      From the article.

      revealed that a remake of their 2004 video game Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is slated to revive a character’s transgender identity. The remake has the character Vivian explicitly discuss her gender identity in dialogue with Mario, stating that after she realized she was a girl and not a boy, her evil siblings started to bully her.

              No, one said you aren’t allowed to have your shitty opinion. I just told you that your opinion is shitty. I could have just downvoted you like everyone else for your shitty opinion. But I felt like taking a break moment out of my day to tell you that your opinion was shitty. You are definitely allowed to continue to have shitty opinions, but everyone else is also allowed to tell you that your opinion is shitty.

    For those who didn’t read the article, the game is already released, it’s the Paper Mario Thousand Year Door remake. In the Japanese text of the original gamecube release, Vivian was a trans character. The English localisation of the Gamecube release cut out all references to her being trans.

    The article is saying the Switch remake’s English translation now contains the cut dialogue that fleshes out Vivians backstory.

      that’s so fugly. gotta love it when stuff gets not lost, but thrown out in translation because some snobby corporate idiotfucker is too condescending to tell you the truth. How many other times has that happened in the last three thousand years, I wonder rhetorically.
