#INKLING GIRL SERIES#

Like much of modern youth, we have moved beyond the need for the labels that older generations sought to burden us with. The agent you play as during the campaign goes by gender-neutral pronouns too, further cementing the idea that Splatoon never intends for its player characters to be viewed from a cisgendered perspective. It can be changed up whenever too, giving each squid a fluid identity that is never once set in stone. You are merely a squid, and that identity takes on whatever gender you want it to. While gendered hairstyles and clothing options do exist in this world, none of them are strictly labelled or describe you as a boy or a girl. Everyone else does too, and this acceptance all starts with the character creator itself. I could don cute skirts, awesome tops, and stylish hats to my heart’s content, and always had the freedom to switch things up to take on new skills but still be assured that I’d look amazing. It isn’t just that these have infiltrated Splatoon, but those who feel welcomed by them have come to call this game home because it represents something special, an inclusive exuberance that nothing else in Nintendo’s library has ever come close to matching.

A brief walk around the sprawling hub world greets us with all manner of drawings that have players declaring their love for men and women, crying out for trans rights, or just having fun with modern queer trends that are popular elsewhere. Inkling Girl is a plushie appearing in Plushievile. There is something LGBT afoot, and there always has been in the series, but Splatoon 3 takes it to a whole new level.

The Splatoon 2 Amiibo series includes a new version of the Inkling Girl, Inkling Boy, and Inkling. Perhaps it’s the liberating attitude it takes when standing against authority, or the willingness to enable modern youth and provide them with a space to express themselves without compromise, or the presence of characters who are coded in ways that can’t be taken in any other way except fruity.

I can’t quite put my finger on why though. The trio of amiibo from the game release sometime this holiday season.ĭon’t forget to secure your copy of the game! You can check out a list of retailers you can order from in our pre-order guide.Splatoon is one of the queerest games on the planet. We’ll have to wait for a higher res image (or, you know, the box/amiibo itself) before we can say for certain. We can make out a big overcoat and some tawny sandals, though any headgear she might be using (presumably a small accessory like an earring or something) is too difficult to make out. Looks to be a coat and some sandals, no visible headgear however /RKFCEclVkM The Amiibo box texture has a very low (but visible) quality image of the Inkling Girl's amiibo gear While details on which gear the Inkling Girl, Octoling Boy, and Small Fry amiibo contain has been hitherto mum, a glance at the Girl’s amiibo box shows us a low res image of her amiibo gear:

It won’t be long before the inkcredible Splatoon 3 is in our hands - and just a bit longer for the lineup of amiibo that accompany it.
