Escándalo de Super Mario! Mario "Appropriates" Mexican outfits


Indeed, it didn't take long for snowflake crazies to find something to bash about the upcoming Super Mario Odyssey game; what Mario is wearing in particular when he goes to that Mexican looking kingdom place. I mean people are getting upset that Mario is wearing a Sombrero and a Poncho in the game; and keep in mind that the reason he wears it is to have the one guy get his approval regarding  a dress code in the kingdom in the game. But alas, the mere fact that Mario is wearing them means that somehow the game is racist towards Mexicans; like as if Nintendo would go out of its way to tick off the population of Mexico and its cousins outside of Mexico. Last time I checked, Mario's more concerned about rescuing Peach from Bowser Koopa's wedding that she didn't want and I highly doubt he should worry about the Mexican clothes he dons later on as long as he's...you know, fully clothed and not otherwise.

Thankfully a lot of Mexican people aren't really offended at this and in fact are pretty okay with it, as anyone should be. That and of course folks like AlphaOmegaSin pointing out the absurdity of the whole backlash against Mario wearing sombreros and ponchos.

I don't know about you, but there's a lot of things I'd be more concerned about when it comes to Super Mario Odyssey than a freaking sombrero and poncho and I suggest you do too.
