Edit: 500 notes! Wow, thanks everybody. I loved making this piece because each character is so unique. The world of indie games is so full of life. Keep creating. 😀
i saw a post on reddit the other day saying the smash codec calls/palutena’s guidance should be replaced with the NME salesman talking to Dedede about whoever he’s fighting and honestly that is such a superb idea
“HEY THERE NOW, HOW’S THIS FLAT LIL’ FELLA GONNA CLOBBER KIRBY?”
“Well Triple D, that’s Mr. Game and Watch! This formidable foe from the flat zone may look a little stiff, but he’s no stranger to fighting!”
“It’s a good thing we got a flat rate on this guy.”
99.9% of the time nonbinary identities are ignored and the only two genders used are male and female
they imply that in order for someone to be a certain gender, their body has to change to fit it (i.e., a character can’t go from male to female without having wider hips and breasts)
they imply physical characteristics = gender
all of the above are examples of cissexism, which perpetuates the marginalization and erasure of trans people
stop arguing with trans people about whether genderbends are transphobic or not, especially if you’re cis
i see your death of the author and raise you: death of the fandom, for when other fans and the content they produce are so unbearably bad that you divorce yourself entirely from the fanbase except for one or two Trusted Mutuals™️
While we’re on the topic of Bowsette the idea of putting on a crown and instantly turning into an attractive girl is a huge trans mood btw just putting that out there
