  1. The SF 30th Anniversary Collection was released around the same time SF V was still a thing, so newer generations already have a more recent alternative to witness White Birdie

     

    Now mind you, I didn't really care about Birdie's race swap either, and even less so when Capcom made him "fat" for SF V. Hell, they even incorporated his unhealthy eating habits into his movelist, so it's not like they decided to make Birdie fat for shits and giggles. It was in tone with his character arc in that game

    Just based on what I've been told the main issues seem to be that pronunciation in Spanish and the general feeling that it's label non-Spanish speakers came out with. However given the touchiness of the term, I just don't use it. I don't even like typing it. The reaction I've gotten is the white people calling black people the N word reaction. I know it's causing issues for progressive candidates but that would be going into politics, so I'm going to leave it at that.

    Oh, I won't deny that it sounds dumb and would prefer it not to exist, but yeah, it was a term invented by non-Hispanics that ironically some of the newer generations of Hispanic Americans have embraced so I would say it has become very divisive (hence why the term has not been cancelled entirely).

     

    But I will say that at least the term came from noble intentions (as dumb as the result was) so to hear that some people prefer to be called a slur than that is quite perplexing, considering the vast amount of slurs that exists and that all of them with malicious and denigrating intent

    Yes, I fucking do.

    That is a stupid nonsense that is being imposed on us and no one here likes it.

    You can laugh all you want, but the game sold poorly in latin america because of it.

    You add that stupid shit, I wouldn't be bothering with your game, period.

    Yeaaaahh, I'm gonna actually have to ask for actual proof that "the game sold less in Latin America solely due to gender inclusive language" or else I'm gonna call BS on that ignorant statement.

     

    And no, don't give me links to forums with a handful of nerds complaining about that shit

    Spanish speakers find neutral language offensive. I've seen too many people, co-workers and friends, get triggered at mere mention of "latinx". I've staight up been told by multiple Spanish speakers that they'd rather be called a slur.

    Must be your neck of the woods, because most of my acquaintances (and myself) just find it to be annoying/hilariously stupid. Not something they would go out on the streets  with pitchforks and torches for.

    The entertainment industry was something I've wanted to experiment with, but I don't want to aim to align with Hollywood anymore due to economic income adjustment. I no longer have the personality duration to pretend to have a perception opposed to my personality anymore, as I've done that the majority of my life to fit in and survive, as I'm too much of an non comformist to divert that any further. I've rejected those people last year, but I've blocked their contacts this time around because they've reached out again.

    Nothing seems to connect with career choices, but at the end, it's just a job to me honestly. Nothing special.

    I don't play super close attention to wrestling but this shirt isn't new. It's been out for months. I didn't even get why this was thing at first. I guess Rock said "Final Boss" recently and people think it's a rip off of that. This whole thing comes off as wrestling fans looking for shit to bitch about. "Final Boss" is generic.  I know Miro had "Final Boss" shirt in AEW years ago. Now if someone is using something specific like "The Excellence of Execution" then by all means give em' hell. There is always wild shit going in Pro Wrestling no need to invent shit to get mad about.

    True about the originality of the "Final Boss" term (although still not as overplayed as "Best in the World"), but the timing of the shirt's release does seem very sus, especially since it was shortly after The Rock started addressing himself as "The Final Boss". Which is kinda par for the course in AEW Land recently, as they seem to be pretty reactionary to a lot of things happening across the street. Take a look at CM Punk's most recent interview with Ariel Helwani (trashing AEW, Tony Khan, and the All In incident). Now TK has Edge cutting promos about how swell the environment is in AEW and now they're having the Young Bucks release video footage of the All In incident with Punk and Perry. LOL VEEEEY petty people

  7. They had already announced his sponsorship weeks ago and how his brand will be on the mat during the PLEs

     

    To be completely honest it's not a total eyesore and it's not as ostentatious as one might think. Would still prefer it not to be there but I aint running a business
