Paper Mario Gets Confused

Be nice to trans people, they usually are just kinda minding their own business. also, it's pretty much confirmed in every version Vivian is trans, and denying that is like yelling at a wall lol.

I wasn’t expecting the deadpan delivery from Luigi for “Oh yeah, the autism scores him bitches.”
that actually fucking got me

[theheroicpsycho]

“He means well he’s just autistic”
Is how my friends describe me all the time

[jaxsomon]

I love the running gag of Mascots being prohibited from knowing what anything sex related is.

Fun fact: Mario would canonically be supportive. This is supported by the fact that, in the Official Nintendo Character Manual (1993)Mario's bio reads as follows: "Mario is tolerant. He'll accept anyone or anything at face value. He treats anyone and anything with dignity and respect. He has seen too many things in his travels to be narrow-minded."
Edit: Lmao it looks like I got some transphobes and homophobes mad. Keep the replies coming, I like the attention.

i never thought id hear luigi say "autism scores some bitches" but here we are

[bluetintedice]

Paper Mario is the definition of the
“Trans girl: I’m trans. Society okay, Italian: I cooka the meatball.”

[PMSeymour]

Mario being Autistic makes so sense and is now canon, thems the rules

[galaxycap]

The is literally the perfect depiction of how jolly and welcoming Mario is, he’d be so confused and oblivious of being told stuff like this but he’d support you anyway

[HighHonorDutch]

I like the idea of Mario getting a lobotomy so he doesn’t understand any inappropriate topics lmao 😭

[themarkerchannel]

“He means well, he’s just a bit autistic”
I love how blunt that was 💀💀💀

[Hypntyzer_]

Mario doesn't judge, Mario just eats his pasta.

[dootdoodle]

my favorite part of this is how it takes significantly longer for luigi to explain to mario that vivian is a shadow rather than a ghost than it does for him to explain that she’s trans

[KaleBennett]

As an autistic person, Mario is the greatest role model anyone could ask for

[Chokey_Gaming]

“MISTER MIYAMOTO GAVE ME A LOBOTOMY TO MAKE SURE I DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT-A WORD MEAN”💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[lunch_trey]

I guess Miyamoto never bothered to give Luigi the lobotomy so that's why he can explain everything to Mario.

[drunkenskunkproductionsdsp]

This HAS to be one of his funniest videos to date.

"Mr Miyamoto gave me a lobotomy to make sure I never understand what that word ever means, mama mia!"

"Don't worry Vivian, we're all creatures. Even Mario sometimes pretend to be a cat and wat out of the kitty bowl!"

"Oh yeah, the autism scores him bitches."

[Shellshock]

I love how only way for Mario to understand something is for someone to explain it in Gibberish Italian.

[Brandon_Does_Art]

I relate to Mario in a lot of ways, however we differ in the fact that I get no bitches.

[johnxmanny]

"Hey‚ here comes that trainsgender guy"


"I like trains"

In all seriousness, Mario is shown to travel to all sorts of crazy places and get along with al sorts of people and creatures. In Thousand Year Door, he teams up with members of 7 distinct species, including a Goomba and Koopa (his most frequent opponents). In Odyssey, he visits more than a dozen countries and is constantly helping all sorts of people along the way. And even when only surrounded by enemies, like in Bowser's Fury, he'll show restraint and even sometimes help said enemies.

What I'm saying is, it is hard to imagine a scenario where Mario would be less friendly to a character on account of them being trans.
