While some of their language has changed, the sentiment of this latest aggressive movement is just as distressing. It’s time for the games industry to stand up to it

      never targeted by harassment

      Sweet Baby Inc found themselves at the center of attention at kiwi farms, a website known for harassment and driving people to suicide. I find it very far fetched to believe they received no harassment.

      Ubisoft being in bed with SBI is also not a lie

      Unless I totally missed it, I see nowhere in this article that said they didn’t work with SBI?

      Everything I have seen points to Yasuke being a samurai. Lots of reading on it sourced in this reddit comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/1css0ye/comment/l4bghbu/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

      How is the game disrespectful to Japanese people?

      There are so many outlandish claims in this comment with basically nothing backing it up

        This 100%

        I deleted my reply because it was too much but the original ign article on wukong is very tame. I can’t see why they’re so worked up to harass the author off the internet.

        Some days beehaw not having downvotes is a real issue.

      Never did anyone in this steam group go out of their way to harass anyone involved with the company.

      Never was it “a bunch of sexist and racist white people being upset about diversity in videogames”.

      Very bold statements in favour of people that I know myself are extremely “anti diversity / anti woke”. Do you even know who the creator of the Steam group is? Guy is known for being the scum of the Brazilian WoW community.

      Defensive much? I find myself being very suspicious of this opposing narrative. I’m not up to speed on this these days, but I remember Keza MacDonald being generally outstanding in her betrayal portrayal of events in video games culture.
