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.

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

@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.

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