If the move is a reference to a game that is now deemed offensive, I'm not sure why removal of the feather makes it stop being a reference to an offensive game when it is still clearly a reference to Fire Attack with or without the feather. Mr. Game and Woke isn't burning down buildings or behaving as a savage or being portrayed as the enemy to a cowboy or perpetuating any of those stereotypes with this move, so why is it offensive that he has a feather now, unattached to any stereotype? If it is offensive because it references a offensive game, then the entire reference should be removed. In Fire Attack, the characters aren't offensive because they have a feather, they are offensive because they are perpetrating a savage or enemy only stereotype. Removing the feather from the animation as a solution implies that the feather itself is offensive, and actually removes diversity from Game and Watch's design. --- move all remaining groundhog mercenaries to the front lines.
