Just listened to @philsalv.bsky.social's interview with @saharkin.bsky.social and remembered being at the supermarket and hearing a little boy tell his mum he wanted to buy a Total Girl magazine because it had Nintendo characters on the cover. His mum said "No!" because, "that's for girls". Boo! :(
