    The woke left-handed agenda keeps trying to shove their lifestyle down our throats. I don’t have a problem with left-handed “people” per se, I just don’t think it’s appropriate that we’re showing that kind of behavior in video games that get played by children. If they get exposed to that kind of degeneracy they might start to think it’s acceptable to live their life that way.

    I love minecraft for making all life genderless and sexless meaning you can use your imagination.

    For example I always saw minecraft cows as female and gay because they all produce milk and can reproduce with each other.

    Ill never forget how Nintendo switched Link to right handed for Twilight Princess on the Wii because it made for a “more immersive experience”.

    Only to find out it was a completely pointless change bc motion controls were pure gimmick in TP. You end up just flicking your wrist like a maniac, and it doesn’t matter at all that you’re lefty or righty.

      Twilight Princess is one of the few games I have actually quit playing because the controls were so bad, and one of the only remakes I have ever been interested in as a result. It just made my hands hurt and it didn’t seem to matter what direction you swiped even though that was integral to the controls.

        The skyward sword remake on the switch was fine to play at least. Still waiting on twilight princess (i had skyward sword in my head when writing this)

          Was skyward sword the one where you could only save the game at special totems? One of the games i flat out quit at the first dungeon because you couldn’t save where you wanted to like every other one before… why change that?

    99% of the people being outraged about games with gay characters wouldn’t have played the game even if there weren’t gay characters

      Completely ruined Link’s character. Utter betrayal by a company that doesn’t understand one of its most popular franchises or the nuanced and narratively complex reason why he was left handed to begin with (because it is neat)

    Are there even left-handed main characters left? The most famous one that most people know, Link, is slowly becoming right-handed and I’m having a hard time remembering any other main characters who are actually left handed.

      I couldn’t name you a left handed main character, best I can do is name two games which give you the ability to swap between what hand you use. Those being Minecraft and CS2 (counterstrike 2), with CS2 having a dedicated keybind for swapping what hand you use.

      Some of the weapon types in Monster Hunter (Sword & Shield, Lance) have the hunter be left-handed

        You know, I played a lot of lance and never realised that. I guess it’s because it’s right trigger to block?

        I guess canonically that probably means hunters are ambidextrous.

    Hollow knight players: this character has a female voice, and a different character says they are “sisters”, other translations they use feminine when referring to them, but the game technically never says it’s female, so we use “they” pronouns

    Many such cases

    Also HK players: this character is gay and Irish. So I’ll display his heart on a bookshelf
