So underneath this readmore are the more problematic Chibis I mentioned in my last post (link to that here)

They're underneath here due to both whitewashing characters (Piston Hondo and Don Flamenco) and depiction of racist caricatures (Two of the fictional characters, Doc Louis and Bald Bull, and one of the real life Mike Tyson).

I do encourage you to view this if you can handle such material, as I believe recognizing and acknowledging the racist past of the Punch Out game series is important (as it is in any media with problematic elements), however I understand if you cannot due to triggers or otherwise.

Here are the whitewashing Chibis I mentioned ( with direct color comparisons to the Famicom sprites)

Here are the racist caricatures of Bald Bull and Doc Louis.

Which, I feel I must add, Bald Bull would consistently be depicted with the racist caricaturized lips in both games and advertisments up until Punch Out!! Wii (but alas I cannot provide examples due to Tumblr's photo limit)

And lastly, the racist caricature depiction of the real life Mike Tyson

Now let me say, my intentions in making this post isn't to say that you can't be a fan of Punch Out; in fact, I still consider myself a fan of the series even after seeing this.

I just think it's important that we, as a fandom, recognize Punch Out's racist past instead of ignoring it. Especially since such depictions have caused harm to real people.

The series has come far, especially thanks to the Wii's strive to characterize the boxers past their stereotype-based personalities and even let their characters speak with their native tongue. But the history of the game series still happened and it's best we don't forget that.
