On this site yes they do. Some people here make a big deal out of anything. It's pathetic.

All I want to say about the whole Shuhei thing is to "calibrate" your assumptions. The notion that Shuhei must naturally be aware of the politics and nature of Bolsonaro because he's a senior global executive is a narrow perspective and ultimately, your projected echo chamber. I'm pretty confident Shu doesn't even know everything about the global video gaming scene. People have blindspots, limited capacities, and when you're someone at that level, there are things that you only have cursory knowledge because there are too many things to digest.
E.g. I work as a senior executive for a whole region of 5 countries, and I'm only deeply knowledgeable on the politics for 3 countries. You can call that incompetence if you want, but politics isn't part of my job and I'm too busy with other stuff.
The best thing you could do is immediately reach out to Shuhei and call attention to him that what he was doing paints a very poor light and explain the rationale/reason behind it - and it's good that he listened and undid it.

Oh shit, THAT'S the guy.
tbh, I forgot who he was before you mentioned it, but I remember being very disappointed when I read who Brazil's president was a while back.
The latest Yoshida's retweet
As a brazilian... yikes.
Maybe it's nothing for people from other countries, but here he's one of the reasons women and minorities are living a nightmare.
With all the potential Sony news next week, I forgot that EVO is coming up as well. Although whatever Sony is planning on announcing there will likely happen next Sunday during the finals.
I'm glad, he probably didn't knew him.
That's... surprisingly great. Maybe they are finally going all in PS Now. But the lack of first party is still weird.
If Shu didn't delete the tweet, we would be in the next OT by Monday
How do u know? It wasn't even revealed yet. Why would someone in here tell us we'll be surprised if it's not a Sony game?
I dont trust that poster's legitimacy based off him making threads off baseless rumors and refusing to be verified
I know shitloads of 'grown ass men', and women, who have no clue who he is. Our press ignores him because the Tory party loves him.
I'm in the UK and despite the BS that's going on here politically, a recent survey revealed that relatively few people knew who Boris Johnson was. And that "person" is our next PM. Personally, I doubt that Yoshida knew who the rhetoric and policies surrounding the Brazilian PM. His views on the LGBT alone goes against everything Shu promotes via PS.
The fact that he deleted it once made aware is enough for me.

Ignorance isn't really an acceptable excuse for someone in his position.
It's not a good look, but he ultimately sees this as a net positive for the PS brand, whatever our feelings may be about the retweet.
If he was a president or MP then yes, but he's the head of a video game company. Being in the know of the political views of every president isn't expected from him because it's not his job.
Don't you know? Video games is serious business.
What position? Head of First Party studios at playstation?
Is a requirement to know every single country leader?
he didn't knew about him (like every single one of us do not know of every single country leader out there) and when it was pointed out who was he, he deleted it. It happens.
But you should definitely make a thread about it.
Again, this comes down to what he thought was best for the brand and so he chose to retweet a world leader. I believe it was an error of judgement (one he has since corrected by deleting the retweet, which in itself shows he knows it was a poor decision) and it's case closed. It's not a world changing event or something to start a campaign over, I thought he would know better, turns out he is ignorant of certain world leaders and their horrible views and that's cool. We all have our blindspots.
Are you doing okay? All you seem to do most of the time is passive aggresively post 'make a thread' to news/something of interest.
I think they meant personal account. Do you believe everyone who works at a company and doesn't have 2 separate accounts, their sole account becomes their work account? There's a reason people have posted things in their bio like "these views are my own". It's his personal account, not some kind of work account that Kaz forced him to open when Twitter was established.
I like how your entire post was ignored because you got him caught up and he didn't know how to respond.
I think you should make a thread about that.
don't lie, we know how you're really feeling
I moved on to 2B, after Much said that Nier is trash.
His bad taste in games is well known.
Same. Loads of people don't know who he is.
In fact, unlike Trump, who the whole world knows as leader of the free world and for being a disgrace for decades on end, more people don't know what happens in Brazil, or who most of the presidents, politics of South America are.
I was hoping we could get back on to the topic of studio acquisitions instead.
i would rather go back to complaining about no JRPG from sony.
It was on Channel 4 news but I don't remember what day specifically.
Personally I think we should speculate on the last of us 2 release date that conversation is new and fresh
Nah. I think is better for us to discuss if Death Stranding is coming to PC.
God we need news from Sony desperately
Sony should create a copy of Final Fantasy XV. What a great game, best FF.
It's not about "if", it's a question about "when".

Because no one cares about Dreams, really. What a commercial failure it will be. Shame.
