* ValuesDissonance: In the second profile for characters, "Savage" and "Chi" for example, to say that Tourette's syndrome is just an excuse or them using the fact that their musician was Chinese as an excuse to base him off of Chinese stereotypes would definitely not fly well at all with modern audiences, ''and lets not even get started about Buddy''...

* ValuesDissonance: In the second profile for characters, "Savage" and "Chi" for example, to say that Tourette's syndrome ValuesDissonance:
** The InsaneEqualsViolent card
is just an excuse or them played rather frequently, with Savage using the fact that their musician was Chinese HollywoodTourettes as an excuse to base for his violent trash-talking, Asylum's SplitPersonality causing him off to become a deranged killer, and Buddy frequently being referred to as a "tard". While these unsympathetic depictions of Chinese stereotypes the mentally ill were par for the course in 1996, it would definitely not fly well at all with modern audiences, ''and lets not even get started audiences.
** Mojumbo is a very stereotypical portrayal of HollywoodNatives that frequently makes references to [[ImAHumanitarian cannibalism]], while Chi is heavily based off of Chinese stereotypes, complete with speaking almost exclusively in FunnyBruceLeeNoises, with the creators claiming that they had a Chinese musician who didn't notice to blame for it. Such insensitive portrayals of different cultures were already on their way out of the mainstream by 1996, and would be completely lambasted in the modern day.
** Spice is a 16-year old prostitute who is just as prone to being bloodily killed like everyone else, with nary any comment made
about Buddy''...it. With underage violence and sexuality having become far more controversial after the game's release, the blasé treatment of Spice would undoubtedly be sharply criticized today. [[CreatorBacklash Even the creators aren't too proud of her being just 16]].
--->At the time, it seemed hot to make her our age. Now, with an adult mind, it feels a little creepy.

unfortunate implications need citations.
