Why would gamefreak depict an autistic man as a deranged genocidal psychopath who wanted to destroy the universe? Seems pretty callous to like half their fanbase
>>56593348Did Tajiri laugh about it?
Holy fuck... he's just like me...
>>56593348Still not nearly as bad as Lysander, what was even his point?
>>56593348
>>56593348Tajiri being autistic had no source at all and was likely made up on the spot.
OP the autistic here is a mistranslation by the machine translating lol
>>56594250No it isnt. The kaiji used for sperg is very literal and doesnt have any perticular double meaning.
>>56594308>the kaijilmaoDo you have proof with a comparison?
>>56593411Lysandre wanted to save the few that bought into his Scientology scheme so that after he nuked the world he could start from a clean slate. Although the people he recruited were dumb goons who wouldnt have any worth in a civilization collapse anyway.
>>56593348The kanji used for "autism" actually spells out "reserved", which isn't that far from what "autistic" used to mean in the past.
if a 10 year old forming a criminal organization at the age of 15 and striving to become God just because he was insulted isn't autism, then I don't know what is
>>56593348Only half?
>>56596532You got the oras version of this?Or was it exactly the same
>>56595315The kanji is off by a character. Cyrus is described with "自閉的". The actual japanese term for autism is "自閉症", look up the latter on Wikitonary or Jisho and you'll see that's the term used for autism in japanese. The former basically just says he's "closed off".I guess you could read it as "he has autistic traits"?
>>56596215>GoonsI just giggled like a moron. I fucking hate what the internet did to this word
>>56597196Ehh, it's more what the internet did to your brain. I hear goon, i hear that "hired goons" bit from the simpsons generally. Or goon bag (4L bladder of wine, so called as it makes you act an idiot or goon in roofucker if you drink a whole bag) but that's a bit rarer than "hired goons".
>>56597042Thank you. This is exactly what I was trying to say to the other poster, it does NOT say he's autistic. Doesn't change the fact that it's describing traits that are very commonly shown in autistic people hence why so many people have thought he was autistic over the years
>>56593348This is cancel material considering he is the only one that they named as autistic. Tell twitter. Behead gamefreak.
>>56597042>>56598406Correct, this is the same case as with Gundam Zeta where Kamille says he's autistic, but it just means introverted. The Japanese use it in the OG meaning, derived from Greek root autos, aka "self-admiration and withdrawal within self".
