Then the translation team is racist for associating outright calling "dark types" evil.

It's not because of "afraid of the dark," dark type has nothing to do with actual "darkness" as in "the absence of light." It's the asshole type, the "evil" type, the type that plays- wait for it- mind games.

That's why a type that relies so heavily on the mind can be weak to them.

You realize that nearly all of the pokedex entries for Dark Types contain something vicious or horrifying, right? It kind of reinforces it's "evil" name. As for psychic types being weak to them, well, gee, it's kind of hard to focus while you're terrified. (Or just see >>22301178 )

Also, fighting type = hero type and is strong against the evil (Dark) type (Gee, might have something to do with, I don't know, facing your fears? Bravery?)

Are you okay with Pokemon snakes or do you not like those too?

I really don't like them either. Serperior objectively looks the best out of all the Gen 5 starters, but it's a fucking snake and I want to burn it with fire.

Sometimes I even want to use Onyx/Steelix, but then I remember they're also "snakes" and that's enough to put me off too.

I have the same thing with most birds, can't look at a picture/video of any type of big/long necked bird without freaking out, got chase by a goose when I was 5 and it freaked me out for life.

It's so bad that once when I was walking home, I was walking over a little hill and on the other side was a tiny group of geese, and noped out of there and went the long way, crying cause I was so scared.

I'm a wuss.

At least you don't have homophobia. Sometimes I wish I would stop coming to /vp/, but I just can't.

I don't get the issue, it makes perfect sense.

I've hated spiders ever since learning what their face...parts looked like, but Ariados and Galvantula don't bother me.
