I have played FF7 approx 35 times in the last 22 years of my life, I’m not playing FF7R expecting FF7, I’m playing FF7R for a BRAND NEW VISION of the game I played 22 years ago.

Non-Japanese fans of Japanese game: We are mad that a character from said Japanese game appears a slightly different shade of color in Japanese cartoon series based on same Japanese game!

Do you people really sit around and get all hot and bothered about any remotely demeaning social movement not portrayed to your liking in media, such as in Persona 5 in this case? Does it truly, deeply upset you? Seriously? Stop and think about it. Are you really that sensitive, self-certain, and arrogant to believe…

But you are still biologically male/female. You can’t change your chromosomes...

But here’s the thing. If a person finds a word offensive, apologize and stop using it. For 99.99% of the population, savage is a word with no baggage. We need to stop saying “you can’t say X because I can imagine a specific scenario in which a person might find X offensive under certain circumstances.”
We don’t need to…

trying to manufacture controversy where none exists

Keeping up with the “you can’t use that word” anymore treadmill is definitely exhausting. 

Man, I certainly appreciate that there are other perspectives out there than my own, but as someone who likes to think they’re incredibly sympathetic (empathetic when I can be), shit like this drives me absolutely nuts.

Yes whitesplain another country's media for us please. 

Shocking.

That is what I was thinking. “Destiny does something that could be cool in theory, but executes it poorly and makes it less interesting” is the summary of most of the articles I see about the game.

Well, isn’t that par for the course with this franchise by now?

Bingo. Also, cannot wait for the salt when the reward for this is underwhelming as hell (I’m guessing it’ll open up the quest for Bastion for the community, similar to how the world’s first clear of Last Wish started the Dreaming City curse/new strike)

This is one of the reasons Destiny is bad. Puzzles like this are designed to get people talking rather than playing. The vast majority of the people who play Destiny have absolutely no hope of contributing anything to this. Just the handful of savants who have the time and energy to devote to something like this. They…

The privilege is literally oooozing out of every word you just typed. Someone does not “fail” if they do not experience life exactly the same as you do. They are not a “failure” for not having a deep seeded knowledge on all global cultural backgrounds. That’s a far jump between video game cosmetics and your soapbox.

Why do so many people use the form of, “(counter point), (insult)“? Seems petty. You can make your point and leave it at that.

I will assume that at no point in your life have you heard someone say they were upset by something and gone “jeez, that’s a dumb thing to be upset about”. In which case, congratulations on being so very, very noble.

And protesting a cosmetic skin in a video game changes things for the better...HOW, exactly? “Awareness”? Okay. We’re aware. What else ya got? I haven’t heard anything yet about those in charge of such things in South Korea or elsewhere clamoring to change a dress code because people think a digital cosmetic reskin…

“because you’re privileged enough not to have to deal with the actual issues that the people who are made to wear these sorts of uniforms in real life have to deal with”

Nah not really, it’s the failing of people looking to a corporation to give videogame characters idealistic identities.
