I'm pretty sure it is a reference to the brawl trailer and Sakurai even made the same reference in Ultimate. That being said the addition of the eyes emoji just makes it look bad. I'm not defending this in any way.

If I had to guess, I'd say the post is in reference to the recent Metroid Dread leaks. It's still a pretty bad taste tweet.

GUYS. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IT'S REFERENCING. IT'S 2021 AND IT'S STILL BAD/DUMB and BELITTLES ONE OF LONGEST AND WELL-KNOWN LADY/BADASS IN GAMES.

Unless MGS starts doing this shit with a nearly nude/body-suit wearing man, it's clear what this is about women and dolling her up to horny fans.

I mean its infantile obviously, especially with this eye emoji... but Nintendo promotes games like Xenoblade 2 that includes borderline pedophile aesthetics.

So I don't think anyone at Nintendo France will care.

FE is pretty much anime with 'cute' characters that you are trying to get with. It's a harem? The lastest one has you, a teacher, giving presents to your students to try and form bonds and make them your spouse. It's...kinda questionable.

teachers trying to seduce students… "kinda" questionable? That's underselling it!

to the topic at hand- I've always found ssbs treatment of zss gross, and knowing sakurai and the teams refusal to put more women and ethnic diversity in the game it does put a real bad taste in my mouth thinking what their opinions of women must be. This ad doesn't help.

Oh yeah I remember this screenshot. Never made sense to me why they used it way back when

So, I guess it isn't gonna get taken down, probably? Meh. It can both be true that this is gross and dumb AND that people won't care and Nintendo won't really see anything wrong with this. But I don't get why people are downplaying it in HERE. Regardless of the reference, still sucks lol o.o??

Something, something family friendly company...

The funny thing is, if they hadn't used the eyes emoji there wouldn't really have been a problem here.

...Huh. Having never played them, I thought the player would set NPCs up with each other, rather than date them.

As a man I'm offended by this as not all men are perverts who constantly think about sex and objectify every ass presented in front of us.

This is in horrible taste, but a man checking out a woman's ass is not rape culture, please let's stop with the hyperbole.

Not defending the tweet, but this is out of the world

this over exaggeration is not helping.


You may want to read more on rape culture?

Behaviors commonly associated with rape culture include victim blaming, slut-shaming, sexual objectification, trivializing rape, denial of widespread rape, refusing to acknowledge the harm caused by sexual violence, or some combination of these.[3][4]

The image depicts a man crawling behind a woman to "check out her ass", it's akin to looking up a skirt.

the image also depicts a character who has "sexual object" as one of her primary design goals so it seems a bit late to be expressing concerns.

this over exaggeration is not helping.

Rape culture is a sociological theory of a setting in which rape is pervasive and normalized due to societal attitudes about gender and sexuality. Behaviors commonly associated with rape culture include victim blaming, slut-shaming, sexual objectification, trivializing rape, denial of widespread rape, refusing to acknowledge the harm caused by sexual violence, or some combination of these.

Anyway, it's a terrible shame that Nintendo's biggest female main protagonist is being treated this way by both that CM and Sakurai.

OK so that is a very silly post especially for Nintendo that should be deleted and the woman who posted it warned to be smarter.

But fired, Rape Culture, Outrage, Never buying anything Nintendo again... The reactions in this thread are worse than the post itself and are a stark reminder why I don't post here anymore.

Wanting someone fired for this.... You lot are vile... Why so angry lol there's alsorts of bad shit happening in the world right now and an inappropriate picture makes for CANCEL THE HEATHEN drama?.

Fuck off man
