Jynx was accused of portraying blackface, which was an idiotic and terribly racist activity in which white people, usually men, would paint their faces and appendages black and then act out scenarios where they depicted African Americans as being dimwitted and what have you. I mean, I never would have grouped the two together, but there you have it

Honestly as a kid, I never viewed Jynx in any racial manner. I mean she's a pokemon, and all pokemon came in all different shapes, colors, and sizes.
There was no need to change her, the fact that they did however was severely stupid.
And Mr.PoPo too was changed for the same reasons as Jynx.

The day stupid people stop causing uproars over such little issues is the day we can all live in peace.

I couldn't even load the stream to begin with.
Just black screen.

Ah well, at least Cosmo has been streaming OoT again.

HUGE AZ regional feat Axe, Taj, Aero, Mach, Jamie HR, Neon, Heyseuss! 70+ people are here from New Mexico, SoCal, and Mexico!
Getting towards the end of top 8 here, really stacked regional. We've currently got K9 v Aero, and that's a losers match. Tune in for potential upsets.

And salt

Almost. There's a group of people/bot trying to get him released, and the helixists are fighting them

That was close.

Did they actually whittle it down and catch it or just used a Master Ball? The latter seems more believable.

And they are on their way to releasing it.

Read about the drama with Destiny's twitch chat (SC2 streamer) attempting to raid them and release all the Pokemon (or at least bird jesus). We've been stuck at the pokecenter for hours, is that struggle still ongoing?!

Why use the master ball on anyone else? You think they're going to keep playing after the credits to get Mewtwo?

Anything as cancerous as TwitchPlaysPokemon won't let a thing like the game being over stop them.

It'll just start a horrible trend of hundreds of other "TwitchPlays." Watch as 70000 people suffer Earthbound. Enjoy as anarchy causes Ness to face backwards before every battle and spam the Pray command. Face the wrath of a thousand memes about the holy Ketchup Packet.
