  • This was planned to be out in June but of course I missed my self-imposed deadline, oh well. I like talking about this sort of thing with my friends so I figured I should dump all of that into a video. I actually really enjoyed editing this and want to do more content like it. Apologies if the microphone placement irritates people, it definitely started to irk me after a while so next time I'll be more aware of it, haha. Please check out all the links below, especially those of the people who read lines, I really appreciate them.

    Baldam is just coping that Vivian is adorable and she isn't.

    I enjoyed the little bit of voice acting I got to do. 🥰

    Also worth mentioning, apparently in the original translation, Beauty Nova says she used to be a "Karate king" or something to that effect, something more explicitly male with King in the title, and i believe then goes on to mention how wonderful the power of science is.

    Splatoon recently has had some some really fun and pretty damn blatant queer representation. The character Acht uses they/them pronouns (with no weird lore explanations to make it seem out of their control), and the idols Pearl and Marina are just BLATANTLY flirting in the elevator, with Marina especially constantly gushing about how cool and cute Pearl is.

    Not talking about Fire Emblem in a video about queer Nintendo is like talking about Nintendo platformers without mentioning Mario. Bold but understandable 😅😂

    If you ever make a sequel to this video you've gotta mention Splatoon's Off the Hook, I love those gay cephalopods so much

    i saw the thumbnail and thought it would be funny to comment "wow... no tony from earthbound... dissapointing." but no he is here!

    hey, if you haven't seen it, itoi himself said in an interview that tony was meant to be gay :) the segment about tony is pretty short (and doesn't mention him by name) but i've always thought it was pretty sweet. i don't think youtube likes links in comments very much but hopefully you can find it and read it!! he's said a lot of interesting stuff about the development of the series in general lol

    Bro I’m surprised I was recommended this given that you somehow only have 60 subscribers, content is quality and you definitely deserve more subs

    About Birdo in the '80s sure, Nintendo of America may have been against the trans history of the character.

    In Xenoblade Chronicles 3, there's a character you meet roughly midway through the game called Juniper. Anyone who talks about Juniper - whether that be characters in your party or NPCs - uses they/them pronouns when referring to them. This means Juniper is an openly non-binary person. And while they're not directly relevant to the main overarching story, they do provide the party with a unique field ability required to progress within the game, alongside being one of the many Heroes in the game (non-controllable 7th party member basically).

    Love this vid and the idea behind it! One quick thing to note about Birdo: if Nintendo wanted to disregard the Super Mario Bros 2 manual, that'd be one thing but they made a game called Captain Rainbow for the Wii with Birdo in it and she's canonically trans in that game. It's a Japan exclusive game and I can't read Japanese so I don't know how respectfully the game treats her, but I think it's worth noting they haven't completely erased that aspect from her character.
