Gamers are so fucking embarrassing man… These people will harass a voice actor, because they don’t like that the character the person plays killed a beloved character.

I wish the biggest problem in my life was how good a video game is. If you don’t like the game, leave a bad review, warn others in your circle… but don’t go harassing people that worked on it.

A big part of the problem is that social media platforms encourage and amplify hateful content.
People are literally profiting from their hate and harassment of game developers (and have the hubris to complain about ‘woke grifters’) but platforms like YouTube just throw up their hands and pretend it’s nothing to do with them.

Learning Yasuke was based on a real person did little to assuage critics. Asian men in particular argued Schmidt-Hori was trying to erase them, even though her role involved researching historical customs and reviewing scripts, not creating characters.
If you are this stupid, maybe you in particular should be erased?

“Asian” They were all right-wing American, guaranteed.

My dude… Not only can Asians be racist, they are some of the most racist people around. Go to China and listen to them talk about other races. They make Alabama seem like a pinnacle of equality and tolerance.

If you actually read the article, you’d see your assumption is wrong.
Anik Talukder, a 28-year-old south Asian man living in the United Kingdom, said he apologized at least 10 times to Schmidt-Hori after accepting her Zoom invitation to discuss his Reddit post about her.

It’s crazy that racists just have an axe to grind. If a game is too “woke” just shut up and let us have our fun. No one is making you play it. Kudos for the professor’s self-confidence. I hope she is safe from crazy people on the web.

Exactly. And empathy is not a weakness, it’s a strength. Blindly hating things is weakness and ignorance.

I don’t understand people like that. If you don’t like some piece of entertainment, don’t consume it, leave a bad review, and move on

I honestly wish i had the option to offer a facecall to whoever is toxic to me online. Its good to remind People, that there are realisiert humans behind the User names.
