And maybe then teach your children the difference between jokes and actual hatred by showing them examples of both, instead of bubble-wrapping them from the world.

[@SeppelSquirrel]

@@metaltom2003 If you really want to call mocking a nationality for its physical characteristics a form of "comedy," then it's one of the least clever and childish forms of humor imaginable. I'm not saying it's not okay for characters to be bad. The framing of the story can easily be reworked to not glorify aspects such as cultural mockery or sexual assault.

[@metaltom2003]

@@SeppelSquirrel There's absolutely nothing wrong with caricatures (yes, even those of my own ancestors) and we should all be able to poke a little fun at each other without getting offended. And "sexual assault"? Not even close. There was a running gag throughout that it wasn't really a human girl Mario was rescuing, and we all knew by that point it was an enemy, just not which one or what would happen. So when Mario took a peek up the dress, what happened? He got blasted with a face full of ink from the octopus. That's the payoff that you missed because you can't stop virtue signaling. When did society become so extremely weak-minded and fragile that we can't even have a laugh at dumb jokes?

The capital os Sarasaland is the Chai Kingdom, based on China. Daisy is the princess of ALL Sarasaland, so she should have been based on a more chinese lookalike.

[@coreyander286]

I'm not aware of Chai Kingdom being the capital of Sarasaland. I would think Daisy being princess of all four kingdoms kind of means she can't look too much like belonging to any one of them. Anyway, "sarasa" supposedly comes from a Japanese-Portuguese pronunciation of "calico", meaning a flower pattern textile from India in colonial times. So you could say her simply having those simple flower motifs on her dress represents a vague orientalism. Of course you could look at Daisy's Thai costume in Mario Kart Tour and pretend that's something she wears in Sarasaland. What I'm disappointed in is that in the SML manual her crown was red, but later it became a boring gold crown.

Xandrecos animations are great because: - None of the character's line art is rigid. It's more or less rubber hose animation. - There's so much charm and charisma to the way characters move and emote. - I've never seen a more enjoyable take on Mario. He has the cutesy/upbeat quality of Nintendo's Mario, but also the inconsiderate curiosity and chaotic energy that reflects player-actions. This Mario would (and has) dropped the baby penguin off of the cliff just because he could. - There's value to not rapid firing jokes. The animator makes the animation itself visually interesting in art, theme, and pace, occupying attention with intrigue, which allow his gags to come in left field, naturally. - The gags are delightfully inconsistant. In pacing and in crassness. And none of the crass gags jump the shock shark. - This man managed to convey an _ironically extreme racism gag_ without dialog. The blowing up of the innocent seahorse was my favorite bit. As was the abrupt and unnecessarily loud/rapid audio used for Mario's scamper when he walked away from the water.
