Yet another reason why I love my friends
Posted in Gaming, Mad Rantings on 04/12/2010 06:01 pm by Athena HollowPrecursor: My twitter posts that inspired such a conversation….
I my kid. She just chose to put on Super Mario Brothers Super Show over Spongebob. Fuck ya, kid!
Birdo is a creepy bitch dragon in this show… I forgot about that lol
And why the hell does she have glasses on and a terrible spitting lisp!? Come on Mario! Whoop that dragons ass!
Now onto the fun part….
Ron: Birdo’s a guy
Me: not in the supermario super show
Me: “When a Birdo mistakes Toad for her missing baby and kidnaps him, Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool must rescue him while avoiding Koopa’s attacks.”
Ron: how dare they change his sexuality
Me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birdo
Me: The manual asserts that she is a male who believes he is a girl, and would rather be referred to as “Birdetta”.
Ron: manual = bible
Me: but that was only in the original release
Me: and besides, it doesn’t count
Me: it was doki doki panic reskin
Ron: how’s it not count? first appearance should count
Me: they’ve devolved it to the point that it’s indeterminate in gender
Me: and most TG ‘guys’ I know, prefer being called girls
Me: so, for all intents and purposes, Birdo is a girl.
Ron: where the fuck do the eggs come from tho?
Me: unisexed?
Ron: I want Birdo to be the one thing that makes sense in the Mario universe
Ron: I don’t care about floating blocks, or fireballs underwater
Me: why does there have to be anything that makes sense… it’s a fiction universe.
Me: lol
Me: but yea, birdo is transgendered. period.
Me: so anatomically, it is probably male, but mentally, psychologically, biological makeup (excluding sex organs) it’s a girl
Ron: that makes it rude to call her birdo then
Ron: it should be Birdette
Me: I know guys named camille and girls named jo
Me: lol
Me: why does a name have to be gender specific
Ron: but.. in this specific instance, they don’t want to be called Birdo, they want Birdette… so why go as far as to call him a she, but then go and and use the male name they don’t like
Me: For the same reason why my friend’s license says Michael but he prefers to go by Ashley…
Ron: right, and I’m assuming you say Ashley… right?
Me: maybe mario & them are bigots?
Me: they are italian
Me: not bigots
Me: homophobes
Ron: just saying… the Super Mario Super Show is ran by a bunch of bigots
Ron: uh yeah… Mario hates all races
Ron: he eats mushrooms, even tho his friends are made of them
Me: Well Birdo doesn’t really correct them either
Me: so maybe they don’t know
Me: *shugs* we are delving way too deep into this
Ron: of course Birdo doesn’t correct then, that’s asking for a hate crime by 2 Italian plumbers with fireball power
Me: lol
