Why Splatoon 3 is SO GAY

Happy Pride Month squiddos! And today we're covering the reason why Splatoon 3 is able to do the thing Call of Duty, Overwatch and other teams shooters aren't able to do: retain a sizeable LGBT+ audience. Lace up. It's gonna get wild.
Also, keep in mind, this video is made by a straight cis male dumbass who's still figuring this stuff out. Just know I intend to speak positively and express my support for the LGBT+ communities, and if I make any missteps I hope y'all can explain them so I may correct my wrongs.
Pigeons...that is all.

The self-expression capability in Splatoon is great. There's nearly endless possibilities from only the three gear slots alone, and when combined with everything else there's almost quite literally infinite possibilities. It's a quite robust system, and that's a big part of the charm of the game. I can be literally whoever I want as long as I have the gear pieces.

Fun Fact: In Splatoon 3, Captain 3 isn't decided on past games! (Same with octo expansion tho if you did play the original that may sway you a bit) While still in the crater if you go up to Cuttlefishes lil tent you can see a drawing of 3 he made and it allows you to change their look- So my captain had the more masc hair Just wanted to put this here :>

Note: You can customize Agent 3 regardless of whether or not you've played Octo Expansion and linked your Save Dada with Splatoon 3, but you can only do it in the crater and it's rather hidden. Also, Captain 3 isn't actually mute, with Marie constantly relaying things to Neo 3 (explicitly saying "oh Captain 3 said so-and-so") and such (which makes me wonder why they didn't just make Captain 3 talk if they were gonna consistently have them use Marie as their spokesperson)

@EnigmaticEllias Жыл бұрын

Captain 3 doesnt talk because they are the player of splatoon 1 and in that game they dont talk, plus there is a personality issue. Everyone who played will have played differentally and had a different personality so it isnt fair to make Captain 3 have only one of those infinite personalities from people who played splatoon 1.

@PastelSolar Жыл бұрын

I think agent 3 would be considered "selectively mute". Meaning that they feel comfortable talking to Marie because they know them, but couldn't talk with people they're not comfortable with. That would make it so Marie would then be the person to relay messages to neo agent 3, because captain 3 doesn't feel comfortable enough yet with the player.

@lazdahuman Жыл бұрын

I like to think that Captain either whispers, uses sign language, or simply uses physical expressions to tell Marie what they're thinking, and she just does her best to relay the information in a coherent, understandable way. As for what goes on in Site 1 when talking to them, either Marie just lies about them saying anything, or Captain has some weird telepathy sort of power, the latter of which is highly unlikely.

Also note it doesn't have traditional communication methods like other shooters do. Smaller in comparison, but you're far less likely to get called a slur for, say, having a feminine voice in a game that doesn't have easy access to synchronous spoken communication, which makes it friendlier. You can turn off voice in other shooters, but there is sort of a standing expectation that voice will be on, where there isn't such in Splatoon.

@halb-acht 4 ай бұрын

And I also absolutely have to attest to self expression, too. I'm transmasc, for instance. The originally "masculine" haircut with one tentacle in a holder with one tentacle coming off the side like a bang is one of the first gender affirming haircuts I got in real life - & the first hairstyle with which I was ever referred to as "he" by strangers - and the hairstyle I prefer today is still heavily inspired by it.

(Accidentally wrote a whole essay whoops.) I absolutely ADORE Splatoon. I’m gay, trans, and autistic- Splatoon happens to be my special interest! I love the idea of a world where you can just… be whatever. The recurring theme (especially in the third game) of free self expression is so beautiful to me. AND THE MUSIC. OH THE MUSIC. I just love this franchise so much. I love seeing that being fruity and nd is a lot of more common in this fan base than I thought lol. Sure, there’s a lot of weirdos (and people who just hate gay and autistic people who are pretty much the majority of the fandom what’s up with that) But it makes me happy that there’s so many people like me here too. Even the characters. I fell in LOVE with Callie and Marie at first sight. I projected onto them HEAVILY lol- As a kid, in my mind, Callie and Marie were always Asian-Latina, Callie had ADHD, and Marie was autistic. HEAVY self projection, sure, but for some strange reason these characters made 10 year old me feel so seen. And, yes, incredibly cliche, but as an envy I heavily project onto Shiver. Technically uncanon, at least in the American localization, but the idea of a cold, sassy, vigilante enby character makes me so happy. As soon as i heard Harmony refer to Ryan as “they,” I felt like it wasn’t real- was I dreaming? Surely they wouldn’t… but nah, it’s true! I then heavily attached to them even though they’re an incredibly minor character. And Acht! Acht makes me so happy! I love them. This franchise has and will always be a part of my soul. I’m always ecstatic to meet someone with a similar interest in Splatoon.

well when you think about it, do you really need to know? I mean I just use whatever I feel like. they're not gonna notice, it's an online game without voice chat. you could also learn to use they/them instead, which I do half the time anyways. it *kinda* has to do with the LGBTQ community because typically, men who wear long hair, or women with buzz cuts are considered queer, even if they're straight, or not even trans. but ultimately, it doesn't matter what their gender is, doesn't it?

They stopped hairstyles from being gender-locked and replaced gender (inkling boy/girl) with style to be more inclusive to non-binary and non-conforming folk :)

It makes me sad as a straight female that I feel so isolated playing this game and actually attacked because i was born different... I am valid too!

@Kattail_ 6 ай бұрын

how exactly are you isolated? yea, splatoon is very queer-coded, but I mean, there are still straight people, the entire point of pride is that everyone is valid, it's just that those who are oppressed are oftentimes the people who need to be the loudest, so loud we are

Lemme guess, you’re intimidated by gay rights because you think they’re gonna take straight rights away too?
