Reggiegiygas will be coming to Smash as a new boss promoting Reggie's new game made in partnership with Game Freak and Shigesato Itoi.
Idk man, that scene with Lucas in the hot-spring would likely stir up a lot of controversy.
Nah man Lucas was just getting an underwater back rub.
Considering the incredibly effeminate nature of the Magypsies one could very well easily consider them a negative stereotype for LGBT people (especially as one line of text seemed to imply Lucas gets either molested or nearly drowned by one), and then there's Fassad who's supposed to look Arabian and is evil which I'm sure I don't need to explain why this is bad in a post 9/11 America, the incredibly blatant nazi allegory for Porky's army and the game's entire theme of being anti-capitalism may not have flown well as the game basically goes "This white dude ruined society"
I guess so, the Magypsies just seemed to be portrayed nicely imo, I mean they're considered good characters and the thing with Lucas just seemed like awakening his power instead of actually doing sick things to him; I do think they were probably nearly-drowning him, but their intention wasn't to kill and they let him up so idk, you could see it as kinda like getting baptized; admittedly the fade-out is suspicious, though, so I can see why people would see it being bad.
The other stuff seems true, tbh I tried to think optimistically about it but I can't think of any reasons as to why some people wouldn't take it offensively since connections are easy to make here even if they're not literal, although the only thing I can personally see as being truly offensive is the Native American-esque character ticking people off since he's exaggerated so I do think they should tweak him if they ever do release Mother 3 in the West.
what I find funny about some people possibly taking Porky as an insult to "white" people is the fact that you play as a "white" kid trying to save society...and their skin color shouldn't matter anyway.
