Yeah.
People who think their childhood is sacred and that implying anything was wrong with it is an attack on them are cringe as %%%%. It’s so bad. No, just because you didn’t understand at the time doesn’t mean it is fine.
My theory is that a lot of folk live terrible adult lives and have to mentally regress to their childhood to escape reality. It is really the only explanation for why people are so defensive of something we know is wrong and was right to be changed.

Yes let’s just change everything that some snowflakes couldn’t handle on Twitter. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this movie it is completely fine and very funny. Anyway I’m done you people are hopeless and get upset over nothing.

Yes that’s right.
omg I just remember the police strip scene it is pretty messed up haha.
As far as that’s concerned I’m with you on that. I work out of a military base where we don’t have internet and usually watch a set of DvDs during our shift. The nature of my work means we’ve pretty much stuck in 80-90s style of communication (no phone, no internet just each other to talk to).
The amount of ‘offensive movies’ we’ve seen out classes Ace Ventura by a long shot. Last night we saw ‘Airplanes!’ and that easily trumps it in the offensive humour. It’s definitely worth a watch for a laugh.

Which is ironic because the dolphin Ventura was trying to save from Einhorn was named Snowflake
And now the snowflakes are taking it away.
Personally I see nothing wrong with it either. You can have a sense of humor even about serious topics or yourself. There’s nothing wrong with poking fun at things if it’s not malicious. Which Ace Ventura is definitely not.
Anyone feeling attacked by this means you just want to be offended and are searching for a reason.

In my youth I used to think 90s Jim Carrey humor was amazing.
As an adult…I can’t understand the appeal. He always played a character that made the worst possible choices while speaking in silly voices. Pretty much a cartoon

Yeah he was a total nut, but it was worth a few laughs if you turned off your brain.

Nothing means anything but the meaning we give to it.
Honestly, a lot of people spend much of their minds by giving meaning and value to bogus things and bogus people.
Seemingly unrelated but an important concept to keep in mind is:
“Society does not need you, you need society.”
That means your individual points are important to you, but they are only important to society if they are important to society.
And yes, people often dont understand what the aforementioned specific part means, and that is the problem.
I know this in the past now. I’ve accepted it. I just hope they understand how impactful naming and renaming NPCs is.
If anything, the gaming industry will probably take notice and limit the practice in the future.
There is far more outrage from the changes than there was benefit for adding real world references in game
I think there’s been far too much, mostly fake, outrage over unimportant things the last couple of years in general.
This thread is a good example. A month ago Blizzard changed the name of a character in a game that they created, so what?

This is another one I either legit did not know existed or when I saw it the reference went right over my head. Either way good riddance, never liked those movies thought they were frivolous. And tedious. Except when he crashes the jeep into the parking space and declares, “Like . . . a . . . glove.” as though people are watching who actually care. That part was always gold.
The game is worked on by game developers. These game developers don’t want to work in an environment which they consider “gross”. The taint of Afrasabi lingered even after his departure, and the new dev team has been working to remove his influence from the game. That means removing a lot of the frat boy culture elements like homophobia, transphobia, the exclusive objectification of women, etc.
People get their head in a twist about the bowl of fruit thing happening in the same rough period as the Incubus addition or adding men to the Den of Mortal Delights, but they don’t understand the bowl of fruit was replacing Afrasabi’s softcore p***, it had nothing to do with the idea women and men can’t be revealing. Afrasabi had his greasy pervert fingers on a lot of classic-era content and they want to do what they can to remove or minimize his fingerprints.
It’s not transphobic that a straight man would probably feel unwell/vomit after unknowingly kissing another man.
I’m a lesbian, and if I had been ‘tricked’ into kissing someone who looked female but was actually a man I’d feel sick too.
Oh, I forgot. We aren’t allowed to have a sexuality anymore, it has to be a genderality.
