@kizu_skip The majority of discussion hasn’t been about Japanese or otaku culture. It’s specifically about piracy and game preservation. Obviously, people being racist over it are taking it too far, but having a side on this issue and criticising the other side isn’t that problematic.

@ticklefoids @kizu_skip “Anything I don’t like is trans people’s fault”

[Ben Twomey @Bencraft101]

@CodesZ_3 @el_nuru_luin @kizu_skip Very clever, countering a valid argument with undisguised racism

@type94shiranuii @superange128 @tropeguy Far weirder to tell someone to get cancer than to advertise a website

@Hakuoro1912 @aloneprayer1 @superange128 @tropeguy He started the website months ago

[Ben Twomey @Bencraft101]

@k2m2_01 @kizu_skip It started before the VNDB founder died. This is misinformation.

@Midnight_503 @Genki_JPN Who’s everyone? They’re still making games and people are still buying them. Not to mention there have been seasons and movies in recent years.

@susnugsandtoes @64WLKER Wow it must be so hard for homophobic artists to be discriminated against like this, what an oppressed minority

[Ben Twomey @Bencraft101]

@64WLKER Telling people you’re homophobic doesn’t excuse homophobia, actually

[Ben Twomey @Bencraft101]

@Genki_JPN Is there anywhere where this isn’t normal?

[Ben Twomey @Bencraft101]

@mc_meiler @atcunnyceo If your beliefs are the hatred and rejection of others, those beliefs don’t deserve to be respected

[Ben Twomey @Bencraft101]

@atcunnyceo >Be homophobic
>Get criticised for being homophobic

You’re not entitled to be loved and accepted by the people you hate. Tolerance is a 2-way street.

@PytaAbby @JHAP_or_boi @makinafcker69 @CreativeBod1 What’s sexualised here?

[Ben Twomey @Bencraft101]

@HypotheticMyth @makinafcker69 Almost like the internet is made up of different people who have different opinions

@TheRealKitty019 @Anchovy_Pizza They don’t literally think she’s trans, they’re pointing out the irony of using her to spread transphobic bullshit

Please stop being disingenuous and actually engage with what’s being said

[Ben Twomey @Bencraft101]

@THERI0NdotAI @Anchovy_Pizza They don’t literally think she’s trans, they’re pointing out the irony of using her to spread transphobic bullshit

@Nikuw2137 @tieriru @figamin Try going outside and asking people on the street if they’ve heard of Touhou. See how many people say yes.

[Ben Twomey @Bencraft101]

@JxC_cookie @shotadurin_ Well yeah, canon age means nothing. I don’t care if the character you’re attracted to is 2000, she is very clear drawn to look like a 5 year old.

[Ben Twomey @Bencraft101]

@EternalArise @shotadurin_ Please try asking people in real life if they think it’s weird and unhealthy to be attracted to drawings of children. 99% of them are going to say yes.

YOU are very much in the minority here.

[Ben Twomey @Bencraft101]

@Jade_Geist @figamin And how are people supposed to do that when those spaces are gatekept for no reason lmao
