So why exactly did he say it in Japanese?
So why exactly did he say it in Japanese?
Kamiya is hilarious, although I unfollowed him because he does spam a lot.
I don't know, the man sounds like a total dick in those tweets.
So an immigrant does something stupid or steals something. You think it's ok to say;"stupid fucking foreigners."? He originally said it in Japanese for a reason.
yeah. dude is racist as fuck, I can't see how anyone can still be defending his bullshit now. you can argue that the kotaku piece was dumb as hell, and you'd be spot on, but that doesn't excuse his xenophobic responses later on.
Sweet dreams, everyone & some クソ馬鹿ぼんくらガイジン
Such selective pickings.
But what if he's getting spammed by idiots who speak a foreign language
Thank you.
There's a thing called context, people. Even the guy that challenged him called him a pussy. Jesus.
Ok someone on a vacation then.Well that's a pretty pointless example considering we are not talking about immigrants here.
Gaijin is the foreigner part. He says the entire phrase afaik.that's...not what gaijin means but okay
no?
Does it matter if he said it in a tweet that was basically respectfully saying goodnight to all english speaking readers except "some" fucking stupid foreigners or w/e?
Also am I on everyone's ignore list or something?
Kamiya is really immature. It's hard to have a respect for him with that kind of reaction.
Why did he tweet it in japanese with a winkyface?

And it was just my first Google result.
Wah...
The professor then offered his personal opinion: “My own sense is that some foreign residents of Japan who take offense at any use of the term ‘gaijin’ belong to a well-established phenomenon of foreigners (usually white men) who want to become completely Japanese (culturally, biologically, socially)—cf. Pierre Loti, Madame Chrysantheme, Blackthorne in Clavell’s novel ‘Shogun,’ or James Bond, in ‘You Only Live Twice.’ For these Japanophiles, any indication that they’ve not succeeded in becoming Japanese is taken as a personal insult, and I think much of the offense at the term ‘gaijin’ (foreigner) stems from this anxiety they bring to the situation.”
That's a much, much larger ethno-social debate topic though. It's probably similar to the canto 鬼佬 (Gwai Lo), which means more or less the same thing but is common usage - 'foreign devil', 'ghost man', whatever.
You're basically objecting to language itself at this point.

calling someone a stupid fucking foreigner is pretty damn racist/bigoted/xenophobic.
It's considered rude, at the very least. It's not the pc term. And "fucking stupid foreigners" is quite xenophobic, no matter how you twist it.

That's a pretty interesting comparison you got there, lolHitler was a pretty sweet painter, surely that excuses the holocaust right? and yeah I just got all Godwin up in this bitch.
None, but just like in real life if you come off as an ass, you can't blame other people for viewing him as an ass
He's like the Louis CK of video game developers. Everything he says is entertaining enough that it's not really offensive to me. I just like watching him do whatever he wants.It's pretty messed up that because he's made some great games he can say bullshit like this and avoid criticism.
Because he was being a smarmy asshole, not a racist xenophobe.
Kamiya is a moron, and a douchebag. Yes he makes good games, but he is seriously an arrogant prick. Why do you guys accept this so happily?
He respectfully insulted them in a language they couldn't understand.
Hitler was a pretty sweet painter, surely that excuses the holocaust right? and yeah I just got all Godwin up in this bitch.
And that allows him to tell people to fuck off how?Probably because:
1) Is not his call to port games to the PC.
2) He probably said already he dosn't care
3) he probably said alreay 1) and 2) a few times already.
He dosn't need to know what Steam is and he neither should care.
Unrelated to everything, but is that...
...Neil DeGrasse Tyson holding a Virtual Boy!?!
That's exactly what it is though. Tons of English speaking people intentionally try to get a rise out of him when crap blogs like Kotaku run something on him because they know he responds to everything.He's like the Louis CK of video game developers. Everything he says is entertaining enough that it's not really offensive to me. I just like watching him do whatever he wants.
Also, I don't care about being called a stupid foreigner, and that's even if he was generalizing that broadly in the first place. It could have just been a bunch of American or European people hassling him on twitter all day and he could have been referring to them.
No Gaijin is translated as Foreigner. He says fucking and stupid additionally.
Kamiya is a moron, and a douchebag. Yes he makes good games, but he is seriously an arrogant prick. Why do you guys accept this so happily?
am I disagreeing that the kotaku piece was out of line and largely full of shit? nope. still doesn't justify his gaijin and stupid fucking foreigners comments in any way, but by all means give a racist a free pass because he made some games you like.
