No Racism

Description
tboi is over 11 years old. there's some bs in this game. delirium telefrags, unfun curses, half the pills do nothing, greed mode exists, and also
racism. this mod fixes one of those.
IF YOU DON'T THINK THERE IS RACISM: ok don't download the mod. crying in the comments just lets everyone know you're an easily offended Little CHUD.
but also like. c'mon. You're gonna look at costume_011_shoopdawhoop_black and tell me that's not blackface?
* Cupid's Arrow's hat barely had anything to do with the item name or effect. The hat was changed to a crappy fake halo, with a rope variant for Keeper.
The icon was also edited to have a heart, to fit the theme better.
theres an argument to be made that the stereotypical hat could be used to show something about isaac's upbringing, something he was exposed to during
evangelical thanksgiving morality plays, similar to the kid from movie Parasite, but nothing else in the game touches on that.
There's an alternate hat included in the files, designed by boppee.
* Shoop Da Whoop is now "KAMEHAME ..HUH?!", based on its hilarious Spanish name.
The shoot animation is kinda generic, based on frames from chocolate milk and brimstone. If you have [a specific popular mod that adds a meme animation] it uses that instead.
I'm not super happy with the "charged kamehameha" item icon, if you have an idea of something more fitting let me know.
* Everything related to Steven has had the mouth filled in, to look less like blackface.
* Dream catcher is now "dream journal". Thanks boppee!
* The "Evil Charm" had its name changed to Nazar. That's what it's called, and it's a charm against evil.
This is another one where I could see it being Isaac misinformed about other cultures.

"we fixed racism by removing the blacks". Incredibly based.

idk why people are so heated on this. literally who cares. if you think there is racism download this mod. if you do not think there is racism do not download this mod. you're not like some sort of "screeching ess jay double you" that wants to "prevent YOU from playing video games as a straight white man!!!" this is clearly all in good fun, as evidenced by the silly samson image

If you wanna call me a crying chud for disagreeing with this, that's fine. Steven isn't blackface or a racist stereotype. Shoop da Whoop isn't really racist, maybe the original meme could be considered so but in all cases I've seen it, it's not been used like that. The Cupid's Arrow was harmless, it was a stereotype but it wasn't an offensive or harmful one. What's wrong with the Dream Catcher? And no kidding Isaac's not really educated on other cultures, he's 5! Kids see the world in simple terms.

...I do appreciate that this is here, though. Thank you for making this.

...I also won't use this mod because I have another mods that are probably incompatible with it. I have a resprite that makes cupid's arrow costume a giant arrow through the head and it looks funny and that probably has incompatibility with this probably.

I don't really interpret Steven with any racism, but Reworked Foes and The Future really help remove the worry that it could be interpreted that way. Also this makes Steven's mouth look constantly agape, too wide for the expression it's supposed to convey, so...

And I like Dream Catchers. I like overlapping designs like that, and I also have a bunch of mods that make the thing appear when I have that item to serve as a bunch of reminders, so if it changes any sprites, this is probably not gonna work with me.

Although I really appreciate the renaming of the Evil Charm to Nazar, it's probably the best addition for this.

I want to use this mod, but won't, because the original design actually has a funny punchline with the Fuzzy Pickle item in Fiend Folio and would make no sense if I remove that original context.

Maybe one day, but not today.
