First we have Joker, the protagonist of Persona 5, a game which has horrible homophobic stereotypes of gay men that repeatedly try to sexually assault a high schooler. This is nothing new for the Persona series either. Persona 3 includes an incredibly transphobic scene while one of your party members in 4 is rampantly homophobic.
Here is one of the homophobic scenes from Persona 5.
Then we come to today's announcement of the Dragon Quest hero. Koichi Sugiyama is, to put it bluntly, a huge piece of shit.I could go into his war crime denial, however this thread is about homophobia so let's focus on that. He believes LGBT people should be discriminated against and has even laughed about the suicide rates of LGBT people live on television. And of all the times to announce this character they pick fucking pride month.
Politician Made Anti-LGBTQ Comments On Dragon Quest Composer's TV Show
Japanese politician Mio Sugita has made international news due to her anti-LGBTQ comments on a television show. The program is co-hosted by Koichi Sugiyama, who composes music for the Dragon Quest games.kotaku.com
Needless to say I am seriously regretting my purchase of the season pass. I definitely won't be doing so for any future Smash games.
I don't understand the point of this thread in general. Are you implying that by purchasing the Season Pass that you're supporting homophobic viewpoints? Because that's clearly not true.
As you're an extremely prominent blogger I'm rather disappointed that this is all you could say in response to it. He's bringing up valid points about the game industry often entertaining homophobic people in such a capacity that we KNOW about it
...is the original Doomguy Chara, and this is Kris?We need Doomguy to join Banjo in balancing out Joker and Hero.
This makes me wonder if you're a troll account trying to parody people who genuinely care so that you can go to 4chan and make fun of ResetEra.
Ah yes, because one queer individual speaks for everyone

He's allowed to be who he is. Knock it off.

Queer people don't really get to turn off being queer. You can be okay with these characters getting in Smash (I like Persona and DQ myself in spite of all this shit), but that doesn't give anybody an excuse to diminish the feelings people have on these issues.
pretty sure you can link anything to something shitty if you reach far enough. whats the deal with this forum and fucking digging so hard to find something shitty? jesus christ.
This.But DQ11 is otherwise an extremely queer positive game...
Sylvando's entire storyline is a story of acceptance and reconciliation, and he's easily the strongest, more selfless and heroic hero of the group.
Why did this Sugiyama stuff surface only now? It's been known in Japan for years. Why is it only suddenly relevant when DQ is in the spotlight?
Seriously, get help. Your victim complex with MK is incredible.Funny how the haters were going off at MK11 for hiring Roare turning blind eye on this
lmao
