| Neodegenerate said: I feel as though there is a gray area in there somewhere. Just because you call something "very " doesn't make you racist. I have a friend from Italy who calls large plates of food "very American" and he isn't racist. There are certain things that certain cultures enjoy and/or are known for. CoD is a "very American" game. If someone from a different country called it that, they could be describing the approach to story-telling, gameplay, or graphics. Some people like things that are "very " in their media. This guy apparently doesn't. |
CoD is very american for it representing an American world view (I.E it's an american military propaganda tool)... I don't think he meant it being very American because the enemies respawn during the regular missions, the levels are overly linear, the quest is very short (american being associated with appears to be poor design choices in some aspects of the game)....
What he said was basically that a game feels "japanese" when it's punitive, repetitive, has some sexualization in it (and he seems to notice it more when it's done by Japanese teams)... that shows some bias and a double standard against Japanese devs, by extension Japanese people, which is strange in gaming because most of what's good about this hobby comes from Japan in the first place!
EDIT: are they racist, probably not conscouslusly... however, they certainly should look at the way they see things, they're pretty close to be crossing that line.
