The original controversy in question is detailed here.
Looks like they were ashamed of their words and deeds after all.
Same, especially considering that the original text even ends on "I have no empirical data and base my theory on assumption", which was an indicator for me that the text is intended to be read as a text written by a shoddy scientist, but it's still very good that this has been adressed to avoid misunterstandings.That's interesting. I kinda always assumed that was the context of the original text, what with these being framed as interviews from specific point of views.
Sorry to bump (I've only just found out about the change) - anyone know if the change did make it in to the Japanese version?Just to be clear on the "it was a translation issue" thing, I addressed it in my Polygon article and as a fluent Japanese speaker, I do not agree it was a translation issue. I want to see if this update also made it into the Japanese version, I hope it did (because Japanese asexual people also felt it was not right).
Yeah I don't really understand it either even after reading the old and new ones, would love an explanation too.Not gonna lie, this is very confusing to me. I'm not asexual and after reading the entire thing I'm not sure what was controversial? Someone smarter than me could probably educate me on this issue. And what was the change they made?
Someone can probably speak to it better than i can, but if I remember right the game originally was saying that because the world got all messed up and lots people got depressed and became asexual implying it was a bad thing, whereas actual asexuality is the same as any kind of sexuality and there's nothing wrong with it.Not gonna lie, this is very confusing to me. I'm not asexual and after reading the entire thing I'm not sure what was controversial? Someone smarter than me could probably educate me on this issue. And what was the change they made?
