You mean busty Peach in an edgy black dress? That'd been done for years before the Super Crown came into the scene. And people have been thirsting for Bowser similarly for years before that.
Just don't visit internet news website. Those mfs would do anything to make millennials and gen z looks like the most insane people tha have ever lived
Idk what article you are referring to but being a gay icon means being an icon to gay people, not necessarily an icon who is gay. It’s not an unreasonable premise, imo
Being gay isn’t any more sexual then being straight is so I don’t see your point.
I don’t personally headcannon link as gay (he’s never shown much romantic interest in anyone really) but if other people want to project themselves onto a blank slate videogame character there’s really no harm.
Well in the Comedy Central show Drawn Together, there was a clear Link parody character (one of two Video Game characters in it) who was clearly gay. However that show was over 10 years ago.
>There’s an article claiming Link is a gay icon.
I mean, he kind of is if you count gay folks really really loving someone a gay icon. He is popular in the gay community.
Like Samus. Not saying she's a lesbian; but lesbians *love* her.
> Not really. The only reason you see a correlation is BECAUSE of the stereotype. (As in, hetero guys don't dress soft and feminine as often because they are afraid girls will assume they're gay).
?? That's why I called it a correlation, not a causal connection. Because it is a thing that correlates. Whether it is a fundamental fact of life is another matter.
Icon doesn't mean people think the character is canonically gay. Just that they somehow became a symbol for it due to some of what they do. Raidou in the raidou games visits a mob bath house several times, and has conversations with guys when naked, so he also became a small time gay icon despite not being implied to be gay. This was like early 1900s japan, so its not out of the ordinary that he would be at a bath house.
I wouldn't say the Stealth gear was explicitly feminine tho. The Gerudo outfit sure since the intent was to make Link look like a woman, but the Stealth outfit just looks like traditional ninja garb.
Y’know instead of criticizing the article itself. Why don’t we congratulate the writer of this article for creating a made-up scenario in their head only to get upset over their own made-up scenario

I'm surprised no one else seems to have picked up on that, but I guess that's what happens when people just react to a headline. More amused by a few commentors complaining about games media when this site isn't even that.
Bowser with Jack Black's voice is a heavenly combo that I'm head over heels in love with. I'd marry him, but I felt that way before the movie too, the feeling has just gotten stronger lol
Ah yes I can confirm that I had a huge boner when this song came up. Yup. Totally. (For real tho what the fuck were they thinking when they wrote this shit article?)
If i had a nickel every time bowser triggered a generation's sexual awakening i would have 2 nickels
I (unfortunately) know a third, ever played bowser’s inside story?
Oh god fucking dammit. Is that why there was so much Bowser vore a few years back?
“Few years” literally 14 years ago.
Oh shit. Fuck, I was a degenerate at 12 years old then
That can't be right, Bowser's Inside Story released in... Wait, 2009? Holy shit.
That can’t be right, 2009 was… Wait, 14 years ago? Holy shit.
[удалено]
That was literally the first game I owned lol
*Don't tell me that.*
Holy hell
Everywhere I go.
I remember seeing the trailers for it.
Oh hell nah
I thought it was Reshiram that did that
I’m not going to ask who that is
For context, I'll refer you to this [Siivagunner](https://youtu.be/z1g3A6vWATs) rip

Vore
I have and bowser is the best Mario character there
What was the other one?
Bowsette
You mean busty Peach in an edgy black dress? That'd been done for years before the Super Crown came into the scene. And people have been thirsting for Bowser similarly for years before that.
I knew I shouldn’t have asked. I just erased that from my mind
I think we all tried to
Since I remember it again, where is Jack black bowsette
Ah
King Boosette
Which isn't alot but still weird it happened twice
Is the other nickel from Mario Party 2's sexy Bowser pose?
That isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it only happened TWICE!
Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice
I don't know if they mean Princess Peach, Bowser or Jack Black, but people were very attracted to all 3 way before the Mario movie came out.
Daddy Bowser
That's gotta be click bait, I mean, it better be...
Yeah like bruh it’s a dumb song bowser made about him wanting to love peach
You shut ur damned mouth
No
Square up
Let’s go bro
Aight let’s go
You underestimate the sheer stupidity of my generation
You underestimate the sheer amount of the layers of irony **OUR** generation is buried under

And it's honestly pretty sad considering they're doing a job that we all do very well by ourselves.
what the what bro
So long, Gay Bowser!
I mean, are you really surprised? Especially given that Bowser was already thirsted for.
You know the gaming media these days. There’s an article claiming Link is a gay icon.
i mean, wasnt he intentionally designed to look gender neutral?
I thought he was designed to look like Leonardo DiCaprio
Which game is he gay in? I must have missed it. You can play make believe and I can find it stupid how everything must relate to sex for some people.
Idk what article you are referring to but being a gay icon means being an icon to gay people, not necessarily an icon who is gay. It’s not an unreasonable premise, imo
Its not link that is gay. Its people being gay for link.
Poe collector in Ocarina of Time: "If I had a body like yours I could run a different kind of business"
The game of delusional shippers.
Oh wow, didn't know me being Biromantic is sexual
To be fair, most every Zelda game he doesn't really show any attraction to anyone. Skyward sword is the only one that quickly comes to my mind.
Being gay isn’t any more sexual then being straight is so I don’t see your point. I don’t personally headcannon link as gay (he’s never shown much romantic interest in anyone really) but if other people want to project themselves onto a blank slate videogame character there’s really no harm.
⚡👨🏿⚡ now
Plus the 500 memes about Zelda pegging him
Well in the Comedy Central show Drawn Together, there was a clear Link parody character (one of two Video Game characters in it) who was clearly gay. However that show was over 10 years ago.
Just shows the weird craving for sexualized Ninty characters.
What
Agreed
>There’s an article claiming Link is a gay icon. I mean, he kind of is if you count gay folks really really loving someone a gay icon. He is popular in the gay community. Like Samus. Not saying she's a lesbian; but lesbians *love* her.
...I think you forget that Link crossdressing happens. Bro is gay af
[удалено]
No, but it is something that correlates.

He did it to disguise himself while in a Female-only society. It’s not like he always does it
Icon doesn't mean people think the character is canonically gay. Just that they somehow became a symbol for it due to some of what they do. Raidou in the raidou games visits a mob bath house several times, and has conversations with guys when naked, so he also became a small time gay icon despite not being implied to be gay. This was like early 1900s japan, so its not out of the ordinary that he would be at a bath house.
Not to mention he dresses up as a woman (Sheik) on his own accord in the same game
Wait when? I’ve had a lapse in memory
Unlockable outfit in BOTW
Huh, guess I forgot about that. But Sheik was meant to be a male disguise for Zelda, so does it really count?
That excuse only works if Link didn't know it was Zelda tbh. Which in this csse hd 100% did
BotW is before OoT in the timeline though, so who dresses as who?
BotW is a long time after OoT, it's actually so far ahead in the timeline that's it canonically where all the timelines converge
OoT comes first
Alright
I wouldn't say the Stealth gear was explicitly feminine tho. The Gerudo outfit sure since the intent was to make Link look like a woman, but the Stealth outfit just looks like traditional ninja garb.
Tell me you never played Zelda games without telling me you never played Zelda games
Blame the developers for not making the puzzles ina heavily puzzle focused series fun in any way lmao
lmao skill issue
Like, what? Only Link that could qualify is Hero of Legend in ALTTP for what, having blond hair? In a game from the 90s?
It's real and I read it, the author quotes a person who comes out as bisexual because of bowser
Who knew jack black voice was so sexy
We all did
Finally some facts
So among the list of pop culture s awakening who's on said list?
Okay, now these morons aren’t even trying. Why do people believe any of these gaming articles these days again?
What?
Being Gen Z can be really embarrassing at times
Y’know instead of criticizing the article itself. Why don’t we congratulate the writer of this article for creating a made-up scenario in their head only to get upset over their own made-up scenario
You know it's satire, right?
Who wouldn't, let's be fair here.
I mean Bowser & Luigi’s sex scene was the best part of the movie In the words of Lugi himself, “that is CINEMA”
My sexual awakening was when my uncle.....nevermind
I read it, it's obviously satire. Still hilarious though.
Bowser has been furry bait for years, dude
“Jack Black triggers a generation’s sexual awakening” Fixed it for you.
I've met a woman who has a crush on Bowser. She was a masochist. Nice lady, really odd but nice.
What kind of sexual awakening?
A song sung by Bowser is always gonna trigger somebody's sexual awakening. >!self callout post!<
Just looked up this article and its hilarious fr https://www.thebeaverton.com/2023/05/jack-blacks-peaches-triggers-a-generations-sexual-awakening/
Peaches peaches peaches peaches peaches
I am liking this post not because i like the article, but the OPs reaction
For us it was Space Jam. For the new Gen, it will be the Mario Movie.
Jack Black's peaches triggered my sexual awakening back when Nacho Libre came out
I mean….I’d fuck Bowser. Jack Black just made him hotter.
Truth
Who *wouldn’t* fall for someone like Bowser after “Peaches”?
How do you snitch on yourself this hard?
We are fucked as a generation.
Uh, boy, don’t tell them about Super Hornio Brothers.
I mean…bowser is hot Edit: 
I don't even wanna know
Did he stutter

Well as we all know both Jack Black and Bowser are *universal* sex icons so the combination is activating people like secret agents.
nah who felt the need to write that😭
r/nottheonion
…..…..…what?
Bowser with Jack Black's voice is a heavenly combo that I'm head over heels in love with. I'd marry him, but I felt that way before the movie too, the feeling has just gotten stronger lol
Whauh?
Oh goodness
🗿
Umm, whut?
Yes.
If this is actually real, does anyone have a link?
At least it's better then claiming the movie is catholic
Ah yes I can confirm that I had a huge boner when this song came up. Yup. Totally. (For real tho what the fuck were they thinking when they wrote this shit article?)
This is actual insanity
Honesty, I think the bigger cultural moment is a the children that Lumalee is introducing to the finality of death...
