@WCK619 If you could describe to me how Mario exhibits aggressive masculine pride (and therefore, exhibits machismo) I'd like to hear it. Being male and saving the world doesn't make you "manly."

@WCK619 I did disprove your point. Your point was "The men are always cool sexy muscular badasses" and that's wrong. Funny how the story changes once you're wrong.

@WCK619 Super muscular badasses, y'know, like Mario.
