The gesture means "up yours" in a lot of countries

>>377268948
It's a shame to see things get censored but that's honestly something I'm surprised slipped by in a Nintendo game for as long as it did. I can also understand why it's removed seeing as who we're dealing with here. You also shouldn't be surprised since Nintendo is definitely notorious at this point for censorship. You can also factor in how impressionable children are and whether you like it or not, is who Nintendo thinks are playing their games. Don't need a bunch of kids running around doing that gesture despite how hilarious that would be.

>>377270990
Because everyone is offended by everything and any time someone doesn't like another person's opinion or gets their feelings hurt, the entire country has to stop and cater to their needs. And this applies to anyone. I love my country but god damn where'd its balls go?

>>377269190

the problem is that everybody wants a rebellion to happen but nobody wants to actually put in the effort, the sacrifice, and the risk to actually do it.
Seriously, though, if a rebellion really did happen, there's jack all the government could do about it. half the military would instantly side with the rebels just out of spite, and all the most competent redneck types are /k/ incarnate.

It doesn't meant "up your ass" in Japan, it's an offensive gesture in other countries.

In Japan it's a confident victory gesture.

And those are just the ones I cam think of off the top of my head. Game devs, and Nintendo especially, have always censored things that offend people.

Okay, the Islamic one I actually understood because it's literally shoving an Islamic symbol in there. And it's not like the devs had any deep meaning for it, it was just a weird coincidence like all those times Japan accidentally makes KKK references because they don't know what that is.

No, Eurofag.
THIS is a hand signal you should be offended by.
Fist pumping/ Flexing muscles is not something you should be offended by. That's a hand signal that's used all the time in a variety of ways, just because you decided that one single way of using it is offensive doesn't mean it shouldn't be used.

I know Amerifags do things differently like driving and measurements, but you're insane if you think they are the ones in the wrong here.

>>377275775
Blame Europe this time. That gesture means "Up yours" over there, same as how the OK hand symbol is the same as the middle finger and the peace V is the middle finger in Central and South America.

Fun fact, the "He's crazy" gesture (twirling a finger around beside your ear) means "You have a phone call" in France.

That's not a hand signal I'm offended by at all, it's a symbol of a racist, oppressive movement but not offensive to me. It doesn't scream "fuck you" or "up yours", it screams death and destruction. I don't think americans are in the wrong, but that hand gesture is really offensive.A hitler salute would be censored owing to racist and genocidal ideals, but this gesture goes more along the line of the middle finger, something that i defy you to tell me appears in most g rated games.

The V sign is supposed to be backwards. It's like flipping someone off but with the index finger included. So that pose mario is doing isn't the offensive gesture, only if it was his palm facing inward.

It's not like making dialogue changes on a story focused game or removing content. It's just a small change on a detail that's not even important to the game itself and almost nobody would've noticed otherwise, trivia material at most.

>>377281730

I agree with this, but that's just like culture works, there are things like giving the middle finger or the pose in case that people will collectively see as offensive because they've been taught all their life it means that, same with words.
The point with this case in particular is that it's such a meaningless censorship that's it's not worth getting angry about.

Ironically, I think censorship is just a huge trigger to people on /v/ now. Doesn't matter if it's actually something that makes a big deal or not or worth getting upset about, you gotta get assblasted about it because it's big bad evil CENSORSHIP1!!!1!

>>377274036
No it's not, this an ameristan thing. That gesture doesn't even exist here you stupid yank.

>>377282275
Again, it's more that the gesture has wildly different meanings in different places. Makoto from Kyoto is going to use it when he's excited or victorious, while fucking Arturo from Venice is going to use it as a "fuck you" when he loses.

>>377282435
I'm aware of that. Definitely not the "hill worth dying on" but interesting to see the supposed reactions people take from such a gesture.

>>377282567
I obviously do, retard, since it's why I'm bringing it up. Most people are selfish, and don't care about anything outside their box, so they piss and scream when something they don't understand shows up. Hence where we're at now.

>>377282568
Ironically, the only people "upset" by this are shitposters being ironic.

>>377279225
The problem was that now because the slot machines were gone you had to actually earn coins for prizes which was fucking bullshit. Playing minigames for hours on end to earn 1 or 2 TMs is actually dogshit. Only thing bad about HGSS was that fucking Voltorb Flip game.

In Eurabia, it means Up Yours

>>377282874
Come the fuck on, I don't know anyone who played RGB and actually got the coins through playing the slots instead of just coming back later and buying them with money. The slots are tedious RNG bullshit, you're a sucker if you waste your time on them.
That said, the games in GSC were a lot better and it's dumb that those were removed when they're not even casino games like slots are.

>>377283048
I wish they'd do an arcade with minigames and tickets to replace it. Not gambling, and kid friendly, but too much for game freak, I'm sure.

But imagine, pokemon pinball integrated into the main game and a couple of other arcade things.

>>377282965
I get that, which is why I'm not bothered by this mostly trivial change. I just find it interesting the type of reactions people get or are taking from it. At the end of the day, (for better or worse) Nintendo is just another company trying to keep it's family image, and a big name like Mario Kart has universal appeal

>>377283310

and what a dumb censorship. "up yours" is such a punkish kid thing to do, and is a totally fitting gesture for an inkling.

It's not really censorship at all though.
The gesture means an entirely different thing in Japan. It's not like they meant for it to be offensive and then censored it.
Rather they were aiming for one thing, completely missed the mark, and now corrected it.

I can only think of one Gesture that would be specifically offensive here.

American's aren't here to offtopic and Australian's aren't here to shitpost. What else are they gonna do?

We're at the top of the food chain. We're the apex of the apex. "Bantering" is something omega level subhumans partake in. Not alpha, red blooded American men.

Well, he's not a white guy, so he can do no wrong.

>>377288542
Bet some of you are still offended though :^)

Moors back then werent even that bad desu, the muslims back when were actually really high tech, educated, cared about math and shit, they just went full nosedive after the medieval ages passed. We were also a small as fuck country, so not lime we could fight back agaisnt well suplied abd rich armies of what was the best civilization alive at that point, gotta consider everything before you just throw insults my easily triggered shit eating friend. Though germans were cooler than that, arent psychopaths meant to be calm and colected, smart and methodical? You just seem to sperg out like a furry thats been ousted as a shit eater desu.

>Europe is a country now

Thanks m8, I've learned something new today.

>this many people who don't recognize the gesture that aggro pedestrians make in vice city

>>377281459
bowseer looks terrible. this game is going to flop.

>>377290354
I don't think people realize that to say, Italians, this gesture is just as offensive as being flipped off.

>>377290425
Good thing it was just an ad for the new 3DS coverplates.

>>377290237
First of all it took you half an hour to write that so you clearly are learning disabled so it seems like bullying to keep replying to you

Also I am easily triggered? You just insulted Germans out of nowhere. I wasn't the one who started talking shit.

I am sorry a German tourist fucked your Girlfriend. I know they are cancer. But to come to 4chan and just insult Germans out of nowhere like you did and then call me triggered when I respond in kind is so fucking pathetic.
You literally can't take anything. This is why you are actually defending the people conquering you.

Germans are so self-hating and suicidal you guys just assume that you can just keep insulting us over and over and nothing will ever happen.
You can keep your meme insults. We both know which of us is relevant and which of us will completely depend on the other.

>>377290481
no. he looks like that in odyssey.

what were they thinking anyway? yeah, a slummy NYC style city is what I want in my silly fantastical video game about a magical italian mushroom eating man who flies around while wearing a fursuit.
no matter what they do with this it won't end well.

>counting the time between posts
>talking bants to other countries now means you are buttblasted
>blah blah I fucked your girlfriend, blah blah fuck you moor, blah blah, we are suicidal take pity on us a poor economic superpower

God, I love shitalking germans and brazilians so much, its always so fucking easy to trigger them. Drink some coffee and relax you furry, eat some icecream and quit getting mad at moors ;^)

>>377290425
What game, retard?

>>377290764
I am really not mad. You need a soul to be mad.

Its just its always triggered when we respond and banter when it is coming from someone else.

You are far more mad than I am and I would love to think what makes you think I am angry.

>>377268948
a fist bump is offensive? Fuck, may as well take out the stares while they're about it.

>>377285327
he's cool. very much Link's bro.

>>377275774
>and they ARE offended by them
No we aren't you fucking American retard telling people how to think.

>>377291014
Cool that you only read OPs post and ignore the other ones pointing out that it means Up your ass in many other countries.

>>377291138
Pretty sure with that gesture (I think the Russians specifically find it offensive) you have to hold the elbow of the arm your putting into a fist and push that arm up. This inkling's sign isn't anything like that.

>>377290942
>you need a soul to be mad
Alright, thats actually funny

Why do people think germans are triggered instead of banting? Because you sound angry and you lack the casual shittalking element to it, the soul part is the sort of talk you use for banter but in previous replies you didnt sound like that at all, you just tried to insult, not be cheeky and a funny cunt, not underhanded insults, not calm but laughing like I am. Mate, its thursday and Im chillin at a cafe mornin shittalking germans, I dont hate germans at all, they are actually alright, but shittalking other countries is so old and ancient fun tbat anyone with humor can enjoy it.

Germans, in short, lack the "moist" humor other places have. Liven up and dont tale it seriously, hust shittalk while acting smug and calm and you become.much better at banter.

>>377291203
It's ok because people get pissed of.

>>377268948
that's not banter. you're just insulting someone. sort of rude and unsportsmanlike.

>>377291273
That's a different one.

>>377291343
>sort of rude and unsportsmanlike
Just like banter.

>>377291348
That's the one in question, isn't it?

I'm italian and I'm okay with the change. It's too much of a rude gesture here to be in fucking Mario Kart

Are all you /triggered/ babies forgetting that this is a kids game? Having a gesture that means the equivalent of 'up yours' or a middle finger is a bit offensive for a game designed for all ages

>Mario Kart 9 comes out
>DK now gives the finger when overtaking
>Peach now makes salt-shaker motions
>Toad removes his pants and slaps his ass whenever he hits someone

but dont worry guys its censorship if they remove it

People have the dumbest issues with games.

>muh butt pose
>muh arm pose
Why do companies even react to this?

>>377291278
Okay fair enough.
I also associate my accent with evil.
If I had posted the same comments and told you I was Italian you would've probably read them differently.
>you just tried to insult
And you didn't mean to insult at all? A shit eating furry isn't an insult to you?
Well I learned something about Portugal. That explains Brazil.

>I dont hate germans at all
I think that is the problem because I do.

>>377291450
What happens if a kid sees any of these gestures?

>>377291524
Kids are impressionable. Its the same reason why noone swears in mario kart

>>377277086
the side his closed fingers are on suggest otherwise.

STOP

>>377291567
Seeing or imitating a middle finger isn't going to scar them for life.
