... in much the same way that Everest is "kind of" a mountain.

Just gonna point out that "consort" doesn't necessarily refer to a spouse or partner, and actually means someone who is closely associated with someone else.
Royal titles like Queen/Prince Consort means that they're a queen/prince directly associated with the actual ruler.
If you have a close group of friends, that people always associate with being together, they are consorts to each other.
With FuwaMoco sharing their channel, and basically always doing things together, wether it's streaming, or meeting the other talents, consort is actually an apt word to use in this case.

Dude, no one today uses consort in a non-romantic context, and neither does anyone in The Lands Between.
Don't be the kind of guy who'd insist that a swastika painted on the wall of a synagogue is actually there to bring good luck.

And you think Miyazaki doesn't know what the audience would assume?

That depends. Is it facing right or left? Is it square- or diamond-shaped? Is it carved into stone or sprayed-on? Does it look as old as the building or is it recent?
That all changes what the sign means. But I guess you can't expect Twitter cops to know the difference.

I didn't make any statement about it's use in the game. I wouldn't even know, since I haven't played it. I was merely pointing out what the word actually means, since I've seen a lot of people think it's purely romantic in nature.
And consort is still used in purely platonic ways today, especially as a verb.

I have no idea if he even knows what the word means, how well his grasp of english is, or if wether or not he knows what specific words are used in the various translations.
Does anyone know what the title used for Radahn is in the japanese version? I assume that whatever the intention is it would be easy to glean from that.
