I wonder who at Nintendo just lost their job for triggering this chain reaction
so technically whichever employee came up with her and the crown is responsible
are you familiar with internet rule 34? Even if in this case it's an item that enables a gender swap, the internet will turn everything into porn anyway. So if you put responsibility on the game designer, then every company would have to fire all employees after their first game. I would guess that Nintendo is even happy with the publicity, I wouldn't have known about their announcements without this meme...
