DO NOT BUY ANY GAME WITH A LOOT BOX SYSTEM!!

[WOMAN (OFF-CAMERA):] He’s gonna come sit by you.

[MAN:] That’s crazy!

[WOMAN (LAUGHING):] Try to pet him.

[MAN:] No, nah, he’s got that big-ass beak on him!

[BIRD:] Fuck you!

Me: Oh haha, what a weird thing, probably some remnant from the debugging process -

“Since that was a game that Satoru Iwata programmed himself, this could have been intended as a way of saying that Iwata is spiritually a part of every Switch and is watching over and protecting every system.”

Me:

On July 11th*, the date of Iwata’s passing, doing Iwata’s “directly to you” motion with the Joy-Cons on the home screen will play a sound clip of Iwata and launch the game.

(* Before you try this yourself, note that simply changing the date on your system will not work, as this runs off the Switch’s internal internet-synced clock, meaning that changing the date manually will only work if the system has never been connected to the internet)

Firstly, opening the game like this person is in the video is only possible with a brand new unit on system version 1.0.0 that has never been connected to the Internet. Because of this, opening it is pretty hard to replicate, unless if you have a completely brand new Switch. So, even if the system’s internal date is on July 11, it still won’t open if the system version is up to date.

The thing is, it’s not supposed to be opened.

The hidden Golf game has been described as an omamori, which, in Japanese culture, is a charm usually bought at shrines that offers spiritual protection and good luck if you keep it close to you. Sometimes they’re made of cloth, and look like a tiny bag, which can contain a written prayer. People often tie them to something like a purse or a backpack, so that it’s always with them. Here are a bunch of different ones:

Omamori are not supposed to be opened, as doing so is said to remove its blessing.

I’m curious if people combed through your entire blog for anything they could latch on to and then whip up a witch hunt, directed at you, you’d be so fucking quick to condemn this person.

Fuck off.  No, seriously, fuck right off.  

You’re the fucking cancer that kills fandoms.  You’re the kind of asshole who makes Steven Universe the laughing stock of the entire internet.  You’re the kind of dipshit that turns people off of engaging with your fandom.  You’re the jackasses who tried to threaten the Voltron creators unless their ship was made canon.

You’re the awful kind of human being that ruins something people create because you have nothing of value in your own life to cherish.  NOT the artist.  The artist, if anything, would’ve fucking promoted the game more than you.

Compare your fucking actions.  The artist made a piece of fan art that maybe got more people into the game, got more people into the fandom.  YOU have actively discouraged people from enjoying the community and made it toxic, to the point where the developers have had to step in and condemn it.

How the fuck do you think the game devs feel about your and others’ shitty behavior toward this artist, who has done NOTHING wrong.

So I’ll say this again.

You are the exact kind of person who made Steven Universe’s and Voltron’s fandoms shit.  I never said you WERE part of the fandom, I said you were the kind of person who made those fandoms awful and toxic.

You’re the kind of person who are like in Steven Universe, who will fucking call anyone who draws any character a shade too light racist.  And guess what?  That’s led to the entire fandom being comprised of nothing but toxic callouts as people attempt to prove to one another that they’re the most fucking concerned about “isms”.

THAT is how it is harmful.  Because you’re so fucking obsessed with “calling out” this piece of fanart that you felt the need to make this post.

You saying “They shouldn’t be getting death threats, but…”

NO.

No buts.  Nothing needs to be said.  Anything fucking after that is you masturbating to your own fucking virtue and moral superiority.

You’re not the fucking champion of trans people or fat people.  If anything, you’ve made those groups look fucking deranged by participating in this witch hunt, justified by crusading for those groups.

You’re doing far more goddamn harm than good.
