Oh gawd I fell for it. It’s the right amount of blurry that was common on the early internet so I didn’t question the hazy details.

Be Batman, have prep time.

Doesn’t matter. Green Mario is perfect. Working class, deals with literal shit daily, is scared of everything, and still does the thing. Red Mario has it easy, he’s not scared of CEO Bowser, he doesn’t have to overcome his fear - because he’s confident. Which is cool, good for him. But Red Mario is unachievable as a role model. Be more like Green Mario who does it scared, who does it alone, who does it anyway.

Yes. And I’m tired of pretending otherwise.

Seriously, there’s nothing inherently wrong with remakes but why do it if you’re not trying to make it BETTER? Or at least substantially different? Do a different take on the material, don’t just swap the CG animated boy for a real life actor while leaving everything including the CG animated dragon as it was, for fuck’s sake.

What no I can’t accept that! Those things are expensive, not to mention the ecological impact. You keep it for yourself dearie.

Yeah, I kind of figured that it’s probably a lot more innocent than the baity headline suggests.

I would fucking love to get my protein from insects - they’re prohibitively expensive.

Also, outrage bait.

Sounds like they have something to compensate for. ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠∵⁠ ⁠)⁠┌

We know WHY you do it. We just aren’t very happy with it.

Also, I find it hilarious how US Americans can seamlessly switch between “we’re so very united, everywhere is the same, same food, same culture, same language” and “we’re really 50 separate countries that each do their own thing, don’t judge all of us for the bullshit legislation some of us choose to have”.

Unless they’re from a primarily English speaking country, they’d be unlikely to complain though.

But what if Stuart had been adopted by Soviet Russians?

You’re my favourite lemming. 🐕
