what does out mean in Japan?

 

[JershJopstin]

I'm pretty sure Nintendo of America didn't catch this either

I can see this, having never heard of it myself.

 

[DecoReturns]

I never noticed this because I never play as the Splatoon Kids

 

[OmegaX]

That's Ok in japanese too nowadays I'm pretty sure.

Money is more like this

That means "gay" where I'm from.

 

[Mattakuevan]

Nooo, that was awesome. Bring it back ;-;

 

[disappeared]

I fully expect them to at some point give Wario or Waluigi an 'inverted peace sign' to mirror Mario, without realising the connotations.

Peach ain't having it but Daisy looks pretty down lol

 

[L Thammy]

I refuse to buy another Mario Kart game until it features Waluigi grabbing and kneading his balls every time he passes an opponent. I know video game boycotts have never been effective but sometimes you just have to take a moral stance.

 

[DylanEno]

This filthy reign of censorship continues smh developers these days lack all integrity

Spoiler

/s That's pretty funny. The new animation is fine - Inkling Girl is perfect either way.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I always thought it meant "fuck you".

 

[Cipherr]

that was in the game? Lol

Thats what I said, I hadn't seen this yet because the fucking console is sold out everywhere and I cant get one. But this is hilarious, and I reckon had I got used to using it I would be sad to see it go.

Its always been taken to mean "F U" in the cities I grew up in. Hard to imagine they let that get added in the first place.

 

[Astral Dog]

Doesn't it look the same?😦

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Doesn't it look the same?😦

The left arm isn't holding the bicep now.

 

[Cartman86]

lol I was surprised when I saw that gesture. It fits for those characters, but it seemed like something Nintendo wouldn't do in Mario game at least.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

They'd have kept closer to the spirit of the game by leaving it in tbf

 

[Spukc]

Finally i can play this game again.
I hope online is safe for kids again.

 

[OmegaFax]

 

[Kibbles]

Both photos are the same, I'm confused


Edit: ahh her left arm lol took me too long

 

[Yabberwocky]

Oh my god, that's hilarious, I didn't realize it had been in MK8D in the first place.

I can see why Nintendo would patch it out, but man, it'll always live on in my heart.

 

[Stormhammer]

make seven up yours

 

[Pancake Mix]

Very reminiscent of the UK Mario Party 8 recall in a time before Nintendo games got online patches.

oh

 

[Sylverstone14]

That's Ok in japanese too nowadays I'm pretty sure.

I don't know why, but I just love that gesture so much.

 

[Spinosaurus]

What nonsense.

This is literally the equivalent of seeing a character happily doing the middle finger to a lot of countries lol. You don't want kids seeing that.

 

[Astral Dog]

The left arm isn't holding the bicep now.

Oh

 

[Shaanyboi]

Shoulda gone with this

 

[Giever]

I fully expect them to at some point give Wario or Waluigi an 'inverted peace sign' to mirror Mario, without realising the connotations.

He's using his left hand though!

 

[Seik]

Hahaha oh wow!

OG gesture is on the cart though! IT IS PRESERVED AND YOU CAN'T DO JACK ABOUT IT!

 

[Bishop89]

Nintendo probably got a lot of complaints about it x)

Same meaning as middle finger in France.

That's an appropriate gesture after winning though

Spoiler

people up and arms about a middle finger gesture :/

 

[L Thammy]

He was doing a counting game, your childhood is safe.

 

[tkscz]

wait, what?

why is that offensive?

In most of Europe it's up yours, in some of America it's an equivalent to the middle finger.

 

[gwiz210]

This sucks.

 

[Suzushiiro]

Suddenly reminded of the unsung hero of Gurren Lagann, Bruce Ironstaunch:

 

[Apparition]

Pretty sure switch games only have one version

Most of them, including MK8D, are. However, games like Puyo Puyo Tetris (S) are different in Japan vs the West.

 

[Labrynian Rebel]

It's use in Japan is different in the US.

Cultural differences, one is meant as an insult.

American here, never even heard of such a gesture, just reminds me of this:

American here, never even heard of such a gesture, just reminds me of this:

Then I guess you don't live in an Italian community in the US.

 

[Wensih]

[RawNuts]

That's too bad; at least we'll always have Waluigi though.

 

[BY2K]

Very reminiscent of the UK Mario Party 8 recall in a time before Nintendo games got online patches.

I don't get it.

EDIT: Oh WOW

 

[Taco_Human]

I don't get it.

EDIT: Oh WOW

I don't understand still....

 

[Maintenance]

I don't understand still....

Spastic. It's an UK thing apparently.

 

[RawNuts]

I don't understand still....

"Spastic" is a pretty offensive term in the UK, it would be like insulting someone by calling them a "retard" or such.

 

[NewGame]

Chin flicks for Mario Kart pls.

 

[vatstep]

I'm impressed that you could even notice this (and almost immediately after the patch, to boot)

 

[RecRoulette]

lmao, surprised that made it in the game.

 

[Beerman462]

 

[Mephala]

Reminds me of Spartacus

 

[FataIChoice]

I don't understand still....

Spastic is a derogitory term for a disabled person, in particular it is referring to someone with cerebral palsy, in fact there are numerous charity organisations that were at one point called "The Spastic Society" or similar that had to change there names for the negative connotations it carried.

[Polioliolio]

Hard to tell what I'm looking at in the left. Almost looks like he's putting up his dukes.

Oh I see, it's the same strength pose as the squid girl.
