Princess Peach is a Beast

Facebook comments strike back!

So in the comments of a Nintendo post (on Facebook *shiver*) I saw someone complain about how they're sick of Princess Peach being portrayed as a weak damsel in need of saving. This person was demanding a game where Princess Peach rescues the Mario Bros instead of them rescuing her, and they insulted Nintendo for being 'sexist'.
 
Alright so FIRST of all, in 2005 Nintendo released a game for the DS called Super Princess Peach, it's an awesome game with a lot of replay-ability and oh... guess what? You play as Peach and rescue Mario. It's a shame that this game hasn't had any sequels considering it was quite popular and had a lot of potential. But that's another story.


Princess Toadstool is also a playable character in Super Mario Bros. 2, where she was the favourite character of many players because she could fly! Girl power, am I right?


SECONDLY, Princess Peach is anything but weak. Just because she is feminine and is often in spots of trouble, it doesn't mean she isn't a tough cookie. Idk about you, but I couldn't really fight off a giant dragon turtle thing if it tried to kidnap me, even though I'm not a dainty Princess. The poor girl just has tough luck.

In the Smash Bros. games, Princess Peach is a go-to character for me because she is GOOD at fighting. People easily underestimate her because she is a pretty Princess (a character for girl players, some would say), but that fact just makes her all the more stronger. A frying pan as a weapon? Hell yeah! I'll KO you with it. You feeling hungry? How about a turnip to the head!

And THIRDLY, I think the fact that this person underestimated Princess Peach due to her appearance is sexist. They did no research into Peach's character and how she has been portrayed in games, they just assumed. Nintendo is the last video game company I would ever label as sexist, it goes against everything they're trying to achieve.

Aight, I'm out.

P.S. Princess Peach is a babe

    I think people are just looking for any reason to attack something, regardless if its an innocent game from decades ago. They would just be trying to stir the pot to get themselves some attention. Princess Peach is hella strong, screw people that think otherwise.

Internet Semantics: Zippidy Zoppidy give me the Boppidy

Lauren Girardin's published an article on govloop.com about The 7 Barriers to Digital Communication . I'd like to talk about one of these barriers in particular, the Semantic barrier. Semantics refers to the way something is interpreted, aka its meaning. For example, the word "yeet" formally means to throw. But through internet usage it has evolved to mean so much more. If I ask my friend if she is still interested in hanging out and she responds with "yeet", we would both interpret that as her saying "yes, I'm still interested". But if I were to say "yeet" to my mother, she would NOT interpret that in the same way, in fact, she would be very confused. This is an example of semantics. The language of the internet is in a league of its own and only people who use the internet in certain ways are able to understand it. Humour in particular has been so warped that what makes most things funny is that they should not be funny, or that t...

4chan, 8chan, and Liveleak blocked in Australia

  This is absolutely outrageous. There are horrible things happening all over the world all the time. I mean no disrespect to the victims of the NZ mosque shooting when I say this, but why is there so much censorship after this particular event? What makes the footage of THIS shooting more awful than any other? Why is THIS shooting causing so much outrage in the media in comparison to videos of Mexican cartels flaying people alive. Yeah, that's just on the internet. Do I ever want to go to Brazil? Nope, not after what I've seen. If a Chinese person dies at work or in public you can guarantee it's on the internet for millions of eyes to view. Most school shootings and other public shootings are captured by onlookers, victims, or even the offenders themselves. Internet users globally, have seen it all. So why are all of THESE things fine, but not this ONE shooting? The footage of this shooting got put on the internet and now moderators of websites, ISPs and now Tel...

The Pink Tax

Image
Does this come in pink? Okay, so you’ve probably heard of  ‘The Pink Tax’  before. Particularly if you call yourself a feminist. This  ‘Pink Tax’  refers to the fact that products marketed towards women cost more than  similar  products that are marketed towards men (e.g. razors, body wash, most self-care products). The theory is that  women pay more for the same products as men , which is entirely false. It gives off the impression that cashiers add some  female-fee  to your total regardless of what you buy at the supermarket. No, people are complaining that  similar  products have different costs. The facts are that the  female equivalent of some products cost more than the male ones because they contain more or different ingredients. That should seem logical to everyone, right?   For example, razors. When I go to buy myself a razor, my eyes find their way to the wall of pink and they almost bulge out of my head wh...
