the Pokemon fandom is usually almost as bad as the Sonic fandom
It'd be a shame if those two came together with other terrible fandoms because of a major gaming crossover, to create an even more terrible one...

I don't know, but I do know that I've seen exactly one confirmed incel on the Splatoon subreddit, and that was because that subreddit is so well behaved normally that when someone started trolling another person looked at their post history and it turned into horrified rubbernecking. Dude shaved his girlfriend's cat as some kind of revenge for something.

But then the Splatoon fandom is usually really good and the Pokemon fandom is usually almost as bad as the Sonic fandom, so that might uh

That might explain something.
All I know about Splatoon fans is that they're VERY accepting of LGBT people and make memes like "GENDER IS A MYTH CREATED BY THE CHURCH TO STOP YOU FROM EATING THE COMMUNION WAFERS"

No one incident in particular, but just something I've noticed in general.

Like, it's so weird too.
I admit I've never spent time there, but...ain't really seeing it off a casual glance?

Didn't exactly scroll to the bottom anywhere or anything, Iunno. Maybe **** sinks.

That or you're in literally all the purest areas of Reddit other than this one and I genuinely envy you for it.

Okay but why are there a disproportionate amount of incels on the Pokémon sub compared to every other subreddit I read?
I just took a look to see what you may have brought this on and it took me less then a minute to find a user called "Gorgeous-Incel", and based on their comment they didn't seem to be being ironic either. Yikes.

I find the term 'confirmed incel' amusing. Is there a specific set of criteria? Is it like a checklist? Or is it more a general depravity and state of mind?

Did something in particular happen or is this just a general thing? And should I dare checking?

Hmmm. LGBT options in Splatoon 3 perhaps?

When are we going to get a game about an LGBT character? It doesn’t have to be about that struggle. Just that’s who they are as a person. Like, just because Hat Kid is female doesn’t mean A Hat in Time is about Women’s Rights.

Yeah, you'd love the Splatoon fandom, they're probably the single most accepting fandom I've seen at least from a cursory view of the subreddit, Tumblr (like, Tumblr is generally more LGBT friendly than most sites but the Splatoon fandom is REALLY LGBT friendly to the point where one of the most popular comics partially centers around a character that the writer insists is referred to as they/them), and the constant stream of LGBT acceptance memes literally every couple of weeks in-game.

All that ink must really come in handy for painting rainbows.

I mean, Corrin is a bi icon. And I'm sure there might be other games with LGBT protagonists I can't remember off the top of my head.
But yeah, more would be nice.

while we do have a bit of gay rep, it's mostly kept to smaller indie projects

kinda wish there were more explicitly gay mcs in bigger triple-a titles yeah

Posting on incel subreddits and ranting about how all women are evil incarnate is a pretty good tell.

Yes this guy did both of those things. Was almost kind of hilarious in a sad sort of way.

corrin is bi but also incestual so that cancels out the iconicness

Corrin may be a disastrous bi but that's not a good example to recommend
tfw both the LGBT romance options in fates are the two creepy-ass "i would **** you even if you were a table" characters

not the best look

I still say the perfect place to start is more Lesbian, Gay, Bixexual, and Trans characters in fighting games like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Tekken, and SoulCalibur. Those games are all about huge, diverse, ensemble casts.

You both have good points to which I have no way to contest but I'm gonna dig my hole deep underground and continue to insist I'm right because my pride will refuse to acknowledge I was wrong.

Umm... not sure you wanna use Corrin as an example here.

Especially if you wanna promote good LGBT protagonists.
