>The hype for the new Mario game Super Mario Odysseyis spreading like wildfire, and with it come a slew of new memes that take a somewhat dark spin on the game’s core mechanic— the capture feature.
>People have speculated about the morality of Mario imposing his will onto sentient beings, by forcing his consciousness into their minds and controlling their bodies for his own ends. I mean, when you say it like, that it sounds an awful lot like demonic possession.
>Not only are people questioning the potentially unethical practice of hijacking someone’s body and mind, but also the lasting effects that jumping from body to body might have on Mario’s psyche. For instance, when Mario overtakes non-hominin game entities like frogs or bullets, how does he handle suddenly becoming a metal tube of flying death?
Damn... what do you guys think?
I rather people think Mario is demonic than think Mario is sexist/racist
Is it morally ethical for you to control Mario's actions?
According to NoA, he's only ''capturing'' them, implying they are still conscious, but unable to perform actions on their own.
It's just a video game.

I WANT TO _____ KOOPA GIRL

Forget
Could it be? The "GAMES ARE MADE BY THE DEVIL" era is returning?
I imagine it's like Being John Malkovich
Mario enters the 'vessel' and moves it against the owners will while it watches, conscious, but unable to stop it

We've went so far into SJW Bullshit that now we're looping back into Christian Puritan Bullshit.

I have a strong mind-control fetish and I literally never thought about it that way.
Now that it's said, though, I wonder if there's some qtpie to possess somewhere in Super Mario Odyssey.
>>381306203
There's no way you won't possess Pauline at some point

my mom made me throw out all my pokemon cards when I was 8 years old because she thought they were evil
she's since become a moderate and nobody in the family is even remotely religious, but it took a while. RIP foil charizard

I think it's a slow news week and they don't have nothing to talk about.
>>381309217
the ironic part is I'm really into edgy stuff now pic related is on my team just because I read somewhere it was pokemon #666

>my mom made me throw out all my pokemon cards when I was 8 years old because she thought they were evil
This is why women shouldn't be allowed to vote, let alone hold office.
>>381309578
Number #666 is a fucking butterfly LMAO
Mandibuzz is based though
>>381309684
I think it was if you include every pokemon transformation and stuff
So, Mario is one hell of a guy?
>>381306324
You can't possess people who are already wearing hats. Pauline is always wearing her hat.

Go to bed Nintendo.

Oh right. My religion kinda would find "possession" kinda problematic. Good thing this is a video game and not real life. I think I'll be forgiven.
>>381304981
It never really left. You heathens had it muted and accidently sat on the remote, unmuting it again.
You can probably possess the some of the random women in the city and go to their homes and get fucked by their husbands.
>>381312803
Which religion?
>>381313127
Christianity most likely. Maybe a jew
