Hello, gay Bowser
It's, "So long, gay Bowser!"
We are all Mr Gay!
I am ALL gay on this blessed day :-)
Hey nintendo, your rainbow capitalism does not excuse your anti consumer behavior and general shittiness towards your biggest fans.
i could almost forgive them if they fully animated mario with the suit declaring he accepts gays and voiced by charles martinet with a speech of around an hour long
of course nintendo would support the gays, gay luigi has been an open secret for years
How nice of the princess
Nintendo can fuck off with this ploy. They've sued the living shit out of anyone and everyone, including people just opshop selling retro Nintendo games and consoles; leading to hatred and disgust by, once avid, Nintendo gamers and fans; and now, suddenly, they love the gays? Fuck that lie up their money shitting shitter hole!
I get it, I also agree Nintendo is an awful, greedy corporation that happens to make fun games from time to time. However, this is a pretty big deal in Japan. For a company to openly support a still quite socially, culturally taboo topic there, is pretty crazy to see.
Anyway, I guess my point is, if they're condoning and supporting the advancement of civil rights for a stigmatized demographic, I think that's important, even if the company is still a shitty, greedy husk.
They're only doing this because public opinion has already shifted towards acceptance of LGBT people.
True. Rainbow capitalism is still capitalism and only done to get more money, BUT look at the US right now and how much it sucks for the LGBTQI+ community. If the decision is between rainbow capitalism and capitalism that dosn't even pretend to care, rainbow capitalism is the better choice.
pirating nintendo games somehow feels extra good now
Bilking customers to make money line go up = hating gays?
Look at the roster of F-ZERO GX and tell me there aren't at least half a dozen LGBTQ reps among them
Mr. Gay Men Watch
It's nice to see a household-name company standing up to a stupid conservative stance taken by their government, especially as a USian who was a nintendo kid.
It doesn't make the soulless corporation GOOD (and I see they are getting the hate they're due) but it's still nice to see.
Just go FUCK YOURSELF, Nintendo
probably the gayest thing you're capable of

I just realised Mario’s moustache goes far beyond his mouth.
It's a classic cartoonish exaggeration. Nobody has that nose shape either.
So when are they going to stop deadnaming Birdetta?
I lean over to loudly whisper at a bunch of shitty conservative businessmen in expensive suits - I heard it was gay to wear a business suit.
It took me far too long to realize this tweet was about an actual suit and not some tanooki style gay powerup
