Remember that 'Mayor' (boss) idiotic forced meme from a few years back? I just saw this in this month's RetroGamer magazine. There was another 'mayor' reference in a previous issue not too long ago too. Has this writer just taken this term from /vr/? I've never heard it used anywhere else.

What the hell

>>12080648https://desuarchive.org/vr/thread/6802939/#q6803790I inadvertently triggered the meme by making this post in 2020. I'm fairly certain that I had brought it up once or twice before in previous years, but it really took off after this.
You can actually play as a mayor in Final Fight, Mayor Mike Haggar on his way to cleanse the streets of Metro City and rescue his daughter Jessica.
Why the fuck is this a thing? Never saw anyone refer to a boss as a "mayor"

>>12080747Interesting. And also very strange that this one writer has been using the term fairly regularly over the last few years in Retro Gamer. He has to have taken it from /vr/ surely
The US manual for Gradius III on the SNES referred to the bosses as "mayors". Maybe this rabbit hole goes deeper than we think.
but why 'mayors'...?

Man you guys have never been to /tg/ huh? In brazil they used to use the term "chefão" (Big Boss) back in the 90s.
