Omega Wave Feminists and Soy Boys (not to be confused with Mario's less dangerous enemy: Shy Guys) ruin everything they touch. They need to be swept out of any positions of influence and herded back into their fanfic-papered cages.

And for what it's worth, Peach had a cool balance anyway, going back to at least Mario RPG, if not (U.S.) Mario 2. She was dainty, regal, pretty, demure... all of these wonderfully feminine, princess qualities, but at the same time, in a pinch, if she had to chuck some turnips at Birdo or smash a goomba upside his head with a frying pan to defend her kingdom or her man, she would do her best. It wasn't her forte or first choice though--she wasn't some Mario Movie halberd-wielding warrior--and just as her heroine's journey was choosing the right hero, trusting and inspiring him to rise to the occasion, she allowed Mario to traverse his trap-laden hero's journey as well, proving to her (and himself) that her faith in a fat, mustachioed madman was warranted.

Not to mention, as much as love Toad (my favorite Mario character), keeping a kingdom full of those goofy, shrieking little toadstool people running requires some serious administrative aptitude, which the wokesters also never give her any credit for. In a way, it is fascinating that for all of their rabid shrieking about the Lovecraftian horror of "toxic masculinity" and "muh patriarchy," the wokesters only value male mythic structures, values, and displays of strength in women, desperately trying to (sometimes figuratively, sometimes literally) sew phalli onto female characters in some perverse, forced, fictional "transition."

Feminism defiled all the good female characters. Look what they did to beautiful Jill Valentine! Turned her into a goddamn lesbian goblin. Shame. Least we still have Peach.
