i'm gonna make a game that's just a character creator. it's gonna be the most intricately designed creator ever, tons of menus and options, but it will be impossible to make a white straight cisgender man. If you try, you'll get error messages or like a little Clippy assistant pops up and makes changes for you. The game wouldn't tell you what's happening or why. Also if by some miracle you do manage to thread a needle I didn't account for and somehow make a cis-het man, the main game starts and all NPCs are queer and all they do is quiz you about Xi Jinping thought. And if you fail it boots you back to the main menu and you have to read 20 pages of yaoi before continuing. And the game is gonna be called something like "The Antidote to Wokeness"

Character Creation Simulator would do well on steam

Saints Row 4 Inauguration Station

[–] BobDole@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I spent a lot of hours on that tbh. Same with the one for SR5 and I never played the actual game.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

the saints row reboot is awful by all accounts so you didn't miss anything

Birdo, Zelda/Sheik, Gracie, Sasha, a number of Fire Emblem characters. Nintendo has been doing this for a while now

And are we forgetting the nonbinary icon? I think the average CHUD would blow a gasket how Mewtwo was pretty based and not punished enough for it in Mewtwo: strikes back

Speaking of Pokemon there was a gay character of the day in the anime and a transmasc character in the manga, both in the 90s.

James had inflatable breasts as part of his disguise once. Episode never aired in North America.

Birdo

She goes by birdette, iirc!

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

IIRC she mentions in a later game that she uses Birdo

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

Okie! I hadn't played that one

Boy for being capitalist ride or die, these bozos do not understand how demographics work and why major corporations like Nintendo would want to appeal to them.

[–] segfault11@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

if capitalists do something i disagree with or don’t understand, it’s actually because they were deceived by wokes

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 23 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Surprised nintendo is doing this, I thought a part of their "non-controversial" "family" image would mean they wouldn't want to include things like this or gay marriage in a game. Though they probably recognise that approximately 0% of the CHUDs complaining about this were ever going to buy the game.

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 29 points 2 days ago

It’s a bit the other way around. There was complaints from players of the prior Tomodachi game about the lack of same-sex relationships (I think it might have been possible in an early version of the game but got patched out). People were like “I want to put my gay friends on my island but then they end up in heterosexual relationships.” So Nintendo promised to make the next game more inclusive in order to satisfy the players.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago

They want money and Nintendo fans are gay

[–] RondoRevolution@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

As far as I know Nintendo tend to be very progressive in these cases, to this day it recognizes gay marriage, even if Japan doesn't.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 26 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It’s really weird how they get tilted over something so ignorable. They don’t even leave the house so it’s not like they’re running into queer spaces regularly

[–] godisidog@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Any time I meet a transphobe irl I’ll ask them how many trans people they actually know or interact with and the answer is always zero.

Doesn’t ever make them reconsider anything but it does make them look dumb to anyone listening. I can’t imagine getting so upset about something that has zero bearing on my life.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago

They may find out that trans people are just kinda...people. its kinda boring when you really meet em. If you've met people.befoee you already have the essential experience, its not a big deal.

[–] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

"It's over" because there is an option in a game that he won't use (if he would even play a game like Tamadachi Life)

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

It's over

What is "it"?

[–] segfault11@hexbear.net 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

i thought all the edgy people decided that nintendo is for gays during the wii era

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 20 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Letting the bros into gaming was the worst mistake for the community. Yes, anime and vidya should be for the outcasts.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago

The internet ruined subculture in genersl.

[–] invo_rt@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

anime and vidya should be for the outcasts.

Also the furry fandom. We've had too many bros, chuds, and influencer-types move in. COVID accelerated all of that to an unmanageable degree.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

As much as I hate this is the case because I genuinely love sharing my interests with others, being "cringe" is so far the best way to repel gentrifiers.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If I had to pick the gayest console manufacturing company it would for sure be Nintendo bt a massive margin. No shade, but let's be real here.

[–] segfault11@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

freeman-true but sega is the most trans (i won’t explain)

[–] WokePalpitoad@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

NiGHTS is cannonically non-binary because they wanted people to relate to them equally.

[–] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago

You don't need to explain, I kinda understand on a deeper level somehow
