In gaming news, Amoonguss, the mushroom Pokémon, has unexpectedly become a symbol of trans rights after a prominent player used transphobic language. The emergence of trans-supportive Amoonguss memes has a frustrating yet intriguing backstory story. A competitive Pokémon player Neil Patel, 21, made transphobic remarks on Discord. He said, changing gender is a “mental Illness” After these remarks were brought to the notice by another player, Patel left YouTube and Pokémon saying he served “no place in this community.” This happened right after Patel’s match against former world champion Wolfe Glick at the Orlando Regional Championships. In this match, Glick's Amoonguss emerged victorious and a tsunami of Amoonguss memes began in support of trans rights. #Queer Up Gaming
