Going to hazard a guess it's basically a tactic to zombify their audience.

Common demoralization tactic is to say something which is demonstrably untrue, but ultimately have the final say in the matter, forcing people to willingly lie.

Ahh yes, the example of a abused-child character being totally A-Okay with their brainwashing upbringing.

Changing him from a tragic character into one who willingly submitted to their torture.

The more one thinks about it the more it sounds fucking disgusting. Like damn, and they really though this was a great idea, no? Probably the most disgusted I have been with fiction in a while, Bridget deserves better.

I personally think that Daisuke didn’t care back then, simply wanted a excuse to draw an effeminate boy in a habit, but started caring later on.

Which is why I make it a point to ignore them when they say crap like this.

The Koopalings are way more interesting as Bowser's kids and Jr.'s older siblings. There's such a fun dynamic there that gets thrown out for literally nothing.

Aren't the Koopalings around the same size as an adult standard 'Koopa'?

So it wouldn't even make any sense for them to be anything but Bowsers children, they are just smaller versions of him with ridiculous hairstyles.

Totally agree. I just ignore them when they say this sort of utter nonsense. When they do this stuff that they just proclaim despite it contradicting the established cannon, or inductively contradicts it, or just isn't generally supported by the cannon in any significant way but they just want to throw it in [say Dumbledore is gay thing originally] then I just ignore it and let my mind go elsewhere. They are just cheapening their own product when they do this stuff.

The Jr. thing always bugged me because there was already a junior: Morton.

Wasn't there another weird fact that said Waluigi is uncircumcized, or am I having a case of Mandela Effect here?

It's just common sense.

If it comes from Nintendo of America it's basically worthless info. Even the other branches aren't trustworthy since they take marching orders from international organizations.

I think the koopalings were downgraded to unspecified relations to make Bowser Jr more prominent. I think that retcon coincided with Sunshine's release.

Some of that is just lame retconning when they decided to make games worse than super mario world.

I never got that reasoning though, super mario world was an amazing game and it was like after that game all they wanted was to do stuff that wasn't anything like super mario world.

I guess I get the turtle thing where he means he is kinda a de-facto turtle since that is a shell on its back, but that is also stupid regardless. Especially when you consider actually quite a few animals had shells on its back not just turtles. If anything it just shows his ignorance. Wait, and don't some I don't know... DINOSAURS have shells on their back too? That doesn't make them a turtle. Honestly though I bet that is just a stupid statement by someone who thinks they are being clever but actually makes them look dumb. Seriously some people I swear get off on "correcting" people in the stupidest ways. "WELL ACTUALLY......" and then bring up some BS nonsense.

But like other people said, it is a lame tactic to just proclaim things after the fact that were never given any reason to be the case. Often for political reasons or to be like "lol I told you so stupid fans how dare you know things the normies don't" or something like that. Like the toadette thing I figure that one has to be purely just stupid political retconning. What is next all coopas are genderless too and Wendy Koopa was secretly just a transvestite? Actually I may believe Wendy was a transvestite, as it kinda looks like a lot of them :P

In Super Mario World for the GBA it literally says Yoshi is a dinosaur, and that when he gets those wings he is a dragon.

Maybe it’s because the Wii got a lot of normies into gaming, to him signaling the death of gaming being a hobby “for nerds”?

That had happened more than a decade earlier already with the PlayStation.

Not so much the system as I hate shigiru intensely. If he were removed from Nintendo and someone pro western design were installed, it probably stop hating that forgot company so much. I grew up with Nintendo since the NES but as their company went retarded with gimmicks, anti west with their development and shigiru being a scumbag ive grown to hate them and the zealous Nintendo cult fans. Regular fans who can admit Nintendo has many faults are okay, but the cult fans can all get fucked. It was around the time of the Wii release that shigiru revealed just how much of a piece of shit he is.

The man who brought the entire industry back from the dead thanks to his creativity and design genius, who created countless series that have given us incredible fun for the last forty years and counting...

...is the PROBLEM?

He's not perfect, but he's the enemy you know. It could be worse.

They need to be more anti-West at this point.
