Suggestive Inkling Girl Animation Censored in Mario Kart 8 Update

That gesture is fine in Japan, but in some places it basically means "fuck you." So I guess it makes sense that it's gotta be removed.

Yeah in Japanese that means Im the best is a shonen manga trope
In the west that means fuck you

Not surprised they changed it

Based Nintendo censorship. Glad they're thinking about all those children out there.

>>377263060
Eh.

>>377263060
I'd sooner play as Pink Gold Peach than a Splatoon anyway.

The same thing was censored outside of Japan for Super Mario RPG. The gesture means the same as flipping the bird in some parts of Europe.

That gesture's offensive?

>>377263060
Looks like that picture of a woman flexing her arm from WWII

It actually looks better now

>>377263060
They censored a gesture that is considered rude in some western countries. If it was an animation of her showing off her delicious loli butt, then I'd be mad. But I honestly don't really care about this.

Why the fuck does anyone care?

>>377263435
Only in some parts of Europe. In Japan it's a sign of showing strength or that you're a winner.

>>377263060
Non-Mario characters and locations have no place in Mario Kart. Digging up some ancient irrelevant shit would be preferable as long as it's interesting. If they want to make Nintendo All-Stars Racing stop beating around the bush and just fucking do it.

>>377263435
that image is basically used as a 'fuck you' towards men these days anyway, so the pose is strangely fitting.

>>377263539
What does it mean in burgerland

>>377263435
Up yours, or basically, i'm gonna shove my arm up your ass.

Yeah, it is offensive some country

>>377263526
No one does. It's just bait to start an argument about Nintendo censorship.

>>377263435
the hand's not on the arm i that picture. It has to be on it for it to be an 'up yours'.

I don't think this is really censoring as much as it is the fact that some gestures are considered impolite in other regions of the world

>>377263617
Only people that use it in America are gangsters from Europe.

>>377263617

It can mean, "Up Yours" at a glance. It's different in ways but similar in others.

Was it changed in the JP version too?

>>377263159
but isn't that the "woman can do it" or what ever symbol?

>Europe ruining things for everyone again
surprising

>>377263526
because people are looking for reasons to get mad at Nintendo, it's a non-issue really, they'd rather not have something that certain cultures take as 'fuck you' in their game, you can't exactly imagine Mario flipping the bird in an official Nintendo product, can you? this is like that, Japan just has different connotations behind this same gesture so it slipped through the cracks.

>>377263617
It means fuck you but no one ever uses it and if someone does 75% of people have no idea what it means.

>>377263617
It means nothing in burgerland.

>>377263787
So whats your gesture for fuck you then?
Drawing your gun?

>>377263927
It's a middle finger in some countries. Grabbing your arm while showing your fist, that is. It's a cultural thing.

>>377263927
People get offended by even more harmless shit these days. It's the age of getting offended by everything.

>>377263652
basically how the middle finger was originally by archers to show their enemies they still have their pulling finger.

>>377263895
meant for
>>377263842

>>377263927
Nobody got offended this is nintendo correcting it before it can be an issue.
In reality nothing would have happened but they still rather not have kids associate a rude gesture with their brand

>>377263758
Yeah removing it seems bizarre. Maybe they thought people would think she is giving the middle finger.

>>377264028
yeah I know about that, in the UK you also add your index and middle finger to an up yours since they were used to pull a bowstring

>>377264006
is flicking under your chin honestly considered offensive in some countries?

>>377263758
It can be understood as "fuck you", for example do that gesture in a place like mexico and they will insult you back.

>>377264079
There were people on various forums complaining about it. Oddly with support.

>>377263435
This is completely different, she's got her arm to the side and is rolling up her sleeve. You're basically confusing someone pointing upwards with their index finger and their middle finger as the same thing.

>>377263435
The fact that it means "Fuck You" pretty much supports this phrase, because it's basically saying "Fuck you, women are strong and capable too."

So yeah, it is offensive, and I wouldn't be surprised if that was the original intention of the person who created this.

Yes, in my country it means "fuck you".

>>377263060
>Suggestive
How is it suggestive?
Any way it's not so much censorship as it was missed intent.
It's meant to be a "Yay me!" gesture, not a "Fuck you!" gesture.

>>377264887
this makes me uncomfortable

>>377263159

Apparently she used it after hitting someone with an item and it is a "fuck you" gesture in some countries so I guess the thought it was too likely to be interpreted that way.

Idiots.

>>377263435
It is in New England, granted the person usually has their middle finger up along with it for extra class.

>>377264893
something that is internationally seen as a symbol of evil is not equivalent to a gesture that MIGHT offend some people in one or two literal who countries. and then only if they are retards that don't know gestures are a local thing.

That gesture killed my grandfather in WWII and raped my mother many years later.

>>377264276
It's exactly the same in that both instances have no intention of meaning "fuck you."

I was waiting for this to happen. Surprised they didn't give her a different animation in EU releases right off the bat.

Well shit.

I mean I understand why they did it, I think they did the same for Bowser in some game, may have been Mario RPG. I think it's a really cool pose for her to strike though, so I'm a bit sad.

Why on earth would you link to NeoGAF though?

>>377265242
Exactly.
While I like the original pose, it's no wonder they decided to change it. And it really isn't censorship.
The Inklings, while having attitude, aren't meant to look like delinquents telling others up yours. That was never part of their character.

Calling such a correction censorship is pretty ridiculous.

>>377265465
What kind of rapist only does fisting? That's pretty sickening

>>377265535
Why else?
Neogaf is one of the few places that's going to blow it out of proportion.

>censoring it because it hurts feelings in a few European countries
Literally who gives a fuck about Europe? In the game industry only Japan and US matter.

>>377265614
Fair point. What did the animation get replaced by, anyway?

>>377265847
She only raises one arm

>click because it said suggestive
>I only got a squid telling me to go fuck myself

>>377265809
I don't even think it hurts anyone's feelings. It just doesn't convey what Nintendo wanted.
It's mischaracterization above all.
