Quit being intolerant of other cultures.

Do you think we should tell other countries and cultures what they can and cannot do?

Living in San Francisco makes you an authority on what's homophobic?

Pretty much. This is all being blown out of proportion because it gets Gawker a lot of ad revenue; it's "linkbait" of the highest caliber.

"OK, so there are some issues with the character design in Dragon's Crown. Jason has written about this, people are divided about it, and many in both camps have very valid reasons for their respective cases."

I mostly like how his work gave us this super-funny anime I'm enjoying every week!!

That has to be one of the most biased articles I've ever seen. It completely skips over Jason's unprofessional and uninformed targeting of an excellent veteran artist in the industry only to paint George Kamitami as an immature homophobe. It's so sad to see this blatant misuses of gaming news platforms to prove…

I find it amusing that he shut down comments after almost the entire majority disagreed with him. Childish, just as his rebuttal is.

Even better. All of the women in my family have curves. Some are businesswomen, others are doctors, most of them have graduated from universities. So I do have a reason to be sick of this neverending hatred (usually done by skinny, pencil-thin lip, armchair feminist-wannabes) towards curvy women that does nothing but…

I like the part where he says why can't we have a mature discussion and then closes the comment section, because he kept calling people retarded! :D

What great article? All I read was a I'm joining the bash George Kamitami train and I'm also bringing the please think of the children! trope too! rant.

Eh, to each their own. The only boring Vanillaware game I've played was Grand Knights History.

I feel so blessed to not have so many emotional issues that I can just enjoy his wonderful art unhindered by irrational emotions.

Thank goodness I'm not the only one that picked up on the fact this isn't Jason's culture to criticise.

That is true. It is quite impressive how Japanese gaming culture is far ahead in genre equality than in US. There we don't see reports of women being shunned in companies. No, we see many women in developing, art direction and even general direction in games. And even among those women, their female characters usually…

Ha! Good one!

Ok, that's fine if that's the type of thought Kamitani's reply invoked from you. Though again, my opinion will differ in assuming that he was attempting to seriously insult Jason with a (literally) comical joke, that Kamitani drew himself nonetheless.

No, I disagree. I think implying that Kamitani is a homophobe is too much. Even gays make gay jokes, so now they're all homophobes? And he never insinuated that it was an insult or a "bad" thing. Your statement holds no water.

If you think it's an insult to imply that someone is a homosexual, you might be a homophobe.

He was making a joke. Being offended by everything isn't a moral highground.
