  1. This "Link should be a girl" thing is probably the dumbest manufactured controversy I've seen ever? I bet if I started a "Samus should be a dude" campaign people would soil themselves with rage.

    1. @ceruleanspark My thoughts exactly. I'm all for progressive stuff but these demands are ridiculous. Transgender Mario, asexual Bayonetta, feminine Kratos... are equally stupid ideas. These are not what they are known for.

      1. @adiwan What are they known for ? I guess to each their own I am sure. To me people like Mario are known for 'good platformer games by nintendo'. Kratos is known for 'spectacle fighter where you rip&tear gods' and Bayonetta, well I actually got nothing on her due to never playing those games myself. But lets focus on Mario and Kratos. I doubt many gamers who actually play games to be entertained think very different. Right ?

        1. @critialcloudkicker Well... Mario had many women in his life: Pauline, Princess Peach, Princess Toadstool, Rosalina. He's a skirt chaser and animal abuser (Donkey Kong, Yoshi, stomping turtles). Kratos is macho masculinity incarnate.

          1. @adiwan Well, if you must go that route. Mario is probably a dangerous psychopath and maybe a communist too. As for Kratos, he might be a pinnacle of masculinity but everytime he goes down with the ladies it seems as though they are 100% into it and he is for the remaining 0% ( almost as if that health upgrade was the proverbial carrot on a stick to lure Kratos into doing the dirty deed with these woman ). ... But by merely stating that I feel like I have somehow dirtied myself to the point of regressive left tumblerisms and I need to take a shower.

    2. @ceruleanspark That already happened, sort of. http://www.themarysue.com/metroids-samus-aran-transgender-woman and the whole follow up is an excelent example of how "people with special interest" just love to stir up a random controversy and then stab each-other in the back just as soon as it becomes apparent that someone needs to take the fall for it... You'd be better off drawing a certain Italian plumber as a woman while doing actual plumbing work if self-soiling is your ultimate goal

    3. @ceruleanspark Kratos should be a girl, but only if the outfit remains the same.
      and before someone pulls the sexist card, there's a lot more boobs in that game already

      1. @zennx Well you're just a charming fellow aren't you?

        Friday, 17-Jun-16 07:38:33 UTC from web
        1. @pandathehedgehog oh, I am charming, am also an asshole,
          and I'm currently high on painkillers
          and I've blown my nose 3 times since I started writing this
          ...I hate summer flu T_T

          Friday, 17-Jun-16 07:53:32 UTC from web
          1. @zennx Charming asshoel huh? I like that, let's be buddy pals.

            Friday, 17-Jun-16 07:56:22 UTC from web
            1. @pandathehedgehog yey, new friend

              Friday, 17-Jun-16 08:03:27 UTC from web
              1. @zennx so what are you up to, buddy chum

                Friday, 17-Jun-16 08:03:53 UTC from web
                1. @pandathehedgehog I'm waiting for my sister to finish making some chicken soup
                  sickness benefits

                  Friday, 17-Jun-16 08:14:24 UTC from web
                  1. @zennx man, having people make you soup is the best. Almost makes it worth being sick.

                    Friday, 17-Jun-16 08:19:11 UTC from web
                    1. @pandathehedgehog I am willing to bring you chickensoup everytime you feel sick, neigh, anyday at anytime and anyhow, even with a straw or stupid requests like that. If you are going to take over any and all possible sniffles I may have now and possibly get in the future.

                      Sounds like a real good deal to me :+

                      1. @critialcloudkicker that's the deal I have with my sister

                        also, just ate the chicken soup
                        10/10

                        1. @zennx Awesome, you're lucky. I probably get food poisoning if my sister made me chicken soup. Now try getting some chicken soup with a straw :)

                          1. @critialcloudkicker that's my little sister right there, she inherited her cooking inabilities from our mom
                            when we were 6 we saw mom CARBONIZE spaghetti
                            HOW DOES ONE EVEN DO THAT?

                            Friday, 17-Jun-16 08:52:25 UTC from web
                            1. @zennx ... When your little sister was 6 she learned how to conserve substances into carbon ? Keep an eye on that one, she might grow up to be an evil genius and/or make a death star.

                              Friday, 17-Jun-16 08:56:49 UTC from web
                              1. @critialcloudkicker when we were six my little sister could even stand yet

                                but yes, she's definitely an evil genius in the making
                                In fact when I become the ruler of the world she'll be my chief inquisitor

                                Friday, 17-Jun-16 09:00:36 UTC from web
                                1. @zennx ... I just realized it is probably spaghetti carbonara, which is arguably more impressive, but partially only because I actually know how you can do that. ( Carbonara can be loosely translated from Italian into "Bacon and Eggs" )

                                  Friday, 17-Jun-16 09:03:28 UTC from web
                                  1. @critialcloudkicker no, she just put half a bad of spaghetti in boiling water
                                    10mins later it was coal

                                    Friday, 17-Jun-16 09:05:30 UTC from web
                                    1. @zennx Unless if your stove is a jet-fighter engine I doubt 10 minutes will be enough to evaporate a pan/kettle of water XD. But yes, sounds evil enough :)

                                      Friday, 17-Jun-16 09:10:27 UTC from web
                                      1. @critialcloudkicker she just wanted to make lunch
                                        our mom has the reverse-midas touch when it comes to making food
                                        I'm pretty sure that there's a 50% she'll mess up bread and butter

                                        Friday, 17-Jun-16 09:13:08 UTC from web
                      2. @critialcloudkicker honestly seems like a good deal

                        Friday, 17-Jun-16 09:02:17 UTC from web
                  2. @zennx Delivery in 20 minutes or less, or the next one is on the house. ... But you probably already finished it at this point, no ?

    4. @ceruleanspark It started because Eajy Aonuma said "Who says this androgynous character in this reveal trailer is Link?" which he later designated "a lie".
