I honestly just want to cry. 

ADAM (yes, the extremely transphobic, lesbophobic film) has been nominated for a GLAAD award - if you don’t know, those are one of the biggest LGBTQ media awards to exist. 

I don’t know what to do at this point. I’ve tried so hard to raise awareness. And I keep saying, I’m not even trying to ban people from watching it but just letting people know what it’s really about (a transphobic cishet person pretending to be trans to rape lesbians!!) because the film promotes itself as LGBTQ representation and I don’t think it’s okay to basically trick vulnerable LGBTQ teens into watching it when it’s not representation at all. 

But even if it doesn’t win, being nominated in the first place gives their claims of LGBTQ representation more credibility. This is going to hurt people. 

I’m just so tired. I’ve tried my best and nothing has worked. The people who have actual platforms just keep refusing to listen to us anyway. No one cares.

Okay, instead of crying, I got angry and wrote an open letter to GLAAD explaining in detail why this film is harmful and why it doesn’t count as representation, asking them to rescind the nomination.

I know people would like die to defend Nintendo but there still wasn’t a technical reason to cut down the Pokedex and there ain’t a technical reason why you’ll only get one Animal Crossing island per Switch console. You heard about that shit right?? You can’t have multiple saves even if you buy it multiple times on cartridge or log into different Nintendo accounts. One switch, one file.

Guys this is not how Animal Crossing ever worked before and there’s no chance of it being just accident or incompetency. They had to very deliberately add extra programming so that people can’t share a switch to play their own different files, which a LOT of households have traditionally done with this series so they aren’t fighting with each other over how to landscape the town or which villagers to work towards.

there’s a few ppl in the notes arguing animal crossing was never meant to have multiple save files, and i think at least part of what they’re overlooking is that, to my knowledge, not a single other game on the switch has this problem/“feature”

a single instance of nintendo online applies to one nintendo account. in games like mario kart, mario party, anything where the main difference between save files is only the amount of things you’ve unlocked? you’re still given different saves between accounts

every switch release i’ve played works like this, every game that doesn’t have have multiple files built in, even pokémon swsh won’t make you buy an entire new CONSOLE to let your siblings or partner or parents or etc play

the fact that this feature was REMOVED for a game where customization is the main draw shows, at best, a disgusting lack of forethought and incompetence. and a company as big as nintendo doesnt just make decisions without thinking

Let’s reiterate that Nintendo went out of their way to make a single global save for the entire console. That’s not the normal mode of operation for Switch games. Save data is meant to be sandboxed and stored per-user/profile, not per device.

I’ve not developed for Switch but I suspect that this is one of those things that would violate their own TRCs (Technical Requirement Checklist) if it were to happen in a third-party game. Nintendo has always been bad at following their own rules, but usually not this far to the detriment of the player.

YOU ONLY GET ONE FILE PER SWITCH?!?!? h ive been avoiding animal crossing spoilerz so i didn't know that
