Comment on As new Yakuza announcements dropped, top walkthrough writing guy in anglosphere refuses to play these at all

The main character of Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth gets sexually assaulted several times during the side quests. From kissing to sex, it’s always verbally and physically non-consensual. He gets strapped to a table in one of them.

But it’s women doing it so it’s funny, I guess

There’s a pretty big difference between real sexual harassment and fictional sexual harassment. One actually affects humans negatively and the other is just a matter of tastes.

  Did you read what he wrote…? He claims hiring this guy goes against the messaging in the games. The messaging in the last game included “rape is comedic topic when it happens to a man”
  
  Of course it’s different to actual assault but it’s pretty sick that you’re defending it as an acceptable form of humor.

    It’s acceptable to a lot of people. I don’t care for it but I’m not for censorship. I don’t think it’s funny and it’s also extremely played out. It’s hack material.
    
    I’m 100% for firing and not hiring actual sexual predators.

    The Like A Dragon Series has a long-standing history of opposing sexual misconduct in all its forms
    
    This is why I commented

    Yes, it’s in bad taste. Still not anywhere as bad as actually doing in real life.

None of these games are very PC. Even the most modern ones have humor and ideas stuck firmly in the early 90s and can be in extremely poor taste across all manner of things from misoginy, classism, racism, agism and ablism.

  Read what he posted. He said the series is against sexual misconduct which is what I’m “debunking”

    And I’m agreeing with you by adding more context. They’re not PC at all. Even in the way they show sexual misconduct as being bad is through the lens of a “white knight” mindset (male lead must rescue the damsel) or for creepy gross-out gags (old, homeless man flashing people on the street that you must catch).
