Gamefreak does it again

It seems everyone wants a slice of the cake, liberals think it's insensitive, conservatives think it breeds laziness, fundamentalists think it's satanic, and militant atheists were mad at the inclusion of a deity. It's almost as if it's profitable to piggyback off of a wildly successful franchise.

at the time no one really understood Japanese culture THAT well. So the actual origins of Jynx was widely debated especially with little access to the internet. Hell I doubt it was even liberals, I doubt they were that much of an important force as they are today but misinformed people in a country where race is still a huge dividing factor and the lens we tend to look at things.

Saying it's not racist is kind of dumb. It looks exactly like a black caricature.

Jynx is a shitmon so it doesn't matter what the basis is

I've been a lifelong atheist, and know many of them in my life, none of which who ever had anything against pokeymahns.

Unless you cite your sources, I think you're just pulling that out of your ass.

Our cultures are different, japs have very little communication with blacks and in the 90s didnt give a shit about their existence enough to try and "offend" them. Just because it looks bad to you doesnt mean anyone gives a shit, Jynx is based off a very interesting jap myth and happens to be one of my favorite pokemon for that reason. Fucking cultural elitist piece of shit.

>>31342503
Don't really care about intentions man, it looks bad with our culture, so if you're trying to sell that shit here it won't fly. Same shit happens with weird taboos in other cultures, like China having major issues with skeletons or Germany not liking any form of gore.

>>31341521
It really should never have looked like that in the first place, whatever they were aiming for, but I do give them credit for changing the look.

Why don't you address the actual points in the OP instead of getting triggered by minimal details?

Yeah here is what she is based off of. There are 10 million damn incarnations and they knowingly went with the one that looked like a black person. Also it was the damn 90's, not the 1600's where there is some excuse of "what the hell is a black person?"

Does purple Jynx not do that?

Refusing to change Jynx would have been a PR nightmare and would have lost them money.

Zwart Piet was put out of work by elfs so he made a pact with Krampus.

>>31342946

Yes, so? The Swastika was also removed from that one Pokemon card because it means different shit in the East. Get the fuck over it dumbass.

Huh

Please kill yourself.

Gotta say, Scandinavia is not nearly as isolated as Japan, that's just racism, can we agree on that? Because Vikings and shit did enslave Blacks. And if I remember right, Black Pete was Santas Slave.

>>31343158
Nah, he was just a sidekick from Spain.

>>31343068

As I understand it, Black Pete was an equivalent or depiction of Santa originating from around 1600-AD, and was black skinned because of darkness often being associated with evil. His image changed to that of an African during the time when the Dutch owned African slaves.

I bet you thought Zygarde was stupid and pointless until you knew it was an amalgamation of several Norse deities. This is fucking why I hate fakemon.

Zwarte Piet is Dutch, not Scandinavian, you retard.

>because it means different shit in the East

the nazi version rotates a different way than the way monks use it. also it is pointed in the cardinal directions rather than on its flat ends. but burgerland can't think too well without teh googlez so HURR NAZIS.

I have seen such god-tier bait honestly. Take my You, you have earned it.

>>31343422
Memes are the reason our generation will never be taken seriously.

I'm guessing that were not going to talk about all the "fake news" that conservatives spread about Pokemon being satanic, which lead to them taking out a lot of religious referances later on?

>>31343422
But it isn't. That is just a meme, like Yvetal being based on a crow
