I feel like what this boils down to is that Nintendo used an English phrase 40 years ago that they didn't understand and nobody bothered to correct them until it was far too late
Unless she's ALSO described as a bounty hunter in Japanese, in which case I don't know what the fuck they were on

The entire fandom’s (and Retro Studios) initial assumption: “Oh she hunts down the baddest monsters in the galaxy and gets paid for it, right?”
Nintendo: “What? No. She’s like humanity’s motherly guardian. What are you talking about.”

I haven't read Lolita but I wonder if Garcia Marquez ever said anything like this about Love in the Time of Cholera
It'd be a lot harder to justify because that book is told by a third-person omniscient narrator, not the protagonist

People have been misinterpreting Lolita since it came out and Nabokov was like "you're absolutely wrong; I wrote this to create a trap that you fell into and you should reflect on why you were so gullible about a monster."
![INTERVIEWER
He does [names him]. A third critic has said that you “diminish” your characters “to the point where they become ciphers in a cosmic farce.” I disagree; Humbert, while comic, retains a touching and insistent quality—that of the spoiled artist.
NABOKOV
I would put it differently: Humbert Humbert is a vain and cruel wretch who manages to appear “touching.” That epithet, in its true, tear-iridized sense, can only apply to my poor little girl. Besides, how can I “diminish” to the level of ciphers, et cetera, characters that I have invented myself? One can “diminish” a biographee, but not an eidolon.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sajwk2kma5oeryy6odgweciz/bafkreibqwlfwj2jyd3apcdb22rbcxsvxpnw36ryqpgqwyu3kc4cn2rbkxm@jpeg)

I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

I'm on the third episode and I'm bugged by a few things, but the biggest is probably just a personal peeve of mine:
They keep calling the girl from the other island "Lykos" even though she told them that's not her name
Though admittedly she hasn't given them a name
