lol what even

You either haven’t read the article, which explains that the accent is not the racist part, or you have and are making a bad-faith argument to misconstrue the author. Either way, do better.

Honestly this kind of by-numbers self-consciousness of I Am Setsuna is why I stopped playing about an hour in.

Don’t mean to be that guy, but where did you get the “Burst of Laughter” translation from?

I don’t disagree that it’s less unsavoury than fetishising young girls - I’ll take most anything over that awful trend - but at the same time, I’m experienced enough in Japanese media creating an ‘older sistser’/’experienced and competent woman’ character only (or perhaps explicitly) to break her down completely for…

Games, for many people, are about escapism - JRPGs in particular, for many western gamers. Have you at any point, in your crusade, thought about how much of an extremely unpleasant jolt it might be for a Black American playing this game, which is meant to transport them into another world, to see a reference to an…

“I disapprove of your Nazi views and your calls for ethnic cleansing, but I will defend to the death your right to share your Nazi views and calls for ethnic cleansing”

Japan’s obsession with using the word “otona” to constantly remind the user/buyer/whatever that it’s ok to indulge in random shit speaks a lot about insecurities about adulthood, growing up and infantilisation, tbh

FFX’s tight, coherent story completely blows XII’s convoluted confusion out of the water.

Hey, as someone who loves VII and X (and XII to a lesser degreee), but had no plans on getting XV, I’m really curious what you mean by this?

Forest Whitaker works in the Diner and I can’t unsee this

I never got the hate for Vaan. He wasn’t particularly interesting or well developed, but none of the characters in XII were.

i need this

No one is saying they shouldn’t be allowed to say this stuff. We’re saying their views are fucked up, and should be condemned.

The irony is that for all its advanced robotics, Japan still feels like it is technologically stuck in the past. CDs are still dominant over mp3s, casette tapes are still used for a lot of audio recordings. Fax is still widespread. ATMs have closing times, there is rarely online registration (for events, local…
