You're talking about from a legal sense. From everything I've heard, Japanese gender roles are really awful. Assuming that the west is the direction they should be heading towards, they seem to be many many years behind.
Ehhhh, that's a huge leap in logic here. The very fact that women-only cars even exist to begin with, is because Japan has such a huge societal problem with women getting groped and sexually assaulted in trains! The women-only cars are a band-aid solution to a larger problem, not a sign that Japan is particularly progressive about gender.
Women-only cars are a form of segregation because Japan refuses to adequately punish sexual assault via groping in train cars.
Goddamn and people told me I was overreacting when I said this Index shit didn't fit with Virtual On.
It's a pretty good hat.
Yeah, I've complained about this too, I don't like this mindset regarding Japan. When Hollywood produces some movie with sexist elements nobody is gonna give a shit about the US' culture and their differences or whatever. When Japan localizes something is because they seek an international audience for their product, and once their product gets out of Japan then it's up for the scrutiny of whoever has access to it, cultural differences be damned. And that's not even mentioning how it's kinda shitty to assume sexism and objectification of women are inherent to their culture, because it implies you think everyone in Japan accepts and identifies with those things.
It's not the same but you could always try Medabots instead!So this just came across my desk.
MAN! I'm really excited for the new Virtual ON! I love that franchise! It's teaming up with Index is a little weird but everything should be fin-
...wait what is tha-
OH.
I see.
I see...
I can't just have my game about digital robots anymore huh?
Yea, I couldn't be more ready. Personally, Yakuza 2 is the only game in the series that's potentially on par with Yakuza 0.
Ah yes, the Tekken movie where Christie is white instead for some reason and also displaces the Asian character who normally serves as Jin's partner/moral support in the games.Western adaptation of Tekken...
That image from Echoes was sidestepping my original point to begin with.
Western adaptation of Tekken...
I think we finally found the answer to the question posed by the thread title...
They ruined my childhood...It's not the same but you could always try Medabots instead!
... Or not, maybe not, yeah.
So, I was in Milan a few weeks ago, and insideAnor Londothe Duomo there was this statue. Made me think of all that's been said in this thread and elsewhere. That's an interesting male armour XD
Before this very post, I only knew medabots to be a kid's cartoon... What in the actual goddamn fuck?not the same but you could always try Medabots instead!
... Or not, maybe not, yeah.
Medabots actually started as an RPG series in Japan, but for an anniversary it received an anime adaptation of the second game, which was dubbed in many languages and helped introduce the rest of the world to the franchise.
Most of these armors were ceremonial in nature - i.e. not used in battle. But yeah, also different standards of beauty and what the idealized male was supposed to look like.So, I was in Milan a few weeks ago, and insideAnor Londothe Duomo there was this statue.
