Actually, plenty of Japanese people take issue with what is being displayed and treat those who like perving over such things as degenerates. You just don’t read a lot of it in western media because that story isn’t interesting enough but any real look at their culture and you’ll see they can be even less tolerant in…

OK firstly, you assume too much about me and my own background there.

I notice her breast size has also taken a few steps upward. When will they ever learn....

A high majority of the Japanese population is still very xenophobic and some even see all characters in pop culture as Japanese, regardless of skin or hair colour. Even western looking pop idols that identify as “half-Japanese” are more accepted than those who do not.

I totally agree. I liked the fact that she looked more “British”. Now she has the same generic cutesy face that almost every other Japanese female character has. For shame.

I miss the days when game developers created a game the way they intend to and not cater to whiny a holes

Ya, her being caucasian, blonde and having blue eyes never seemed to bother anyone. Make her look older than 14 and -boo!- outrage about her non-japanese friendly looks.

This change represents a lot of what is wrong with the male gaming audience in Japan today.

I go to college in Cleveland where an innocent twelve year old boy was killed in cold blood by an officer today for daring to carry a BB gun. I'm crying as I type this. I'm so angry. I'm so angry and yet powerless and it's killing me.

Is this a surprise? We all know it's acceptable for white people to lynch black people since 2000's America decided that 1945 was a good year for race relations.

I can't handle this. Currently screaming into my pillow.

"Mike Brown deserved to be murdered in cold blood. Black eyewitnesses and media outlets can't be trusted, but white cops and the system that protects them deserve ALL your trust."- Bob McCulloch

(I might be paraphrasing)

Awesome. I'm glad you brought up that specific stat, because it's a great demonstration of the racism inherent in the way people present and misrepresent that kind of data. Cutting to the chase: the problem is isolating blackness and ignoring the root cause, poverty. Black people are disproportionately poor. Poor…

I went on Fark yesterday and saw a few comments about this. Things like "Too bad I will get banned for saying what I want" and "Oh, can't comment on this because my civil rights are being stomped on". I find it extremely telling of people when the only comment they can add to a story is a misogynistic one. If that…

"The first step to fighting racism is to quit accepting that it means anything."

Really Texas? All that money you save on state income taxes and you couldn't spend $2.50?
