I know, I get it...Twink Link, basically saying Link looks like a gay dude. But in the world of the alphabet soup wanting to be seen...gay people shouldn't be an offensive thing now I thought? And as far as I know, Twink is not even a slur or insult. I think it just refers to a feminine looking gay guy. So...alright? What's the problem?

I'm just so tired and exhausted of every potential thing that is not just "happy gamer guy" can and will be considered offensive, and a bannable offense. This is clearly something that wasn't even instigated by someone at Nintendo wanting to flag it. It was automatically detected and banned, which is horse shit. Not to mention there seems to be no way for Nintendo to unban the console.

Just to explain the thread title also, but Nintendo are literally banning the word Twink when one of the characters in Paper Mario is named Twink. Fuck off Nintendo. You can play this game on Switch and Switch 2 right fucking now.

Didn't know "twink" meant anything offensive. It's time to update my vocab again, thanks Nintendo!

Seems like you are overreacting a bit here, OP

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Yes, this is definitely a true story.

No shit lol don't call yourself Twink.

Quit believing everything you read on the internet.

We have had more than enough examples to doubt all of these banned because of X story.
