?

Something tells me his "infamous cole slaw" is not made with mayo....
