On his stream last night Max disclosed a long winded explanation of the Gaelic pronunciation towards Cait Sith and expressed his utmost apology towards the Scottish community.

Max has thus far been adamant that the Cait Sith pronunciation was Kate Sith and that the Cat She is a simple localization issue. After doing some research, Max explains, he found that the name of Cait Sith has a far deeper origin that he was not previously aware of.

Opening his stream last night, he explained all of this and implored his fan base that he feels bad for his previous stance and that he hopes he has given his fans a wider cultural understanding. Max disclosed that his previous stance got a lot of backlash and even one person threatening to CAR BOMB him.

Max wrapped up his apology by saying "The correct name is Ket She."

Do you forgive Max?

I'd initially doubt that someone threatened Max over a character name, especially with that, but he does have a huge viewership. Statistically possible.

It's great he finally acknowledged his ignorance over the topic, but he still acted like a smug douchebag high off clout that needed to be humbled.

Going "oh I just never knew it was based off a Scottish legend and pronounced a different way" after arguing with everyone for an entire day who tried to explain that exact thing to him was really obnoxious.

And personally I just refuse to believe that someone who's such a huge FF7 fan somehow didn't know the etymology of one of its main characters names after so many years.

Apparently even that was supposed to be an Irish ARI joke and wasn't meant to be a legitimate threat, which someone told him about.

To be fair, it was about the pronunciation of a cartoon fictional cat, so he was mostly arguing in the "it's not a big deal" tone until he got humbled why it's a big deal. Max is known to have some hot takes, but at minimum, this is a case of him actually acknowledging he is wrong and that's more than even most people on CE are willing to do when they're caught being factually wrong about anything.

Nah, that doesn't hold up. People who've been playing SF2 since before I was born still don't know how to pronounce fuckin' Ryu's name.

"ket shee" is what he's called in Japanese and what's closer to the original Gaelic.

Keep in mind this isn't just a FF thing. The cait sith is a Celtic mythological creature also referenced in Persona games and such. It's been a thing for ages.

Should have changed his name to Caith Shith just to piss people off.

It was too on the nose to be a real threat. The Irish Republican Army used car bombs during The Troubles against the British. Someone thought they were being funny, but they had to explain it to Max because he had no idea.

It's funny because we used to live in a time where weebs completely dunked on official translations and English dubs due to them not translating or pronouncing things properly -- instead opting for fansubs and the like.

But now we're getting people gargling the balls of an official English dub that is purposefully mispronouncing something just for the sake of it.

How times have changed.

I can't really fault people for misprononcing it given the EN twitter of square mispronounced it, despite JP square getting it pretty close.

Refusing to acknowledge the origin initially was pretty dumb though, but at least he realised where it came from in the end?

Anyone sending death threats should face jail time though tbh.
