  1. So maybe I've missed it, but has the "OMG Mituna is making fun of the mentally handicapped" ragefest started yet?

    1. @ceruleanspark I don't see why that should happen. Kankri basically said that not all mentally handicapped people act in that way. His dialogue with greaser Empora casts him in a sympathetic light so he isn't one note.

      1. @thelastgherkin These are people who decided that Hussie hated jews because the provisional title of the BGM for [S] Caliborn Enter was "Eternities Shylock". They're also near constantly up in arms because the human cast is depicted as being white, which is, for some reason, racist.

        1. @ceruleanspark But they're white as in uncoloured, not caucasian

          1. @thelastgherkin Social Justice Crusaders never let logic get in the way of a good circlejerk. Also, a lot of the new art associated with the kickstarter does depict them as being caucasian.

        2. @ceruleanspark He's mentioned on Tumblr that they're not even white; they're intended to be entirely raceless.

          1. @toksyuryel These people are just desperately searching for a way to feel outraged about something popular. Also, in social justice circles, that is considered that a cop-out because, in a humorously racist generalisation, none of the characters have a sufficiently non-white background/home life.

        3. @ceruleanspark That's like Spike Lee complaining that there were no black actors cast in the lead roles of 'Letters from Iwo Jima'. He chose instead to fill the roles of the white American and Native American soldiers who raised the flag with white and native american actors. RACIIIIST.
