[Nintendo IR]
At Nintendo’s annual shareholders meeting, a Splatoon fan complained directly to the company president about “preferential treatment of girl Inklings / Octolings” in Splatoon 3.
It’s causing a lot of drama on Japanese Twitter.
So, yeah… That happened.
Apparently, they were talking for quite a while, and Furukawa (company president) eventually had to interrupt to say that their question was too long.
The person kept going.
In the end, Furukawa’s response was simply “thanks for your opinion”.
(thanks

Bruh… In almost all shooters, boys are the ones that looks like preferred, but in splatoon are girls the example protagonist the developers give us… but that doesn’t mean anything, since we can change and choose our “Style” (I like that haha) and be happy with it! 🫶❤️❤️

I mean it's quite literally true. Female inklings were created before Male ones and If I remember correctly, devs said in early S1 interviews that they forgot they needed to make boy playable characters because the female design was just better. something like that.
@OatmealDome
There were a million better things to complain about regarding Nintendo and even Splatoon 3 itself and they complain about this?
Lmfao, sure let's address all the non issues. Splatoon 3 has problems but this is not one of them.
@OatmealDome
I guess they might be a little bit? Not nearly as much as the first two games though. And they didn't mention anything about balance, map design, or the frequency of updates?
