It seems people's main concern with this version going away is what'll happen to the mods made specifically for it

It's interesting how classic Western PS1 era franchises didn't really seem to make much headway in Japan despite being drastically repackaged. I don't even think Crash was that huge there in the end. Spyro was basically a flop, and the marketing they gave Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus is fucking baffling

This was the era of "Western game = shit game" in Japan. Then again, plenty of Japanese games got heavily altered to sell here and plenty of Westerners had kneejerk negative reactions to anything anime so I guess it was at least symmetrical

It actually threw me off in RDR2 that boars are completely passive aside from one scripted encounter with a legendary giant boar in a mission late in the game. With all the shit I've heard about how dangerous they are I expected to get charged but they just run away no matter how many of their buddies you turn into bacon

They do have Paduk from Judgment and a male UIR soldier, at least

No one really talked about it since those games came out in 2009 and 2010 before the current right wing nerd outrage industrial complex had been established

Leonardo da Vinci was gay in the Ezio games

That just means the Jews and the Catholics are in cahoots

Looked it up and Meyer Lansky was apparently some Russian-born Jewish mobster. Yeah okay dude, you might as well claim the US has been under the thumb of

ever since Al Capone

Clearly it just means Roger S, Season 1

I think that was more to ward off accusations of being anti-Muslim in a War on Terror world given the Crusades setting

Also probably why they played it safe and made sure to downplay religion in the game

Disexual, bisexual but more Greek

They've been saying alphabet people for a long time

Ls, the Ds, the Gs

New sexuality discovered

Actually, speaking of hindutvas, I've been recommended a lot of Buddhism-related videos this past month and I was surprised by the large number of Indians commenting on them when I remember Buddhism having mostly died out there as a major religion ages ago. Then I remembered reading about modern hindu nationalists basically claiming ownership of Buddhism by saying it's just an offshoot of Hinduism.

And indeed, in the comments on this same video there were many Indian commenters criticising the video for downplaying Buddhism's Indian and Vedic roots and portraying the Buddha as too much of a social reformist. Also, comments mentioning Ambedkar and Navayana Buddhism got replies from Indians angry about dalit anti-hinduism

It's just kinda fascinating, like if Israelis started playing gatekeepers of Islam and Christianity

Not only does his hair look fake as hell, but somehow also his beard

A Youtube video about the history of the different schools of Buddhism. This guy just butted into some random comment thread

OccidentalAryan does not want their history of racist posts discovered

Western Christian chauvinism a helluva drug

It's incredible that they can glom onto every other religion on the planet except Islam which will always cause them to have an aneurysm

The black metal scene has used kvlt for ages, runes would make sense in that context

It's supposed to look like the Roman alphabet, so yes

I'm personally waiting for someone to say Mohammed was white

(I actually think Islam is the one thing white supremacists will never try to claim for themselves)
