>turn fat cat into melting monster thing
What did burgerland mean by this?

[Anonymous No.6418241]

Idk, it guess it wsn't intimidating enough, and it didn't go with the ice theme

[Anonymous No.6418254]

In Japan, cats don't like spicy foods, which is why you have to feed it hot food to kill it. They probably figured it would seem too random overseas, so they changed it into a melting ice monster.

The problen is marketers. Apparently, marketing is just borderline folk wisdom. American kids want edgy angry rebel cartoons. What Mario, what Yoshi? You paid for this "consultation" more than you pay your lead programmer, so of course you're going to take our advice because otherwise you'll feel like an absolute fucking retard.

I didn't expect cat culture to vary so much

I'm pretty sure American cats also don't like spicy foods.

If you've never seen a cat's reaction to eating spicy food I recommend it. Mine tried to take a bite of a hot wing when she was like 6 months old and it was hilarious. I think probably there's just more spicy meat in Japan that smells like something a cat would think it might want to eat.

[Anonymous No.6422975]

>>6418871
Yeah but it's not something Americans would immediately think about. In Japan it is, because there it's a common saying that people who can't handle hot food have a "cat's tongue".

Some Japanese executive thought this music sounded too “nostalgic”:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought nekojita referred to literally hot food, as in temperature? That was how it was used in Kamen Rider 555, as best I could tell -- he was always blowing on soups and threw a fit about there not being cold soup at a meal once.

[Anonymous No.6423706]

It's supposed to be a visual cue to how it's weak to heat, right? For it to be partially melted to show it's already been fucked up by something hot makes perfect sense. Anyway, I'm more amused at how the American Ristar has angry eyebrows.

Europe is like the insecure geeky gay guy who pretends to be a chav to seem cool. They try being all tough but in private they'll do anything.

Unironically yes. The urban culture is one of the most blatant social engineering examples, too.

It's not like he's explicitly wrong, Jews are actually a part of this and it is actually because they're Jewish. There's just a few other faces at that creepy mask party who aren't, and the bigger picture is lost when you just blame the Jew.

I'm sincerely sad new Kirby games don't continue to arbitrarily give Kirby angry eyes in America. It's not that it's a good change but it's something I feel should be carried on just for the sake of tradition, like using a badly-translated but memorable line of dialogue throughout a series.
