People forget that this is a fangame of the same series that had a main character named Eliwood.
I never once read “Faratrass” as “Fatass” during my playthrough of MS, but if you’re afraid that people are doing so you could change the spelling to “Faratras” to get rid of the “ass” sequence. The “Fatass” crowd is just trolls trolling.
Now, back to eating my balanced breakfast of Raisin Bram~
Not gonna lie, I don’t really see any sort of “English/American” bias going on here (What is that even supposed to mean?).
It’s just someone trying to be clever, tripping, and falling on their face.
Oh you just reminded me I need to do an MS LP where I intentionally misread her name every time and make it into a meme you’ll never be able to escape.
It’s easier for American/English native speakers to see something wrong with “Faratrass”, because there are similar, ambiguous words in their language, like “fart”, “fat”, or “ass”. Italian or French people won’t ever see anything wrong with “Faratrass”, because it doesn’t remind them of any words.
Similarly, you don’t see anything wrong with “Puledra”, despite the fact that it’s supposed to be a very ridiculous Italian name. To give you the idea, for an Italian to read “Puledra”, is like for an English reader to read “Sexhorse”.
Another example is “Lucina”. It means “Little Light” in Italian, which is kinda awkward. But it’s perfectly fine for other cultures.
These are language bias. I don’t see anything wrong with it, and it’s not racist. It’s just normal for someone to interpret the world based on their own culture, their own point of view.
edit: I just saw the full picture (extended past the FEU image preview). Holy goddamn, what a fucking fuckface. That’s the type of person who makes me want to quit gaming/modding/game dev/etc.
Oh wow, I didn’t even know that was a thing. I thought it was just the initial comment that made Alfred cringe. If it was just the initial comment, I’d be under the impression that he was taking it a wee bit too seriously but that guy is a total douche. Goddamn.
I’ll try and remember to add wacky and h-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s fart sounds whenever she talks too. It’ll be great. The best ever. Coming to an LP near you roughly 2026 when Klok does LP’s again.
Quite a few characters have weird names in this series, so I don’t really get why you’d think anything about Faratrass. If it bothers people that much, maybe you could change it to “Faratress” instead? Then again, it kind of sounds like “fortress” then, but I guess with the high defense it would kind of make sense. It’d also work with her harboring the demon king inside of her. She acts as a bit of a fortress to protect the people-- it’s a bit of a stretch though.
