The difference is that the japanese are sexual and Americans are Puritans.
japanese games have women being overtly sexual and men being overtly masculine.
american games have naked women (Cortana among others) as obvious sex bait but without invoking any kind of sexual response from the player. Its exactly what im talking about in my gta reference above where women being naked or as sex objects is portrayed as commonplace thing. Yes of course she is naked, she's a woman. Nothing to get excited about that is just what women are.
its actually really ironic, because its literally the only difference in the portrayal of women between the two.
both are sexualized, one side calls u sick the other side calls u normal.

And dont think this doesn't go both ways for men as well.
american media is obsessed with masculinity so much so that its impossible to find a game where I can relate to the character. Ive always had a more androgynous look, cute but not sexy, is what I heard. Its why I like celebs like Leo because they stood out as more feminine looking characters.

American portrayal of male lead roles is so sexist it disgusts me.

Agreed.

Polygon is for fags, ban me if you want but it's the true. fags, moralists and white knights feminists. "very japanese" lol what a joke.

I don't think so. I agree with their scores for most Japanese games though.

I still think it fits. Writer is using a crutch rather than defining what about the game he/she likes. Saying you don't like Japanese games is fine. Saying "This game is sexist, plays poorly, and the epitome of bad characters. It's very Japanese." It's a bad handed comment used to discriminate. I can understand its usage in parody or other means, but it'd be like calling all braindead shooters just American shooters (durr hurr, get it, all americans are stupid and like shooters). It's just lazy and reveals bias.

Bias against what is prevalent within a culture and racism against a person of a denomination are two separate things.

Discriminatory behaviors or mindsets against a culture and products made by a predominat ethinicity. Focusing on semantics and accurate defining. >_>

I think that it's more to do with Arthur Gies than Polygon. From what I've seen he certainly has a bias towards Japanese games but calling it racist is a bit of a stretch, although I don't know why he called it "too Japanese" since it's like calling Halo "too American" or Romeo and Juliet "too Shakespeare."

Well if not racist the better term for it would be xenophobic... but in the least they are imbecile.

Well is hard for people to not bias again something, even for Journalist, one way or another is to avoid or never take Polygon seriously when they reviewing Japanese games or games that has a strong Japanese Otaku culture.

Well it's work for every other reviewer or Journalist as well, let say Kotaku that biased against game that is non Asian and Japanese (well some off not all).
