it was a huge scandal, which was why I remembered it, and by context she is very clearly intending to say "in a grocery store" and it comes out fast and sounding wrong
you have to go to the specialty ethnic store for pocky...oh wait, no, they sell that in regular grocery stores now...that's the sentiment
A white woman saying the N-word? Say it ain't so!
He should change the character to 18, because doesn’t seem any reviewer noticed this or cared enough about this. So I imagine the character doesn’t look 15.

Seems really easy to not involve pedophilia in your game. But what do I know?

Almost sound like is a non issue and you are mad at him for another reason.

you...think it's a non-issue to double down on this?
did you consider the optics here
Quote:it would also be great if the media, in addition to sometimes painting Musk as shadow president, went back and used file photos of him prior to his hair transplant, whenever a need to show his face arises.
That’ll show him!
*earlier*
Reporter: President Trump, did you see the Time magazine cover that shows ELON MUSK as the president and he’s got his tongue out an a speech bubble that says ‘Drumpf is a booboo head! neener neener!’?
Trump: Oh haha does it elon rules i love him hes so funny 😊

Seems no one notice since that character appeared since the first game.

It's very weird because the first game the character is in no shape or form treated like a teenager nor does he look like it. He's basically the classic spoiled noble stereotype. I guess you could argue that a 15 year old was treated more like an adult back then but it's still weird that Henry would treat him like someone who is the same age.
Honestly when I first read it I thought people were just trolling. Very odd call by the developer

I imagine is also because Henry is a commoner and Hans is a Noble.

Oh I see why they can't adjust the age. Hans is based on a real life person with a real birthdate. And they can't change the time the game takes place because the story also relies on a bunch of real events.

This isn't the town of the address but it's the town that Homes.com puts on the listing, so presumably it's actually the closer town and the address is just because of some municipal dividing line. I checked versus the address and her house is actually pretty much equal distance to Redan and Lithonia:
But the actual neighborhood seems to be:

Friendliness: nice.
But I don't want anyone saying there's no Black Culture there:
Actually, I've said this before but I will mention it again just to make things clear. There is a ring of Black middle-class and upper-class suburbs around Atlanta. This is one of those, it is not a white suburb like you find around most cities in the United States. Atlanta is different, as is many Southern cities actually, as the middle class is much more racially equal. To use the Blue State of Michigan as an example, Black people move individually into white suburbs but there is a stark disparity between the racial populations so that Black middle class suburbs are very rare. Atlanta is different, that disparity statistically doesn't really exist in many areas around it or is at least far less stark. Blacks have spread far outside the city unlike many American cities where they're often geographically confined within them.

Many of us thought he could've been a troll, but no troll on earth would take actual photos of themselves, buy all these childish objects, and then admit to serious pedophilic attractions and urges. This was no troll. This was an actual genuine serious danger to children in the making.
Are ya gonna say anything to that or just ignore it, blueballs?

there is perhaps another element which could've been adjusted which would've eliminated the issue
