Before I even had a chance to watch the latest Nintendo Direct, Twitter lost it's fucking shit over a screenshot of Super Mario turning into an anthropomorphic elephant man from the up and coming "Super Mario Bros. Wonder" (which looks like they just combined Rayman Legends with Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze). We don't know much about this power up yet. Only that the internet doesn't like it, and it already has over 10 Rule34 results. Like, Jesus Christ people... how are you STILL surprised by this? You know like at least 50 furry artists watch these fucking Nintendo Directs with their tablet in hand, waiting with baited breath to be the first to draw porn of anything they can find, right? It happens 100% of every Nintendo Direct. Be it a new Pokemon, or a Splatoon character with a big fat ass. Yet people are still surprised by this. WHY!?

So yes, I totally understand why they made Mario an elephant. Because if they made him a tiger, or a wolf, or even a cool looking bird, we would have most likely seen an avalanche of confirmed Mario furry porn. Among the furry community, elephants are a pretty uncommon fursona choice. I've seen a couple of them, but they're practically non-existent. So yes, I feel as though Elephant Mario was a decision based on this in mind. I could be wrong, and they just wanted to try something radically different. But I'm still not sure why this powerup in particular is getting so much bitter hatred. It's JUST a powerup ya'll, Mario isn't canonically becoming an elephant man for the rest of his days. Ya'll should be directing that same hatred to the stupid Rabbid crossovers instead. Now that shit deserves actual criticism....

In lighter news, they made Peach a SHORTSTACK!: https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2023.....7358849139.jpg Just look at how fucking cute she is! I need a figure of this! Drop the elephant shit and get to work on pornifying that instead!
