Bring Back The Gypsy Talent Title
Comments
Master Brit when
Some use their babies as a ploy to get more money by begging. They are horrible and violent and if you even look at one funny there might be a chance his whole family will come to beat you up.
Of course, there is probably a minority that tries to live their best and be good people...but I have yet to meet any.
That being said, I am happy the title is out of here, seeing the Rroms being romanticized in a game I love always made me cringe.
Unfortunately, this comment is the exact reason why some terminology becomes sensitive issues for some people in this day and age of sensitivity.
Yeah, not all the stories told about gypsies were bad.
If they had, then all the positive ones about them being valuable craftsmen or stunning dancers wouldn't have spread.
The fear of the reputation of few bad eggs should never ruin Devcat's vision for Mabinogi's fantasy life, as I said above:
Reminds me of that horrible show - My Big Fat Gypsy wedding. Were the people on it claim to be gypsy, dont pay taxes, spend 50 million on trashy ugly wedding dresses, pop 30 babies out at 14, admit on tv the government gives them money to go get their nails done and have names like pookie and mookie. Think it's 'gypsy' to dress with hardly any clothing on, marry their daughters of at 12.
There are people with the surname Jew.
If the government lets spoiled rich folk get away with it too, then technically there's nothing wrong with it. (Until the laws change.)
And you gotta remember that most reality shows are indeed scripted, or are at least intent on finding and showing the worst in people.
... and this is why Nexon isn't ever going to touch this no matter how long a pole you give them.
Let's get real though.
Most people who get riled up about racism in things (that don't intend it to be read or seen as such) usually aren't of said race or occupation.
What is ironic is that the word jew is censored in the game, but you can say *EXPUNGED*
German guy with funny mustache.
EDIT: Actually, he was Austrian. Oops!
With a name so infamous like that... Whatcha gonna do as a company, but block it?
Are actual names even censored?
Yes.
I remember Shylock being a name that was censored, only to be uncensored when it proved dumb to censor the name of a storyline character.
I believe that mistake was due to an overseas slur issue with the definition, one similar to the "gypsy" situation.
If we gonna forgive for Gypsy then i want titles that go with Jews, N*****, etc... Some people will consider this word as rude and you can't do anything about it.
I'm fairly certain that some official Jewish organization will take actual issue with that, and would likely send Nexon a colorfully worded letter.
It's unfortunate, but as much as Japan admired those style of military garbs, they have to turn it into fantasy as well. (For sanity's sake)
Just take Shinto shrines for example.
A harmless Sanskrit symbol was not only stolen, but flipped by you know who, and is now a part of outrage culture.
*Facepalm*
I can't even share the first article link due to Nexon censoring historical terms... ORZ.
