No shit they can employ him if they want to.Third Square Enix can employ him if they wish without has nothing to do with off work actions/views.
It's the fact that they want to that's the problem.

a poster earlier said there was an effeminate male, but that their sexual orientation was never implied in the game. I mean, I haven't played the game but yeah.
That I agree.Also it is impossible to separate the art and the artist completely.
He reflects on his work and vice/versa.
Its not hard to understand.That I agree.
The best artists in the history are not know to follow the right path.
But that doesn't make comments like "SE need to fire him", "I won't support their games", etc... Square Enix and you are buying his works... not his life.
I don't have an Astolfo avatar but yes, yes they are.I stick with ERA because of how good they are with the LGBT community and in general banning terrible people like the one that posted earlier in this thread.
Also anyone with an Astolfo avatar is cool. :p
Got some receipts? Because that's some 1970's era thinking.
Tsuyoshi Hasegawa's book Racing the Enemy: Stalin, Truman, and the Surrender of Japan is probably the most definitive word on the matter to date (published in 2005). He was born in Tokyo lived through the firebombings, and spent his career as a history professor in the United States where he specialized in the Cold War.
It covers the reality of surrender from a more holistic angle. The bombs aren't what really pushed Japan to surrender. How could they when firebombing couldn't and was every bit as catastrophic given the scope?
The entry of the Soviet Union pushed Japan to a point where surrender was inevitable. But at that point they were trying to find a way out of unconditional surrender. The first nuclear bomb weakened the resolve to hold out for conditions. The second ended it. The bombs weren't what made Japan surrender, they were what made Japan surrender unconditionally, immediately, without drawing out a war for months longer while they sought an exit that allowed concessions.
And in the end that was what needed to happen. Japan couldn't be given peace with conditions when the negotiating party was the military powers who had seized complete autonomy. It needed to be completely replaced, just like the Nazi regime in Germany needed to be completely replaced.
Unconditional surrender should be the terms with which we fight against wars built on the principle of ethnic cleansing as justification for expansionist military efforts.
The GENOCIDAL REGIME asked for peace terms with them keeping their conquered territories and the US said no! BAD US, BAD!
Basically, anyone saying that the US should have agreed to those terms is a racist who thinks Korean, Chinese, etc lives are meaningless. It would be like the Nazis demanding control of Germany, France, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Czexh, etc etc .
Quickly someone make Dragon Quest gay so he won't make music for it anymore.
It's a bit complicated, because it's an "okama" character, where the distinction between "gay" and "transgender" isn't really distinct (Japanese culture), but the game wants you to take him seriously, and his story involves his family coming to accept him for who he is. He's a silly character, but he's not a punchline.
I haven't played the post game yet, though.

Well, maybe neither of us are in a position to say for sure. It was just my observation as say, China will always make films about Japanese WWII atrocities but then you hear stories about students dressing as nazi's. One is far removed enough for a lot of, maybe young people, that they don't take it as seriously.Well I don't think Taiwan is that different from other Asian country but hey I could be wrong.
One thing I'll agree is that the Japanese did threat us slightly better and there really weren't a lot of conflict during the colonization, in fact it was actually better than when our current government first came to Taiwan which is a goddamn nightmare (those who played Detention will know), but still, it doesn't stop us from despising the crimes Japanese committed in WWII. It always disturbs me to see my Japanese friends not feeling remotely sorry about WWII, they usually just shrug it off like ''Well It was a mess, I'll give you that''.
I know some people have issues, but I don't hate this archetype.

I hope it's better than persona 5 "all gays are pedo-rapists" bullshit
I don't understand why SE work with him. Do you think there would be an outcry from fans? The music isn't even that good.
They're a developed main char with an actual char arc.I hope it's better than persona 5 "all gays are pedo-rapists" bullshit
You need to stop. I love you but you trigger the fuck out of me with your DQ8 BM.Sylvia already looks better than any character in Dragon Quest 8. DAMN.

Is it weird that I feel more uncomfortable with people boycotting DQ11 than people wishing for his death?
My grandmother can be quite racist and does not like gay people. She's 90 years old, trying to change her at this point is something not even worth trying. If you grew up thinking something it can be hard to change those views. Believe me, we tried.
But the conditionless surrender of Japan was as inevitable as the one by Nazi Germany and was already approaching by the Soviet declaration of war.
I'll take what I can get.I promise you I'll be over with it by the time this game releases.

cross-dressing-cross-over with tingle, please.
He said gayer. Not abominable.
After hearing the DQ XI overworld theme for hours, you'll wish Square enixe fired him.
DQ needs new blood.

Is your grandmother an active activist appearing on talk shows and paying for newspaper ads and editorials that further her views? Is she still making tons of money from contributing to a well loved and highly profitable entertainment franchise?My grandmother can be quite racist and does not like gay people.

The only silly thing here is watching people to downplay Sugiyama as having bad opinions and being dickish, and then declaring the real problem is people who are sick of his actions and take action. Actually it's not silly, it's really entertaining. Please continue. :)The only people you're burning by choosing not to purchase DQ games are other DQ fans. It is not a crime to be ignorant, and his personal beliefs are of no matter. I get people want to give some kind of response to dickheadish behavior, but you look silly.
