Apparently, the connection between the porn you watch and the games you play is closer than we thought. 

YouPorn reported a massive traffic drop last weekend, following the release of the Nintendo Switch. This isn't entirely surprising; YouPorn usually sees drops during big cultural events, like holidays, Super Bowls, TV premieres, etc. 

Since March 3, there was a 15 percent drop from YouPorn users who self-identified as gamers. Drops continued into Saturday, which saw a 17 percent drop, but ticked up — but was still down — slightly on Sunday, which saw a 13 percent drop.

But all that pales in comparison to the fact that Nintendo and Nintendo-related searches skyrocketed. What, no one uses Deviant Art for the video game-related sex cartoons anymore? Here are the numbers:

• Searches for "Link" rose 164 percent.
• Searches for "Zelda" rose 102 percent.
• Searches for "Nintendo" rose 37 percent.
• Saearches for "Mario" rose 24 percent.
• Searches for Bowser rose 23 percent.
• Searches for Princess Peach rose 16 percent.

Wait, Bowser? Yup. Bowser. Apparently, no one wants to J.O. to Waluigi anymore.

The struggle is real, but has a happy ending for this nauseous, infectious man.

Bravo on the impeccable execution with this video megasteakman!

When even people who profess their love via video game characters find the "arrow to the knee" line hard to swallow, you know that joke has probably run its course.
