the W for gay miis is fantastic, definitely. But there's so much more, too? So much more than simply an option to be romantic with the same gender. You can select any number including none, which is a huge win for bi/pan and aro/ace people!! It's extremely thrilling and I can't wait to have more variances in miis!
And then there's the fact that there's a nonbinary button... Which is something I genuinely did not think possible yet. I don't think people are talking about how big this is - the is probably one of the most MAJOR and VISIBLE media out there to ever include nonbinary representation, and this is NINTENDO we're talking about. The company that will shy away from Anything that might give them intense backlash. Displaying a third option labeled "nonbinary" directly smack in the character creator of their new hit game that people have been waiting for for over a decade. It's not only visible, it's UNAVOIDABLE. If you want to play Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream you HAVE to be reminded that we exist every time you open the character creator just like women and men. I mean, how many people will buy the game and not know what the word even means, and become more familiar with nonbinary genders because of this? Acknowledgement in the general public consciousness like this is going to kickstart something huge.
Tomodachi Life went above and beyond my expectations. For once I'll actually be able to make myself without hiding within one of two options. This time, my Mii will actually be, me.
