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.
would've been much faster to just say people are stupid

Yes but it's not a matter of stupidity, it's a matter of people jumping to conclusions based on their culture rather than a culture a product is made in. It's like people calling Kill la Kill or most magical girl shows "feminist", as though they may appear to be under a Western lense, to the Japanese they just show girls following their roles. After all the feminist movement in Japan faces very different obstacles than the one in the West.

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.
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
It's the whole reason why King Crimson is "It just works"

Read it. SBR might be awesome but Stone Ocean is really good (and INSANE), just ignore the ending.

And you can't skip Jojo's gay priest.

Park Yoon-Na

Is this the same Yoona Joe and swan talk about, or a different one?

Because I listened to the theme song of Grand Chase and it's a Korean song titled Hope. Dominant singer is Park Se-Ah or whatever her name is.

>people complaining about there being ONE bisexual person per FEIf path, two for the third
>yet also complain about het incest being possible

... are we gonna forget Japan has a completely different culture regarding what's okay or not? It's a huge step to have the main character of a game be bisexual without overtly fetishizing it... and nothing revolutionary for there to be incest.
Besides I BANK on Nintendo removing incest in the west. If you S-rank with a sibling you won't get a child or something.

I wouldn't say no child, but rather a work-a-round in the dialogue to make it seem like there was no incest. They've done it in the past to avoid blatant pairings, though they've done a sloppy job at it. (Ephraim x Eirika and Lucina x Owain are the primary examples since Genealogy of the Holy War is Japan only. Also, Micaiah x Sothe is questionable as well despite not being blood related.) I actually wonder more if they're going to keep the face rubbing mechanic or not for western release.


...I actually didn't pick up on Leo(n)'s son or the bisexuality until like 10 minutes ago, and even then I'm kinda meh about it. I've calmed down enough from the initial dialogue read to put two thoughts together.

Do you not have a way to steal food? Because that would have been useful.

Since Kojuro won't let me invade, I'm provoking Ashina to attack me :hehe:

^not in castle sieges. Field battles, yeah, I can stroll into their main camp if they're not careful

Yeah, true maybe you adopt the kids instead. Which would be odd given one of them has your ears..

Also Leon's son a cute. <3
