I dare not ask, but... why?
Because she doesn't have the classic costume. Even though it's going to be DLC at some point. The complaints were super minor and most sensible SF fans told the idiots complaining to shut up or ignored them. Some of those same idiots were cry-speculating that Capcom or the "SJWs" would "censor" Juri's feet. Ignore them and move on.

Its a common trend for the far right to take a beloved media product and try to claim it as their own. They claim that product as the TRUE nerd product for TRUE nerds which REJECTS ''wokeness''. One of my favorite examples is Ghost of Tsushima which got billed as the TRUE game for the TRUE gamers coming to save gaming wokeness. There's also the Sonic movie which the far right swore was a deliberate challenge to, and rejection of Birds of Prey.

The scheme is to take a popular game or movie and pretend that it deliberately caters to the far right, and then contrast it to a product that recently pissed off the far right. Ghost was contrasted against the Last of Us. Sonic was contrasted against Birds of Prey.

And now the far right has come for Mario.

'' Super Mario bros HUMILIATES Disney and Establishment Critics by Rejecting Wokeness'' some idiot youtuber writes, deliberately trying to make it seem as if Mario is some conservative alternative to Star Wars. The scheme is to take the success of the Mario movie and pretend that its the conservative media audience rebelling against Disney.

And the funny thing is that whether the products in question are actually woke or not isn't taken into account by the far right at all when they make these claims. They claim Mario is a deliberate rejection of ''wokeness'', but the movie seems to have gone out of its way NOT to make Peach the typical damsel in distress she usually is. One of the trailers even have her outshine and roll her eyes at the male hero, a move that typical gets the far right seething. Its the same with the other examples. The far right insists Ghost of Tsuchima was the one true game for the true games but the narrative of that game was thoroughly left leaning, and they made it a point to make the characters relatively unattractive which is usually a mortal sin according to the far right. Even Sonic which supposedly was the anti woke champion against Birds of Prey had Eggman quote Donald Trump.

What's so pathetic about this is how painfully transparent it is. They only latch on to these ''true nerd products for the true nerds'' because they are popular rather than because the product confirms or denies their views. Had the Mario movie been a trainwreck then the very same people claiming Mario as an anti woke icon would use the fact that Peach isn't a damsel to brand the movie as woke and that this is what ruined the movie. If Ghost of Tsuchima hadn't been as good the far right would have insisted that the ''anti traditional'' values and ''ugly'' characters turned people away, and if the Sonic movie had been as horrible as everyone first assumed they'd have smugly gloated about the writers being too busy coming up with Trump jokes to write a proper script.

Its inept demagoguery against ''the establishment'' disguised as media analysis.

And before all that, it was these same assholes putting Alita against Captain Marvel. Claiming that Alita is a "true" female action film that is "anti-SJW/woke", when the film has plenty of liberal and left leaning philosophies or views. Be it the movie or especially the original manga. I didn't care for Captain Marvel, but the worse you can say about the movie was that it's okay. As for the whole Sonic vs HQ "debate", most sensible fans of either side of the fandom, told the right-wing nuts to shut fuck up and leave everyone alone. They put an end to that shit real early.

I can say a lot worse about that movie, but not because it was part of s SJW plot to destroy Marvel or whatever.
The only good thing can say about whenever these right-wing assholes come up and start this shit, a majority of either fans/creators from either "competing" IPs tell the fuck-nuts to screw off, get a life, and leave everyone else alone. We've seen this with Tsushima and TLOUS II (it was very heartwarming to see fans of either IP or both ban together to fight cruel hatred) and so on.

Oh, the Mario movie has far from totally won them over. They were already mad when the trailer made it clear Peach wasn't going to just be a damsel in distress and plenty of them are speculating
that Luigi spending most of the movie in captivity is a sinister plot to appease the feminists. I suspect they'll totally turn on the sequel if it gives Peach even more feats and has Mario needing to be rescued.

Ben Shapiro was the first start bitching about this when the second trailer revealed Peach being Action Princess. These idiots either don't know or forget that Peach has fought with Mario in (or against in Smash Bros. I don't care if the game is considered "non-canon". Most of them would not give shit either for petty reasons.) Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario 3D World. The latter of which is just a expanded remake of 2. In adapted media, Peach has stepped up to bad ass and either to save Mario, Luigi, or both of the plumbers in either the first cartoon or the comic book adaptions that came out in the 90s. All of which you can still buy in either book stores, media stores, or on Amazon for a cheap or good price. These assholes don't know shit, will do anything to be contrarian or ignore obvious evidence for sake appealing shallow assholes as bad as them or barely worse.

Oh god, please let this be exclusive to the movie. I don't want the Mario series as a whole to become associated with anti woke idiocy. Come on. It's just Mario. He's just a decent, hard working italian man. Leave him alone. Take Sonic instead, that guy has always been kind of a douche.

Trust me, they're gonna ride this train as long as possible and jump on other Nintendo and video games properties when given the chance. The best thing you can do this is tell these fucking fuckers to fuck off! I'll pray that they don't do anything more than this, but that is more than likely not going to happen. Just stand up and call them out on their bullshit.

Take Sonic instead, that guy has always been kind of a douche.
  1. The only time Sonic is a douche is in the hands of bad writers, the SatAM version, and Sonic The Comic (UK version).
  2. They tried and failed with that whole, "Sonic vs Harley Quinn" shit. Both fandoms told the ultra-right "fans" and "critics/commentators" to fuck off and leave everyone be. Those assholes sure as hell didn't even bother with Sonic 2.

It's also hilarious that the right get absolutely froth at the mouth angry when even vaguely leftist politics (note by this I mean things as innocuous as "woman is competent" or "gay person exists") but fundamentally miss how much classic sci-fi was like super overtly left leaning. Star Trek, notable authors like Philip K. Dick and JG Ballard, most popular sci-fi from decades past would be considered woke propaganda now.

That's the thing: they themselves are either that stupid or ignorant, or are banking on their echo chamber fan base to also be just as stupid, ignorant, or completely unaware. Usually even more so.

And that's all it pretty much is. Whether Sonic, Alita, Ghost of Tsushima, Minions, or The Super Mario Bros. Movie are good is another discussion, but these reactionaries only seem to enjoy them as supposedly counter to supposed wokeness. Once the hype of the release has died down so does their actual interest in these properties. I doubt Minions: The Rise of Gru has remained a beloved movie among reactionaries circles, but they sure did love pitting it against Lightyear and Strange Worlds.

Also, a Super Mario Bros. movie by Illumination with the most typical CGI look isn't the establishment?! Sorry, I didn't watch the video, I don't want my front page flooded by these dweeby c*nts.

Or there's a quiet agreement to ignore inconvenient facts.
It's only inconvenient to the willfully oblivious or ignorant. Especially those who can't bother to do a quick 2-minute search on Google.

We have always been at war with Sonic the Hedgehog
Yeah, if you grew up during the console wars. Though you have those that still act as if the console Wars never ended. The "war" died with me the moment SEGA stopped making consoles. Not that I was all that into it to begin with. I enjoyed both Mario and Sonic, I am definitely a bigger Sonic fan.

A bunch of reactionary were trolled by Zoomers who sarcastically wore suits to watch Minions. The reactionaries did not understand that it was sarcasm
