I know about it, and I think it is cute. However, I don’t care about whether it becomes canon or not (The Discord post said it would not be). That is why I voted Yes.

However, I must state a few points here to support my position:

- A fact about Inkling biology is that Inklings first gain the ability to shift between forms at the age of 14. All of us know that by now. However, this does not mean Meggy is exactly 14 years old. It only means she must be 14 or over.

- I saw somebody else on this Wiki saying this: “Luke has since back peddled hard on that ‘age confirmation’ statement. It was never meant to get out to the general public anyways. Because it turns out that it was just a desperate attempt by SMG4 to calm down a friend who was throwing a tantrum over the Mario x Meggy ship, someone leaked it soon afterward. People can ship whomever they want, but Luke also officially stated that none of the ships in the fandom will ever become canon.” (I tried to reach out to this person to find out where this came from, but I have not been able to get in touch with them yet. However, I am still trusting this statement because even the Wiki has not accepted the numbers given in that post as canon; they still are using the Akinator video, which came out several months before that post, as the canon age- Completely Unknown). This means that those given ages may only have been meant to shut one person up, and not to establish anything as canon.

- Meggy seems to live alone, according to The Splatfest Incident (Unless she does live with her parents, and they just weren’t home or also got kidnapped). This is kind of bolstered by Meggy mentioning she’s only eaten instant noodles her whole life (If she still lived with her parents, do you think they would allow that?) in New Year, New Mario.

- Meggy was seen taking a law class in Mario University, and also teaching at a preschool in Mario Preschool.

- Looking back at If Mario Was In... Splatoon 2, Desti (Remember her? You know, the character that we saw die two weeks ago? She’s helping me out here) said this- “Aww, sorry. Am I interrupting your little date?” Granted, Desti only just met Meggy for the first time, but she seemed sure enough that Meggy wasn’t underage to make that comment (Or just did not care).

Sorry if I sounded disrespectful.
