Damnit we're talking past each other because none of the fire emblem games have numbers in them anyway, it's hard to keep them straight when most of them weren't even released in the US.
The official explanation on the Toad thing is that Miyamoto was having trouble with the idea of having the animators work with Peach's dress, which would have to be animated differently than the otherwise rather "solid and statuey" other characters. Toadette would have been a good choice, except her pigtails would also need their own animation. It's not a very good excuse, it's pretty lazy actually, but there it is.
As for the rest of it, a gender option for "Link" would be interesting I guess. Just remember what we're talking about here. I still think you're making a big deal about nothing. The emotion thingy, I don't think it needs to be a stereotype thing. I mean I thought it was funny. I really had no idea you had some issues with Twilight Princess. No, I'm not interested in hearing it actually.
I would rather this be about Mario Galaxy 2. Mario rescues Peach. There's no reason to pretend to be offended by it, it's a typical cartoon story.
You want something to be offended by? Try NEW stories that continue old stereotypes, or better yet, lazy's new thread about how all woman are she-monsters who just want to break his poor wittle heart. Yeah, he's still making those threads every few weeks, and honestly I'm getting tired of it.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
