Japanese games are after all known for their wide range of extremes. Only Japanese game I am aware of which got targeted by Sarkeesian and others was Bayonetta (1 and 2), for being 'sexist', even though the character is created by a female designer.<br /><br />So yeah, don't get too bothered by not knowing much about GamerGate. Gods willing it will be all over with soon anyway :)Maya Poschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01747916275364501887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851748514318788614.post-7108748573821685762015-11-08T02:53:08.986+01:002015-11-08T02:53:08.986+01:00Reading their Wikipedia bios more carefully, I thi...Reading their Wikipedia bios more carefully, I think I know why you know them and not me: you're a gamer (and are in the industry), and I'm not. I guess people who are in the English world and are gamers know who they are.<br /><br />To be honest, I don't even know the different sides of "GamerGate". All I know is it was a popular search keyword for a while.<br /><br />My level of gaming is limited to "casual gaming", meaning that I'll download a game on my smartphone to play only on the train for 5 minutes a weeks tops (if that), and it will be the very first thing to delete when my home screen gets cluttered.井上エイドhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700479276928374081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851748514318788614.post-57432474711470665052015-11-08T02:36:04.805+01:002015-11-08T02:36:04.805+01:00I had to Google both of these names to learn who t...I had to Google both of these names to learn who they are.<br /><br />Makes me glad I live in Japan. I don't know who Kim Kardashian (now do most other Japanese) is either.<br /><br />I'm sure they hate people like me. Oh well.井上エイドhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700479276928374081noreply@blogger.com
