    I don't understand. A Japanese woman is not DEI enough to play the voice of a Japanese woman because of Abolish the Police™?

    I'm not going to try to comprehend this one. Death to g*mers.

      The person hired for the role, Erika Ishii, is non-binary and leftist. They've called for the abolition of police and overall seem like an awesome person.

      G*mers have become their own worst fear, they're now a caricature of what they claimed about 2012 era Tumblr liberals. They constantly complain about hiring decisions at companies and demand that video games cater to their own narrow interests

        Very excited for Ghost of Yotei. I really want to see how they treat and present Ainu people at this moment in history very early in the colonization of Ainu Moshiri/Hokkaido and having a woke dei nb acab ba gives me hope they'll do a good job.

        Erika was just doing a fundraiser for Kamala, definitely not a leftist. I'm a fan of the content a lot of the people in that scene make but most of them are radlibs at best.

        I think it's even dumber than this, somehow.

        It's literally just these freaks find Karen Fukuhara more attractive.

    I don't know this person or this game, but the role of Atsu in Ghost of Yotei should have been given to Hilary Clinton. Happy birthday to that future voice actor of Atsu in Ghost of Yotei.

    I'm still not over them putting an "Akira Kurosawa Mode" in the original and it is literally just a black and white filter. It is difficult to think of such a lazy insult to even the idea of cinema. At least if a game had an "Alfred Hitchcock Mode" that just tilted the camera frequently, it would be funny.

    it is very funny how gamers were saying that this was the good samurai game because ubisoft went woke and now they are strongly backing away from that because this is also woke...

    wojak-nooo I guess they too support abolishing the police. Do you?

    gigachad-hd Yeah, they sound based as hell.

    Although in reality the devs are almost certainly not ”activists” and they don't care, but at least the chuds are letting me know some people involved are cool.
