has recently taken place a new meeting of Nintendo investors, where the president of the company has discussed topics as diverse as the metaverse or the backward compatibility of the next Nintendo console, yet to be revealed. However, this meeting will be remembered by the interruption of a fan who advocates… for the rights of male characters in Splatoon.
You have not read it wrong. A Japanese fan decided spend thousands of dollars to become a Nintendo investor to participate in its shareholder meeting and, through a lengthy question, advocate for the rights of male inklings and octarians in front of the president of the company.
This has generated all kinds of reactions on social networks, which affirm that what the fan has done has been out of place. As he shares himself, I had sent numerous letters to Nintendo with no responseso he decided to appear at the headquarters to give his opinion directly.
The fan who advocates for the rights of male inkling
Here you have Japanese fan’s Twitter accountalong with a transcript of his lengthy question:
At Nintendo’s general meeting of shareholders, I complained about the current cold treatment of Splatoon boys (commanders, high-color city emotes, etc.)!
Halfway through, I was told, “There are other people I want to ask…”, so the second half took a lot longer than planned, but I managed to convey it!

The reaction of Furukawa Faced with this incident, how could it be otherwise, was to tell him that his question was too long, and that he was wasting the time of others. However, she kept up her good manners and told her that thank you for your valuable opinion and that they would take it into account.
It’s no secret that Splatoon’s female lead is more popular than the male lead. Without going any further, the representation of the franchise in Smash Bros. is chaired by the inkling girl. However, we believe that the reaction of this fan has been quite disproportionate. Who knows, maybe this would lead to a good Splatfest after the one that comes from ice cream…
What do you think? Do you also think that the inkling boy is underrated in Splatoon? Do not hesitate to leave it in the comments.
