I've been over-reacting since I started watching the livestreams XD

I don't actually mind the lines themselves, it's just the whole sibling marriage thing that's getting me.

edit: That's pretty much why I'm not okay with any of the siblings' lines right now.

So wait... King Crimson isn't Diavolo's stand now, he's actually Diavolo himself?

This whole body switching thing is confusing
Yeah everything gets weird.

In the JP franchise they've been using "Pachy" for a shorthand for Pachycephalosaurus since the Lost World, as have scientists for all pachycephalosaurs since before the country of Pakistan was even established. It has NOTHING to do with Pakistan.

Though there is a dinosaur named after Pakistan, Pakisaurus, because it was... well, found there by a Pakistani scientist and named such, but that's neither here nor there.

I'm all for ensuring people aren't offended or belittled but just because the names are homophones doesn't mean they're synonymous. If they were calling a Pakistani person ****, sure that's racist... but they weren't, they were calling a dinosaur a shorthand name.

At least the comedian in question seems to have just been joking especially since his friend won't stop laughing, but a lot of those twitter peeps seem serious which worries me.

And you have to take context as well. **** /is never/ ever used in the US. In part due to racist Americans having far more colorful terms for Pakistani people and other Middle Easterners. It's a shame the UK is so anti-immigrant that they have such a term to use in a racist manner, but this was an American movie. If they called dinosaurs some derogatory term used in the US for Middle Easterners... sure there would be cause for an uproar.

But **** just isn't a term people freakin' use in the US. The term used in the film is Pachy. There's nothing to be offended about. It's not like with how Redskin is an actual offensive word used as a football team name. It's just another word ENTIRELY.

Now if you'd like you can argue Universal should have given the dinosaurs a different nickname in the UK, dubbed it over or something. But at a certain point you're going to find slurs and curse words that sound similar to innocuous words not just in English but in any language.

>That word censored
... Wow. Okay this is obviously a British run forum.

Like this is the first time I've actually been aware the term was even used. Just... I... wow.

I feel like all of Part V would make a lot more sense if it gets animated

So many of the stands' abilities are based on movement the comic format makes it really hard to visualize
