A Bunch of People Got Tricked Into Thinking Mario & Luigi Are Gay.

Here's something that sure escalated quickly: neoGAF user sphinx noticed that at current, there are an absurd number of Spanish websites that report some variation of the idea that Mario and Luigi are gay. Upon further inspection, it seems like it's dozens of sites who believe this.

Aren't they brothers? Seriously messed up

[Heisenburger]

Lol that reminds me of a bit from Supernatural.

"Don't they know we're brothers?"

Lol good times.

[pixelsword]

What about that whole "U R Mr gay" subliminal message that was on the box?

[Nate-Dog]

YOU MEAN THEY'RE NOT!??

[Acquiescence]

this is it.

More great journalism from Kotaku. I'm not going to bother giving them a pageview, but I'd bet good money that incompetent, puerile troll Patricia Hernandez wrote this. It's exactly her style.

[matgrowcott]

I did it on your behalf.

You were right.

[Rockefellow]

That's... that's kind of sad, really.

Thanks for diving in and checking!

[Phil32]

Yeah, Kotaku is like the tabloid of gaming journalism, an already laughable concept.

[GreenRanger]

What part of Super Mario ---> BROTHERS <--- didn't they understand?

[weekev15]

Loving the article graphic.

[MasterCornholio]

Ay dios mio.

Oh my god.

Motorola RAZR i

[pop-voxuli]

Sorry but NOBODY thought that.

[LOL_WUT]

I always thought there was something odd about Mario... ;)

[ChickeyCantor]

That's just you longing for Italian sausage. Let's not deny it. It's called "projection".

[PopRocks359]

@LOL_WUT

That says more about you than about the character. Just sayin'.

[MNGamer-N]

Has there really been any gay characters in a video game? I don't know. Does He-Man count?

[FITgamer]

Commander Shepard if you want him to be lol.

[pixelsword]

Her?

[BuffMordecai]

Shitaku needs to die, I'm so tired of their pointless, sensationalist articles.

[Tevolofox]

they are brothers arent you and if they are than that makes it homosexual incest and thats not cool

[Master-H]

Katuko at it again with Bs that don't even matter. always trying to stir controversy to get some views.

[Blacklash93]

This is what happens when you show people Rule 34 and they just assume it's official material.

[SegaGamer]

I remember being in School when Sonic Heroes came out and a few people were saying Tails was a girl, they wouldn't accept people telling them he was a boy :P

I'm sure the only people that think Mario and Luigi are gay are people who are not interested in gaming.

[level 360]

So all this time with the saving of Princess Peach was all for nothing..

..it was actually Luigi who needs the saving.

Apparently the title "Super Mario Bros." is not clear.
