Talk:Suspicious Looking Tentacle

Reference to the weird ending in Bloodborne where you fight "Moon Presence" and get turned into a tentacle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y9Ih9EsPcY&t=4m50s

On the subject of the tooltip.
Is there any reason to doubt that the tooltip could be a reference to tentacle porn? I think that while it could also be about summoning bosses, that's no reason to deny that it could be a reference to a certain fetish. In fact, though I believe both could be true, personally I believe the hentai reference is the more likely one. It's not as if Terraria hasn't made this kind of immature reference before, and deleting it from the page simply because of the source material is silly and just as immature as, if not more than the reference itself. I'm up for keeping both interpretations on the page, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on the subject, since I'd like to keep this from being an edit war. Drsonic1 (talk) 07:49, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I've been doing this a lot lately, so I'm going to be blunt on this one. It's not being removed as a matter of taste, but because it's highly improbable. This item has a name that's highly similar to existing items, all of which share the same function of summoning a boss except for this one, which was ironically dropped by an enemy that previously had no such item. Given that information, if you see the phrase "I know what you're thinking" and the first thing to come to mind is "yeah, tentacle rape!" then it's saying a lot more about how you draw conclusions then about what the tooltip actually means.
 * If it's added without a source, it'll be removed. Gearzein (talk) 12:10, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * How is it improbable? It's not as if Re-Logic is above making references concerning... adult material. I don't see any of the other references on the wiki needing sources, so why is this different? Now, I'm not trying to argue that one interpretation is more likely than the other. I'm just trying to say they're both reasonable, and unless you have a solid reason why one isn't, I don't see anything keeping us from having both up. Drsonic1 (talk) 17:57, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I've given you a reason. They're not both reasonable claims- one is a correlation drawn based on existing data, which admittedly could be interpreted as speculation, while the other isn't backed up by anything else in the item's design or the game's content. Golden Shower and Master Bait are both literally (well, nearly) the word they're meant to be, so if you're right, there's no reason for them to play coy in this case and expect the player to make a reaching interpretation rather than just calling it "Hentai Tentacle" or something.
 * Other trivia on the wiki does require sources, and while they're handled when they're found, we're not omnipotent and things slip through the cracks sometimes. Finding evidence of errors on the wiki is not an invitation to introduce more. Gearzein (talk) 18:17, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
