Nintendo yet again fails to offer diversity in its games.

“The other notable omission is in the cast of characters’ diversity. After 30 years there are still zero Mario characters of color, a problem that Mario Kart 8 highlights by lining up all the characters on a single screen. When it comes to human characters, Mario Kart 8 is overwhelmingly white. Of the 29 drivers, 14 are human (including Toad and Toadette), and every single one of them is white. While it’d be atypical of Nintendo to introduce new characters into a Mario Kart game, it’s also where the deficit is the most obvious, and during play I found myself disappointed that Nintendo’s stable of characters so painfully fails to reflect the diversity of its audience.”

I haven't read all the posts, but is this true?
Have people really become so lame?

Trigger warnings? What?
Over sensitive people gives me trigger warnings.:shit:

OT:
Why isn't there a barfing smiley?

--EDIT--
What is this whole cis thing? I don't get it, tried to google it but I guess my penis doesn't want to understand.

Basically, being cis is being the gender that you were assigned to at birth.

Non-cis people on tumblr hate ALL cis people because SOME people in the world have treated non-cis poorly. "They can't choose the way that they were born." And yet they hate all cis people and we can't choose the way that we are born either. It's the exact same thing that their "oppressors" are doing, but they refuse to admit it and shout loudly until you give up on having a decent conversation with them.

That is tumblr.

Same with the feminism shit, most (not all) hardcore feminists want men to eat shit and die, people that may benefit or "have privilege", but they didn't decide "oh, i'm going to be born as a straight, white male in America!" They don't deserve to be attacked for it if they (meaning the actual person themselves, not the group they belong to) aren't doing anything to you, it's way over the top and not needed. Hate movement.

edit: And a thing I've noticed, there's a "man tears ;O;" tag for posts like mine on tumblr. They say how people can handle a post on a website, "it's just a post, it's not the same!!" Well, try posting the same stuff that they post, but aimed at non-cis. Oh boy, the explosions it would cause.

I'd never do it, because it is hate and discrimination, but "it's just a post" doesn't apply the other way around I guess..

They do have a point, though. Number of Nintendo characters that aren't white as driven snow: zero*. Nintendo: literally Hitler ;O;

EDIT:
*Correction: one, and he's a bad guy.

Well... that's not entirely true... they have a wide array of characters of various ethnicities...

I notice the slacktivists are all men, is that supposed to have a meaning of some sort?
I also notice there are no women involved at all, is that supposed to be meaningful?

I can't into sociopolitical cartoons if they don't have explanatory labels on everything ;O;


And now...

Having once read various articles like http://www.cracked.com/photoplasty_664_13-mind-blowing-tricks-advertisers-use-to-manipulate-photos/ the latter does look more appealing.

Granted the latter is still in "not even if I was literally starving" territory.
