Wow, I’ve just been realizing some possible social implications from the game Donkey Kong (the original). Let’s see, enlist an Italian to endanger his life to defeat a big monkey on top of a construction site so the pretty white princess might be rescued? This sounds like it could be a might prejudiced against Italians and blacks. Now I say this

actually, the suburbia i'm talking about isn't the penelope spheeris directed/ roger corman produced 1984 film. i'm talking about the richard linklater directed/ eric bogosian written one.

but thanks for the support on cartoon/ game theory ^_^

he-man was gay, look at his outfit, i mean he was deff. into the whole S and M thing wear what he did on a normal basis.
