I saw mention of "politics talk" and I thought word of the recent ATLUS controversy reached this thread. I'm worried about it, because while it's unprecedented in Smash, I fear it could possibly lead to Joker gettin' the axe.
Then Corrin would've also gotten the axe due to numerous articles of controversy such as Fates portrayal of bisexuals and the Soleil debacle.
Joker is safe and sound, buddy.

Sorry just had to get that out of my system. I saw a rabbit on the way home and I’m a little more calm now.

Fair, but to play devil's advocate, the fact that Corrin is Nintendo property probably gave 'em a pretty wide cushion for this sort of thing. Joker's completely ATLUS's thing, so I could see Nintendo givin' Joker the axe to avoid bein' associated with the controversy.

I'm just a worrywart, I guess.

The controversy is going to die out. The controversy personally affects me, so I wish it wouldn't. But it is going to die out and likely be nothing more than a footnote.
By cutting Joker from the game, they become even MORE associated with the controversy. It would result in literally nothing good for them, never mind that Persona and Catherine aren't even the same game.
You are indeed being a worrywart. They already got his model done and showed, dude, it's FAR too late now for him to be removed.

Fair point, fair point. I just can't help but consider the possibility. The controversy got me all kinds of upset too, but even though I know it'll die out soon, it still worries me. Also, they may not be the same game, but they're directed by the same person. Which is a big reason why I was worried.

i got my dream character nintendo don't take him away from me please

Ah, Christ, not to be irrelevant but I hope that chuckle**** steps down or gets fired. I'm tired of that scumbag.

Trust me man, you're getting your boy, probably in a manner of weeks, you're fine.

Wait what happened with Atlus?
Look at the Catherine trend on Twitter. Let's not discuss it here.

Apparently there's something going around about timelines?

Some people are saying things were taken out of context.

I dunno though.

If you're talkin' about what I said, yeah it's all over the place right now. It's not entirely clear what happened in that ending anymore, other than the trans character isn't transitioned at the point the ending takes place.

I just realized Minecraft has sold over 154 Million dollars which is second only to Tetris, the thing is that when people count Tetris they mean the entire franchise and not just one specific version which I think is unfair and despite Tetris being a rather simplistic puzzle game it shouldn't get Special treatment.

Point being if we only count the original versions of Tetris and not Spinoffs Minecraft likely has outsold even Tetris at this point, if that's not an incentive to add Steve to Smash I don't know what is, and that's coming from someone who vastly prefers Banjo over Steve.

Well, to give you the long and short of it:

Well. Now I know this. Wish I didn't. When Joker launches the first thing I'm going to do is jump off a cliff with him 500 times. Not the kind of thing I wish i read before I went to bed.

*cough* cop-out

Well... that's an ambiguous situation then, but I'm honestly leaning on the outrage being illfounded.

Joker's... not even part of the same game, or universe, or hell even franchise.

Right now, the evidence seems to be leaning that way too. People are saying the original
interpretation wasn't actually true to begin with, and it was just people jumpin' the gun. But there's no solid evidence one way or the other.

I just read a couple articles. The Persona series isn't clean either. Far from it. When something like this resonates with you very personally you just NEED to work out the aggression somehow. And unfortunately I don't have a dart board.

Just read this: https://waypoint.vice.com/en_us/art...-catherine-full-body?utm_campaign=sharebutton

Correct me if their interpretation of the games is wrong. But that one in particular caused the most outrage in me.

Smash isn't connected to that game
Neither is Joker
Neither is Persona 5

I don't see how that's going to solve anything or give some feeling of satisfaction.

Well honestly, it seems like it's a rather large waste of time when you could be beating online opponents instead, but whatever floats your boat I suppose.
