    Toastyfrog Rebuts Racism, Calls Out Internet For Dickery

    Hey, Kotaku readership! Remember earlier this week, when both Brian "Briana" Ashcraft and Florian "I Don't Want To Piss This Man Off" Eckhardt weighed in on whether the (seemingly) dreadlocked, blackfaced Loco Roco bad guys hit a little too close to home on the picaninny front? No? Well, they were both giving their opinions on one particular 1UP blogger's initial reaction to potentially offensive character designs that even I, Mr. Insensitive, thought might stir up some ire.

    Now, 1UP blogging champ and militant anti-Treasure-ist Jeremy Parish has something to say on the topic: you're all a bunch of mouth-breathing dicks. Between the namecalling and missing the part where Eckhardt says he thinks Alejandro is not a racist, Jeremy makes some excellent points about the cultural differences and ignorances that lead to something as innocuos as disembodied cartoon heads being labeled racial propaganda.

    Go on, read it. You might learn a thing or two about Japanese perception of American culture. And have a little fun thinking about the goodness of Loco Roco while you're at it!
