Usuarios ACUSAN a Bowser de Super Mario Bros de promover acoso

Bowser, the iconic villain in the Super Mario Bros franchise, has found himself amidst controversy. Users on social media are accusing Bowser, the character, of promoting harassment and abuse. The hashtag #BowserIsOverParty gained traction on Twitter, with users criticizing the character for his behavior in the game. The tweets began circulating after a clip resurfaced online, which showed a scene where Bowser attempts to kidnap Princess Peach. The scene has sparked outrage among gamers who have said that it promotes aggressive behavior towards women.

The criticism of Bowser’s character is not new. In 2017, a Tumblr user criticized how Bowser has been presented in the gaming industry, describing him as a “creepy abductor”. The user cited several examples where Bowser is shown as a kidnapper, including in Super Mario Bros, where he is shown to be obsessed with Princess Peach.

However, the criticism is not limited to Bowser. Many people have called out the gaming industry for its portrayal of female characters in general. Critics argue that female characters are often presented as helpless objects for male characters to save and rescue. This reinforces harmful stereotypes and perpetuates misogyny.

The controversy surrounding Bowser’s character highlights the importance of representation in the entertainment industry. As consumers, we have the power to hold creators accountable for their content, products and services. We should demand that characters and storylines depict women and marginalized communities in a positive light, and that they do not promote harmful stereotypes. In the end, the gaming industry has a responsibility to produce content that is inclusive and thoughtful.
