Re: On the Origin of Species: Nosepass and Probopass: Investigating the inspirations
I always thought Probopass was a Jewish reference. No, srsly. Big nose, mustache, but what convinced me the most is how its menu sprite's got the little hat. I'm no antisemite, but it's what first came to my mind for some reason. Keep in mind that the Japanese do view the Jews in a positive light, so if this is the case and I am not a crazy man, it's likely to be done with positive intent.
