Feels very close to what happened last year with Kemono Friends. I'd be quite amused but also quite surprised if someone were able to intentionally bait such a thing next time it happens. They seem unpredictable.

It feels like all this poo poo is happening way too fast to be natural, kind of like the bit in Persona 5 where the Phantom Thieves are exploding in popularity and everyone everywhere is talking about them and it turns out it was all a setup by the government to use the popularity to bait you into going after someone they planned on murdering and have you take the fall for it.

Then again, I guess everyone just really loves dem anime tiddies.
i think bowser's been a lovely villain since 1997 and nobody likes peach's personality so this kind of scratches both itches. imo.

Consider how many more people did fanart of Splatoon 1 than actually played it, now compare that to Bowser as a cute girl. There was no way people weren't going to go ham for this. Even I've drawn princess bowser, everyone is.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
Super Crown/Bowsette is a fine and natural part of any fandom in this day and age. Like someone else said, it'll be hot for a week or so and then in a month or so Jimmy Fallon will do a bit about it and the rest of the world will have moved on to the next fetish, Hats With Pockets.

I think it'd be real easy to photoshop the cover of Plumbers Don't Wear Ties to be Bowsette fan art if I could find a big enough copy of the source. It's basically adding a red hat, horns and a spike collar and BOOM I'm part of the fetishphere

i think the lesson we've learned from any mario game with a vaguely entertaining plot is that bowser and peach work a lot better when the games aren't intentionally written to give them like zero time on-screen

they don't even need to be like, supporting characters, though having a new central villain can make things more fun it still just works better in general if they're like. written at all to be characters. the peach segments in paper mario 64 can feel a bit long but there's a lot of fun writing in those. hell all of bowser's early stuff in superstar saga owns and the whole intermission bit between the first and second halves of that game is really fun
