Very well reasoned and exactly how I tool it for both tweets, and yet somehow too nuanced for some who just want to hatw on Kojima. 

Sometimes I think the internet just likes being salty for the sake of being salty.

I say a big fat bye to anyone that has never took the time to learn Japaneses and simply doesn’t understand how difficult it is to translate things to english while still keeping it’s meaning in a 120 character tweet. Smh people need to grow up and stop complaining about every little thing in this world geeze.

This is a comment that shows understanding of the fundamental differences between eastern and western languages.

As a non-native English speaker myself, that learned this ultimate Lingua Franca because its importance in both job-related things and gaming, I’m curious on why it seems to be so uncommon with, for example, Kojima, or Miyamoto.

Apparently the director simply likes drawing spiky-haired dudes [source], and it’s not intentional that they look like Kamina. The blue-hair IMO is more of a thematic decision in the context of this film.

Honestly I think this is just internet people being overly salty and sensitive, as usual.

As a response to Konami taking his name off the marketing materials. I thought it was a splendid, albeit petty, final middle finger to Konami.

MGSV said it at the start of every mission.  So around 50 times.

Didnt all the MGS games say "A Hideo Kojima game" or a variation of it in their opening credits? People have been commenting about that poster over the weekend, but it really seems like par for the course.

What’s fun is that other non-native English speakers might of course also read the English tweets and are not triggered as opposed to native speakers, since they are missing the same key points about certain words that he or his staff did.

Once again, a soccer story that ends with no scoring.

Greedfall is not making a purposeful commentary about the difficult nature of social change in the face of concentrated power structures. It’s not. I can’t stress that enough. It simply isn’t. It. Is. Not. Doing. That.

Employers generally do not require a conviction to fire you over an accusation of wrongdoing. The aims of the criminal justice system, the civil justice system, and an employer deciding whether to continue employing someone, are all different things and ought not be conflated. 

The precedent the NFL punishes players for things they haven’t been convicted of was set a long time ago. That was Goddell’s first order of business when he became commissioner. I’m not saying it’s right, just that it’s a settled question. If the players don’t like it, they need to negotiate better protections into…

And yet, if the defense begins to hinge on the gold-digging nature of the accuser, somehow I don’t think there’s going to be anybody complaining that the game broadcast has no place for that kind of talk.

The problem is that whenever there’s a civil suit (it is to award damages in the form of money) where a woman like Taylor suing a very rich man, the insinuation is that she lied to do so. It doesn’t matter if the outcome is that money is handed over - it’s that her story doesn’t even matter, that she is just another…

And this is distinct from the criminal courts how? In criminal cases, you get a months long protracted negotiation between one set of relatively poorly paid, but life-and-death-in-their-hands powerful lawyers, and one set of well-paid lawyers, discussing what plea he’ll take.

This is wrong in two ways. There’s no “instead of” because you can do either or both. It’s also wrong because civil courts ARE part of the justice system. Indeed, private claims are the most common way people seek redress when they are wronged by another person.

Yes, disputes are usually resolved before people reach a…

I don’t think this article is arguing one way or the other. The takeaway that I had is the entire discussion around this matter is seen almost exclusively through the male gaze, which shapes the discussion and decisions that follow.
