    And in case, you're wondering, I'll continue to not buy their products.

    So does this just involve Frito-lay, or are you also going to boycott the parent company and their other subsidiaries who are all probably doing the same thing?

    Do not get me wrong, ever since the diabetes came around and I had to eat something aside from really tasty foods of death I have pretty much accomplished the boycott myself. The processed carbs and sugars of most of the foods Pepsico and FL produce are really healthy to just toss out of your diet to begin with. I say go for it.

    I mean, everyone should boycott Pepsi until their marketing staff from the entire past 20+ years are sent to the Hague to stand trial for war crimes against humanity.

    I get the point, but the whole point of Samus' armor was the end game reveal that she was a woman all along, and the character is 1 very rare example in a whole market. Despite Link being male and that being a rare costume among many games in the zelda universe let alone gaming, link is still wearing more than a digital bikini and boots to fight evil.

    Really that whole meme is meant to minimalize the sexism in gaming for female avatars despite it being part of the evidence female armor ends up being ridiculous.

    There's far more to the story than that. The City is majority African American, but the "Good Ole Boys" don't want the City government to reflect that. They have a problem with the City's first African American Mayor. Their problems are far deeper than "mere" racism. The Mayor fired the Chief of Police. The Chief of Police claimed the Mayor assaulted him during that meeting. The Chief left the Mayor's Office, marched down to the Court Office, demanded, and was granted a warrant for Assault 3rd against the Mayor. The Police immediately executed the warrant and arrested the Mayor. After bonding out, the Mayor promptly and publicly released the video of the meeting, which he wisely recorded. No assault took place. There was no physical contact between the two men.

    So, there's a lot to unpack there, not the least of which is a total breakdown of the separation of powers.

    Yeah, I read a lengthy article about all that right after seeing the tweet but didn't want to clutter up this thread with it.

    The problem with that meme is Samus, the character on the left in armour, is female.

    Tererun alludes to it in a subsequent post. The other character is Link, a male.
