big-poppa-snorlax: mikumoon: chokobo: Because Pokemon shouldn’t force you to pick a gender you may not associate with. Oh, just STOP WITH THIS. Do you know how complicated it would be if the game designers had to account for all of the different identity options and every single person’s beliefs or lifestyles? What would the character even look like? Would you have to design your own? What if you wear a hijab? What if you’re in a wheelchair? What if you’re black? There are 1000000 factors where people aren’t properly represented in ANY game. Wanna know why? When you’re playing, it doesn’t have to represent YOU directly. I’ve played as a male and female multiple times. It’s roleplaying. The character doesn’t physically resemble MOST of the people who play. Grow the fuck up, or go to school for game development and make a difference instead of whining on Tumblr and demonizing fucking Pokemon. I LOVE YOU Nobody’s demonizing shit. It WOULD be a nice feature because it actually acknowledges that people outside of the binary exist. Yeah, it’s roleplaying, but it’s also the umpteenth time in our lives where nonbinary identities are completely erased or forgotten. Do you know how that feels, to live in a culture that always leaves you out? Do you know how that feels, to find refuge in something as simple as a book or a game that affirms your identity? Nonbinary people are constantly being forced to choose between man and woman, which you can imagine is (more than) extremely discomforting because it’s other people placing an identity on to you that doesn’t fit. It would be cool if you could have customizeable characters. I would love to play as a brown hijabi in a wheelchair. But I would also love to not have people’s identities erased.

lol white people, where is your tone argument now? How fucking rude of you to step into a conversation that *at worst* you did not give a fuck about and then lose your shit. How terminally embarrassing for you to get this angry over pokemon just because someone dares to analyze it in any way ever.

Someone had a really normal critique of the game, which I guess could be irrelevant to you so you could have moved on. But it enraged you they’d even ask a question you considered so beneath you. The game could lose the problem by not asking the question? But that’s not the point.

The point is, nerds get so fucking angry when you analyze their games/movies/shows/books. As if by analyzing, you’re destroying. Analysis IS NOT the antithesis of appreciation. That is some unscientific low-life ignorant bullshit. If you don’t like the analysis or critique, stay in your lane, or, argue coherently. Your argument can’t be OMG HOW DARE YOU ANALYZE THIS OVER-ANALYSIS OMG FUCK YOU FOR ATTACKING POKEMON.

Can’t y'all see you’re both fucking pokemon fans that’s all that matters.

Let me end this with an ancient caucasian proverb:

“Can’t we all get along.”
