What? No it isn’t. First off, this is JAPANESE THING not a female or male thing, they all apologize. Men also apologize to their fans and company whenever they get attacked or are the victim. Hell I was watching a news report yesterday and a guy apologized to the reporter because he was robbed. It’s a cultural thing.

S…

This isn’t misogyny or rape culture you fucking moron, this is a case of you reading a propaganda piece and falling for it. I live and work in Japan. Apologizing for everything is normal it’s a part of their language and culture FOR MEN AND WOMEN. I was watching the news last week and the reporter was interviewing a…

I think the major issue is you and this writer are applying Western culture and logic to Japanese culture. This isn’t “victim blaming” or the victim being forced to apologize or misogyny, this is actually Japanese culture and language.

I live in Japan, people say “I’m sorry” and bow and apologize all the time even when…

You are taking something that is a cultural and social norm and trying to politicize it and weaponize it to fit your agenda based on western customs and that is gross. She didn’t apologize because of a patriarchy or because she is being oppressed, she apologized because that is literally built into the culture and…

Stop projecting. Your logic makes no sense and you are treating complex human psychology as a black and white issue. Are you implying the ONLY reason to play this game is if you want to molest kids, because that is fucking stupid. Also no, not everyone who plays GTA and kills people is doing it out of hate, people can …

Oh look, the ol’ “VIDEO GAMES ARE THE SAME AS REAL LIFE” Argument. You can pretend to be moral and go on about “Oh it’s ok to censor this because it’s underage girls being nude, even in games that’s in bad taste” And I can then say to you, what about GTA? Last I checked killing 20 people with a machine gun or running…

It isn’t self censorship if they were forced to do it by retarded SJWs. Also the whole “only the government can censor” is stupid. You are confusing the first amendment with the actual broad definition of censorship, what are you, 5? If I, as a civilian, don’t like what you have to say and I followed you around…

We did read the thread your logic just makes no sense. “I saw this as a kid and was dumb so I acted out in dumb ways since I lacked common sense” Ok you and literally every other kid on the planet. That has nothing to do with Smash or G&W

rac·ism

Because I am not ultra left wing in favor of censorship then I am not progressive lol. What are you 5? If you yelled that at my mom’s funeral I’d punch you in the mouth, but I wouldn’t take away your right to say t or try to make saying it illegal. I just wouldn’t associate with you anymore. Biggotry is bad, but free…

Chief Wahoo isn’t in Smash, a 2 frame animation of G&W wearing a feather is. Those things are not equivalent. By the same token are you saying having a short Italian man who loves pizzas and fights “goombas” isn’t a racist stereotype?

If they do so knowing the history of Black face or that using Black face is wrong then yes they are being racist. But if someone doesn’t know black face is wrong and never learned about it and thinks it is totally innocent then no it isn’t racist. You cannot be racist if you don’t know what you’re doing is racist or…

Lots of people find lots of things offensive. If it is such a trivial change and it means nothing then why bother censoring it? My problem with this whole thing isn’t that I care about G&W having a feather cap, the bigger issue is the issue of “I am offended so this should be removed” That attitude is very toxic.

Slippe…

It actually does, have you never looked up the definition of racism? “Offending someone” by itself isn’t racist.

That’s false equivalence. The fact that you think 2 frames of a character with a feather is equal to the depiction of Blacks at a watermelon eating sambo is the problem. For example if Shulk had an attack where he put on Black face then yes that would be problematic. Or to be more topical if G&W had an attack where he…

It wasn’t racist though. To be racist requires actual malicious intent and offensive content, he just had a feather on his head. Listen, I’m Black, you know how many movies and shows I watch that have Black guys playing the role of gansters or drug dealers? Does that make every show with a Black gangster racist? Is…

As someone who is progressive, but also finds this whole thing stupid. Can I honestly ask what the big deal is that it had to be removed. It was 2 frames of animation, no one died, it’s not offensive, and it has no impact on the game. So why go through all this just to stir controversy and censor it?

Its 2 frames of animation. Imagine how problem free and ignorant about actual racism someone’s life has to be to think a completely unintentional 2 frame animation of a random character with a hat on is “racist”

It wasn’t racist, it’s 2 frames of him with a native american headdress. Stop calling everything racist please, that word has now lost all meaning. If I order an Italian sub at Subway and they make it wrong I’d bet you’d call them racist too lol. There’s a huge difference between inoffensive things like this and…

If it doesn’t change much why make a controversy over it and force them to remove it?
