>Unfortunately, despite Nintendo’s history and reputation, Super Mario Run is not a family-friendly game — or at least not one my wife and I will be letting our 6-year-old daughter play. The game is rife with stale, retrograde gender stereotypes — elements that were perhaps expected in 1985, when the first Super Mario Bros. was released in the United States, but that today are just embarrassing.
>By failing to update Super Mario for a contemporary audience, Nintendo is lagging far behind the Walt Disney Co., one of its closest American analogues. Disney’s film “Frozen” subverted and reinvigorated the fairy-tale princess movie; “The Force Awakens” gave us a female Jedi. Super Mario Run doesn’t even try
why are libs such shitty parents? lol they probably spend no time with their kid and are completely consumed by their jobs, leaving the poor bastard to be raised by strangers

Nigger... It's Mario. HE RUNS. WHAT THE FUCK MORE DO YOU WANT.

Running is ableist. This game is offensive to those without the physical ability to run

Never watched Frozen?
So does it feature a male princess or something?

There were already female Jedi.

Easton Clark
That's pretty much what happened to me.
Owen Kelly
Liberal faggot who cannot see peach is a bitch making Mario running all over the place only to tell him she is taking browser's dick in another castle.
Sebastian Hernandez
What happened is that people don't know how to read a byline. Do you know what an op-ed is? It means it's not news, it's somebody's random thoughts. Newspapers have been publishing them forever, and reputable ones do a good job of indicating clearly what is news and what is creative writing that someone on the editorial board liked.
Aaron White
There's no man saving the queen it's her sister who saves her with sibling love. Instead of a prince I guess is what they mean. Idk,

If you don't like the game don't fucking buy it. Isn't capitalism great?
Parker Martinez
This must be either clickbait or satire. One cannot be this stupid to shit on a consolidated mascot like Mario only now.
Luke Sanders
You can play as the princess in Mario 2. That was released in the 80s. Doesn't that make it the first sjw game?
Blake Ramirez
>Frozen subverted and reinvigorated the fairy-tale princess movie Didn't Mulan do this already?
Tyler Turner

Julian King
The fact that they even published this is stupid. I'm sure there were some op-eds that were actually thought-provoking and interesting that didn't make the cut because NYTimes wanted to publish this click-bait SKW garbage.

Mario is racist as fucking.
Literally an Italian stereotype. He's a plumber, he hops around, he does shrooms, and goes "MAMA MIA!" every other second.
How is this allowed.
James Bailey
That's good. I mean keep it up. Hysterical, like I really needed that laugh
Austin Cox
Because he's a FUCKING WHITE MALE
Duh

WOW, JUST WOW MARIO...you actually think the Princess needs SAVED by YOU?? I can't even right now...maybe she's hiding from you due to you constantly running toward her with rape on your mind!! Wow, just because Bowser is a green lizard, that means he is evil? What a racist piece of shit.

to be fair, this is a post-post-council time, I don't think luke passed either, unless you count an afternoon getting mindfugged by Yoda as trials.
Dylan Reed
No no no, you forgot, we ignore successful instances of women being portrayed as strong by the media, (Metroid, Alien, Tomb Raider, even Leia in the original Star Wars) because that doesn't fit our narrative and we won't rest until every video game is pc friendly and no longer has damsels in distress being saved my Italian plumbers being attacked by turtles with wings.
Nicholas Kelly
these people should really just be fucking shot, in all honesty
i know it's edgy as fuck, but it's almost as if people like this think enjoying anything that ever so slightly, no matter how innocent, goes outside their myopic, deluded worldview is the devil incarnate
Lucas Jones
Of course, user. Tell those wops off.
Connor Thomas
Le lesbo sisters sing and all the men are dicks I guess.
Frozen isn't even a good movie. It's a walk from A to B and back story that isn't even as good a narrative or well visualed as Beauty and the Beast let alone modern shit like Zootopia and Smash It Samson.
Literally a meme movie because kids ejaculated over Let It Go.
Isaiah Cruz
Poor Rhodok spearman should've been upgraded into a sniper. Nord huscarls just can't be beat in melee

So what does Disney, a sellout American company who hasn't produced anything of worth in a decade, has to do with a proud Japanese video game company who produced and still produces staples of gaming?

Caleb Stewart
JedI aren't even the good guys they're just self-righteous jews that believe all emotion is evil. They go around bullying/murdering commoners in bars, they don't teach anyone the secrets of the force. Jedi are assholes.
The real peacekeeping force is the Empire and it always has been.
Brody Williams

John Morris
She don't need no man. Disney will turn its back on what made it big, and it will die in the end because of it.
>retrograde That word does not mean what you think it means in that context. Retrograde=/=Retro.
Retrograde implies a backwards action. i.e. These "retrograde gender stereotypes" would be going back in time and erasing previous stereotypes to instil the new stereotypes from the present.
Is anyone else sick and tired of articles written by people who have no understanding of vocabulary and are clearly just spouting words they see in the thesaurus?
Christian Edwards
Hahahahahaha, is a joke right???... r-right?
John Robinson
nigga why are you attacking while in the stream! It's like you don't want good footwork!

Frozen was based off of a old fairy tail and there have always been female jedi in the cannon. But somehow a running man is sexist...

Ohh yes, as child i wondered how Zelda can look like a dude and then become zelda again. Still don't understand.

Birdo in Mario2 was a tranny
The manual for Super Mario Bros. 2 originally asserts that Birdo is a boy who "thinks he is a girl" (i.e. a trans woman), and would rather be referred to as "Birdetta".
