   A couple of faggots on Twitter have been saying "Oh, the chuds are gonna complain about Nintendo going WOKE by giving Zelda her own game!" Obviously, that's retarded, because making Zelda a summoner preserves traditional JRPG gender roles and is implicitly right-wing.

     You calling Zelda an RPG triggers me more than alleged chuds complaining about Zelda going woke.

     @dick @ArdainianRight I never understood why the companies behind the CD-i games made two games with the same premise.

     "there's a game where you can play as Zelda!"
     
     Oh that'll be cool
     
     "Yeah it's coming out this year!"
     
     Oh fuck

     @ArdainianRight Also, Peach got her first solo game back in what, 2005? And even Mario has needed to be rescued multiple times over the years. Definitely didn't get any Girlboss Zelda vibes from the reveal trailer, that's for sure.

     Obviously it isn't, but there's definitely a fair amount of JRPG influence there.

     @ArdainianRight Also, I'd personally would rather have a game starring someone other than Link OR Zelda, just for world-building purposes because I bet there would be a lot of heroes in Hyrule who had no connection to Link whatsoever.

     @zoomgoboom @xianc78 @ArdainianRight I think there should be a game where you play as someone who starts a queer liberation movement in Hyrule.

     You mean the gay carpenters in OOT? Not sure how you'd make an interesting game out of dudes who prance around and do nothing, then get kidnapped.

     @ArdainianRight @hachi @zoomgoboom The one in BoTW and ToTK is more obvious. He even gets excited if you talk to him in your underwear.

     @hachi @xianc78 @zoomgoboom I don't think Nintendo wants to make a Zelda game about sexually trafficking teen boys.

     @ArdainianRight @xianc78 @zoomgoboom They could be running an underground gay bathhouse, but then they got caught, so they started a queer liberation movement. It would be like various queer liberation movements in the real world.

     @ArdainianRight @hachi @zoomgoboom Yet they allowed Itoi to include magical drag-queens along with a hot-springs scene with them in Mother 3.

     @xianc78 @ArdainianRight @zoomgoboom Nintendo should follow Itoi's footsteps and make more queer-inclusive games. That guy normalized queer inclusion long before western game companies did.
