People often tend to get racism mixed up with ignorance. I'm not black so I can't speak from experience, but it should go without saying that misidentifying a hairstyle isn't racist.

The original text: "This character was designed to appeal to a wide audience and as such is neither masculine nor feminine"
The translation: "This character doesn't have a gender."
I just found out that when Mark Speight (children's TV presenter) died, they played the theme song to his show, SMart, at the funeral. This is what said theme song sounds like:
I feel like a monster for laughing about this, but I really can't help it.
Can't believe it, they added Crash to Smash.
One thing people often question about the WarioWare franchise is why and how someone like Wario is friends with a bunch of literal children. I like to imagine that Wario stood up for them when they were being bullied by their peers - albeit using the threat of more bullying, this is Wario we're talking about after all - and that's how they met.
Can't think of an explanation for the blatant copyright and child labour law infringement going on at WarioWare Inc. though.
Sorry to get all political, but...
Odd question, but do you know of any way I could play Knuckles' Chaotix in 2020 without getting a Genesis and a 32X?
Super Nintendo World's power-up bands have a rather peculiar inclusion:
Daisy. I want to say that they chose Daisy because they're working on some sort of Daisy-related project, but it's more likely they just wanted a second female character and Daisy was chosen by means of being a character that casual fans would be more familiar with through seniority. (and possibly the fact that Rosalina's emblem isn't as much of an instant identifier as Daisy's)
12 year old me when the West Midlands-accented edgetuber says Undertale is a good game:
"I think Sonic Adventure is a bad game."
"You've just got nostalgia bias towards the classic games!"
"I was born after Adventure came out, let alone the classic games."
Creating "alliances" between characters' supporters is equally as stupid as rivalries.
Not everyone who wants Isaac also wants Waluigi, not everyone who wants Waluigi also wants Shadow, not everyone who wants Shadow also wants Tails, so on and so forth. All these "alliances" would serve to do is ostracise and silence fans of one character who oppose the other, harming both characters in the process.
A lot of the famous SNES OSTs lose their magic once you find out they were all just using default Casio instruments.
Have you ever noticed how you rarely see the homes of platformer mascots?
The Cartoon Network UK YouTube channel has "Funny" as a hashtag for each of their videos.
This includes BMO's fake-out death in Adventure Time: Distant Lands.
If you don't know the plot of Star Wars or universe rules of Lego movies (especially the latter) this image could come off as some Human Centipede level ****.
Ubisoft made the best Star Fox game since Command then just casually promoted it as side content for a toys to life game 2 years after the genre died
I literally lost hearing in one ear thanks to cheap headphones and all I'm thinking is "that's lousy I guess".
I tear up when I lose a game I barely play under the bed.
I'm a slave to consumerism.
Watching YouTube Poops with a blocked ear is so surreal - the bass-boosted jokes, instead of being too loud to hear, just sound normal.
One of my favourite tropes is when a comedy cartoon suddenly hits you with an emotional gut punch - usually happens in finales; feature length movies; or Christmas specials.
It's strangely comforting to think that these characters who are pretty much just there to make you laugh can also experience hardship and struggles off-screen. Shows that we're all human with weaknesses, even those of us who can survive having a car dropped on their head.
A capitalist learning that Nazi is short for "national socialist" is the exact same as a 7 year old hearing swear words for the first time.
Recently I posted a status about how the N. Sane Trilogy is better than 3D All-Stars.
I should note I was talking about the original games, not the remakes/rereleases.
Holy crap, Jessie learned PSI Fire.
CBeebies sent some mixed messages to young me.

I still believe quite strongly in target demographic theory.
I feel that the "if it's not fun, why bother?" mentality is demeaning to gaming as an art form.
One thing I hate in character design is the juxtaposition of overly beautiful/sexual female characters and goofy man-baby male characters. I can excuse it with Mario, but that's likely just because I'm used to it.
I don't think Among Us killed Fall Guys, but rather that Among Us saved Fall Guys. Trust me, you do NOT want your game to get overexposed.
3D All-Stars vs. N. Sane Trilogy is less "Virgin vs. Chad" and more "pug vs. gorilla"
I've had a vague memory of a SpongeBob episode where a character says "porn" in passing (and my parents' reaction to it) for a long time, I always assumed it to be a false memory, but nope: the memory has been validated. Kinda. The subtitles say it's "any port in this storm", but I'm not convinced. Also my memory involved Squidward, not Krabs.
How many Space Invaders compilations does Taito need? I'm just waiting for Strictly Limited to reveal the Invincible Collection's release date.
I am so glad this exists, yet also not surprised in the slightest.
We now live in a world where an Arabian prince has a character in Smash.
Green Eggs and Ham on Netflix is quite possibly the most meta TV show in existence, as watching the show is basically the same experience as the plot of original book.
What the hell Americans? Why do you even have ONE holiday celebrating colonialist genocide, let alone THREE?
The poor NES emulation on Wii made SMB1 look really gritty.
Great, now we're opening the Goofy-Pluto can of worms.

Everyone else:
"Bring back the National Dex!" "No, use the development time on balancing!"
"Gen 1 is a glitchy mess!" "No, Gen 1 set the foundation for Pokémon!"
"Gen 5 deviated too much from the norm!" "No, Gen 5 is the best gen!"
"Lopunny is inappropriate!" "No it's not! it doesn't have any boobies!"
Me:
Is Trubbish short for "trash rubbish" or "trouble rubbish"?
Run, Mort, Run! (away from Nick Park's lawyers)
Hey kids, don't touch that dial and get ready for the next exciting episode: Sonic Fricking Dies!
