What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

[CrownySuccubus]

It took one post for an American to remind us that voting for trump is bad and if you did then you hate gay people and also trans people and you're bad! This hyperfixation on specific themes is literally a pattern I see everywhere.

They said this to a person who literally introduced unrelated Twitter posts to bring up complaints about the Far Left. I think the argument of "who wants to remind us what political ideology is bad" was already well underway.

Yes, I suppose he has the right to be as ugly a person as he likes and fall into individual targeting of the devs to continue his ongoing surety of the far left conspiracy "seeping" into this game, as you are free to auto-defend what he posted while sidestepping it's content entirely. Cool story.

Much as you are to auto-defend those Twitter accounts because they happen to align with your views.

Yeah there's me deleting my posts from this thread. Regardless of my misgivings with this plot, fuck this shit. Some lines don't get crossed.
Be better.

It isn't my intention to cause strife. I am simply raising awareness of a potential hiccup in the localisation process.

The torrent of Venat tier logic and refusal to take responsibility continues. I guess it can't be helped once one has gone full mask off. By all means, keep "raising your eyebrows" because you're mad because SE isn't performing political background checks for their individual employees to suit your fancy.

I didn't say a single thing about the Twitter accounts, the people in it, or their content. Raking through an individual's retweets and likes and then posting them to stir up outrage on a thread that was critical anyway? Please. We're not all idiots or Theodric's friends who must rush to defend his posts, no matter how pathetic.

You're welcome to take whatever stance on the matter you so wish. I certainly don't make posts for the sake of any given individual's personal approval.

Multiple people have been linking to the Twitter accounts of the likes of Ishikawa and Matsuno, as well as specific Tweets and interviews that they have made. Nothing was said then, though suddenly it is a 'no go' when it comes to localisation.

Stop being disengenous. People referred to Matsuno and Ishikawa's tweets when they were responding directly to questions asked about their work on the game. We didn't go hunting through their likes to gain ammo for evidence of the FAR LEFT CONSPIRACY or "identity politics". But yes, you didn't mean to do a little Sundering, you meant well, you swear! We know, we know.

Community's darkest timeline gif?

That's it, yeah, thanks.

'Grabbing tweets and interview questions which they made in direct response to people in a public context.' = 'Hunting down unaffiliated and unrelated people's content from other parts of Twitter as proof of agendas being at play.'
Okay Thatcher.

Things got...weird in here since I last looked. But yeah, let's not try to inject real world politics into this whole situation

Just because some members of the localization team have extremely hot takes against the people who didn't like certain elements of EW's story doesn't mean there's some conspiracy going on.
