@JimmySpades “Nintendo is so greedy that they’re refusing to maximize profits!!!”
It’s always interesting to me how diehard Nintendo fanboys apparently never knew (or aren’t old enough to have the reference)
A) that previous Super Mario All Stars combinations were also only available for a limited time
B) that Nintendo is already stopping production on most switch physicals, which is why we never see DOOM or Bayonetta taking up shelf space, they’re just both announcing it and including digital in this one.
@Kobeandodom speaking of faulty, I love how people think they’re being really slick with ban evasion when mods can pull the IP address without even trying.
@Kobeandodom that’s very thoughtful and polite of you to appear at the very end of a 700 comment thread to randomly defend a Nazi. With your second comment ever.
Nothing suspicious or sock puppet-y there, not at all.
@AngelFox i try not to name call, even at my most frustrated I try and keep it to “that argument/statement is really wrong” and not “STUPID” because a lot of WRONG information is learned, they had teachers (of any variety, not just school) that were misinformed, uninformed, or acting in bad faith.
A lot of politics and religion is just default settings, so when you disagree with people I try to be mindful of saying “you are incorrect on this issue” without making it sound like “you have been wrong your whole life”.
The struggle continues, as THE saying goes (I’m absolutely not comparing myself to Ms. Angela Davis tho, I’m scum)
@AngelFox it’s all good, I genuinely don’t mind people disagreeing with me, having separate opinions, arguing with or insulting me. We all have our own unique life experiences.
But when somebody just kicks in the door waving that flag, I don’t have the patience. Everyone else here is ok in my book, even if they’re calling me a stupid SJW, I don’t care, heck, 10 years ago I would have been on the other side of the argument.
@AngelFox good question! Time for a little PSA for the comment section at large.
They have white supremacy/neo-nazi numerology in their username.
“14” stands for the 14 words, the creed of white supremacists.
“88” stands for Hail Hitler, H being the 8th letter of the alphabet.
Since there are (i’m estimating) just shy of around 10,000 possible two digit numbers that could be randomly chosen, the chances of innocuously landing on 14 & 88 are, well, around 1:9700.
@John_Koshiro dave barry has a book about when he visited japan for an extended stay and he said it was very frustrating on the anniversary of the bomb it was mainly treated as just something that happened bad luck oh shucks one day out of the blue without mentioning the war or allying with the Axis powers or anything.
@B3lla88_666 oh, so it’s a coincidence that you created the account at the same time you stumbled across this article to offer positive support to a guy who’s been tirelessly debunked by dozens of comments to leave a hysterically double sided comment.
@B3lla88_666 that’s super cute how you are agreeing with somebody who’s offended while saying people shouldn’t be offended and should be quiet if they agree or disagree
@AngelFox i think you should be aware that due to active scholarship history is “re-written” all the time, because it wasn’t necessarily accurate preciously
@Moistnado so you want them to restore the communism and USSR celebrations, so other people can have their first experience, even though it would wipe out yours, or you want your experience to triumph?
Real question I’m asking in good faith, I feel like this is an interesting thought experiment
@AngelFox first of all that statistic really needs some citations, second if all if that’s the case the stats are pretty good compared to the actual Fascism that destroyed MILLIONS of lives and hundreds of thousands of businesses
@Moistnado dude we’re trying to debate the importance of religious acceptance across ideologies and communities in here and you’re hung up on somebody using a swear and canceling them for their speech?
@teko hey thanks! I appreciate it, he’s dead now, but the flag never personally bothered me. I don’t mind it being taken out of the game though, as I respect the wishes of others who may be offended.
@cdmac a kid with socialist healthcare, nonetheless.
Also, he’s yet to extend his sympathetic condolences to my real grandfather that was stabbed by a soldier flying the Japanese flag, so I don’t think he’s arguing from good faith verses some bizarre clarion call to defend white capitalism from the specter of equality
@teko since I live in the USA, a proud and free nation where people NEVER starve or freeze to death every day, and isn’t entering Year 2 of shortage and quarantine, I literally can’t imagine what it was like
Most of us didn’t care about the rising sun flag, but other people were offended and we said “oh, of course, sorry”
You’re mad about the “oh of course, sorry” part which means YOU care, not us snowflakes who are honoring the social contract and treating others the way we want to be treated

@Kobeandodom speaking of faulty, I love how people think they’re being really slick with ban evasion when mods can pull the IP address without even trying.
Like, at least use a VPN.
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@Kobeandodom you don’t have to blow a hole in anything, my guy, especially with such spurious and timely logic.

Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@AngelFox look at us agreeing!!!
Updating images to help people? good
Bending the knee to chinese totalitarian dictatorship? BAD
But I do think Chinese citizens deserve to play street fighter also, so it’s more of a “you suck” to Xi than to Capcom

So, probability is on my side to call them a nazi
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@AngelFox yo! What up? Where did what come from?
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@John_Koshiro dave barry has a book about when he visited japan for an extended stay and he said it was very frustrating on the anniversary of the bomb it was mainly treated as just something that happened bad luck oh shucks one day out of the blue without mentioning the war or allying with the Axis powers or anything.
I wasn’t there, so I can only repeat what I read.
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@Isz88_14 you could at least pretend to not be a nazi, you know.
You ban yourself with your foolishness.
Whatever, bro.

Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@cdmac wanted to make sure you got to back in the glory of the 88fash up there who used the amazing phrase “reactionary leftist liberal”
Reactionary. Leftist. Liberal.

@TryToBeHopeful antifa got brought up ex nihilo, the last refuge of the gamer
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@TryToBeHopeful nice Fukuyama reference.
Also, the Soviet Whataboutism was actually pretty good for America.
America would be like don’t trust these guys, they’re commies
USSR would say no no don’t trust these guys, they don’t even let black children use the bathroom
And USA was like uhhhhh we’ll fix that I reckon.
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@Moistnado bro/sis/non-binary sibling, defend your wife if she chooses to use a potty word.
To have and to hold, etc
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@TryToBeHopeful the real fascism is when people want female characters to be well rounded instead of well, round.
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@AngelFox you ever get so mad you broke something you owned or punched a hole in the wall and threw your controller?
A neighborhood is people, and people don’t always respond logically to trauma or pain.
I know I don’t.
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@AngelFox i think you should be aware that due to active scholarship history is “re-written” all the time, because it wasn’t necessarily accurate preciously
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@AngelFox grow some plants in your yard that induce euphoria, see if you keep those freedoms over your workmanship and property
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@AngelFox you know what isn’t fascism?
Socialism, aka “The good thing”
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@Moistnado so you want them to restore the communism and USSR celebrations, so other people can have their first experience, even though it would wipe out yours, or you want your experience to triumph?

Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@Moistnado the street fighter you played on console as a kid had communism references removed that had been in the original cabinet.
This isn’t a NEW thing, your memories are tainted already
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@TryToBeHopeful this is the Internet, you are supposed to say MAI WAIIIFE
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@Moistnado can you elaborate on that point and your specific grievances, please? I’m interested and would like to hear your opinion.
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@Moistnado I’m just surprised you want to cancel someone else for their speech offending you. Seems a little overly sensitive, but that’s just me. /s
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@Moistnado dude we’re trying to debate the importance of religious acceptance across ideologies and communities in here and you’re hung up on somebody using a swear and canceling them for their speech?
GOSH

@TryToBeHopeful transhumanist green party? if they’ve joined forces I’ll donate haha
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@TryToBeHopeful since everything is modern now, the hammer and sickle have been replaced with a robot and a solar panel
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@TryToBeHopeful always miss a friend. I’m a crazy Christian Socialist, my man @cdmac is the crazy Communist.
Join us, crazy left leaning democratic friendo
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@cdmac capitalism
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@15roundTKO oh god is this turns into a dirks out for harambe throwback I’m going to push the plunger and detonate the bridge and doom us all
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@teko hey thanks! I appreciate it, he’s dead now, but the flag never personally bothered me. I don’t mind it being taken out of the game though, as I respect the wishes of others who may be offended.
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@15roundTKO bananas are good tho, they have a potassium rich diet, probably rarely cramp.
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@teko well, you haven’t expressed any sympathy to my grandfather who was wounded under that flag, so I don’t think the hypocrisy is on my end
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@Madder128 what heroes are you talking about? Woody Guthrie? Jimi Hendrix?
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@RandomAfricanGamer yeah I realized I’d seen you comment on the blizzard article and self deleted.
Full public apology: i was mistaken and incorrect, and I apologize for being combative.
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@cdmac a kid with socialist healthcare, nonetheless.
Also, he’s yet to extend his sympathetic condolences to my real grandfather that was stabbed by a soldier flying the Japanese flag, so I don’t think he’s arguing from good faith verses some bizarre clarion call to defend white capitalism from the specter of equality
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@teko since I live in the USA, a proud and free nation where people NEVER starve or freeze to death every day, and isn’t entering Year 2 of shortage and quarantine, I literally can’t imagine what it was like
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@15roundTKO
Joke answer: Italians literally invented fascism, so who knows, they have to sit this round out
Real answer: idk, I’ve never heard any complaints about it! It’s a fair question, but one I’m not well versed in.
Joke post-script: it’s not racist if it’s against Italians, this is a well known feature of humor
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@cdmac if we can reach just one, we did good praxis
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
I think what a lot of you maniacs are missing is:
Most of us didn’t care about the rising sun flag, but other people were offended and we said “oh, of course, sorry”
You’re mad about the “oh of course, sorry” part which means YOU care, not us snowflakes who are honoring the social contract and treating others the way we want to be treated
