@Charlie_Girl Exactly, a tiny lil piece of representation for us queer folk. Yes, their name leaves alot to be desired but hey, it’s a Japanese game after all and Japan is a very different country to America. They generally find pretty different things offensive/acceptable. coughBLACKFACEcough 🤷♂️
@JaxonH I’d also like to add that that news story you were referring to is sensationalist garbage. That woman wasn’t jailed, she was detained for a couple hours. And it wasn’t for misgendering someone once online but for levying a cyber bullying campaign against them via several twitter accounts. Most of the sites reporting on this story are also HIGHLY questionable at best and if I were you I’d find better news sources.
@JaxonH Nintendo has been censoring their own games for a very, very long time. This is nothing new, the world isn’t different. Back in the 80’s Devil World wasn’t even released in the states because of the probable outcry from the Christian community.
I’d also like to add that as a queer person myself (and speaking for queer friends that also love Mother 3) I have no issues with the Magypsies, I actually love them. I’m always happy to see fun, campy characters in a JRPG. Don’t blame “snowflakes” or “sjws” for this censorship, this was and is completely up to Nintendo. They’re the ones with the power.
