>>90377619No, that one was different. How can you compare Samus and Garfield? She is a sex symbol and a power icon, thus making her orientation and identity important to those who play the games. Garfield, on the other hand, is a lazy cat who loves lasagna and a good afternoon snooze.
As a work of fiction, I think its silly to insist that a character is one thing or another.
People who claim Samus is trans should probably keep it to themselves, lest their need for a fictitious role model be shattered by internet arguments.
>>90377634I'm sorry if you don't get the joke, but I can't explain it any further than "ironic intense feelings over something insignificant." Like the "/ck/ reacting angrily to food" jokes.
While perhaps sparked by the resurgence of Garfield jokes a la Lasagna Cat, or in reference to one of Garfield's 9 reincarnations, a female cat named Diana featured in the 1998 TV Movie "Garfield: His 9 Lives" (pic related.)
I hope I explained it clearly enough. Please rest assured it is all in good fun, and remember not to get too worked up about Garfield goofs.
