Persona is one of many Japanese series that have attracted a subset of Western "fans" that don't actually seem to like anything about it beyond a surface level.

They don't care about faithful translations, they want censorship that suits their fragile sensibilities, & are somehow under the delusion that they actually love Japanese media while having no respect for the people & culture that create it.

Japanese creators need to realize caring about "global appeal" is a mistake & simply create as they see fit without caving to this type of nonsense.

Japanese media is appealing in part due to its differences, not in spite of them.

Dude from work said he hated Fire Force because of the "sexualization of women" present in it.

Same dude harassed a guy at work, as in, ripped his shirt off to show everyone "how hot" the guy was.

These are the people who want to censor Anime and games.

These are the same people that ruined gaming btw

I’ve been telling people this for years.
GRRM pissed off millions of customers but he don’t give a shit. He got his bag. But his legacy is being such an epic bum ass bum that he crippled an entire genre, ruined consumer sentiment, and killed off an entire generation of epic fantasy authors.

Romantasy and LitRPG grew as a direct result of filling the smoking crater George left in the industry. New writers could no longer get deals to write epic fantasy unless the entire series was in the bag, and nobody can afford to gamble that much time to write that many books they may never sell.

Publishers no longer took chances on new series because customers had got burned by lazy shirkers like George and Pat. Agents wouldn’t represent new epic fantasy unless the whole thing was done. It hurt Indy because dudes had to convince customers that they weren’t bums too. Except when book one makes $50 total, because customers said Im not starting a new series until it’s done! they sure as shit ain’t writing book two. So it’s a self fulfilling prophesy of suck.

In the comments Dunning-Krugerands are saying this isn’t true. Look at guys like Brandon Sanderson. Wrong. Guys like him, or me, who already had established names, reputations, and fan bases were fine. We had enough customers who trusted us we could still do new things and people would come along to make it economically viable.

For example, the only reason my epic fantasy series got picked up is because I was already successful and could guarantee a viable level of sales off my existing fans. Newbs don’t have that. And over the ten years it took for me to write the six books to finish it, the entire time I heard from potential customers, nope, not gonna start a new series that might not finish because of George.

I am fine during this because I’m still gonna make a couple hundred grand off each of those just off my existing fans. Newbs make two bucks an hour, say to hell with being a writer I’m going back to my day job, and you all missed out on the next great author and his absolutely brilliant series, because you were too mad at billionaire George shoving twinkies in his mouth instead of writing.

Nope. Guys like me and Brandon are fine. George’s profound laziness screwed over the new guys. Customers and the industry quit taking chances on new guys. We will never know how many excellent fantasy series we missed out on, robbed by George’s laziness burning so many customers.

Some writers gave up, but others moved into different genres. Which is good. But it sure does suck if epic fantasy is your jam. LitRPG is close but different enough it blew up during this time frame because that’s where the talented went.

Being such a pretentious, bloviating bum that you damage an entire industry and strangle a generation of aspiring artists is quite the legacy.

Kal (who is a good writer btw, check out his books) asks what can we do about this? For me personally I’m just gonna continue mocking George’s work ethic in the hopes more normies realize what an outlier he is, and how they should expand their horizons to read other authors who aren’t stuck up, know it all, dickheads.

And before anybody starts barking at me that I’m such a hypocrite because I’ve not finished all my series, sorry I’ve only finished three of eight so far, and have only written THIRTY books since George’s last one, the next MHI comes out in December, and the last two books are next year, and I’m not planning on retiring anytime soon (if ever).

@Scratch_Point_Z Chiaki J. Konaka potentially the most based arch-patriot of Japan warned people years ago using a Digimon stageplay. They attacked him for it.

Everyone who attacked him and now sees the issue, owes him an apology.

[Scratch Point @Scratch_Point_Z]

Japanese creators must push back against the sanitization of anime & video games, whether it's due to localization to meet "global standards" or Japanese society "changing with the times," it amounts to nothing more than limiting imagination by treating fiction & reality as one. It is incompatible with creativity itself.

[GrimDarkSurvivor @GDSIncoming]

@Smolassus Plus why would have to like the dude just to be a decent human being towards him and see that his haters are the real ones who are in the wrong here and all I had to do was watch everything play out and his haters turned out to be the only ones who are horrible here.

[Lucas Evan Fryman @LucasFryman]

I mean, if it’s your own character, sure. Why not? But if it’s a character made by someone else with a longstanding history before you took them on, then making a change like that feels risky at best, and beligerant at worst. Like, I’m a Christian, but if I were to write someone who’s an atheist or something like Colossus, I’m not going to have them start preaching gospel out of nowhere, because a) that would feel super weird character-wise and b) it would look super disrespectful to the creator of that character and other creatives that have worked on them. In a world/space where people are constantly talking about “character permissions” and other boundaries, you’d think this would be more understood, or that people would have the moral integrity to apply this to everyone/every character, even if they are of different persuasions and creeds.

[KID INSANITY @lucas_legacy]

Neither Tim Drake or Ice Man were established as gay for years until they were retconned in modern storylines by current writers.Because these characters were established as straight until a retcon happened,I think retconning characters who start out gay as straight is fair game.
