Whoa saw this when I first booted up splatoon 2 this weekend and thought it a little odd but paid no kind. Pretty cool there's people out there spreading a positive message.
Can I move to Japan Inkopolis?
I haven't played Splatoon yet but are hairstyles and clothing unisex? I liked that Animal Crossing (eventually) lets you rock whatever you want regardless of the sex you choose for your character.
Honestly I wish people would leave this shit out of Splatoon, the furry war was bad enough (especially since some people were including links to their NSFW Twitter accounts in a damn kids game). Not that trans people don't deserve positivity and all but Inkopolis is for dumb squid memes, there are a million other places you can post this stuff.

Trans people exist everywhere though. You can't just sweep it under the rug and cover your ears if it makes you uncomfortable for any reason.
So basically, trans people deserve positivity, you just don't want to have to look at it.
I don't think equating LGBT to furry fandom is exactly ideal.
The lack of Miiverse is such a disappointment. I hate how empty the Switch UI is with its complete lack of personality.
Nintendo should bring it and StreetPass back with a future update. (Especially Miiverse.)
I don't think I'm being unreasonable here, trans people have nothing to do with Splatoon.
I don't think I'm being unreasonable here, trans people have nothing to do with Splatoon. It's like if I went into the Sonic Mania OT and started posting about how all body shapes are beautiful. I might not be wrong but it's still not the place to be talking about it.
I'd actually argue Splatoon, with its ability to change gender on a whim and emphasis on being who you want to be, is a largely important game for trans identity.I don't think I'm being unreasonable here, trans people have nothing to do with Splatoon.

Not equating the two, just saying that the furry stuff was a similar posting fad that flooded my square and drowned out everything else.

Still I think splatoon is the last place people wanna see these discussions at. I get that the hate speech should be removed but inkopolis has derailed so much it's a problem.Basic human rights are not politics.
So basically that YT stance is: "I support LGBT but don't shove it in my face."

And its function as that is more important than your discomfort with it.
Sometimes things exist and become more than what they were intended.
If only Japan were more willing to discuss thing on the left side, LGBT might have equal rights by now
It's kind of weird to argue that inkopolis isn't a place to extend social discourse.I'd actually argue Splatoon, with its ability to change gender on a whim and emphasis on being who you want to be, is a largely important game for trans identity.

And they were usually the better artists lol.Let it be known that the furries started all this.

It's literally what made Splatoon1 so cool. The haunting posts after Iwatas death, or the Paris terror attacks created an amazing sense of community and empathy. Something that I'm happy to see continue in Splatoon 2.
Inkopolis would be a much lesser place if it were just useless Spongebob memes.

This as a response to hate is good. The problem is that the hate shouldn't have made it to the square in the first place. I hope Nintendo will look closer at posts from now on.

Lol I find it odd that someone's gender is a political issue. This world has so much changing to go through. Still can't decide to pick up the Japanese version or the North American version of the game.
For what it's worth I saw the positivity first and then I think the backlash came after. I just checked into the plaza one day and it was flooded with trans/nb love. It was only afterward that I started seeing things like "keep politics out of kids' games" or "tumblr was a mistake". I guess now maybe people are drowning that out with even further love which is cool with me.
nintendo has not banned any topic for the plaza, no rules are being broken by having cute trans positivity in the plaza, the feature is working as intended.
if this makes you uncomfortable, that is your problem.
I sighed so hard after seeing this.
Not that one is better than the other or that it should ONLY be this or that. I just miss seeing the mix of both. That Robocop picture is awesome!
I'm well aware, thanks. If you can spot the part in my post where I said this should be banned I'll be glad to apologize, but I'm pretty sure I just said I wasn't a fan and wished people wouldn't do it. Last I checked Neogaf has not banned that opinion and no rules are being broken by expressing it, the forum is working as intended.
Honestly, the best solution would be for Nintendo to add a block feature so people who don't want to see this stuff can filter it out. I'm already fine with LGBT and don't need to see fifty million supportive messages about it when I'd rather see a silly picture of Crash with tentacles saying "Woahmy".

But how would they be able to block something based on content? Posts have no tags or titles so they have no way of categorizing them besides their relative popularity. That kind of metadata would need to be user generated by viewers in the square and I don't see that catching on unless you're ready to spend an extra few seconds tagging all the memes as memes. I agree that it would be nice to have the option but I don't really see it working all that well in practice. Yeahing a post already takes too long for my tasteI'm well aware, thanks.

This is a very touchy subject. You should watch how you phrase your sentences and tones of your posts because it doesn't come off well.

Sorry, not trying to be rude.
