The majority of terrorist attacks described in that article were by European terrorists organizations like the IRA in Northen Ireland and the ETA in the Basque Country (Northern Spain).

Again, that’s not how he comes across in Spanish. Although that might be because we don’t have quite that stereotype regarding black people in Spain. That doesn’t mean there are none, mind you. I guess the most common one would be “first-generation immigrant from Africa who can’t speak the language properly”. But…
One thing that I always thought was strange was when people said that Barret was a stereotype. I didn’t understand why. Sure, I could more or less see it in the looks, but his backstory and his devotion to his surrogate daughter always pushed him away from stereotype-land for me.
Then I remember that I played the game…
The lack of queer characters is just one of the many flaws P5 has when it comes its, and at least in my opinion, not even among the biggest ones (albeit I can totally understand it may be for other people, specially for the LGBT+ community).
The best example of my problem with the game’s story, and the part where I…
Yeah, I know what you mean, but I get the feeling that this is one of those “unpopular opinions” that grow over time as people reflect on things.
Although for me the problem wasn’t the plot per se, but rather the theming, which was so self-rightgeous, yet so shallow it was just obnoxious.

How are you supposed to shower if you remaing in the same place? Wouldn’t the water be contaminated as well?
Yeah, I gotta agree. P5's writing was overall a major dissapointment. It was clumsy and at times down right bad. Not in a “not as good as P3 and P4" bad. I mean “bad” bad.
First world class arguing right there...
Seriously, WTF?
“Best character: Cloud, who starts off as a stereotype (“look at me, I am a badass, look how badass I am”) but gradually evolves over the course of the story in large part because a whole lot of fucked-up things keep happening to him. He is traumatized both physically and mentally throughout the game, and it turns…
I should have said that I was one of the people who grew up with it in Europe. lol (Spain, to be precise. And yes, it’s considered a classic there too).
I just feel it’s kind of sad that this classic didn’t got its due in America like “Dragon Ball” and “Sailor Moon” did.
Well, this isn’t going to be controversial at all!
That’s no different at all to how celebrity endorsement works in the West, you know?
As I understand, “Saint Seiya” never caught up in the US, but it was HUGE in Europe and Latin America. It’s considered one of the all time classics. Maybe not at the level of “Dragon Ball”, but definitely at the level of, say, “Sailor Moon”.
[Insert “I can’t wait for this character to be censored in Western release” comment here.]
The translation of this game is infamously bad, not only in English, but in literally ALL the languages the game was translated into. I can vouch for the Spanish translation, which became memetic due to how many mistakes it had.
You could say Nintendo has managed... to switch the situation?
“I mean the Wii U was a lot of (not so good) things, but a lack of quality titles to play wasn’t one of them.”
I’m very aware of the Japanese issues the game is trying to criticize. And precisely because of that I was really disappointed by it, because the criticism is shallow as hell.
