I worry that Square hasn't filed all of the edges off of Final Fantasy 7.
The Midgar in the old game was an unflinching representation of a real slum suffering real inequities.
I'm worried the new Midgar will be a family-safe Disney theme-park that just looks like a slum.

I bet Tifa won't even call people "retard" anymore.

Did Netflix really censor the gay out of Evangelion to appeal to "modern American audiences"?
Nothing good from the '90s is safe.
I guess we are just living through a very conservative, risk-averse decade.

Takarazuka, the all-female Japanese broadway-style troupe, is putting on a musical about Che Guevara this summer.
Takarazuka shows often focus on Japanese stories, but previous Western subjects of Takarazuka musicals include Lincoln, General MacArthur, Napoleon and JFK.

"Gaming Disorder" is trending in Japan because they talked about it on TV, but the reason why it's trending is because Japanese people are just laughing at this pie chart.
"10:00 - 18:00 work".
No Japanese have work hours like this. We have "Work Disorder".

Kotaku's Luke Plunkett falsely reported that Mordhau's developers created an option to "turn off" characters that aren't white.

No wonder Rich Stanton thinks that the gaming community have been silent about "Devotion".
Stanton has the gaming community blocked.
At least someone at Kotaku finally wrote a follow-up article, but it's just clickbait that is less informative than my tweets from months ago.

And yet I am still proud while all of the megacorps took theirs off at 11:59:59 on June 30th like they were forced to wear the pink bunny pajamas grandma made for them while grandma was visiting and she finally went home.

Kotaku's Chris Kohler plagiarized another person's Mario Maker level and promoted it as his own idea for blog traffic and internet clout.

They're making a new Akira anime that will follow the events of the manga.
I don't know how they'll live up to the original film, because there aren't many people left alive that can animate and paint backgrounds like that.

Foreigners yelling at Japanese artists in futility is good Twitter content.

In the 70s, Soviet censors tried to ban games like Pac-Man.
When Alexey Pajitnov invented Tetris, his overseers confiscated the money "for the nation".
Pajitnov wasn't rewarded for his work until the USSR collapsed.
Pajitnov now lives in America and is a millionaire.

This is the "gaming news website" that Kyle Orland is upset about because it has a submission policy that bans freelance writers from pushing their political beliefs.
Some kid with 300 followers.
The 25,788th most popular video game blog.
What a menace.
