Genesis is a name that demands respect, unlike mega dildo

Rent freeeeeeeeee
But the answer is simple: we're all that matters, baby. Like it or not that's how it is.

>>5544924
North America invented the internet, what North America calls things is more important than what other places call things, it's a good name, it's an official name used by Sega, who cares, there are a lot of reasons.

>>5544924
Because of excessive autism:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sega_Genesis

megadrive and sega_megadrive redirects there anyway so who cares

>>5544924
I edit wikipedia often. Sometimes I run articles through my script that changes UK and Canadian English spellings to US spellings, making sure that quotes and URLs aren't affected. Whenever people try to change them back, I don't even have to take any action, others revert those changes for me within minutes.

US runs the world, anon.

>>5544930
OK mutt :3

Prepare to lose the throne to China soon.

>>5544924
>Why does the English Wikipedia article call the Mega Drive the "Sega Genesis", when it isn't called that anywhere outside of North America?
I don't understand why you're posting this here, don't Wikipedia pages have their own discussion pages?
One would figure it'd be better to use those instead of 4chan, of all places.

>>5544924
There are probably more Americans than Euros and Japanese, population-wise.

>>5544924
>>5544931
Plus Wikipedia is also an American website, just like 4chan. So, I guess OP should complain about it on your home countries version of 4chan and Wikipedia. You have those, right... right?

>>5545104
Whatever. Nobody is going to learn Chinese, or adopt it’s backward culture. It’ll be the other way around, China will be westernized. Why do you think there are so many restrictions on foreign media in China? Pooh is just trying to delay the inevitable.

Fun fact: This image is banned in China.

>>5545143
The US and many western countries will willingly destroy themselves from within. China just has to fill that vacuum of power. It is currently taking over Africa.

>>5544931
>North America invented the internet
Not really. How is that relevant to being accurate anyway?

>what North America calls things is more important than what other places call things
How come?

>it's an official name used by Sega
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Hard_Girls

>Genesis (ジェネシス Jeneshisu)
>Voiced by: Asami Tano
>A self-obsessed American cowgirl. She prefers the nickname "Genny" (a reference to the colloquial nickname for the Genesis).
>Is a personification of the North American release for the Sega Genesis game console, created as a part of the SeHa Girls character series. A separate character exists to represent the Mega Drive, as it appeared outside of North America.
Sounds about right.

>>5544924
cause no one outside north america bought one
it was the xbox360 of the 16bit era
bitch

50 hertz Sonic was very popular in backwater that still has a queen.

>>5544924
Because after a ton of back-and-forth between Europoors and Amerisharts, Wikipedia policy is to default to the name chosen when the article came out of stub status.

>>5544924
Autists encamped on the article and "decided" it for everyone. The talk page for it is a joke.

>Not really
This. It wasn't North America, it was America.

>>5545201
“Not really”
Actually yes really, the USA is to thank.
“Some other gay shit”
Just shut the fuck up.

>>5545370
Which one?

>>5545395
The America that matters.

>>5544924
>Why does this American made website call this by its American name?
Gee, I wonder.

>literally being a European
Can you imagine?

>>5545484
Go easy on them, they're 17% slower

Genesis sounds gay. Mega rhymes with Sega and has Mega power. What does Gayness Sis have? Gay?

Burger education.

>>5544924
Why would you call anything by a name only used by the countries that don't matter? We didn't tell everyone to kill their empires and protect our economic might through the UN to call it a Mega Drive. You're welcome to live in obscurity and pretend your apartment built in 1522 matters but don't talk shit or daddy will have to punish you.

>>5545795
Now compare native English speakers in all those regions.

>>5545781
>Mega rhymes with Sega
Based Australian.

>>5545847
Now or in 50 years?

>>5544924

It was originally called the SEGA Amerifat system.
Then they changed it to genesis. Idiots.

The reasons are extensively covered on the article's talk page. Every major talking point about the debate has already been addressed dozens of times over. OP either lacks reading comprehension or is just trying to stir up shit.

Wasn't it due to the name Mega Drive already being trade marked?

>postin' in a trollin'-thread

>>5545115
>just like 4chan
Pretty sure hironigger is Japanese. Even moot became japanese. Japanese.
Japanese.

>>5544924
No one cares you EuroPoo

>>5545104
Let’s see what happens when the real estate bubble bursts m8

Digging through the autistic discussions held at the article's talk page I found this argument that I believe it definitely settles it

>The rename for the US is a part of the Mega Drive's history: the rebranding happened to the Mega Drive not to the Sega Genesis.

>>5544924
Ok, anon, I've noticed the uptick in angry euro posting. Look, the reason the semen rations have been lighter than usual is because I had some genital warts frozen off. They were kinda big, so I haven't really been able to meet quota over the past week. I just didn't want to tear the scabs off.

That being said, I do apologize. I'm not making an excuse, I'm just telling you what happened. I know you guys rely on those semen rations and I have let you down. I promise, though, that my quota will be met moving forward.

>>5545104
God I can't wait for the fall of the US. Legit a horrible, shallow and arrogant country that's just ruining shit for all of us.
Biggest wish is for US, Russia and China to just all fuck off and seperate into smaller countries.

>>5545201
literally no one called the genesis "genny"

Imagine booting up your american computer with its american operating system, opening your american internet browser, using your american search engine, and then going to an american imageboard to complain about america

>>5547214
Why do Americans always treat entertainment like it has any sort of value at all besides just being shit you watch/use in your free time.
Like having George Lucas get an award from Obama. Why? They're just fucking movies, man.

>>5547220
Because we're the best and everybdy wants to be us.

>>5547220
Of all the things to question, you really choose something that's not even American exclusive? You want something really fucking confusing? Why the hell do Americans treat their teeth like they're so much more important than the rest of their bodies? You can have a 500 pound man barely breathing but the only thing someone will comment on is his tooth decay. I remember a while back there was this big issue about moms giving their babies soda instead of milk and instead of doing anything about the BLATANT health issues with this, the only thing anyone gave a fuck about was the damage that could be done to the babies' forming teeth. There were literally dentists going into these towns and doing actual work on the older children for free but NO actual doctors did a damn thing.

>>5545104
>China

lmao they can't even clone a Genesis properly

>>5547230
No one where I'm from gives a rat's ass about entertainment. I don't know what piece of shit country you live in tho.

aren't there european imageboards that you could be on right now?

>>5547230
Most people don't even need to have their "wisdom teeth" removed. It's all about the $$$$.

>>5547230
americans dont give a damn about any part of their health. funny too since if you asked any of them, i can bet 90% would say they think they're healthy

>>5547258
Yes they do.

If you have some teeth removed, you got a chance they might push the rest of your teeth around enough that they will fit.

With modern dentistry and not losing several teeth by the time they would come in, the test nowhere for them to go into and they get impacted, painful and infected

>>5547353
Your post makes absolutely no sense.

>>5547389
american education system IN ACTION ladies and gentlemen

>>5545097
>t. european
It's really funny that a EUROPEAN of all people talks about being mixed. Every single time you post it, it furthers me realizing inescapable fact that you're just projecting.
Keep saying it, bucko.

i have only one thing to say: fuck americans

>>5547230
I'm imagining a Brit being this salty that Americans care so much about dental health

lmao

The only "native" English speakers are from England, if you're not native to the country then it might be your first language but it's not native.

>>5547685
Americans don't give a shit about their dental health, they care about the aesthetics. Brits literally have the healthiest teeth in the world.

>>5550247
No. I fully support the mainland and of course the party. HK belongs to China.

Actually it's the Sega Mega System, "Mega Drive" was just a marketing term for it.

>>5551365
You what a "marketing term" for a product is called?
Its name.
