Sometimes I wonder what a "right" is.
I mean, what is a "right", but a privilege decided and chosen by the elite or those in power?
Anything can be a "right" if they want it to be.
I guess the closest thing to a "right" is a right to exist, and some people don't even get that.
Do I really have "rights"?
There's no correlation between putting more female characters and supporting women's rights.
If said female character happens to be pandering with fanservice (to which Nintendo is no stranger to, despite the family friendly reputation they have), I wouldn't call it supporting women's rights.
Speaking of which, we need more nudists, autistics/aspies, homosexuals, minor-attracted people, insectial couples, multiple-partnered couples, transsexuals, transracials, disabled people, jews, and muslims in video games. As someone with Asperger's, this is of the upmost importance for me. I say we start with Smash Bros.
I don't think games need to have sex options if you are supposed to be a set character. The only games where sex options should be necessary are ones where you are an empty template that can be customized to represent yourself. If LoZ were to have a playable female, I'd prefer if Zelda was playable over a gender-bent Link.
I wouldn't mind a sex-swapped Link if there was a male Zelda as well.
....lol.
I don't have anything else to say but "lol.
