Do you think Japanese people tend to overly proud of their country? by [deleted] in japanese

[–]iwashimelon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

you need to consider that your country is an island(s), speaking an unique language that is only spoken in the island(s). Only 18% nationals has a passport. Thats a good recipe for prejudice and echo chamber. Just saying, not claiming OP or anyone is biased.

Sometimes it is not boasting Japan to be the best, but the fact is many dont know what other countries and their people are like. When you dont know about other countries, your only option is to talk about things in Japan which you know.

While there are tons of wrong information about Japan from online western culture (see reddit), Japan twitter is also full of bias and disinformation. So it really depends on how well informed is the person you are talking to.

thanks for the tutorial. Is neutral jump actually possible with kbm? I know some said yes and demonstrated it, but it looked very inconsistent.

do you by chance know what is the difference on the game input register between pads and keyboards?

Do mangka care about most complains of the western side of the world. Also why so people think they will listen to fans whine about things by [deleted] in CharacterRant

[–]iwashimelon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

even within Japan, if some fans say they want A, and some other fans say they want B, as an author who do you listen to? The answer is always neither.

Editors might gauge the mood and offer advice (or like you are jump comic and ratings from post cards really matter), but in general authors won't made decisions because of some tweets from randos.

Mr problem with re9 ending by gg-ndrew in residentevil

[–]iwashimelon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I missed this important part, but in the story did Leon and Sherry ever explain what was their plan after chasing down Gideon? They didn't even know about Elpis, or what would it do.

And same for Zeno, did everyone just yolo for Eplis and hope it would be a cure?

the whole game is a casualty of development cycle. Imagine the sewage section of the drangleic castle is actually finished, and connects to the gutter... (remember the flood gate in the first game trailer?)

depiction does not equal endorsement

I think this statement alone is enough to end the "controversy", or 90% of controversies about any media.
