During last night’s Nintendo Direct, a few new characters for Arms were revealed. In particular, the internet loves Twintelle, because, well, she’s kinda thicc.
All of the characters for Arms, Nintendo’s upcoming fighting game for the Switch, have been really charming. Ribbon Girl has a cute cheerleader vibe and Minmin looks like a bowl of ramen. The reaction to Twintelle, however, is out of control.
I had a feeling when I first saw her that people would lose their minds over this. She has long curly pigtails that she uses to fight, wears a particularly stylish and feminine outfit, and her hips sway exaggeratedly when she walks. YouTuber Etika sums up how people feel pretty well in this gif from his reaction video to the character reveal:

She’s bad, and she knows she’s bad. Meanwhile, the internet cannot stop drawing fanart of her. I promise you this is only the tip of the iceberg.

You may have noticed that one of Twintelle’s body parts got more attention than anything else. That’s not a coincidence.

It’s worth pointing out that Twintelle is also a dainty girl who sips tea from china as well as having thighs that could crush a watermelon. She’s literally bad and bougie. Where’s my Migos parody? Internet, I am disappointed in you.

No man hands? Chun Li is disappoint.
What is thicc? I thought you meant she was a bit wanting in the brains department, but it appears that I am.
I had to google that. Apparently a black girl with an hourglass figure.
It’s also a broad term for any gal with well rounded proportions, but mostly the legs and behind.
I thought the same when I heard somebody’s girlfriend was “thick as”
It’s a typo, what I imagine the writer of the article meant to put in was “thick” or “well built” or “fit” or any number of terms that common vernacular would have recognised…
(yes I’m being that guy)
No, the author meant Thicc. it’s totally a thing. Internet vernacular.
I am loving Pants-On Friday can we make this a regular thing please.
this really appeals to the privileged people hey
it doesnt float my boat
Only privileged people like a well-proportioned backside?
Everytime I heard “Twinelle” I think of that god awful and weird as “Wanna be the twin tails” anime that was pervy as and I shudder internally.
But also, its Twintelle
You misspelt “thick” in the first sentence.
They were trying to be trendy and popular amongst the twitch crowd. Instead of being literate and respected.
‘Sex sells’
