They wanted something.
They got it.
Now they don't want it.

We already know that these people have no sense of logic. It's not something new. Let them cry and ignore them.

how would they respond if nintendo was like
"welp looks like people don't want tinkle" and removed her?
>>
>>318086759
That's the wrong question.

That people can't be pleased, because they don't want to. They just want some excuse to be angry and post on twitter about it.

They have no other objective aside from being upset. That's why there's no point on pandering them.
>>
>>318085368
What they wanted was a strong and empowering female replacing the male main character of the series. Not only is Linkle not a replacement for Link, she's not the type of female they wanted in the first place.
>>
>>318087768
Yeah... It's hard living in the first world while being an inconsolable crybaby.

There's many more actual problems that require attention, like the wage gap, and these people are focusing in such banal bullshit.

Fuck them.

do they want the generic "strong female character" shit or something?

I mean theres a lot of different types of girls in this world that are highly independent

You can't please someone who enjoys being displeased all the time. Take away from them their motives for being upset and you take their lifestyle.

the wage gap isn't real senpai
the male cashier at Mcdonalds isn't payed more than the female one
if for any reason he is
its because he is a more effective/reliable employee for whatever reason.


people have higher pay not because of their gender
but because their employer sees them as more of an asset
and if in a customer service job or a construction site gender does come in to play in effectiveness
then thats how the world works

It's 'paid'.

You are mistaking cause and effect. The wage gap is real. It happens at all levels. During the hack at Sony the salaries of actors and actresses were leaked, and it showed that it even in that sector happens. The discourse of Patricia Arquette addressed this.

I dislike the SJW as much as any other rational human being, but let's not delude ourselves when it comes to actual matters.

>>318088096
>wage gap

It's been debunked so many times, yet it keeps coming back because people want to believe women are being discriminated against. If any gap exists, it's young women out-earning young men.

well maybe its documented but it definitely doesn't seem remotely logical

I cant imagine the CEOS at sony actually making an executive decision to pay their female employees less

if so im surprised that isn't illegal if its for the exact same job and with the same work ethic as a male counterpart

like maybe they're payed less because they have yet to receive a raise?

or is this all about raises?
>>
>>318089548
>pointing out your stupidity means we're from /pol/

It's clear you are either trolling or are too stupid to reason with. Fact is women's choices are having a negative effect on their earning, not discrimination. Feel free to believe what you want.
>>
>>318089642
Women don't seek raises as aggressively as men, which is one reason why they earn less. When you factor everything there is no wage gap, only idiots who look at the average pay of men and women and disregard everything else.

If you can't envision people making illogical decisions you know nothing about us humans.

>people who played Hyrule Warriors see Linkle, think it'd be cool if we had her

>people who never played Hyrule Warriors think she represents something more than she is.
>>
people want a female link, not a separate character that sort of looks like link but actually isn't

>>318090048 is also right. linkle is getting way too much focus when she really doesn't in anyway.

No, only people do.

Such as the ones who perpetuate the lie of the wage gap.

>>318088096
This is something that irks me. Famous actresses are becoming annoying feminist/SJW, whining about male producers, meanwhile still agreeing to make movies and take paychecks from said producers, but the other feminist/SJW think they have an ally, while the people with brains are pointing it out.

>>318085368
I find it interesting whatthey're complaining about when the game is already mostly female characters.

I mean,

>Female
Zelda, Impa, Sheik, Lana, Ruto, Agitha, two different kinds of Midna, Fi, Cia, The great fairy (who is a weapon, but could still count), Tetra, and now Linkle.
>Male
Two kinds of links, Ganondorf, Darunia, Zant, Ghirahim, volga, Wizzro, tingle, the king of red lions, and skull kid

That's 12-13 female characters and 11 male characters. Take away all the DLC characters and go with just who was in the box at launch, and that ratio turns to 8-9 Females and 5 Males.
Lets even go a step further and go with only heroic, good guy characters who aren't for sexual and are portrayed entirely positively at launch. The ratio is (still) 8-9 females, and 2 Males.
>>
>>318093045
It's almost like if the people that are complaining about Linkle don't actually play the game.
