ok, you have accurate points in what you are saying. So if that excuse is valid, tone deaf remove the dk one as evidence, the diddy one then. They made the villager skin dark to match the Kirby outfit?
Tone deaf/ignorant/racist it should have been caught and the interesting part will be how it's addressed. Will Sora/Nintendo cut it because it is racist, fire the one employee willing to take the fall. Promise to be more aware, or double down and back that all sprites are representing character not appearance and DK is their best foot forward.
I think the only interesting convos in this thread are guessing what Nintendo/Sora will do if anything. And weird to potentially have two racist patches for smash is wild.
So take each individual one than case by case. There should be some amount of accountability for somewhere in development to flag "problematic" spirits weren't caught by anyone to review and cut.
Is the Paz one fine? Did someone go yeeesh but nobody will care what we are referencing, even if it's a mature Topic to google to figure out the spirit reference.
