It's like it's almost not the image itself that's offensive, it's the psychological association with it. But then again, Japan doesn't have the same history with black slavery we do in their cultural psyche, so it's probably not as much of a loaded image for them. Of course all the hardcore otaku would prolly rather play the panty game anyway ;) The weird thing about the blackface Megaman character, is that if we didn’t have a history with those type of images over here, I’d probably just assume that character was some kind of weird frog or something.
