I mean if they aren’t haggling in public cryptocurrencies and are utilizing their own game currency which is nonvolatile and if the NFT items are interoperable in between their games I don’t see why people would object so vehemently towards this. Epic and Blizzard already have their own launcher/ecosystem with game…

The kind of punishment that people like this guy deserve is to give no attention to them. People can make a living off of infamy after all.

Good to know that the Japanese government back-burners the rights and opinions of both foreign AND domestic women. At least it’s consistent in its actions, I suppose.

literally 1% of the korean sims community: this is outrageous! how atrocious of ea to be favoring japanese culture and embracing its underlying, specious aspects!

I always say that if you watch a dubbed version of an original work, then you’re watching something that is not altogether the same thing as the original itself.

It rather seems to me that maybe the game’s a bit TOO brutal, and focusing too much on devastation and emptiness without anything really substantial remaining at the end or towards the end as the player keeps on playing takes itself away from the favor of mainstream and pitches itself as being more a dark, niche game…

It’s getting harder to expect Japan to capitulate on this particular issue because:

It’s weird that Uniqlo decided to go with this ad at this current climate. I mean, what with the 90-year old lady, not remembering about the past bit, the subtle difference in only the Korean subtitle... 

To be fair, if there was no announcement of a sort from the airport to urge the civilians to reduce the usage of electricity (for whatever reason), then I don’t see any reason why he would have to be criticized for making use of resources that’s freely available for everyone to use.

Certainly. There’s no excusing what the U.S. had done and is doing either and their actions in those wars are abhorrent to a similar degree as well.

I’m using the phrase loosely if you didn’t catch the tone and my use of explicit language there, buddy.

Then Japan should have openly and explicitly condemned the act and declared war on U.S. first instead of kamikazing the shit out of a technically neutral country. War’s war but there are still rules that govern how it’s played out, and it’s the reason why the bombing of Pearl Harbor by imperial Japan is considered a…

Not about to get involved with whataboutism logic there.

At least Japan had the balls to actually declare war on the US instead of just pretending they were at peace.

Probably me just getting old but it’s kinda daunting to see how most of the contemporary manga and anime art styles are converging into the same roundish, baby-faced art style.

perhaps it’s ‘making a faux pas of a person in a drag the punchline’ that comes across as insensitive and anachronistic. i mean if ninja himself was trans and/or had overt drag hobbies it’d maybe seem like he was poking fun at himself since he wouldn’t be too unfamiliar with such happenings.

It’s pretty obvious the “ulterior” motive for this guy’s actions is mainly monetary—more exclusivity = more customer base = more revenue.

Cultural atmosphere pertaining to LGBTQ is really strange in South Korea (and in Eastern Asia in general—China and Japan included), on one hand they underwent a phase of obsession with themes of ‘bromance’ in movies and dramas a few years back and isn’t too unfamiliar with the subject of homosexuality in itself, but…

Cool. I can hand in “sick leave” after this and not have to feel bad about lying now.
