That’s a similar problem Koreans face so I can relate. There is a word that means “You are” so it’s said a lot but in Korea it’s pronounced “Nee-ga”. So some people can misunderstand it especially when it comes up in Korean songs.

Don’t think they’re suggesting that that is what the zombies are saying (or that they are Chinese), but that it is easy enough to hear something that you’re more familiar with, than what may actually be being ‘said’.

I hate them too. They banned me from their website for “complaining about coverage”. They literally had a rule in their community guidelines for it, which basically meant they could ban you if they decided they didn’t like your criticism. Fuck those guys.

Polygon is a detestable trash fire of a site that seems to derive pleasure from the most vapid, materialistic and insufferable aspects of digital culture. (“everyone should own 3 tvs in the same room...derp derp”)

Damn, and here I was gonna ask “which one is the shady one again?”.

I detest the mods at Polygon so anything that makes their lives a little more annoying is A Ok with me

In the UK, it’s easier to say what you like, so it’s harder for us to abide by the decision not to.

Yeah I don’t believe any of this hogwash nonsense that “oh they were all just sitting on it, covering it up”. More than likely it was probably the usual of people hearing something small and not thinking it worthy of releasing and a few maybe hearing something that related to friends in the industry and didn’t want to…

Oh, I’ve been trying for years. And I don’t want to distract from, only support those trying to get Justice for their own suffering now by backing them up with sharing how my own experiences that match their own. To say I know they’re brave and likely telling the truth, because I’ve been there too.

It’s usually in the Contract you sign that you’ll go the Arbitration route first; I had to do it when trying to corner Portalarium for supporting my stalkers. There’s two reasons for this.

Agree with all you say, especially about unionization; I’ve worked in the industry too, for E.A./Mythic/Broadsword, and whilst I didn’t see any sexism, there was plenty of bullying and generalised nastines... but the US is also a country where you can be fired for anything, and unemployed support is limited. Lawyers…

Your ^ post here needs more exposure. It in itself is an eye opener. Though some of the things you’ve experienced may be specific to your particular story, the majority of your comment rings true...unfortunately.

Oh, so that is where it gets complicated. If it’s first party they will be aware of and make changes. Similar to how Activision did when they bought Blizzard, obviously it wasn’t enough but it somehow was even worse before.
When it’s a major player it will depend on what the accusations are. Mainly, they don’t want to…

Ok, here’s an essay on what getting the media to deal with these kinds of issues is like from the other side; Long story short, it’s a depressing nightmare.

I feel like there’s a Chinese propaganda story just waiting to happen amidst all this.

“The symbol dates back centuries and has auspicious connotations”

The anime would do the educating. I’m sure you remember in Samurai Champloo when the narrator would break into an episode to discuss something important to Japanese history. That could have been easily added on the first episode where the kanji made an appearance, discussing the distinction from the Nazi Swastika. 

Always sucks when they do this. It’s so regularly used on the other side of the globe. Wouldn’t it be better to teach people about it than continue to censor it out and perpetuate the ignorance?

Should educate people about it instead of removing it. Make it so people connect it to Buddhism first, and Hinduism, and more?(don’t know how many use it) before they get to nazis.

This could have been a teachable moment.
