because that word is trademarked by the candy brand.
Nintendo has millions of proofs of prior usage across the globe
Siri, collect 1,000 common phrases that are also trademarked, then search the entire english dialogue of Paper Mario
you cant trade mark a common english word
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airheads_(candy)
right here
then they wouldnt have used it in the original. think a little, moron.
It's a pretty legendary candy though tbh. Fricking cherry ones just melt in your mouth. I'd just ask for 20 Airheads as my last meal if I was being executed.
i used to take two flavors and twist them together and chew on the twist for a good 10 minutes
oh dude it was so fun twisting them
i can't believe i don't have any cavities, but did get gingivitis once (went to dentist since I had an off-white yellow/brownish line along one tooth) and needed antibiotics lel
I love the Blue Raspberry ones but I don't have candy anymore. They made 'Sour' Airheads too and that were really tasty.
Anon, do you think Airhead didn't exist when the original was made?
Ohio State trademarked THE
frick osu
Like Apple and Monster?

what's hilarious is that you can, but any highschool law class worth its weight would have told you that in order for a trademark to be strong and more easily approved and be of a generic word, the word in question cannot simply be something that applies to the product
for instance, calling your company "apples" when all you sell are apples
but when you're a music company or a computer company, apple doesn't really say anything and thus adds more strength to the trademark
on the flipside of this is a thing called trademark erosion, which happened to things like aspirin and escalator, by overuse of words to become commonplace causing such trademarks to become genericized
also for infringement to occur, one must prove that there can easily exist confusion between parties or elements
noone is going to get confused thinking bowser saying "airhead" is a reference to a candy product
apple says hi
learn how trademark law applies through apple records v apple
What did he call her in the Japanese version?
finger butt
It's been a long ass time since I played the original Thousand Year door but were there battles with 5 enemies?
They're rare, but they definitely happen. There's even a battle against 5 Goombas in the Glitz Pit.
why the frick are the battle icons so frickhuge?
It's all so tiresome
i agree, how do people keep getting upset over nothing?
Honestly Lunkhead sounds more like something Bowser would say.
But airhead is more in line with the casual PM dialogue.
I was going to say this:
It doesn't make sense for Bowser to say lunkhead, because that's typically an insult used against dumb men.
Airhead is makes more sense, because he's insulting a woman.
but apparently even more offensive in-universe given all of their reactions.
It's a different translation. Not everything is a political issue. You can b***h when Vivian shit gets revealed.
This is a good change. Airhead has an early 90s valley girl vibe to it. Lunkhead sounds more Bowser-like.
Huh, bowser's lair actually looks straight up better.
Maybe they are actually trying even if they don't always get it right.
Looks a lot more fittingly dark rather than staticly bright.
defending trannieslation
>that painting of bowser with a moustache
Is this Bowser's father, King Bowser I
>Vivian is still not a troony
>Translatorgays lose
>Vivian is a troony
>based people lose
This is a lose lose on Ganker's end.
>Vivian remains a girl in the west
>shitposters have no ammo, a handful of people b***h about the translation, more porn is made
>Vivian is now a troony/trap in the west
>shitposters have unlimited ammo, but more porn is made
The moral of the story is to not give shitposters (You)s and to enjoy the porn regardless.
Ganker hates troonyslators though
Airhead is a sexist term used primarily towards women.
Is this what you have learned in genderstudies?
An airhead does dumb shit because he is absent minded.
A lunkhead is a slow witted moron with the focus on slow.
Airhead definitely was more female

Maybe touch controls
oh no the wokie wokety woke wokite wokkle devs are ruining our games once again
I know right, those /misc/ gamers are way worse than those who actually complain for lack of poc characters in nintendo’s lineup
This is the biggest reach ive ever seen of case of censorship.
Yeah. The censors really did reach pretty far. When they already had a full translation ready. And all they had to do was copy and paste text, it's crazy that they bothered to change the word. Why were they so bothered by "airhead"?
I meant for op for reaching but i should have been more clear
I know what you meant.
Why are you playing with children toys? Kinda creepy
Lunkhead is actually more offensive as a "Lunk" was a racial slur traditionally used against the native U''ivelm people of the plains of Appalachia by the Appalachians..
Love how every fricking speech bubble will be dissected for shitposting and fake outrage while I will just play it in my language and Nintendo of Europe does a better job anyway^^
Is peach walking around naked going to be kept in the switch version? And the playboy bunny boo?
Genuinely who gives a fat shit?
Lunkhead's a little sharper as an insult.
I don't care what kind of re-localization shit they do, just as long as they keep the genius idea to turn the Bunny Boos into cat Boos to get around Playboy.
honestly lunkhead sounds more like something Bowser would say so I'm cool with this
Important: How will the shower scene be altered?
It'll just be cut.
TEC will froth over peach doing her hair or something instead
it won't
it doesn't even show anything
considering madame flurrie's gigantic voluptuous breasts are still bouncing freely as god intended i seriously doubt there's anything else that they would be concerned about
Because a particular airhead died and became Black Jesus
