Yoshi lays eggs but he's a male.
Icarus has infinite arrows but is not of infinite mass
Zelda is the woman the legend is named after, and yet she's not even in 1% of the scenes in any of the games
Nintendo Does Not Make Sense
Whenever Zelda's not on screen people should be asking "where's Zelda?"
Exactly why The Wand of Gamelon and Zelda's Adventure are the superior games.
Grimm's fairy tales were gathered by the Grimm brothers instead of authored by them so Zelda could've done something similar. And then called them "The Legend of Zelda" instead of "Zelda's Legend" because it sounds cooler. Also idk loz lore so I'm taking out of my ass rn haha
Yoshi is unnatural because he's been removed from his ecosystem (yoshi's island) and forced to perform labor by the Mario Bros. Also he wears boots, wtf.
Nintendo is mandated to make one transphobic comment every decade.
guess that means seahorses are unnatural too
(only male seahorses can give birth)
The charitable reading is that The Mushroom Kingom is meant to be this Wonderland-like place Mario and Luigi sorta stumbled across one day. Things don't make sense in The Mushroom Kingdom and you're not supposed to think about it too deeply.
The more realistic reading is that nobody thought "Hey is this a transphobia?" while they were writing this line. According to the SMB2 manual, the trans character wishes to be called Birdetta, so they've been deadnaming her for decades. Did we really expect better?
I would invite you to entertain the first reading for a second to step into the consciousness of a canon enjoyer where you need proof that Mario and Luigi are human. I believe a running rabbit in Super Mario Galaxy confirms that Mario is a human while lamenting having been caught by a lowly human. A line like this, taking as an expansion of the canon, like in the first Mario movie where it's revealed that Mario's full name is Mario Mario, one would be crushed to learn that Yoshi is not a dinosaur. Check out a fun exerpt from the Mario wiki:
Although most Yoshis have never been seen without their shoes, the appearance of Boshi in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars confirms that Yoshis have three toes on each foot, and also have white pads on the bottom of their feet, as shown in Super Mario Story Quiz Picture Book 5: Mario's Amusement Park (「スーパーマリオおはなしクイズえほん 5 マリオの ゆうえんち」).[14]
And for what it's worth, this was catalogued in the same page about Yoshi:
It is addressed again in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, where Viridi remarks that there is nothing natural about a male who lays eggs while Palutena asserts that all living beings have both male and female elements.
