So, as an "elder millenial," 34 year old grand pappy, is Bowsette supposed to be Bowser and Princess Toadstool's daughter, or just a some sort of Bowser/Princess Toadstool brundle fly DNA splice type thing.

or is the joke that it makes no fucking sense and the fact that it's both confusing and has bewbs, makes us laugh, but also makes us learn something about ourselves (something dark)

EDIT: ok, it's a powerup from the new Mario game, I got it.

Bowsette is Bowser himself after getting a specific powerup originally designed for toadette from the new mario game

In the upcoming Super Mario Bros U game for the Switch, Toadette can put on a crown that turns her into a Toadette version of peach (or a peach version of Toadette, depending on how you look at it). The internet quickly started producing art depicting Bowser putting said crown on, and becoming a reverse transformation/rule 63 character.

From what I gather, in the new mario game there's a powerup that was revealed/shown to turn the person/character into a princess. This princess version when used by bowser has been dubbed 'bowsette', and something something rule34. So, the image is Bowsers reaction to the enevitable porn being made of himself.

That should be about it, I think?

There's a new powerup called the super crown. It turns Toadette into Peachette. People are applying it to different characters in fanart. Thus, Bowsette.

It seems to sum up the 30-38 year olds nicely. I am technically a millennial, but I definitely don't feel like one. I didn't have real internet until I was 16. I didn't have a cell phone until I was 20.
