Game just got patched. This is tragic, but I suppose half of Europe will no longer be offended.

Screenshots are mine. Just tested this with an old replay I had saved.



BEFORE:

AFTER:

 

[Surface of Me]

What changed?

 

[Altered Juice]

lol Fuck this update

 

[phanphare]

wait, what?

why is that offensive?

 

[ggx2ac]

It happened again.

Bowser for reference in Super Mario RPG.

 

[RadioJoNES64]

Yeah that black shirt was a little much.

 

[Vic]

Booooo

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

I was wondering why they had her saying fuck you so happily lol

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Didn't they have to take this pose out of Super Mario RPG too? Some things never change.

 

[SalvaPot]

What does it mean?

 

[Leatherface]

Aww damn. I loved that!

 

[Magwik]

what

 

[Maxinas]

wait, what?

why is that offensive?

It means "up yours" in many countries, or more crudely speaking: "up your asshole".

I'll miss it...

 

[Hattori]

What does it mean?

Up Yours

 

[ggx2ac]

wait, what?

why is that offensive?

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

Cultural differences, one is meant as an insult.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

wait, what?

why is that offensive?

It's a sign people use for fisting I think?

 

[Kouriozan]

Nintendo probably got a lot of complaints about it x)

wait, what?

why is that offensive?

Same meaning as middle finger in France.

 

[Kangi]

A moment of silence.

 

[Dwayne]

It's a sign people use for fisting I think?

Yep.

 

[phanphare]

It means "up yours" in many countries, or more crudely speaking: "up your asshole".

I'll miss it...

oh ok

well that's a shame

 

[mavo]

Like really nobody ever said anything before the game came out, such a weird omission.

 

[randomhugs]

I live in Texas but, even I know what that means. I couldn't believe that made it into the final game.

 

[Neiteio]

It's a gesture that means "up yours" in many countries. Nintendo just intended it as the Inkling grabbing her bicep, but that's how it looked to some.

A patch note released by Nintendo said an Inkling animation was changed. I immediately suspected this was the one.

So I booted up an old replay, and lo and behold...

 

[night814]

It's a pretty normal pose really

 

[AirPowerFTW]

It's a sign people use for fisting I think?

Sign people huh?

 

[NightShift]

 

[wedca]

That gesture doesn't get a lot of use in the United States. It is really underrated, much classier than flipping the bird which is so overused.

 

[E_Darkness]

I guess I'm the other half of Europe that didn't know it was an offensive gesture...

 

[ArtHands]

It's a pretty normal pose really

Its not a normal pose in many countries where you dont reside in.

 

[Madao]

was it patched out in every version or only international versions?

also, people make noise to patch this but not the atrocious item rates? not enough people mad at blue shells, red shells and double lightning being spammed endlessdly and 1st place getting coins 90% of the time?

 

[Producer]

that was in the game? Lol

 

[Rezbit]

LOL I had no idea that was in the game, that's hilarious.

 

[ggx2ac]

I live in Texas but, even I know what that means. I couldn't believe that made it into the final game.

In Japan its meaning is a lot different.

Just like doing this gesture is different in countries:

 

[Garrett Hawke]

was it patched out in every version or only international versions?

Pretty sure switch games only have one version

 

[Currygan]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bras_d'honneur

 

[InterMusketeer]

That's a shame. I thought it was kinda fun. Well, at least it has been captured and can be preserved now.

Occasionally, the middle finger of the bent arm is also raised for added emphasis.

Heh, lol.

 

[Fj0823]

wait, what?

why is that offensive?

In my country (and several others) it means "My fist up your ass"

Let's just say I'm laughing my ass off with that image

 

[Neiteio]

was it patched out in every version or only international versions?

I'm playing in the U.S. It's no longer in my game.

I WANT IT BACK, NINTENDO.

 

[Yukinari]

Mega Man Battle&Chase had Gutsman do this animation in japan.

No surprise its patched out for the west as usual.

 

[Spinifex]

It's called a 'Bras d'honneur' -- and I thought it was a bit cheeky being in the game. I'll miss it though, I main Inkling Girl.

 

[SalvaPot]

Up Yours

I was just asking a question :'(

 

[Neiteio]

Nintendo changing it before the keyboard warriors take to Facebook and Twitter with their faux outrage...

But the capture button remembers, Nintendo. The capture button remembers.

 

[alf717]

This is what they should of made it:

 

[Thoraxes]

Spaceballs comin for that Nintendo money.

Edit: oh shit lol

 

[NinjamicWZ]

I feel like I've only ever seen that gesture once or twice from old Sicilian women.

It reminds me of this:

 

[TissueBox]

Hahaha damn that sucks, but 'tis still funny it was in there..

 

[PhantomThief]

In Japan its meaning is a lot different.

Just like doing this gesture is different in countries:

What other meaning does this gesture have? Just curious

 

[vareon]

Well, the more you know.

 

[KLoWn]

What nonsense.

 

[spyroflame0487]

that's actually kind of funny lmao. instead of any number of ultra smug squid poses from the game they went with that.
