— Bad news. The wömen are acting up again.

— Oh, no. What have they done this time?

— The same thing they always do: take something from the past that you love and hold dear and shit all over it. Shit all over what was once strong, and proud, and good. Shit all over your ancestry. Instead of King Bowser calling Kammy Koopa an "airhead" like he did in the original release, the new version of the game makes him call her a "lunkhead", instead. It's sickening.

— "Kim. The wömen censored Paper Mario."

— He lifts his glasses to pinch the bridge of his nose. "I'm sure they did, Detective. Let's try to focus on the murder for now."

I can't come up with a reason lunkhead would be less offensive than airhead, so I'm guessing this is a result of the game being remade for switch in Japanese and then retranslated, rather than just pulling the translated text from the old version, presumably because there have been changes in general to the game/it would be a pain in the arse.

This has to be the pettiest G*mer outrage I've seen yet.

HE DIDN'T USE THE INSULT THAT I REMEMBER FROM MY YOUTH, BUT A SIMILAR AND ENTIRELY INTERCHANGEABLE ONE!

BILLIONS MUST DIE

Just imagine the gamer rage if they retranslate the stuff regarding Vivian's gender identity to be more faithful to the original Japanese script.

a true sign of the collapse of society, pay no attention to anything else.

also, all g*mers get the

the fuck is a lunk?

New gender binary just dropped

they're making a thousand year door remake????

that's like my all time favorite game why did i have to learn about this from gamer outrage lmao

lunkhead sounds funnier anyways idk

White people, amirite?

Next you'll be telling me that Barrett doesn't talk like Mr. T in the FF7 remake anymore

Sigh. Warhammer reference in the username too

No airhead? What-ever!

This is cultural genocide
