    Jesus christ people in the comments here are pathetic. This clearly has nothing to do with racial slurs or otaku culture. It’s a play on the totally normal english word “tycoon” which just means “very rich businessman” and “mogul” which is a synonym for “magnate”. You can look these up, every half-decent dictionary has these words. They probably changed it because “coon” is a slur for black people and they didn’t want to cause any misunderstandings. If any of this offends you, please, please just step outside, touch some grass, take a deep breath, relax.

      You begin with “this clearly has nothing to do with racial slurs” and have near the end “they probably changed it because coon is a slur for black people”.

      This is a self contradictory, both statements can’t be true at the same time.

      I am not offended by anything here, I couldn’t care less about what they use as fun wordplay in there.

      Had a slow day and lots of free time at a train ride and just want to show that everything written can be misinterpreted and misunderstood. There is a bad meaning or derogatory slang for nearly every word out there.
