Dragon Quest creator Yuji Hori is directly blaming American influence for both DQ3 Remake censorship and the change of Male/Female to Type 1/ Type 2

How do we combat this? We can’t let them influence game developers with their weird agenda
1) Don't buy shitty games
2) Tell other people about it that have better things to do than lurk on GAF
3) Create or support websites that inform about this stuff going on
4) Post reviews on platforms like Steam that discuss it
5) Put pressure on politicians, publisher and so on
...

The left took it away from us by using these bully tactics, we can take it back by feeding them their own medicine.

That especially makes me mad

I hope that the Anime and Japanese Gaming Companies that listen to these Blue Hair Crazies ends up losing lot of money so that it's gives them an example of what not to do when making a game/anime. This stuff has gotten so ridiculous
If there's one thing I've learned from these retards it's that there's always another group of people to ruin shit for us. Not that it's even just one group right now. You have social media slacktivists*, lolcalizers*, game journos*, payment processors, and even the platform holders themselves all trying out for my new favorite reality TV series "Who Wants to Be the Biggest Dickhead?"

*Varying degrees of overlap here.

they need to bring back region locks...
have the censored game with easy modes, accessibility, modern translation for US, and those of us who want the directors real vision can the JPN vers.
 

It felt suspicious that there would be such a negative tone for a product that’s yet to be released.

Not surprising. There's a very specific subset of people that are all too eager to buy into this disingenuous messaging.

Identity wars, culture wars and sowing division is a full time job for several bad actors.

In that case, I would really like to see an accurate translation from well intentioned people.

People already pointed out the mistranslation with that example they gave. Do they have any other examples or an accurate subtitling?

Yeah, I don't buy the notice. All that was listed was one mistranslation claim that was pointed out prior and they did not seem to mention any other. That one word does not change the core message at all nor negate Horii's words. People were directly linking the stream as a source and there was zero reason to take the VOD down for just that so it's likely Square pushing it.
 
The subtitles are not perfect but they are far more accurate than they are inaccurate. That said, it sounds like some discussions surrounding the video go beyond what was said in the video itself, which can lead to misunderstandings regarding who said what when there is a language barrier involved. Either the people involved wanted to distance themselves from those discussions or the criticism of compliance was predictably forced to comply.

That "clarification" really only adds further confusion, since the one word they specifically clarified really doesn't change anything. And why the heck is it in Japanese if it's meant for US audiences to read??

Sad to see Ranma-chan's nips go though. Those things got me through my
late-30s.

Oh for fuck sake...I just can't anymore. Starting to feel like this industry is beyond saving sometimes.

If you really gotta play something even though you know it wouldnt be beneficial to give these companies your money, you can also resort to only buying used copies or borrow from friends or videogame rent shops when on console. I think i dont gotta tell anyone about what you could do when not playing on console, but i leave that to your imagination:lollipop_baby_angel:

But of course how can I be so silly to forget that America is just a warmongering country with nothing good or important to offer to the world.

What an incredibly nearsighted and foolish statement.

You want to blame someone, blame the activists who are finding their ways into these various institutions and forcing this when they know for a fact that it is not selling, it hasn't sold with any og game thus far.

The only games that have seen success are sequels to successful games that they infest, but the problem there is then you end up poisoning the series itself, look at Star Wars.

We don't know how well Spider-Man 3 is going to sell or how well last of us three is going to sell because they got rid of a huge chunk of the audience of the first due to an overly progressive maybe it will do successfully we know the media will love it but then again they are filled to the brim with these activists.

These activists can't create on their own, as their creation is poison because they completely lack the understanding of what makes a relatable and good story.

They literally poison their own work, look at Goodbye Volcano High and dust born for example, each so filled with venomous idealism they don't even realize their own hypocrisy instead they find existing works and taint those all in the name of so-called sensitivity.

This isn't an America thing this is an activist thing just look to our good friends across the pond as they say and those stop oil chuckle fucks who are currently throwing crap on Priceless works of art, activism has no country it's just stupidity due to lack of actual adversity.
I'm not judging America, I'm judging the people.
Just like Europe, Europe is beautiful, the people are bunch of idiots.
