Wha? She wears power armor in order to traverse hostile alien planets. It has nothing to do with hiding her body.

If I had armor that made me an alien killing machine, i’d wear it. Not because i’m ashamed of my body, but because it’d make me an alien killing machine.

I don’t know. I mean sure. It has practical purposes. But you have to admit, armor doesn’t have to do both that AND make you look masculine. I think there’s something there. I could just be reading too much into this but... I just can’t shake the idea.

I could think of a good track that would fit a couple characters for a Super Smash Kart.

Spoiler

There would definitely be at least one Diddy Kong Racing track fosho

It was the 1980s and the whole surprise was that Samus was a girl the whole time behind the suit. You're definitely reading too far.

Armor is a gender neutral concept. Armor is not designed to be masculine or feminine. It's a practical tool, not a fashion statement. In a relatively hard sci-fi setting like Metroid, practicality is going to win out over performative gender expression.

This Game Of Thrones character doesn't have "female armor." She just has armor.

If it was JRPG armor boobs they would just leave out the areas that they could take out before the ESRB wagged their finger.

Random Question: What’s your wildest Shiny Pokemon catch?

My second shiny wild encounter was a Mankey in Pokemon Fire Red. I was grinding and only paying half attention, so when I heard the shiny sound effect I jumped out of surprise and dropped by GBA and the cartridge popped out. The game froze on that screen until I shut the power off, tormenting me.

As for my actual "catch" I hatched a timid, contrary Snivy while IV breeding before. I lost it in a save data accident though so...RIP.

And she looks like a man.

Look. I get where you’re coming from. And this could all just be from me and my personal issues. But I just... there has to be something there. It is fiction at the end of the day.

Also, no way Metroid is hard sci-fi. It has psycopathic murder dragons, shapeshifting parasites, and alien cryomancers.

You telling me you want the suit to have armor boobs

No. Just for it to be a little bit more slender. Not at bulky. The other M design used in Smash is actually my preferred design for the suit compared to other versions for this reason. I just.... I prefer more outward and open feminine design and expression. And it’s hard to look at Samus, knowing how she is actually a rather attractive woman, and to see that she feels the need to cover and bulk up, hide who she is. That just doesn’t sit well in my head.

You're clearly looking way too into this, as Will said.

 

[ZephyrZ]

People who are really comfortable with their bodies and gender identity don't care if what they wear makes them look masculine or feminine.

Yikes

Okay but he is he wrong?

 

[ZephyrZ]

I feel attacked.

If it counts for anything I'm not that comfortable with my appearance either.

Deep down I'm terrified of clothing appearing feminine.

I’m transgender. Everything about that is being not comfortable in your body.

I used the term "relatively hard sci-fi." When the series you're comparing it to is Bayonetta... it's pretty damn hard.

You think Brienne looks like a man because femininity is not designed with practicality in mind in real life. It doesn't allow for women to be physically active. Society has coded masculinity as the "default," especially for physical activities, when in reality it's just the absence of feminine traits.

Here is Ibtihaj Muhammad, a famous female fencer.

Nothing she wears is expressively feminine except for the hijab which she wears for religious reasons under her helmet. She wears the standard outfit all fencers wear. Samus wears power armor that is practical in her setting.

I could go into a whole dissertation about how feminine expression is largely commodified by men who want to keep women in certain boxes, but I'll spare you of that. Point is, in a practical setting, when it comes to physical activity, feminine expression is a nonpriority.

You either get in the drama or you post "hi -quirky image- bye". This is the true duality of man.

I’m just sayin, that looked like a strong woman to me. And then you swoop in with the “she looks like she has a ****” and it’s a bit of a yikes imo

 

[Deleted member]

Oh, we’re having one of those moments.

Cool.

I did not know that. Beenox made a big deal about how they would be able to bring over assets from the N. Sane Trilogy easily because they use the same engine

This is just from my experience, so take it with a grain of salt, but the SSBU models can easily be converted to “.dae” files. .dae files work for basically everything. I’m not 100% sure how game engines handle importing files, but most, if not all should be able to handle .dae files.

The shiny deoxys named Ebola I got off wondertrade

is that on its birth certificate?

 

[Deleted member]

Playing SML2.

Got halfway through the game in less than an hour I think.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

SnakeFighter64 I seriously doubt Samus’ armor is some sort of statement. It’s all just for practical use. Your looking too deep into it.

You either get in the drama or you post "hi -quirky image- bye". This is the true duality of man.

I was actually catching up.

 

[Will]

you know speaking of samus

how does she use the arm cannon? how does it even work? do you pull a trigger from the inside?

I think so, but I may be wrong.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

A mechanism inside seems to be the most likely scenario.

 

[Noipoi]

I’ve got two theories

There’s some button or trigger she activates with her hand inside

Or it’s mind activated

Ehhhhhhyyeeahhhhhh, this. ^

I’m not targeting you or anything, but when it comes to things like this, sometimes keeping your thoughts to yourself can be a good thing.

 

[ZephyrZ]

I’m transgender. Everything about that is being not comfortable in your body.

Yeah I understand it's probably much worse for you then most people. I really didn't mean to make light of your situation.

But in a society where men men are taught to be "manly" and woman are taught to be "feminine", I think most people have some gender related insecurities deep down. There's a reason most men (including myself) won't ever wear dresses or skirts.

 

[Deleted member]

Also speaking of Samus.

Can we see this in UA3 alongside the F4?

Kay guys, let's ease up a bit on SnakeFighter

I understand her opinions on this subject might be a bit different from some of us here, but y'all seem a bit too harsh on her

 

[CrusherMania1592]

I don’t know why. But I’m still stuck on the idea of a Super Smash Kart. And how Nintendo would execute an idea like that.

Add Crash and Sonic into it and you got yourself a deal


...and Knuckles

God, I’m so excited to make the Guv vs matches when the former finally drops during the summer.

banjo kazooie butt feel very fluffy?

Yes.

Parents didn’t like me on Discord. I doubt Twitter would be much different. LOL
