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

Guys, we can close this thread now. Apparently no one cares and all the tweets and articles about sexism in video games don't exist. They're all figment of our imagination apparently.

Highlighted the meat of the point since you seemed to have missed it. 

Next will the same japnese devs stop releasing their games in the west because they don't like what our reviewers say about them? Essentially no one should be looking to blame freedom of speech of what is essentially just a developer lacking backbone/conviction. OR, more likely, them looking for an excuse not to localise their game.
