message: First line:
"Captain Olimar (Japanese: ã‚­ãƒ£ãƒ—ãƒ†ãƒ³ãƒ»ã‚ªãƒªãƒžãƒ¼ Hepburn: Kyaputen OrimÄ) is a fictional character from Nintendo's Pikmin video game"
Did somebody mess with the Japanese Katakana (or Hirogana, you know what I'm talking about), or is it just my computer? I don't want to change it because if it's just me, then I might mess it up somehow by trying to change it.

thread_title:  SPAM? (Pun intended) 

message: It is stated, and quoted, that Captain Olimar is an anti-hero because "in spite of his good nature he enslaves a race of aliens and forces them to work". However, this is incorrect. After his initial contact, which consisted of little more than shock and some staring, Olimar starts to walk away, and the Pikmin follows him. If he truly enslaved them, then he would have forced them to bend to his will. 
But since the Pikmin chose to follow him, they are more like friendly allies or even co-workers than slaves. In Pikmin 2, he even states in one of his journal entries that "When I crash-landed on this planet, they helped me locate my missing ship parts. In my darkest hour, the Pikmin were there for me." Note that he says "they helped me", not "I used them". Olimar has also said that he loves the Pikmin and doesn't know what he'd do without them. Again, note that he did not merely say that "the Pikmin are useful".
Personally, it doesn't seem like Olimar enslaved a race of aliens and forced them to work. I feel that there is substantial evidence to the contrary, beyond the fact of his good nature. As such, I believe that the statement about Captain Olimar being an anti-hero should be removed. That or a much better reason should be given as to why he is labeled as one.

replies: text: The statement is an opinion by GameDaily, not a factual description of the character. It shouldn't be removed simply because you disagree with it. Also, please don't use Wikipedia talk pages to discuss the article's subject. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 23:18, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
