@johnholowach@EnesFreedom@chicagosky@WNBA@T_Cloud4 Why'd Shakespeare use AI to write his plays? Didn't he know people could just run it through an AI checker and tell, with 100% definitive proof, that Shakespeare used AI?
@wx3XCDYpZ2OyzFI However, regardless of whether or not Cygames or the horse owners endorse the localizers ideologically or politically, Cygames are holding others to a standard that they themselves do not fulfill.
@wx3XCDYpZ2OyzFI Realistically, Cygames most likely does not care about the politics of their localizers, as they're a Japanese company primarily focused on the Japanese market, as are the owners of the horses whose names are borrowed for their usage in Umamusume.
@wx3XCDYpZ2OyzFI Official localization, on the other hand, is official, and thus affects everyone that plays the official localized version. Thus, it could be argued that the company itself endorses the actions, as well as the political and ideological views, of the localizers.
@wx3XCDYpZ2OyzFI In the case of Umamusume, there is the issue of the official Cygames localizers changing dialogue for political and ideological reasons, such as removing mention of Christmas. This can be seen as criticizing Christianity, as Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ.
@wx3XCDYpZ2OyzFI It can be argued that portrayals of yuri (implied or otherwise), even if nothing sexual, could be considered as advocating for political views, as well as ideology.
@wx3XCDYpZ2OyzFI When did I say it had to be ero manga?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Umamusume content guidelines are not limited to just "sexual content"
"Works that advocate or criticize political views, religion, or ideology, or the use of derivative works for these purposes."
@wx3XCDYpZ2OyzFI Doujinshi = self-published works. That doesn't mean they're explicit.
Does that mean none of them were explicit? No. How many were? Uncertain. My guess? 10%, 15% at most.
@wx3XCDYpZ2OyzFI@usagi84133@LordFrz Apologies for the delay, I was losing in Cobalt.
Now, unless I'm misreading https://t.co/zbAw8yIOLX incorrectly, there were 804 Umamusume works in C102, 882 in C103, and 830 in C104.
Were they all explicit? No. Were a good portion of them explicit? Most likely.
@wx3XCDYpZ2OyzFI@usagi84133@LordFrz Hmm, I see.
Could you give your input concerning explicit content from Japanese artists involving Umamusume as far back as 2018?
@wx3XCDYpZ2OyzFI@usagi84133@LordFrz I'm not sure if you're aware, but the point of a company, including Cygames, is to make money; they have the fiduciary duty to do so.
By the way, tell me what you think about Summer Maruzensky's swimsuit pose.
@wx3XCDYpZ2OyzFI@usagi84133@LordFrz Irrelevant. Saying they don't allow things because "it might hurt people's feelings" doesn't make it a crime. As such, whether people choose to follow their REQUEST is up to them.
Speaking of which, Cygames seems to support the horses being LGBT, considering their translators.
@wx3XCDYpZ2OyzFI@usagi84133@LordFrz You know that's bullshit, I know that's bullshit, we all know that's bullshit.
Companies don't touch comiket because they know they'd damage their own fanbase doing so; there are a few companies that could, like Nintendo, but it would still be bad.
@wx3XCDYpZ2OyzFI@usagi84133@LordFrz Aren't doujins against ToS? Are you going to demand the shutdown of Comiket? Why does Comiket allow doujinshi to break the ToS of corporations? Don't they think it's pitiful and embarrassing to openly sell NSFW of copyrighted characters?
@LTaR69763ORDJqR@glen_calz@AyakaMods No, he's calling you a drone, not a bot. I understand Japanese people are notorious for failing English classes, but you can open up a search engine like Google and look up what people mean by "corporate drone"
