      Considering the voice actress and literal face of the game's history on social media and interviews and who she associates with. That's not going to happen! Also the history of the "all female*" dev team working on this game.
      *Some of the "women" are not actually real women
      This series is cooked! The voice actress has already been on a massive blocking spree the moment the game was revealed! She knows her own history and what people will find that will tie it all back to the rest of the dev team leading to the realization that they will definitely burn this series to the ground.

    That censorship with Dragon Quest has gone on for years. They censored the female warrior in the Gameboy remake. However I think DQ is a bit different than something like Baldurs Gate since it's supposed to be available for everyone even little kids. I remember growing up some religious people would call things like Pokemon the devil and I know forsure if they saw the old SNES remake artwork of the female warrior they would snap. They even removed crosses from old DQ games. Personally I can get over small things like that like it sucks, but the overall game is still there and still great. Now in more adult titles like Baulders Gate or Dead or Alive that censorship is unnecessary and dumb. I would still check out Dragon Quest 3 though because it's one of Toriyama's greatest work and DQ3 is an amazing game really all the DQs are. RIP Akira Toriyama!

      Bro, Russians fielded women and late-stage Germany also spewed out child soldiers, girls included. Saying its rewriting history cuz they showed women in the force during WW2 just shows ur ignorance of it. The only problem with BF5's case is the scope of who has them as they are a product of their circumstances. Besides women in the game are the least of its problems, the cosmetics are dogwater and clashes with the look of the game.

    Its basically like America vs Communist China. You can give China games as long as they follow the Governments policy. But thats very political. The west, the past decade has been shambolic for games especially japanese games. Theres an invisible political script of rules and laws of what the industry wants and dont want. Force the devs who make incredible games, to change it up to suit preferences. I think its sad for them because its like the japanese lots know itll upset die hard fans if they dont bend over and change it for the corporations and devs who make up the rules as they go along.

    52:37 THIS. precisely this. The fact that youtubers or blogger equivalents DO NOT have to adhere to a company bottom line outside of whatever THEIR OWN bottom line is...THAT is exactly why independent/alternative media is taking over everything right now. Even without knowing a single thing about any one given content creator or cc equivalent...you inherently go in knowing that the person in question is putting their reputation/credibility on the line every single time they comment/report on something. Which is why the earlier part about correcting yourself is so huge.
    For mainstream outlets, once you see the agenda out in the open, you can't UN see it. & it very much does paint a grim picture once you KNOW that someone's opinion is very much being colored by something OTHER than the base bare minimum requirements of simply doing their jobs. (I saw the Gaming Journos fries in the bag vid as well. So that last part was also in reference to that as well).

    Since you mentioned Mortal Kombat a few times in this video, I recently watched the dialogue intros and apparently Cyrax and Kuei Liang used to be in a relationship and Harumi knows because Kyei Liang talked about that with her a while back. That just made the story mode for scorpion even worse because there was no signs of that in the way he was treating Cyrax for most of the story. But anyways, all I see this is now this is some gender vending freak, fetish nonsense that Dominic wrote. I’ve been wanting him gone since 2015. I knew he would be a problem, especially with his views on Twitter.

    I DO NOT think Ghost of Yotei is gonna be better than Ghost of Tsushima. GoT feels like it was made by higher beings with magic. Every step you take in that world of GoT you feel amazed. The world of GoT feels very natural and alive. The narrative is easily of the best in gaming. And the combat is so good that I couldn't believe that making that kind of gameplay in that kind of open world game is even possible. With hiw things are going with GoY there is absolutely no way that its gonna be even close as good as GoT. But im happy to be proven wrong and I hope they Do prioritize Gameplay and narrative over their agenda. I will 100% buy it if its a good game but so far its not looking good.

    I'm pretty sure it's "yo-TAY," unless it's a German name or something. I have no earthly idea why people who are familiar with games and stuff from Japan are suddenly collectively (at least among youtubers) pronouncing the Japanese "ei" like "eye." Maybe I'm missing something, though.
    On a different point, sure seems weird (and cowardly as you've stated) that the ideologically fanatical keyboard warriors are also the ones who justify their terrible behavior/language (specifically referring to the use of slurs).
    One of the reasons I'm glad this channel exists is because the ideological garbage isn't coddled in EITHER direction, and that takes integrity (and tact, which so many people speaking online and in these more creative industries seem to have no concept of). The political extremes that are so constantly coddled and then lumped into the more moderate/nuanced takes by the other extreme has made discourse more unproductive than ever. Truly a shame.

It’s very suspect now combined with who the voice actor of the protagonist is etc. no I still think that the game will be fine unless there are leaks in the future that comes out where there is agenda pushing dialogue that just takes you about the emergence. so I hope SUCKERPUNCH doesn’t be stupid and do that.

    The main anger about Yasuke is "ain't no such thing as a black samurai". They want him out of the game. There are a lot of little mistakes. They have apologized. They are making changes.
    People just want him gone because black people have never been anything other than mud people and slaves.
    Until a legitimate historian comes out and says he wasn't he was a samurai.
