A CRITIC'S RESPONSE Mr. Dobson... sir...buddy...pal. amigo...hombre.. t want to halp you...but I can't do it alona. I noed some halp mysalf ...from you. Halp ma to halp you. Vou're navar gonna gat anywhara if you ignore all of your 'hatera' and detractors and cnitics. Positive praise does nothing for you. Constructive criticism and people who point out the flaws in what you do...that's what you need. That's what all artists need. It helps you to grow. There obvious flaws here...and as a fellow Nintendo fan, I feel thst it wouldn't be right to not bring them up. I won't comment on the quality of your artwork because I myself am not much of an artist.. .but the quality of the idess you're trying to present is an entirely different matter a matter that I feel I'm competent enough to call you out on. Let me break it down, buddy..psnel by panel. Panel ↓ . you cite the Internet as the reason why the characters are being localized despite the fact that the majority of these changes happened in the @arly to mid 90's. Also, t don't sae how localization' has anything to do with thase changas, since that imply changad the charactars to appeal to a diffarant locala. Most axamplas you give of tha charactars are actually how thay wara localized for wastern cartoons and such. Most of these changas are actually ramoving tha localizing changes made on the characters. The Internet has nothing to do with any of this, Andy baby... Panel 2 Mario has always been an Itslian Americen from Brooklyn. This has never changed. His only official voice has been Charles Martinet, and it's always been an Italian accent. Captain Lou was a great man. Andy...I don't know if he was a real captain or not. but he was a heck of a guy. However...he's not, nor has he ever been, the actual voice of Maric. You might as well complein about Mega Man not being green and not using Mega' in ell of his sentences. Panal 3 - You're using tha modal of Princass Peach from the cartoon. Her original hair color was rad, though that was only in tha first two games and prasumably it was bacause of color limitations. In all promotional art since Super Mario Bros 2 (That's 'The Lost Levels to ya'll that don't know), her hair was bionde. It was became blonde in-game with Super Mario World in 1990. Internet had nothing to do with it. She's never been a tough fighter and her name is still Princess Toadstool, Peach' is a nickname. She's never had Popeye arms and she's always been the damsel in distress, Andy. The 'so bad they're good' DiC cartoons aren 't what you should be paying attention to (mainly because Nintendo didn't make them). Panel 4-Link has undergone more design changes than any of the other character in the comic. He officially became blonde in 1991 with A Link to the past (though color limitations mada his hair appaar pink). This was long befora the Intarnat got big and had nothing to do with the damand of'anime fangirls". His dasign has gone from realistic to cartoony to dark to colorful, but he's naver appeared axtremely affaminata. I notice that evan in comics you've done about Skyward Sword, you'va made his hair brown. That's petty, Andy. That's petty and stupid. Zelda has had more position as his romandc interest in recent games than in early games, including Wind Waker, Spirt Tracks, and Skyward Sword. The only older game which implies romance was Zelda 2. ASo, .effeminine' is not a word Pane! 5·Samus has never appeared in a single garme without her power armor while the Zero Suit premiered in 2004, Samus has never been a stranger to skimpy clothing. She's seen in a leotard or a bikini in almost every Metroid game. In fact. the Zero Suit is actually a lot more practical than the clothing she had worn without her power armor in previous games. Her hair has only appeared green in a single game, at the end of the original Metroid...and this was only if the player received the Varia Suit (otherwise, it's brown). It appears graen only because of color limitations at the time and it was meant to ba blonda. Literally the only changa that might be abla to be attributad to the Intarnat the inclusion of the Zero Suit, which doesn't matter anyway since Samu in tight clothing has always been something ofコtradition. Even without the Zero Suit, te main demographic for Metroid games has slways been men anyway. Finally, I'm not sure how legitimate your criticisms of her character are when you seem to love Other M and defend her c n in it...something that the majority of dedicsted Metroid fans seem to despise Panel 6 Nintendo has never been one to pretend certain things have never happened. They still acknowledge the brown-haired. big-nosed version of Link from the first two Zelda games, and even make occasional neds to the Virtual Boy, despite the massive failure that came with it. The only things that Nintendo seems to ignore are the CD gamas, and that's because thay ware horrible abominations sant from Hall This ls te truth. Andy. Your comic has faws. Anyone who calls this 'so true' or 'coactly what I thought.? Ignora them. They don't know thing bout what they're talkng about. You're passionate about Nintendo, Andy, and I respect that...but as a fellow Nintendo fan, I'm telling you (to help you, not to hurt youl that you are extremely confused when it comes to Nintendo's games and history. I don't want to make you feel bed..but the fact is, actual Nintendo fans are embarrassed by the misinformation you spreed with cemies like these TOM'S RESPONSE Localization by TomPreston Fan Art / Manga & Anime / Digital / Games ©2010-2012 "TomPreston I love Nintendo, but some of their characterization choices over the years have been a bit odd to me...

NOTHING HAS F------ CHANGED 10
Gamergate (harassment campaign) Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Gamergate (disambiguation). Gamergate or GamerGate (GG)[¹] was a loosely organized misogynistic online harassment campaign and a right-wing backlash against feminism, diversity, and progressivism in video game culture. [2][³] It was conducted using the hashtag "#Gamergate" primarily in 2014 and 2015.[1][4][5][6] Beginning in August 2014, Gamergate targeted women in the video game industry, most notably feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian and video game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, among others.[7][8][9][10][11] The harassment campaign included doxing, r--- threats, and death threats.[12][13][14] Gamergate proponents ("Gamergaters") stated that they were a social movement, but lacked well-defined goals, a coherent message, and leaders, making Gamergate difficult to define.[15][16][17] Gamergaters claimed to promote ethics in video games journalism, claimed to be protecting the "gamer" identity, and opposed what they asserted as "political correctness" in video games.[18][19][20][21][22] Read Date Target Gamergate, online harassment campaign in 2014-15 that targeted women in the video game industry. The attacks were attributed largely to white male right-wing gamers who railed against the rise and influence of women and feminism in the industry. Gamergate served as a recruiting tool for the growing alt-right movement and helped spur the online “Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, which soon spawned the wider QAnon conspiracy movement. …………………………....…..……….….....

[2][36] Gamergate led figures both inside and outside the gaming industry to focus on methods of addressing online harassment, ways to minimize harm, and prevent similar events.

X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26

As a long time Nintendo fan I feel the same way with all this misinformation going on. Also notice he seems to be using Satoru Iwata in this. Zero Suit aside, which was something created by one of Samus' artists during the making of Zero Mission (2004), none of these changes occurred during Iwata's presidency at Nintendo, the changes were made by people like Shigeru Miyamoto and co. back in the early 90s, since by that point in time this was when he and the other designers at Nintendo EAD were finalizing certain aspects about these series after having a few games on the NES to work out "what works and what doesn't" (they were still brand new in the 80s), and realizing that without having to deal with the NES' limited color palette they could finally make the characters look closer to the artwork.

The fact that Preston is resorting to a childish "LALALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!" kind of response instead of owning up to "okay I messed up on my information" makes me just go "good lord this guy's got a huge ego" (and yeah I saw him once say he "refuses" to acknowledge Link's blonde hair, which annoys me almost as much as that guy from Game Theory ignoring actual game canon in order to push some rather BS non-canon "theories" that his fans like to shout repeatedly like parrots). Also him acting like the DiC cartoons are "canon" is also very annoying as those need to be treated as their own alternate universe.
