I will take absolutely no lectures about "divisiveness" from the people who gave us two-tier policing, racial hiring quotas and endless race-baiting.
Unlike you, we do not kneel.
Lots of people think the Online Safety Act only blocks truly disturbing content. That couldn't be further from the truth.
We put together an A to Z of some of the crazy things that have been age-gated under UK law.
UK-based VTuber and artist Mimi Yanagi was arrested on April 20 for her own drawings of anime-style characters.
These drawings were 100% fictional, made up by her, with no real people involved.
UK law still treats these kinds of drawings as illegal child pornography, police took all her computers and devices.
She has now been released on bail, but she is not allowed to post any “adult” content. She must also use an account name approved by the police.
The UK is lost, you can’t even draw now, they will put you in prison
Summing up the British approach to Iran here:
1) US asks to use British bases, we say no.
2) Tell everyone we weren't involved and hope they leave us alone.
3) oh dear, they didn't leave us alone. They're shooting missiles at us.
4) claim that the only way to stop this and protect British citizens is to destroy the missiles at source.
5) allow the Americans to use our bases to destroy the missiles at source.
6) refuse to help destroy the missiles at source, even though we just said destroying them at source is the only way to end the threat to British citizens.
7) tell everyone we're not involved and hope they'll leave us alone.
Localizers and defenders of them will try gaslighting you into thinking this is okay
This is a side by side comparison of what they've been doing to anime and gaming for years
Removing entire conversations
I read that schoolboys will be sent on courses to tackle 'misogyny'.
Schoolboys aren't the threat.
Importing countless young men from third world cultures that treat women like dirt is the threat.
Forcing this ridiculous guilt on decent young lads is truly despicable.
Localization teams have been given too much power at Square Enix. They should have absolutely no say in the creative process whatsoever, their only job should be faithfully translating the Japanese script to English.
A game created by Japanese developers *should* feel Japanese, because they offer a unique perspective on creativity that should never be erased. This is exactly the type of practice that Japan's new proposed guidelines for their media needs to prevent.
The idea that everything must become safely homogenized to appeal to as many people as possible is detrimental to creativity & has damaged so many great works. Let Japanese games retain their special flair; a very large part of what made them beloved in the first place.
