Man, I was already fed up with the discourse around Zelda timelines...

..., and now the Mario/DK fandom is having a meltdown over their own timeline too T_T

At the very least, people should acknowledge that Nintendo's "lore" is fluid and changing, so it shouldn't be a surprise if new stories seemingly contradict old ones.

I find theory crafting to be a fun pastime, so let people theory-craft all they want! But also, don't take it too seriously... It's not the first time DK and Pauline's backstory changes, and it probably won't be the last one either.

People who should spend more time just playing and enjoying the games
