You may be the victor now, but the entire world can know your crimes. Your interpretation of the game, and the world, are reductive and fairly useless. The developers are not pushing this idea and at all.

    The more all of you talk the more it sounds like a. you are in denial and b. you have some other ethical hangup that has nothing to do with the playerbase or Yoshi P and are looking for moral grandstanding wherever you can find it. Any time the conversation breaks down to point out that you don't actually understand what happened or what the story was even about, you "give up".

    This is why you should not jump to just players' morality based on your interpretation of a story, especially when you are not equipped to do so.

    And if the French localizer used it, that just tells us they're comfortable applying extremely insensitive real world classifications to a video game about Ancient perfect beings.

    SE also has a well documented historical issue with localizations. This is an extreme case where it would be appropriate to look at the original source and decide if that's the best term.
