Emoji and \Latex: Bowser, Peach, Mario, and the Dynamics of Love

Update: I should have zoomed in more to show a higher-quality screenshot. Here is one, where you can see that the graphics are rather clear.

Headline: "Bowser to Take Over Nintendo’s U.S. Division"

After seeing this news, now I know for sure that we're living in a dystopia.

"The Ability To Play As Bowser Has Made Our Society More Evil"

Yes, yes it has!

(Anybody who has played as Toad while somebody else was playing Bowser in the N64 version version of Mario Kart most certainly knows this very well.)

And there are some choice quotes in this article. One example is the following: "Just consider for a moment that young people under 22 years old today have lived their entire lives with Bowser as a playable character. They have known nothing else."
