The new trend overtook the fad of dank Splatoon memes from several weeks ago, and we hope it continues until the end of time.。
As one redditor expressed: 。
This level of positivity is super rare in video games and game communities... or anywhere, really. I can't think of many communities where 。 being nice to each other 。could become a meme for a few days. This is just a really positive and loving community, and folks want to share that positivity. 。
There's no real reason other than that. It's just nice to be nice!

Honestly, nothing makes our hearts swell like watching this open embrace of squids and humans of all genders and orientations. Some complained that this "propoganda" (AKA the efforts towards making people feel welcome and safe) shouldn't be allowed in a children's game, to which we say: actually its the best place for it. 。 The typical age range of Splatoon players is the demographic that could benefit most from seeing these messages of acceptance early on in their lives. At that age, the things your peers say and do can often inform lifelong beliefs about what's socially acceptable.。This loud and proud support of LGBT squids is a step toward normalizing a marginalized community for the young inklings of 。
