Overview
Nick Robinson "Krystal From Star Fox" Controversy refers to a tweet sent out by social media comedian and Polygon writer Nick Robinson saying that anyone who claims they had not masturbated to the character Krystal from Star Fox Adventures is lying. The tweet drew backlash from a feminist blog and created a dialogue on Twitter in March of 2017.
Background
On March 26th, 2017, Robinson tweeted[1] "no offense but anyone who acts like they didn't jack off to Krystal from Star Fox Adventures is lying to you." His tweet gained over 900 retweets and 3,000 likes.

The following day, Anita Sarkeesian of blog Feminist Frequency angrily responded[2] to Robinson's tweet, saying "Nobody in our office feels that way about Krystal. In fact, we find her character deeply disappointing. Here's why." She then linked to a video produced by her team on the "damsels in distress" trope of video gaming (photoshop collage of the whole exchange below).

Developments
Instantly the moment became a target of jokes on Twitter as people mostly agreed that Sarkeesian's response and the ensuing dialogue about sexual-attraction to video game characters was over-the-top.

On the 28th, popular Twitter user @leyawn[3] tweeted a mashup of the discourse with Expanding Brain and Kirby's Human Feet to satirize the stupidity of the conversation (shown below).
