We've got a little over a week until Smash Bros. Ultimate comes out! How are you all going to pass the time?

Aside from work, I'm hoping to play some Okami (I played a bit of it on the Wii, but I'm only three hours into the Switch version and I'm further in that than I've ever been) and catch up on Hunter x Hunter (there's a few episodes that I missed in the dub, and I'm early on in the Chimera Ant arc for the subbed version).

There was a problem fetching the tweet
Ignore IGN's poor translation of pronouns
Ah, I see. It’s weird because every other source I could find lists Ed as a girl. So it’s hard for me to know if that’s just poor translation or the creator pulling a JK Rolling. It’s pretty hard to tell with this translation, given that he says doesn’t sound like what a progressive who speaks English would say.

'going to play the new modes & characters that will be added in Kirby Star Allies next updates, which is tomorrow. If I finish it too early, then I see what I can do.

Also, dang, Chrom is looking better than I expected. His recovery may be trash (tho in a game where almost every recovery were nerfed to a extend, does that mean much?), but the rest of his moveset seem really good.

If it was a JK moment, I feel he'd have worded differently, the way he says it feels natural and about the creation thought process. But considering IGN already ****ed up the pronouns, I think it's hard to say it basing on the translation.

Exactly. That’s what I’m getting at. Normally it wouldn’t be a good thing for a non-binary character to be called “it” and non-human.

The "it" I'm thinking is most likely an IGN translation thing but the rest, uhm, yeah.

After the Harry Potter novels were finished, J.K. Rowling said in an interview that Dumbledore was gay, though there wasn't much evidence of it in the books. (his interactions with Grindelwald in backstory shown in the last book could be interpreted that way, but the series never went into his romantic life)

Oh, to support that Ed being Enby is more natural, I remember Ed saying "Ed is Ed!" when asked who they were

Only issue I have with nonbinary pronouns is the Dutch language. Because 'she' and 'they' are literally the same word in both pronounciations and spelling here.
Portuguese has a similar issue since there are plural versions for "he" and "she" and the "gender neutral" version would just be the same as the male pronoun. It's also even more awkward since the plural version is the same but with an 's' at the end so you couldn't even use it as a singular gender neutral term if you wanted to.

Didn't Cowboy Bebop have another trans character? I think I've heard something about one. How exactly were they portrayed?

Watch Dirty Pair then. I still can't believe that an 80's anime had a transwoman and the only thing that aged poorly is the term 'sex change'. Not to mention the transphobe still respected her pronouns. Joanca may be the earliest well portrayed transwoman in anime history and should get more recognition

Animal Crossing & PAC-MAN join the countdown fray:

Great, now who's gonna take care of the town? Tom Nook?

Also...I know it's old news but... just this month we have Stan Lee, not too long ago now we have Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of Spongebob Squarepants passed away.

Hope this pic can cheer those up who were shocked by this news, saw this fanart on Danbooru:
Patrick as Star Platinum is... AMAZING.

And more Kirby pics, recently Sakurai explained on why he made Kirby the sole survivor, and yeah...he choose Kirby base on every character's escaping potential as it seems. That being said I'm sure a lot of users here gonna deny and went more explaination on some characters are possible as well. (Like for me I do think that Rosalina & Luma could escape too.) we all know Kirby is powerful even before that so it while it makes sense but even Sakurai himself admitted that he's biased.

#@#@@# Dat white Nintendo Switch, please make it happen Nintendo.
And Kirby apparently is not feeling so good in this pic with Iris, Modka, and Oshino...

And Uraraka Kirby:

The reason for that is simple, anime wasn't the widespread phenomenm it is today. Back then, anime was just whatever the people made it wanted to be. There weren't trends to be copied, standards to meet and regulations to worry about. People just, kinda made whatever the hell they wanted and since it was incredibly niche already, bigoted groups wouldn't bother to complain about it. "Just one more of those weird animes". It wasn't until the 90s that anime started to become more mainstream in Japan and studios wouldn't want to risk controversies that could cost them money.
It's how anime as we know today became much like Hollywood: you do it the way studios want to avoid controversy and you have to "think of the children".
Though thankfully, it seems to be slowly steering away from that.

Well there it is.

I guess with all the obvious hint and peoples that had already saw the movies and shared the entire plot online, it isn't as bad as it could be.

But man, why does trailers need to spoil everything now those days?

It ain't a trailer these days if it doesn't spoil anything.

People getting mad about the trailers generates discussion about it too

one of these days, someone will release the whole movie as the trailer

Peoples got to see the first Lego movie in it's entirety as ad before a normal video started, so I say we are already close to that
