Is there an economical intersection that causes these kinds of behaviors or something? I grew up in a seriously white trash neighborhood (I have been woken up by the sound of an exploding meth lab. Not even an exaggeration) and I have definitely seen no shortage of awful racist bullshit... but rule of thumb is if…

Dude, you’re literally commenting on an article written by a man about the reaction of a famous man to the situation.

Cool!  Now if Nintendo would just get with the program and enable Bluetooth earbud support so I could actually play games with the music on without having to have a whole bundle of cords specifically for their device.

This. This this this. People disparage mobile gaming but there’s truly excellent mobile games. THIS is the problem with mobile gaming and it would be REALLY bad to let the same problem affect other platforms.

If it was X-X5 they couldn’t have sold you collection 2, though.

Lo and behold, before I even found your comment, I had to wade through half a dozen saying (or dancing around) exactly that.  Because it couldn’t POSSIBLY be that she believes in mercy or anything.

Wells Fargo was founded in NYC and is Headquartered in San Fran.  You can blame swamp people and bath salts on us, but systemic racism didn't come from Florida.

That makes sense!  I'm just explaining the use of the terms as common parlance for these issues.  It's important we all understand what each other mean, I think!

I don’t worship corporations though, nor have I said anything to suggest that I do, nor is that normal term used by common people. I don’t accept specialized verbiage in a conversation because it inhibits communication by design, so I understood what you were getting at when you mentioned my ‘religious beliefs’ but…

Speaking as a trans woman, I’d have to work half as hard as any cis woman my size to get the same physical results. I think you can say “If they identify as a woman then they are a woman. Full Stop.” And still address that there’s a physical disparity that calls into question the way we divide sports between men and…

I think you’re meaning to use the word sex where you’re using the word Gender.  Gender and Gender Identity are, more or less, interchangeable.

I knew the context that headline was written in the moment I saw it and it STILL made my jaw hurt from tension.  Killing me with that stuff.

Are you a bot? Are you literally just generating buzzwords? Or are you actively trolling because I did not come to you with my opinions at all. YOU responded to my comment telling me your hands were clean, unlike mine, because you stole something instead of paying for it.

There's no we and that's not an actual saying.  Look, I don't go out of my way to tell pirates they're immoral, but I'm not going to sit here and get talked to by a thief like they have the moral high ground, especially not for a game series we have to FIGHT the stupid company just to get localized.

That’s a good point! They probably wouldn’t give him a show unless he fell in line with their views, but I’m also not knowledgeable enough about the interplay of Japanese politics and their media industry to assume that reflects on Sugiyama himself. I know the dude is almost certainly a war crimes denier and based on…

I didn’t insult you or say anything aggressive to you, so I don’t know why you’re making a personal attack on me.  That seems like it’s irrationally creating an argument instead of a reasonable discussion.

ultimately it’s the same soulless grind as any other gacha game.

Actually, I said the west to be vague more than homogenizing because I didn’t want to make assumptions about which countries have more or less network control over what media is shown.  I couldn’t rightly say the US because, depending on the network, we have HUGE issues with the network controlling what does or…

True, but I’m saying that with Japan’s media structure, the network has a massive amount of power.  He’s the host of a small show.  I guarantee you he doesn’t call the shots about who he does or doesn’t talk to.

1) How does him being a war crime denier prove he’s anti-LGBT? There’s no unilateral shitty opinion held by all garbage people. That’s just trying to divide the world into clean cut “Good guys” and “bad guys” groups and that doesn’t work.
