Exploration is ill-advised.

Calling Bowsette a porn fad is being super dishonest and disingenuous as a aside and comes off as insecure tbh. It's just a normal rear end fad/art meme. It is pretty funny seeing manga and anime artists get in on it for whatever reason.

I wish they had the usual popteamepic eyes but eh.


I think it was already starting to slow down. The fact that she was almost canon is what revived it. 2 Weeks is being pretty generous.

There's basically no real distinction between porn artists and non porn artists on the internet

There will at least be a direct for something else with a smash announcement, probably. I expect to hear about at least one new character a month until release, probably more.

It’s possible but I think mid-November would make more sense.

November would make the most sense for smash

To be fair, they did release that Seiken Densetsu collection pretty early on...exclusively in Japan.

Also if you count published games I Am Setsuna was a launch title.

Also, octopath was a switch exclusive and came out just about a year and change after launch.

I don't like Bowsette because the fad makes me feel really fetishized as a trans person and further alienated by being told some jessica rabbit rear end fantasy represents/empowers me, and I would like the fad to go away soon, sorry for the """""""""virtue signalling""""""""".

I've heard some circles adopted Bowsette as a trans icon, because she's strong and cool and goofy and accepted by the populous at large. Everything in the universe gets fetished at some point, sadly, so people seem to be making the best of the situation.

I understand that other trans people like and relate to Bowsette, and I am not trying to discount their experiences and feelings. But generally when something like this creates polarized feelings within a marginalized group, the answer is to exercise a modicum of discretion and empathy and boundary-recognition, and instead of doing any of that some people have just been real dicks all like "HOW COULD YOU NOT ENJOY THIS".

I'm amazed that anybody could look at bowsette and be like 'this is empowering', but I haven't really looked into it at all. I just kind of thought people were having fun with toadette's magical ranma crown.

Although i guess it wasn't ranma'd until internet people got a hold of it :shrug:

I don't especially care though. And I definitely dont want to upset anybody pointlessly

My issue with Bowsette is her name. 'Toadette' becomes 'Peachette' with the crown, right? So 'Bowser' should become 'Peacher' or 'Peawser' or maybe 'Bowseach'

OK, to post slightly more on topic, did anyone here preorder the Flip Grip by Fangamer? I've been playing a lot more handheld since I moved, and it would be cool to play Ikaruga and some of the vertical arcade titles on the full screen, but it also seems like a fully unnecessary accessory. At least it's cheap.
