In Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games,
one of Amy’s victory lines is "Girl power!"
and one of Sonic's is "Hedgehog power!"
This implies that Sonic's gender is
hedgehog
I'm still wondering why Fallout: New Vegas is supposed to be a trans thing ... I think some people just declare something they like a trans thing for shitpost reasons.
It's a game where the protagonist is almost entirely ambiguous allowing you to head canon nearly every aspect outside of being a courier doing a delivery.
Which begins with you being shot in the head and buried alive, before waking up to a doctor asking you how he did rebuilding you which is when you pick your gender, and customize your character.
The game is then full of queer content from characters and dialog, to having perks that let you choose to be straight/gay or taking both, bisexual with said perks being able to open further dialog with queer characters.
This isn't even touching on other elements of why roleplaying games, political games, among other types, or why genres like post apocalypse seem to extra resonate with parts of the queer community.
It's a deep topic that im sure theres countless essays, video and traditional digging into, not to mention plenty of discussions.
Im not sure why you seem to be combative to the idea that trans prople identify with the FNV game. You were given a good explanation as to reasons why that is, that took your comment at face value and treated it with respect and you make a snarky reply.

What did I miss though? How did Sonic become an NB meme?

there is a flaw in this analysis, as the implication could go in either direction. it may be the case that Amy's species is girl

I think FNV is a trans thing because many trans women played it and liked it when they grew up.

TIL being trans is a millenial thing

Yeah, unironically. It used to be a boomer and gen X thing, but then the world's governments let the AIDS crisis kill off most of our trans elders.
And it's in the process of becoming a zoomer thing too, although Rowling is trying her best to prevent that from happening in Britain.

You're doing the causation tge wrong way. A large portion of trans women liking it doesn't mean that a large portion of fnv players are trans.

Never said that.
