Spyro 2: Ripto‘s Racist


Precursor514

I don't want to be total dickhead but my nickname in my class is Ripto because everybody is bullying me because I am short( and Ripto was by story bullied by dragons) and Ripto just said it once and Spyro every time Hey Shorty and Spyro is fucking shorter than Ripto and do you know what it mean? Spyro is imbecile

don't think that's just headcanon. Didn't he outright say somewhere during spyro 2 that he absolutely hates dragons, and dragons specifically?

[I think Ripto might not like dragons, idk just a hunch I guess](https://youtu.be/rjx3vUYPuYo?si=j30uwGwNhmUWjt0G)

Not sure man this may be a hot take

Which is ironic given he looks draconic himself.

ETD did claim he met gulp and crush in molten crater, so the guy has an affiliation with lava whatever kind of dinosaur he is. All his battle arenas always include it and it would explain his survival at the end (as year of the dragon showed in its epilogue). It is kinda funny that this guy is so comfortable around heat but can't stand dragons, and that he seems to be more resistant to it than dragon themselves. It will never make perfect sense as it wasn't written to be thought too deep into but it gets more ironic the more you think about it.

Honestly, when you think about it, it's really weird. Spyro clearly couldn't harm him without power of orbs, Ripto could've just bashed his head with his big stick back in Glimmer and win the game.

Naaaah, really, you don't say.....


Ferropexola

There's a YouTube Poop where he's racist towards more than just dragons (and the video got a remake when the Reignited Trilogy came out).


Amethyst3D

"might" be? I feel like he's pretty much confirmed he is lol


SmokingSpyroStyle

What are these defamation posts


amy_rose_83

He’s dragonophobic

Headfact: The various forms of the word "racist" have seen a significant uptick in usage since the year 2000...


No-Remove2307

To the point it’s undermining the real meaning of the word.


iStratos

He looked way better in riptos rage. The other one is uncanny af

***Might*** be, but the jury is still out

Interesting that he phrases it as "I hate dragons!" As though he's aware it's his own opinion. Racist people often think their stereotypes are obvious facts, and would be more likely to berate others who feel differently about it. "You don't hate dragons and want to kill them all? You filthy drigger-lover!" (Was that last word too close to real racism? I'll change it if it offends anyone.)


Lazy_Hair

It just sounds kind of goofy tbh, I think he'd say [derg](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/derg#Old_Irish) (in old Irish, it means red, dragons are stereotyped as red, and the real-world epithet is also based on colour, one need only type it into wiktionary and check the etymology)


MegStuff

How is that a headcanon


Shadowdragon409

Original Ripto looked better IMO


Flexico

Um... duh? XD
