This is the kind of mario i want

Once I saw the gameplay of Mario in a sombrero and poncho, I knew there would be a salt page on KF about someone bitching about cultural appropriation.

SJW's have gotten quite predictable.

Way to appropriate American culture, Mario... We're not all cowboys you know
 
Same, I'm so glad Nintendo is even dedicating a whole world to Mexican/Latino culture. For a country that's 98% Japanese natives, focusing on Latino culture is rare. Even rarer for North America, despite way more Latinos living there.
I don't think Latino representation in North America is very limited... Mexico, Panama, Venezuela, Honduras, Costa Rica, Cuba, El Salvador, Nicaragua, etc., etc.

If you mean the US, there's a Taco Bell on every corner, what more could you ask for?
 
Nintendo's E3 presentation went as normal, except for the part where Mario was shown in the Mario Odyssey trailer wearing a sombrero and playing in a mariachi band. The SJWs got uncomfortable because they have never seen a proud Mexican in their lives unless they have gone outside for more than 10 minutes.

The hatred and confusion for playing another Mario game ever again begins.

The good thing, actual people who live in Mexico are excited about Mario visiting a fictional Mexico. They also have no shame pointing out they view caracatures of Mexicans the same exact way Mario is portrayed.

I always thought Mario was saying "Mexico" in Super Mario 64, so........
 
What do you mean by "gotten"? They were always predictable.

Their insanity knew no bounds. The idiotic ideals always pushed the envelope. Now, they have deemed everything to be mysognistic, racist, homophobic, ableist or ageist. Therefore, whenever they spout idiotic ideals, it is no longer surprising.
 
-Claims a video game character in a Sombrero is racist

-Uses an anime avatar with a stereotypical depiction of an Azn.

Not to mention that this isn't the first Mario game to use racial or cultural depictions and stereotypes anyway; I don't recall a lot off the top of my head, but I think the Mario RPG games such as Paper Mario had a lot of ethnic stereotypes.

Geez. Of all the things to bitch about they picked one of the most harmless video game franchises in existence. I guess nothing really is safe now.

Trump needs to get that wall finished so that he can keep all those portly, perpetually high Italian plumbers in sombreros out of his country.
I recall PETA once attacked Mario games claiming that stomping on turtles promoted animal cruelty, but PETA is pretty much univesally mocked even by most progressives, so the fact that they've veered into PETA levels of stupidity pretty much shows that social justice is swiftly dying, and in a decade or two will be looked back on the same as the "Satanic Panic" over Dungeons and Dragons of the 80s was.

Seems a good sign of a movement's demise is when rather than trying to infiltrate and take control of the mainstream while shutting out dissenters, they start openly attacking the mainstream; so now we have some whiny autistic undermedicated permavirgins versus a multibillion dollar gaming corporation which creates franchises loved by millions - who's really going to win here?

Its been a while since the last time I played Paper Mario but there is this guy that seems to show what you are saying.

There may be more but this one I remember right now.
Edit: While browsing the wiki I also found this guy.

And check out these Toads of Peace!

One interesting thing I found, there's more Japanese people living on Brazil than there are Japanese people living in the US.

Oh yes, there's a huge Asian community in South America due to massive immigration in the 19th century. In Peru they're pretty much a part of the culture with having their own Chinatown, and there's something called "chifa", which is chinese food made with peruvian found ingredients, for practical and economical purposes.

Anybody who complained about this either lost his balls or her eggs TBH.

GOOD. These people don't need to...breed to infect innocent children with this autism.

Personally, I just hope the Latino world goes beyond the usual cliches of sombreros, chubacabras, and sugar skulls.

Nah, that's too much work for writers.

And again, I prefer listening to the native japanese/mexicans/etc about this over sheltered suburban white first world brats (and well, those chicano/asian-american are pretty much in the same field as the white kids, tbh, considering their parents don't even often teach them their culture).

Of course, this is different because it's not Mexican appropriation, which the series has never done befor...

Asians aren't brown enough for them to care about.

Though what's ironic is that Mexicans are far more "white" than Asians are, given that most of them are descendants of the Spanish conquistadors, with some Aztec blood mixed in. But who cares about facts, it's all about how "brown" you look.
