You're on the internets, bro. Poe's Law is always in effect.

Also, people could be reacting in a similarly ironically excessive manner also in order to be amusing, though Reelya doesn't strike me as the type to do that.

True, and I considered the latter, but when people do come down on the wrong side of Poe's law, it's usually better to explain yourself quickly. A joke stops being funny when people actually think you're accusing them of fundamental sin.

Which, honestly, doesn't happen that much on Bay12.

What really bugs me about this is... Remember Wonderful 101?

It was originally going to be a game where you collect Nintendo characters with each stage being a different franchise.

That was rejected... and THIS is the one that got through?

Save Mario! Boycot Mario!

It's like changing Sesame street to dress up Ernie and Bert in suicide vests and arm Big Bird with a bazooka cause guns and explosions are cool, and replacing Kermit with a Teletubby

As Devil's advocate, this is Mario. Routine homicide by fire Mario. Jump off best friend and leave for dead for higher score Mario. Mario is no saint.

I understand a distaste for guns that aren't giant cannons firing shark bullets, but I'm not really certain that the directed energy weapon depicted is all that different that the directed energy weapon gained from eating a fire flower.

That said, I too am rather utterly confused as to who was smoking what to get that approved.

There has to be an ubisoft rep that's a real sweet talker to make that happen.  One of those IPs brings a lot more value than the other.

Man for a while I was going to be like "Goodness news stop blowing it out of proportion. Ok so some kids made a terrible joke in the year books it doesn't mean anything"

And then I found out it was the Teacher who did this... "Ohh... Teacher... Carry on the burning"

Didnt you get superlatives in high school?

I was voted 'best eyes' and 'most likely to become a serial killer'.

But lets be honest.  This particular trope is by no means new.
