Harada not putting up with conspiracy theorists on Twitter trying to accuse him of racism.

 

[Alexios]

Harada gets baited by/makes a troll famous. Called racist while naming several races included because a character is not yet revealed, lol, then folks take it as if Harada gave reasons to revel in Tekken being unabashedly not diverse when it actually is so very diverse and a better game for it. Weird.

[ssringo]

Come to think of it, there are no Japanese characters in the American dramas and movies that I love, but I have never felt discriminated against because of it.

Beautiful. Fuck those self centered assclowns.

 

[SJRB]

Look at that fucking guy's profile and pinned tweet.

We should bring bullying back.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Harada should have taken it a step further and not even acknowledged that bullshit. Do not entertain or cater to the mentally ill.

 

[StylishMGTOW]

Fuck em!

Agree. Just giving that dumbass promotion that he doesn't deserve.

Just don't check his pinned tweet.

 

[00_Zer0]

Even though it's probably a troll it's good to see someone from Japan stand up to this nonsense. I am happy to see this narrative shut down. Good on him.

 

[Shifty1897]

There is SO much to unpack here by a licensed therapist/psychologist.

 

[geary]

Damn, you guys have so much free time to know everyone with a twitter account.

 

[Filben]

Why is this clown with 69 followers even relevant? There are millions on that fucking page, imagine you care about everyone having shit takes.

I still stand by it: social media creates more drama than it does for a positive.

 

[SHA]

White is one of the colors, did you know that?

 

[stn]

Good on him for responding to this delusional retard. Funny thing but I feel like Tekken has the best black characters out of all the fighting games out there. Raven and Leroy are both incredibly awesome aesthetically, and Bruce was also pretty badass.

 

[Fart Knight]

Aint no way a blax,latinx male is called Tim

He's just looking for a farting mexican

Why you do that to me bro?

 

[mortal]

Harda shouldn't have even acknowledged him. People like that are just desperate for indignation, and getting a response is just another dopamine hit for him.

 

[Fake]

Love this dude.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

God bless Japanese game developers.

 

[SHA]

There are two ways to prove a game is successful
Look at how the media reacted to Bioshock Infinite, you get the point, it's not cause we are smarter than all the bs we heard from them, it's cause the game is successful.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I feel discriminated against cause they haven't added any really large girthy dick characters yet.

Twitter loves accusing Japanese developers of racism. When Japanese developers try to be inclusive, they can lack the nuance of Westerners and fail to stick the landing. Western devs seem to be given more slack when they fuck up.

 

[DaciaJC]

On behalf of the rest of Michigan, I sincerely apologize for this ... specimen. He needs psychotherapy.

What's funny is that Asians are typically racist towards other types of Asians. haha.
You can tell these people on X are not that familiar with real Asians in real life.

 

[TheDraconian]

No need for all this projection.
Dude should actually spend time self-reflecting to understand his mental state.

Inclusiveness never made sense to begin with. Try as you might, you can never include absolutely everybody in your game, somebody will always be left out. Therefore you will always be racist/sexist/ableist or whatever other term there is out there.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

"Looking for a gassy Papi"? . . . is there a gay fart fetish? Oh God! That might be enough internet for the day and this day just started for me.

 

[stn]

Funny enough, my country has only been represented in a video game once - and it was as a criminal character in GTA IV (literally an Eastern European stereotype character). I didn't give a shit and wasn't offended, there are more important things in life. I also really enjoyed the game.

 

[Sony]

Great response. This diversity quota shit is becoming tiring. Tekken 8 literally has the grandmaster of drip in their rosters. Aditionally, one of the things I love about Tekken is the fact that everyone speaks their native language to each other.

 

[SmokedMeat]

This dude has a Patreon lol

 

[RagnarokIV]

Nice one. I wish Yoshi P done the same over the FFXVI 'racism' shite too.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

Gotta love Japanese devs.

If this was said to a Western dev they would start up some sort of focus group nonsense.

Tekken, the game with competitive scenes in Australia, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia, United Kingdom, and the United States, is racist? Certainly.

Jesus fuck look at thon cunt... The amount of second hand embarrassment I feel is just too much, I just showed my wife this clampett and she near spat her tea out

and they're all fighting each other, obviously racist hatred all around.

 

[AJUMP23]

Shouldn't even respond to these clowns.

 

[00_Zer0]

God bless Japanese game developers.

One of the main reasons I'm still gaming today. So glad Japan finally embraced Steam and PC gaming. Namco brings out some of the better ports of their games on PC. Love to see it!

 

[BossLackey]

Damn, you guys have so much free time to know everyone with a twitter account.

Are you talking about Harada or the furry?

 

[j0hnnix]

SonicFox that you?

I was glad when I moved away from the west over a decade ago.

I'm ecstatic now.

 

[AJUMP23]

If you twitter handled unapologetically white, how quickly do you get canceled?

 

[clintar]

White is one of the colors, did you know that?

I was taught that it was all the colors combined. Quite inclusive.
