TV may or may not be photoshopped, but I wouldn’t be shocked if someone did take a photo of this and it turned out to be real.

One does need to make those pixels and resolution look good for the Reddit gold and Instagram likes.
 
It may belong more to the topic of gaming journalism but sure why not. Here's the archive link:

The Splatoon series is widely considered amongst fans to be one of the coolest franchises in Nintendo's line-up, showcasing style and modern sensibilities that other IP in its catalogue has nary even touched upon.

With Splatoon 3, however, it seems Nintendo may have taken a bigger step in the direction of diversity and representation. As part of its recent Direct Presentation, it was revealed that a new trio called 'Deep Cut' would be handling the in-game news items, replacing the 'Squid Sisters' from Splatoon 1 and Pearl and Marina from the last game. The group consists of Shiver, Frye, and Big Man, with the former proving to be a popular talking point amongst fans, many of whom believe that Shiver may be Nintendo's first major non-binary character.

While not explicitly confirmed nor denied by Nintendo itself, fans have noted that all references to Shiver thus far have conspicuously refrained from mentioning their gender or using gender-specific references.

This appears to be consistent across all languages, with dialogue written to avoid requiring conjugating adjectives or verbs in a way that would explicitly indicate gender (as they might in French or Spanish, for example). Given the extensive work that goes into localising games in various regions, it's near impossible that this is a coincidence.

Furthermore, Japanese text for the game never refers to Shiver with any first-person pronouns. Terms such as 'atashi' (for female) or 'boku' (for male) are typically used, but again, there seems to have been a very conscious decision made to not use such references. With regards to Frye and Big Man, both characters have been referred to with gendered terms, with Frye specifically referring to herself as the "queen of eels" in the French version of Deep Cut's introduction.

Many fans have reacted positively to the possibility of a non-binary character in a huge Nintendo franchise:

In addition, fans have also noticed that the game's logo and overall colour scheme is remarkably similar to the non-binary flag, with extensive use of yellows, purples, whites, and blacks, as demonstrated in the below mock-up. This may, of course, be a bit of a coincidence in the grand scheme of things, but it's a cool detail to note, regardless!

Indeed, if true, the introduction of a prominent non-binary character to Splatoon 3 would indicate a huge step forward for representation in Nintendo video games, and we're all here for it!

The squid girls of the group are named Fuuka (the blue one) and Utsuho (the gyaru with the 5-head) in japanese btw.

>Trannies ignore the japs, immediately start to push their agenda to everyone and demand more games cater to them.

This happened with a Xenoblade 3 character apparently too.

There's a female character but in the western release she has they/them pronouns and trannies are trying to say she is gender neutral in the Japanese version too but that's a complete lie

It's great (in a pretty stupid way) because she is the only character the main cast refer to as they/them but there is absolutely no reason. Nor does she ever ask to be called that. The party just does it because reasons.

I’ve rarely used this word on the Internet, but Nintendo fans really need to practice gatekeeping. From what I looked at here, it almost sounds disrespectful to the creators of Splatoon that they’re trying to make this character into something she’s not.

This whole situation about Bridget being “trans” in Guilty Gear: Strike has made more trannies become selfish and arrogant on the Internet that it does not translate well into sales and making more new fans. It’s just insane to me that they don’t care for the lore of these games.

We know for a fact that Shiver's gonna be exclusively refered to as female in the original Japanese release because as Xenoblade2/3 has shown, dubbers are more than willing to add new shit into it for the American audience if it means some Troon might now buy it because of the added shit.
 
Most of you guys already know this, but for those that don't read the game journalism and culture war threads, this is has been happening for a while. Trans-lators changing a games story to add their own politics, stories, and memes. Nintendo Treehouse and 8-4 (a third party that regularly translates Nintendo games) are known as some of the worst offenders for this.

Twitter troons have been trying trying this shit with Nintendo games since Breath of the Wild at least, where they tried to say Link was female because his "riding posture" and used a bow.

I think he took a PC "ultrawide" monitor and is using it as a TV.
 
I found the absolutely most ignorant post yesterday that I believe it might have been bait, saying that Link was a trans icon because of his Androgyny and that because he looks like a twink that means he is non-binary.

Why is it that troon and troon lovers always end up being the most sexist people?
