Do you seriously not see the tremendous hypocrisy in your argument? You're all over Kamiya for making what you allege are racist/xenophobic statements and in the same thread -- even in the same post -- you make derogatory, blanket statements about the Japanese game industry and Japanese online users.
I'm sorry, but where have I done that?
I said "Even the usually anti-foreigner Japanese online users are saying this is too much."
There is a group of online users in Japan, although a small percentage of the whole, who are notorious for being extremely right wing. Studies have shown that unemployed young people as a result of the recent economic problems of Japan, are continuously drawn to this group to express their anger and blaming their social problem on foreign influences.
The 2ch and game related sites are notorious to be a place where this group of users congregate. My statement was not a generalization of the online users as a whole. I am saying that the group of Japanese users who are usually anti-foreigner, are coming out of the woodwork to say that what kamiya is doing is too much.
My other statement about how this degrades the image of the industry here as a whole, are sentiments expressed by this group of users, and I agree with them. It is not my view of the Japanese games industry. But Kamiya as a member of the industry here, saying stuff like this, is very similar to what that one guy at GDC a while ago said about Japanese games. It creates a bad impression no matter how you want to spin it.
In the end, my objective was not to generalize, but unfortunately no matter what I say will be taken as generalization as how most Japan threads turn into. All I wanted to get across is that people are not interpreting what Kamiya said truthfully, and that he has managed to sway even the anti-foreigner group of users.
