Then you should just sit out on everything, gurantee you some shit people are involved with any big project most of the time. It's a pointless endeavor to me, calling out Square publicly and making it vocal that they should dump this guy seems more effective and with no innocents getting punished.
He's an anti-LGBT advocate, which included political action against the legalization of same-sex marriages.
I feel like my attempts to deflate the situation haven't really helped so I'll just skedaddle outta this thread before I say something worse by accident lmao
There's been a ton of reasons given by people to skip the game, and if one isn't dumb, it's this one.
This guy in particular is causing measurable harm.
Nice. Insulting people affected by shitheads like him because they refuse to support him. Good point. Excellent.
Attempting to deflate is exactly the issue. Smart move.I feel like my attempts to deflate the situation haven't really helped so I'll just skedaddle outta this thread before I say something worse by accident lmao
I mean he denies Japanese war atrocities committed to other nations. It's pretty much implied that he's racist.
I agree with this on the part the rest of the team don't need to suffer for one man's opinion That's insane I'm my point of view. Make a petition. Flood SE mail box asking him to leave. But boycotting a game because one dude is not the right way to do it for me

...How is it insane to not wanting to buy a game because of a prominent hateful person? Is the concept really hard to grasp or what?
I've seen people in this thread and around the internet saying "fuck DQ, fuck who makes them". People are reactionary and see that a guy involved in the DQ development is a bigot therefore DQ devs are bigots. That scorched Earth strategy is stupid.
This has been stated repeatedly, but this isn't just any "one dude". This is Sugiyama who has gained fame, influence and wealth from his work on the Dragon Quest series and has a massive personal stake in it. As a big representative of the series, he's more of an issue that most of the staff could possibly be individually and he wields far more power.
As I said. He not worked alone on the game. So boycotting something for one guy for me is too extreme. There's better ways to get rid of him from his job. If that's what the majority in this thread want
No one's saying that when they say fuck DQ or fuck SE.
He's like a super homophobic Christian Mormon type. Honestly, his stance really confuses me.
He's a prominent figure of the staff. It's honestly not that extreme. He's not just some person. If you wanna support the game, go ahead. But at least try to understand where people are coming from before you write them off as "extreme". Thanks.
I'd love to know too. At least every post I've seen is directed at Sugiyama, not the entire team
The weirdest thing is the way that almost defaults to the idea that everyone's is going to buy this game.
Is a quiet bigot any less awful? I don't see your point. This shit happens retroactively even where something someone previously enjoyed *shock* had a shitty person involved and then they act like they never enjoyed it and it wasn't even good. It's disengenious. You can like things that have bad people involved. You have to if you want to enjoy anything in life.
The way I see is : the game was successful in Japan. Boycotting the game instead of point fingers on petitions or other ways will just make the game to stay in Japan in the future. So the whole team deserve more than this. Things should be done right
A quiet nobody bigot is a far lesser evil when compared to Sugiyama and his ilk, yes. I'm not sure why this is difficult to understand.
Yes, a quiet anonymous bigot is definitely better than a famous one who espouses their views on television and in newspaper ads.
How do you know they mean the entire team there is also bigoted? You're generalizing people with that statement alone, bud.
