I don't think it's overthinking, because I think it's plainly obvious that "ette" is a cheap way to denote "girl". I've known it for decades. I notice it.This is a lot of overthinking the situation... It's just short hand versus spelling out "bowser with a peach power up". The English language is FULL of technically incorrect, but consistent shorthand for things. The key to language is that the person speaking it, and the person listening in both understand what's being talked about... There is no one, after viewing these images, who is going to be confused by calling that character Bowsette.
MFW all of Japan Twitter is making art of this but hardly any of them are doing the superior tan/red hair/eyes/thick eyebrow/one fang version

I mean it's not really linked to the wrong girl since the power up and character that spawned it is Peachette/toadette with the crown power up. This specific iteration doesn't exist without the crown power and that is directly linked to Peachette.I don't think it's overthinking, because I think it's plainly obvious that "ette" is a cheap way to denote "girl".

And when I see "Bowsette" I see Bowser's name fused with the wrong girl's name, and/or I see a cheap way for people to have feminized Bowser. "Bowser with boobs", that's all this new character is to some people. That's what the name says about Bowsette. Princess Bowser is a much better name.
And then, I got a little long winded in my countering of an argument that was claiming that the wrong name is actually right.
I like to think of Bowsette like she has She-Hulk powers. In that she can have both giant woman and muscle woman forms, depending on her mood.
I wonder which japanese mangaka will make fanart of this next.
Still shock that Dagashi Kashi jumped in the bandwagon.
This is insane.
This thread is insane.
Very curious to see where this craze will go. It's a miracle the moderators didn't shut down this thread.thanks for not though.
The Mario Party 2 one was ok and was already posted in the previous pageKobayshi's Dragon Maid author COOL has already made 5 sets of artwork. None of them suited for this thread
The crown isn't a part of Toadette, it's an exclusive-to-her powerup, but the idea behind this thing is for it to not be an exclusive powerup. The crown is the key, not Toadette.I mean it's not really linked to the wrong girl since the power up and character that spawned it is Peachette/toadette with the crown power up.

In terms of getting a concept across it does it very well because this chararacter is not simply female bowser nor peach fused with bowser which has existed for a long time now but bowser with the crown power up which is the whole point of the comic.Neither are really better than the other because anyone that's watched the deluxe trailer it's based off of knows exactly what that name is referring to.
