In December last year we saw the launch of an official Pokémon Tumblr, which was clearly a sign of things to come. Now Nintendo has launched an official page, which is no doubt being led by Nintendo of America. This isn't the subsidiary's first dalliance with the social network, having kept us amused for quite some time with its Splatoon page.
So far it's had an introductory message using some GIFS of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and a post regarding the origins of Super Mario Bros..
We can't help but be amused, though, at the warning disclaimer on the profile's home page.
Welcome to the official Nintendo Tumblr! ESRB Rating: Rating Pending to Mature. May contain content inappropriate for children. Visit www.esrb.org for rating information.
A standard message, admittedly, and we can't imagine that Nintendo will be diving into the dark side of the GIFs and images to be found online. Safe searches are always a good idea when looking up Nintendo characters.
In any case, it's another step into the modern age for Nintendo, and in recent times it's certainly been active in growing its audiences on various social media platforms.

Nintendo, noooooooo!!! Think of the children; think of the.... Children!!!
SJW Nintendo confirmed.
Mario on Grindr next.
NINTENDO. NO. COME BACK.
DONT GO INTO THE DARK SIDE.
Wow Nintendo really are now embracing the Internet.
Doesn't seem that long ago when they hardly even acknowledged that it even existed!
I hope they can manage to stay 100% PC ... otherwise they will get harrassed by people that are fighting harrassment ^^
Up next.......Nintendo Darknet
Sony and Microsoft would never stoop this low .
#NOTFORTHEGAMERS!
I... don't know what Tumblr is 😔 hangs head in shame
I don't understand, what's the problem with Tumblr? It's replaced twitter for me. Nice to have more Nintendo on there
The splatoon tumblr is great, hope the Nintendo tumblr can be as fresh
So they're finally doing rule 34 stuff themselves for once, about time.
WELP! BAYONETTA IS MOVING UP IN THE WORLD, I GUESS! XD
@MJKOP
4chan is a place where people say outrageous and hideous things just for the sake of it.
Tumblr is a place where people are offended by everything anyone (who isn't them) says.
They are the 2 sides of the coin of adolescent sociopathy.
Barf
Cool--if a little sparse at present.
@Dezzy well put
Welp, time to see who gets offended!
@NintendoFan990 @Dezzy @NintendoFan64 On Tumblr, we SJWs only get offended when someone is being offensive. Even if we're not part of the minority that's being attacked, we still defend it. I hate the anti-tumblr comments that appear whenever tumblr is mentioned on this site.
Super Hornio Bros. reboot a possibility?
It makes perfect sense Nintendo got a tumblr. Nintendo games dominate the gaming fandoms, even if years go by without a release.
@amiiboacid " On Tumblr, we SJWs only get offended when someone is being offensive."
But you don't, though. You think things such as air conditioning are sexist. I'm not saying that ALL people on Tumblr are like that, but a very vocal minority are.
@MJKOP
wut? really? bwahahahaaha. (^- ^ ) Sorry. I think that's kind of endearing. You're not missing much (although that's pretty hypocritical of me because I'm on tumblr all the time).
And this is pretty cool. I think I'll follow... wait... Nintendo of America?!? Uuuuuuuuuuugh. (-_- )
Well, whatever. I guess it can't be that bad. I'll still follow them.
@amiiboacid While their are A-holes in the world that should be given a stern talking to, some Tumblr users take things to dang seriously and find something offensive even when there is nothing offensive to be found. And I will admit that there is actually some good parts on Tumblr, and I occasionally go there...it's just that the bad parts of it kinda cover up the good.
@Utena-mobile nah right enough I don't know what Tumblr is, lol. I've HEARD of it but... yeah, I don't know what it is. I do follow Nintendo Of America & Nintendo UK on Twitter, but I don't know if that redeems me any lol. Since I'm opening up here, get this.... I DON'T HAVE A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT!! Never have. Now how 'bout that?! Lol
@amiiboacid
Slight problem.
Offense is taken, not given. It's an entirely subjective concept that can be extended ad-infinitum. Which is exactly what so called SJWs have been attempting to do.
If you want to introduce a limiting principle for offense, like "don't insult people based on things they can't help like race/sex/looks etc etc" then you'll get more allies.
If on the other hand, you want it open-ended, so that people end up having discussions like "cooking the food of another country is offensive cultural appropriation", you'll get nothing but ridicule and contempt.
I don't even know what a tumblr is, I really am behind with times and I'm not even anywhere near being old yet.
@MJKOP
good for you. lol. I got rid of my facebook too. Too much drama.
btw, I went to take a look and I practically facepalmed at the Miss Universe post. Gawd, I feel so so sorry for Miss Colombia.
@amiiboacid "On Tumblr, we SJWs only get offended when someone is being offensive. " I'm cringing so hard. SJWs definition of offensive is bizzare.
@amiiboacid So basically you're offended because people think you're easily offended?
@Thatguywhoeats : I'm amazed someone actually called themselves an SJW. I thought SJW was a sarcastic term that people would never go by in real life.
Wait until Nintendo starts using "Trigger Warnings" in front of their image posts lol.
Memes.
@Dezzy I've never encountered someone saying the cooking of foreign foods is cultural appropriation. I've only seen things like dressing up as other cultures being an example of that.

@Thatguywhoeats
of·fen·sive
adjective
1. causing someone to feel deeply hurt, upset, or angry.
"the allegations made are deeply offensive to us"
synonyms: insulting, insolent, derogatory, disrespectful, hurtful, wounding, abusive;
That is from google and matches up with my definition. What is your definition and the SJW definition.
@Fee I wasn't offended.I said I was tired. I hardly get offended even when debating with people.
@NintendoFan990 Well I have debated with fellow SJWs about social justice. But at it's core, social justice is being offended when someone is being offensive. Nobody I've seen thinks air conditioning is sexist. Also, I've seen people wearing Donald Trump and Menminist shirts, but no one wearing Bernie Sanders or Feminist shirts, so anti-SJWs are more vocal than SJWs at my school.
@amiiboacid I think this might be of some use to you:

Also, do you really think that more people wear Donald Trump and Meninist T-shirts than Bernie Sanders and Feminist T-shirts? You clearly don't get out that often, then.
@amiiboacid
Tell me where you live. I'll show up in a Bernie Sanders t-shirt or a feminist t-shirt.
jk, jk. ( ^_^)
@NintendoFan990 I specifically mentioned my school. Also, feminism is good and meninisn is evil. Same thing with Bernie and Trump
This isn't really the place to talk about politics... (T-T )
btw, there's a cute post called "Nintendo Minute Wednesday" that is pretty fun to read.
@amiiboacid "feminism is good and meninisn is evil"
So reducing suicide rates for young men is evil? -_-
Do even realise what you're typing?
@NintendoFan990
"Meninist
Meninism is a mockery of feminism and proves that we can't request equality without white
men making everything about themselves.
"Oppressed" white guys think that feminism is a threat to their masculinit." ~urban dictionary.
@amiiboacid I wouldn't really take an urban dictionary (a site with user generated content) definition as an official definition. I would also like to remind you that that definition got 6164 downvotes as well as 3729 upvotes and it was clearly written by an SJW or someone of a similar type. -_- Typical lazy SJWs.
Did you even look at all the definitions? The general gist of the term on the site is that it is a Twitter account mocking feminism because it does things like ignore the REAL sexism going on in the third-world and just fights against silly things such as 'sexist' air conditioning.
The term also means someone who supports men's rights. This could range from things such as better child support for fathers, reducing the suicide rates for men and young boys and improving the education system that is against young boys. A man can be a meninist (AKA a men's rights activist) and a feminist or alternatively just a equalist/egalitarian.
Can you answer my question from last post? Do you think reducing suicide rates for young men is evil?
BTW, this is getting off-topic so this will be one of my last posts.
@NintendoFan990 That definition is the first result when you search about meninism. That means it's the most commen definition. Feminism is the same thing as equalist, it means men and women are equal. And no, wanting to decrease the suicide rates of young men isn't evil. I am a young man who has thought of suicide. Since these will be our last response, can you please remove the stereotype of tumblr users hating men and hetro people or whatever you think.
