Overreacting a bit?

Please dont refer to Japanese people as "Japs."  This isnt 1942.  Its wrong, even if you were trying to be funny ... well you just arent funny.

 Hopefully he is joking but still people have been banned for jokes like this. There should be a zero tolerence on this stuff.

Why?

Because is he being racist or is he joking? If I tell a black or jewish joke is there some sort of hate involved or is it in good tatse?

It might be in good fun but it could still be offending to jewish or black people

Example: Its wrong, even if you were trying to be funny ... well you just arent funny.

He sounds offended

Whoa! ok 1st and last post on this alt, damnit*100.

I never meant it as a racist comment, I thought it was too rediculous to be considered an insult. :(

:'(

I have to say sorry since it obviously offended someone. So hence the title of my username etc.

Comedians make fun of the little differences between the peoples of this earth as a way to break down the boundaries between us. I heard that joke on some primetime comedy show, and if its good enough for kiddies then its good enough for Vgchartz?

Anyways im not going to protest any further its futile and obviously not fruitful.

BTW I win vs Leo J I have the rubber foot of a PS3 in my mouth as I type this and im wondering about how to unscrew that star screw.

CIAO.

 isnt racist when you dont like people with different color?

But that is probably his dialect,  people over here also call them **** it belongs to the dialect of the town if would just call them Japanese it wouldn't fit in the dialect over here..

PS:  This is also a good example of why freedom of speech doesn't exist :).

 It wasn't the fact that he used a racial slur. Sure that is the biggest offence and bolded by the other poster but the post as a whole is just derrogatory and wrong.

Also, freedom of speech doesn't mean you can say what you want when you want. You should go look what it actually means.

Everyone should know their rights and what it entitles now lets get this thread on topic of the Japanese PSN.

Regarding the original post, the PS3 isn't doing as well in Japan as Sony would like, so perhaps they're trying to focus on that region to increase sales.

Why do we even need to go there seriously? Just don't write shit like that. Is it that hard to avoid a few words that are obviously racist? It is even more important on a site that is actually trying to become international.

well ive never thought of it that way
