That is not the point, dude. I wouldn't play this game but that doesn't mean I want it basically banned in the West just because some people don't like what the game is about.

Hyperbole, thy name is Lawlight. This game isn't even close to being banned in the west. Indeed as far as I know there has been no negative media in the west about this game, so there isn't even any active opposition to the game being releeased from the peopel you like to demonise as ruining gaming. The only media there has been is the decision KT has taken not to release it allegedly because they are afraid their might be negative publicity from some people. That's given the game far more attention in western media than any official release and marketing campaign would.

The social justice concensus has already been established:

And yet, not a single comment from people who bothered to read this is supporting the point of view of ther article. If KT read this article and the comments they would feel encouraged to localise the game because the voice of the gamers appears to support the release of this game. The thought of negative press which has no actual influence of the commercial viability of a product has never stopped a company from pursuing a profitable venture. All the SJW ranting in the world would not negatively affect sales, therefore SJW backlash has nothing to do with the decision not to officially release in the west. Am I saying KT is lying about the reason for not localising? Yes I am. They are spinning a line and y'all are falling for it.

So, you're going to ignore all the backlash that other games have received?

Yes, its all irrelevant. These japanese devs are falling over backwards to avoid offending the west when really no one cares. That one kotaku post saying X and Y is distasteful makes no difference to the games sales or franchise future. None of it matters, it'd be like Mortal Kombat removing the violence because ofbacklash which has been over a decade strong. It hasn't happened yet because the devs have a backbone. It'd be GTA being canceled becuase it was target of conservative backlash. Not going to happen. In the internet age, people are going write things about your game, thats fine. Get over it.
This is real backlash
