You can tell Earthbound was made in Japan because the cops try to attack a child using karate chops, rather than just shooting him.
To say nothing of how fascist they act with like 5 officers bringing you, a literal child, into a locked room and attempting to beat you unconscious. I've heard a theory that it's meant to partially be a reference to Rodney King, but that might be a Sans Is Ness thing.
PK BASHIN' :sicko-ness: :hexbear-pride::hexbear-static::hexbear-posadist: :pigmask-parodied:
I played that much more recently and remember :pigmask-off:
Also they stand around making roadblocks while skate punks roam the streets with impunity.
And one of the cops in Fourside has a line about how they're only there at the behest of Monotoli.
I didn't realize how based Earthbound was regarding cops until my most recent playthrough. It owns.
