Are you fucking kidding: Petition asking Nintendo to make Link into a Black Female for the next Zeld
125 replies, posted
[quote]A new petition on Change.org is calling for Nintendo to change Link to a young black female in the upcoming Legend of Zelda game on Wii U.
[B]Anton Watabe from Detroit, Michigan has started the petition.[/B]
"For too many years have the black community been underrespresented [sic] in the video game industry," Watabe wrote on Change.org. "Nintendo went too far this time when they chose to make the new Link white and white only. We need to end this injustice, equality has sadly still not been truly achieved."
The petition currently has 48 supporters, but judging from the comments, it seems like some who've signed think the whole campaign is one big tongue-in-cheek joke.
What do you think of the petition?[/quote]
Fuck off.

-snip bad joke-
why
what does this accomplish
who'd benefit from this
I want to believe it's a joke, but Poe's Law is so blurry at this point there's no way to tell.
Why not trans-species body-positive as well?
blatant satire

only 48? there's probably lots of stupid petitions with that many supporters.

[I]what
HOW[/I]
how are they going 'too far' all the sudden to have a white male character [I]continue to be a white male character[/I]
I'd also like to bring up the fact that Link is a [I]fucking elf dude,[/I] and as far as I'm aware race isn't really much of a thing in Hyrule in the first place, people are just different shades of skin tone
my brian hurts

you seem awfully mad about an obvious joke petition that only has 48 signatures
So link can be a wolf and a deku scrub, but not a strong, independent black woman? Come on guys, let go of the hatred.
picture of what she would like.?
it's ridiculous the kind of crap people are willing to believe just so they can get mad at 'political correctness'
even if this wasn't a joke, it doesn't lack context
i forgot who said it (probably miyamoto), but they're monitoring interest in playing as a woman in the new selda
Reminds me of that guy who paraded his idea for a very bland-sounding genderswapped steampunk LoZ around Twitter acting like Nintendo would actually pay attention to him just because he could draw well.

there is two possible things occuring
1. a dumblr user made this
2. this is a joke, which is possible after i examined the generic as hell petition makers name (also coming from detroit)

People get mad over obvious jokes in everything if it fits their worldview, it's how the Onion gets most of its clicks. Whether it be conspiracy theories, Obama, or feminism, it's super serious business if you don't like it.
Based on what I've seen from social justice bloggers, I can't really tell if this is satire. I really can't.

I'm pretty sure dumblr isn't new. Just because it's not said often on 4chan doesn't mean it never happened before.

wait, thats a meme??
I like how this thread went from about the petition to an "tumblr is alright"/"tumblr is dumb" argument.

Link should be a genderqueer otherkin, properly addressed with the pronouns Xhe or Xshe.
Come on, Nintendo! Keep with the times!
