the terrible nier gacha has a private server in the works which i would not ordinarily mention but this is the first domino that has led to a genuine japanese/american race war breaking out on twitter in the last 24 hours because elon turned on post translation by default

i can’t believe this is going to be the weapon description of a sword nobody uses because it costs too much in a late game shop

why ARE the Japanese Like That™ when it comes to worshiping the rights of corporations anyways it just seems absolutely pathetic, also THE GAME LITERALLY DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE WHAT ARE THEY DOING

i'm not exaggerating like every single jp post is "filthy evil yankees think they can steal everyone's hard work for themselves" and every en post is "honor bound collectivist cucks worship whatever the corporation tells them" it's. well its what you'd expect for x dot com the everything app

Not super surprising to me given that the US' mindset regarding game preservation has been at odds with Japan's for a long time

To be fair, I think Yoko Taro would be kinda delighted if his game was the nexus of "humanity tears itself apart to the point of extinction because the people could finally hear each other clearly"

Wow I looked it up and it's actually that bad. And it's not even just the en posts, I saw a Portuguese one that just said "Japanese gamers" and had a picture for the wikipedia definition of the "Natural Slave".

oh yeah like this is a tension that has existed between jp/overseas fandoms for ages around fan tls/mods/emulation etc but its elon's good good website that took this to the next level and got everyone busting out the world war 2 slurs again

Twitter is fascinating because all the accounts you follow will be going about business as usual but you accidentally open up the algorithmic feed just next door and it's all insane people flinging their own feces in random directions.
