a softer world

Dear Nintendo

We need a new Mario game, where you rescue the princess in the first ten minutes, and for the rest of the game you try and push down that sick feeling in your stomach that she's "damaged goods."A concept detailed again and again in the profoundly sex negative instruction booklet, and when Luigi makes a crack about her and Bowser, you break his nose and immediatley regret it.

When Peach asks you, in the quiet of her mushroom castle bedroom, "do you still love me?" you pretend to be asleep. You press the "A" button rythmically, to control your breath. Keep it even.
