    My friend, all I'm offering is a different lens from which to view aspects of the story. If anything, it was my hope that explaining how some of these plot threads may be related to, or find root explanations in, Japanese culture/religion may open up new perspectives and understandings that go beyond a Eurocentric binary of "makes sense/doesn't make sense". My goal was not to definitively state "Yeah, Yoshi P and crew were definitely and intentionally hammering Japanese culture into this plot point", so much as providing new context. By all means, you can take it or leave it. So you can understand why it may seem a bit hollow for that to immediately be dismissed with "by claiming that Japanese culture may have at all influenced the game, you are dehumanizing Japanese people (but let me put in parentheses that you're not doing that so you don't get offended)".

    If you want good faith, give it in kind.
