  • I put off posting this for like 2 months lol

I'm almost certain they DO expect you to take it that way. The English localizers kept trying to make Marina seem less gay in Splatoon 2 so they let her fuck in 3 to atone

Yeah, they keep the veil of plausible deniability, but it could NOT be any thinner. Also:

  • I'm pretty sure you can be gay in Fire Emblem

- This DLC has a they/them octopus in it

  • There is way more flirty dialog than just the one I posted

- I mean look at these two

Fire Emblem is by Intelligent Systems ✨ but also, "my coffee maker has one job - to make coffee! I am not subject to coffee undertones!"

I think I get what you mean, but I wouldn't even say it counts as "undertones". It feels more like it's just the point

Marina's diaries where she keeps using heart emojis when talking about Pearl

Marina's wallpaper being this picture of Pearl wearing both of their jewelery

Marina seemingly getting jealous of Acht when she thinks they're hitting on Pearl (which is somehow queer no matter how you interpret it)

This actual shoujo manga Marina made with a love letter to Pearl shown

and there's still somehow way more than this in-game. Nintendo is barely holding back
