New hair !

@TmCtBmbr @tan__ori Right man, I sound stupid for not thinking of car theft and cp when talking about video game dialogue

[Robin ✨ @RobinSpotlight]

@LifeformDigi @tan__ori “Nintendo is woke and pushing a gender neutral agenda, they don’t even say boy anymore”

“Here are multiple instances within the first 2 hours of the game alone where they refer to Link as boy and other male pronouns”

“This does not invalidate the agenda Nintendo is pushing”
???

@realgreenwinter @kd_astronaut @Karthagos @tan__ori I’m glad that could cheer you up, you all have been crying really hard about video game dialogue for a good minute now

@BrettAMacDonald @AlderNothe36311 @tan__ori The Woke Right is cancelling me for my opinion

[Robin ✨ @RobinSpotlight]

@KeyStrix57139 @tan__ori You’re the first one here with good criticism, ty for that! I’m not so much bothered by the Deku Tree not outright “dying” because it is still treated like a death for all intents and purposes (music cutting out, brown leaves falling, Kokiri mourning etc)

[Robin ✨ @RobinSpotlight]

@realgreenwinter @Crimson_Godot Gg, I grant you the Got the Point Award and will now treat you as such going forward

[Robin ✨ @RobinSpotlight]

@realgreenwinter @Crimson_Godot So, OoT is actually a story about responsibilities being forced onto you. It’s not a story about Link pulling himself up by his bootstraps and becoming a man, that aspect was literally pushed onto him since the moment Navi woke him up to talk to the Deku Tree.

[Robin ✨ @RobinSpotlight]

@J19855167Ryan @realgreenwinter @iloverottenfood @tan__ori My actual argument is 1) It’s an outright lie to say they took away the gendered lines for Link when there’s line after line saying otherwise
2) You don’t even need to expressly say the word Man at every interval to have the coming of age maturity story that Ocarina of Time is

[Robin ✨ @RobinSpotlight]

@realgreenwinter Lol

[Robin ✨ @RobinSpotlight]

@realgreenwinter @iloverottenfood @tan__ori I apologize for my lack of commas, dear sir. I will not protest, and will reflect on the grammar used in my social media replies from here on.

[Robin ✨ @RobinSpotlight]

@realgreenwinter @tan__ori If all it takes is 1 line of flavor text to cancel out every other line for the theme of the story to you, then I just believe you to be a very silly person. I’m sorry your consumption of media has to be fed via ragebait to you

[Robin ✨ @RobinSpotlight]

@J19855167Ryan @AlderNothe36311 @tan__ori It must be really tiring experiencing media through inflammatory social media posts

[Robin ✨ @RobinSpotlight]

@iloverottenfood @realgreenwinter @tan__ori It’s quite funny and sad that the replies to the Tweet calling people cry babies over a game they haven’t played are filling up with cry babies who haven’t played the game

[Robin ✨ @RobinSpotlight]

@realgreenwinter @tan__ori “They’re taking away Link’s masculinity! You can see it in the scene where the most hyper masculine literal rock person calls him his Brother! I can’t believe Nintendo has gone woke”

[Robin ✨ @RobinSpotlight]

@realgreenwinter @tan__ori Hey dawg, what does Brother and Uncle refer to in a non direct familial context? Answer quickly please

[Robin ✨ @RobinSpotlight]

@AlderNothe36311 @tan__ori I know you don’t. The discussion is not centered around how true a translation has to be to its source material. Both OPs are saying or implying that Nintendo is taking away all of Link’s referrals of masculinity, attempting to use the translation as proof, when it’s not the case

[Robin ✨ @RobinSpotlight]

@realgreenwinter @tan__ori My two thoughts here are I think in a story of growing into maturity, you don’t need characters calling you a Big Man to cement that (and they still do!). And getting mad at the Tough as Rocks character line from the guy who constantly calls you Brother is very very silly.

[Robin ✨ @RobinSpotlight]

@AlderNothe36311 @tan__ori That’s like, really cool, and also not at all the point of what’s being posted

[Robin ✨ @RobinSpotlight]

@mikeap21 @AccuserInAbyss @meganoob32976 @tan__ori Play the game, it’s fun

[Robin ✨ @RobinSpotlight]

@WageSlaveSlim @AccuserInAbyss @meganoob32976 @tan__ori here’s from the first few hours of the game, I will give you ten more for every attempt at rebuttal
