Every so often I see something that makes it clear that Japan is blissfully unaware of the fact that race is something of a touchy issue in other countries. This is one of those things.

It's just so hilarious how it's almost as if it were deliberately crafted to start long ridiculous threads. It works on so many levels. It's got a white guy shooting black people, which is enough to set off the people who are always looking for things to be offended by. Then the borderline literate types bring up imperialism, The White Man's Burden, and "We had to destroy the village in order to save it." And last of all there's the fanboys. God bless 'em all. They've never met a game related controversy they couldn't refuse to acknowledge.

It's such an immaculately crafted farce that I truly wish I could believe this was intentional. I would love to believe that a corporation could release something that they knew would trigger all of these responses.
