A screenshot from the Kirby anime: pink Kirby stands on a blue tiled floor with an angry, scowling expression. White caption text with a black outline at the bottom reads: "fuck". A clear plastic cup holds a pink fruit smoothie on a wooden table, with red boba pearls in the bottom. A cute face is printed on the cup: two tall blue oval eyes with white highlights, round pink cheeks, and a small red mouth. A small Nintendo Switch logo sits near the base. Screenshot of a blog-style article. Title: "How I defeated Fascism With the Power of Love" by Luigi. "Chapter 1: The Power of Love" reads: "The first step in my journey was realizing that it is impossible to defeat fascism with the power of love." Next heading: "Chapter 2: The Power of Incredible Violence". In a store aisle, a large Mario figure in a red cap and blue overalls grips a white flagpole topped with a gold ball and a red pennant bearing an M. Below it, hands hold fanned-out dollar bills, including a ten and a five, like a stripper pole tip. Nintendo Switch Online cards and game boxes line the shelves behind. A giant deflated inflatable Mario lies face-down on a concrete warehouse floor, his red cap and white glove crumpled, in front of a row of dark, unpowered vintage arcade cabinets and pinball machines along a gray wall. No text is visible. Two-panel comparison. Left, text: "Male armor in videogames" above a figure in bulky orange and gold power armor with a red helmet and an arm cannon, as worn by Samus Aran from Metroid. Right, text: "Female armor in videogames" above Link from Breath of the Wild in the teal Gerudo outfit with a face veil, crop top, and baggy purple pants.
