Now, what will they be doing about Kirby's headdress? Mario is offensive to Italian-Americans, he should be removed from Nintendo's lineup. Peach is a stereotype of damsels in distress and must be removed to ensure girls have positive self-image. Capturing Pokemon represents animal cruelty. Pokemon should be removed.

This is getting to be absurd. A silhouette of an LCD guy with a setup that I would not know is a feather and a hatchet were I not told is now offensive. Even if it were, how is it now offensive to portray these tribes accurately even within a cartoonized fashion? There were a few peaceful tribes, the Iroquois, etc. There were also warrior tribes, such as the Apache, etc. Many of the tribesmen were warriors in tribes built around warfare, at war with neighboring tribes, as is common in all tribal societies. While some tribes were displaced and destroyed by the arrival of Europeans, not all were unwelcoming or naieve. Some welcomed the invaders and their firearms, for the opportunity to trade for said firearms to gain advantage against their enemies. Why are we rewriting history to show the native peoples as maize farming buffalo herders when some were that, and others were building their territory through warfare, not unlike the European invaders themselves? The French and Indian War wasn't France coming in and laying siege to all natives as a pacification program. Warrior tribes were allying with the French to lay siege to their enemies. Of course they got bit in the end, but they were willing participants of their own destruction much like the former nations that tried to ally with the Nazis in a misguided attempt to bolster their own advantage. The new rewrite that all tribes were like the Iroquois is as much a work of fiction as 1950's cowboys & Indians stereotypes. Different peoples, different "nations", different values, and policies. There's no homogeneous "Native American." There were many different groups of people, who all got screwed in the long run, but some got screwed pacifistically, and some were war mongers that sold themselves down the river foolishly with misguided war alliances.

Being offended at portraying the native population of NA as warriors is like being offended at portraying ancient Japanese as Samurai, ancient Europeans as Knights, Crusaders, or Vikings. Of all the things to make into a political correctness issue, how is that even a thing? Yes, not everyone was a warrior. Some tribes had no warriors. Just as not all Europeans were Knights and Vikings and not all Japanese were Samurai. But these are iconic roles in their traditional societies.

I want to see outrage the next time someone displays a Brit in armor with a sword, running someone through.
