i just played through date senbei!! hilariously fucked up game. though it did have me questioning a thing or two.
i'd always assumed homophobia and transphobia wasn't necessarily a problem in the namiverse, considering how unapologetically queer it is (and i don't recall actively seeing any homophobia or transphobia in any of the games), so to see manjuu outright call senbei the f slur really threw me off LMAO.
is this form of bigotry a thing actually present throughout the namiverse (perhaps within certain groups of people), or was it just a silly joke addition for date senbei? i don't take offense to it, i'm queer myself and i burst out laughing at it, but i was just curious.

usually i keep the queerphobia set in distant places/the past (like in starry flowers) but basically it depends on the culture--rabbits have been shown to have some hangups about gender, like danny being trans is a big deal for them and manjuu does NOT call them the right pronouns hahahaha. most of the witches though are normal about things, and since they have the most power in society, that becomes sort of the default. thanks for your comment (i also love twimber hehehe)
