    Being offended by something is a choice. Just because someone chooses to be offended by something, doesn't mean they're owed special treatment or an apology. This game has dodgy writing and translations, throughout, any tweaks should be welcomed. The one thing I am certain of, is that none of it comes from a place of bad intentions or a mean spirit.

    I know this is 2015, where everyone is offended by everything, all the time, but it's getting pretty boring.

    Being offended is the byproduct of having to fight for dignity. If you've never been offended, it's probably because you live squarely in the majority and have had privilege handed to you.

    Don't fall for the asinine, right-wing nonsense about how people who are offended are "whiny". 100 years ago, people were offended ALL THE TIME. And you know what they did about it? They fought DUELS. They killed or maimed fools who disrespected them because that's what life is like when you have to fight for dignity. Dueling was so common in the south that it was a common message in church sermons to, hey, stop killing each other. It was only outlawed in the US when one of the members of our congress killed another over an offense.

    THANK you.

    No follow-up, just THANK you.

    I'm curious how many people in this thread standing up for Square's right to keep their (badly translated) dialog exactly as-is to not appease anyone were screaming and rending garments about Ninja Theory's changes to Dante in DmC.

    And how many of those people claiming everyone is so oversensitive were foaming at the mouth when the game made the joke at their expense when the mop landed on his head and he chuckled, saying "Not in a MILLION years." Don't get me wrong, I expect none of them to ACTUALLY come forward and acknowledge it, I'm just curious.

    I'm curious how many people here arguing for position x are actually reptilian humanoids bent on destroying humanity to its core, though I expect none of them to ACTUALLY come forward and admit it.

    @theht: Way too fucking many. You should know better than to speak about the reptilian overlords on these insecure channels.

    I feel that everyone should just play Final Fantasy 7 or look up the sequence on youtube if they have deep feelings about this.

    Cloud is being encouraged by Aeris to wear female clothes to get into the brothel. He's uncomfortable with it, just like any tough guy living in the slums of Midgar would be. It's never making fun of crossdressers or dragqueens.

    @theht: ...he knows...he knows too much.

    Edit: Yeaaaah, I regreted that last part of the post pretty quickly, but the rest of the point I'm standing behind.
