"It's Aeris not Aerith! Japan doesn't have the 'TH' sound! Square localised it as Aeris and retconned it!"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Aerith_Gainsborough/Name_debate_archive

This isn't a jab at Rika, though I was actually looking up something to see if PAL regions got Aerith on the PS1 game or not so I could post in his topic. That would have been funny if it had been true.

But anyway, looking this up led me to the Wikipedia talk page where a bunch of nerds in the mid-00's argued over whether it was Aeris or Aerith. A bunch of ignorant fanboys yelling and peeing their pants over dumbass weeb reasons to keep Aerith's Wikipedia page spelled incorrectly. "Oh but THIS offers conclusive proof that it's Aeris! If we go with Aerith, we'll need to change every Final Fantasy character's name to their romanji counterparts like Cain, Terah and the like!" And it just reminded me of the sort of butt-baby fanboys today, the dregs of online society, who can never accept that they might be wrong about some shit like this. The sort that usually goes hand in hand with anti-SJW sentiment.

Again - Rika's topic led me to this point, but I'm not saying this about Rika or his thread. That shit looks like just a bit of fun, no hate.

Rika's topic is a bit of fun, do whatever you do, dude. This shit, though, is hilarious. Whether it's today or yesterday, nerds being wrong and doubling down on it is my bread and butter.
