Holy shit, that's 10 years old now. Jesus.Drinkbox just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about forum culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is on youtube where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in a forum, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the forum public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Guacamelee 2, nor will they purchase any of Drinkbox games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Drinkbox has alienated an entire market with this move.
Drinkbox, publicly apologize and erase this area from the game or you can kiss your business goodbye.
You can't. Because...

Noted.they have my permission to use my username and quote this:

The zoom in on that part had me laughing.

The zoom in was the funniest bit in the game. The sheer OUTRAGE of it all
I assumed they were invented names with just the common complains about the memes of the first games. Anyway, I don't see any problem, but maybe some of the posters quoted there do, so I dunno about this.
People made fun of them publicly so they gave them a taste of their own medicine in a very creative way. Seems fine to me.
They even managed to get a "lazy devs" quote in there, which is a gaf staple. Lol
You made a thread about this kind of issue in a gaming forum filled with hardcore fans.
