Really fun how many tma people said this guy felt like he was capitalizing off of transmisogyny and everybody said no he isn't and then he does this. Lol
I rbed this on tumblr but this person literally gets it... Like idk it doesn't really matter to me what nintendo says or doesn't say bc there's just something about Samus' narrative that's just intrinsically transfem and she's been such an icon for so long
Idk how cis men can be in their like 40s and don't know or just deny that even cis women have natural body hair.. Like have you been within a foot's length of any woman at any point in your entire life..
oomf 1: I don't know if I can do this anymore
oomf 2: Just started Baldur's Gate 3 ๐
oomf 3: Women <333

I wonder what people who aren't into metal gear think when we post these two and say one is our beloved scrunkly and the other is going to burn in hell for eternity
@perisceris
Do people forget that there are Black Japanese people...? Iโm pretty sure this isnโt very comforting to them... ESP since these people arenโt even in America, they must be pretty passionate then. I hope everyone in Tokyo stays safe as well...

Peach's outfit also (to me) looks like a reference to Takarazuka where all roles are played by women and masculine roles have a look that's similar to her swordfighting outfit, in contrast to more feminine roles that resemble Peach's princess-y outfit
Shoutout to transfems who can't take estrogen for medical or safety reasons or those who just don't want to... Also shoutout to those who do... Everybody different... Big beautiful world out there....
Mgs references/cameos in other games are so interesting because it ranges from "this funny little animal is a reference to Solid Snake!! :D" to "your fave has been found dead in Silent Hill."
This and so many other details about her tbh.. It's probably more noticeable if you are transfem but yeah.. She's always solely burdened with the responsibility of protecting the galaxy while undergoing extremely physically demanding and mentally exhausting trials
@kitsuragipilled
Yeah it sucks so bad it makes me very concerned about the people working on it.. I love Pokemon but there's so much about the franchise that is made to squeeze as much money out of it as possible, from games to merch
She doesn't have any children but metroid 2/super metroid still have themes of motherhood... She navigates hostile environments in complete isolation.. Her ambiguous looking power suit is an extension of herself and provides protection for her in the harsh worlds she travels to
Her body is constantly being used as a tool for labor (the galactic fed ๐) or exploited in some way (like Raven Beak's plans to use her in dread or the pirates trying to replicate her abilities in prime)... I could go on lol
@suncored
SO TRUE... There's a big difference between stuff made just to trick and traumatize kids vs stuff that's aimed at an older audience with a more innocent style.. People just aren't responsible enough about making that line clear (age restrictions, content warnings, etc)
