I'm not so sure about this Polygon, I think they would like this to be true. In Japan straight dudes who look like fruitcakes are often just metrosexuals, its some weird thing. If he was an American character he'd clearly be gay looking like this, but with the Japanese I doubt it, I mean gay marriage is still illegal in Japan. There is no fucking way Nintendo made a homosexual hero character in the 1980s, these people are delusional

Nah it's a rag.

I'm laughing my ass off at some of the pretty insane takes in this. It's basically the 2006 internet fangirl yaoi shit reading everyone as gay regardless.

You also gotta love the subtext of them never being happy. "We want queer representation"

Ok here's a quest where you can cross dress.

"Nooooooo it promotes violence against trans women and is deeply problematic!"

They follow the legend of the timeless queer icon Oscar Wilde, in the form of "the one thing they hate more than not getting what they want is getting it."
