I know you think this is some kind of epic own to me, but I'm not an absolute cultural relativist. I don't think Muslims should be allowed to beat women because "it's their culture" either, and I definitely don't think "maybe you should consider how your actions look in the eyes of others when acting in a public space and for a company" to be an unreasonable and insurmountable barrier.
Huh, I wonder why Sony's internal presser would paint Sony's properties in a positive light and their largest rival's properties in a negative light? Must be those damn dirty SJWS, the company couldn't possibly be huffing their own farts like most game companies do!
Yakuza: Like A Dragon is one of Sony's big new flagships for the next gen, and it's no more "woke" than the previous Yakuza games to the point that some of the usual suspects are getting bilious about how it doesn't want to smash capitalism enough (despite having yuppies as an enemy type) and has another enemy type that's just "big niggas roid-raging out".
It's an interesting leak, but it's telling me nothing that I didn't already know (if you think that Japanese companies didn't think about international sensitivities when they have to market in the psychotically-censorious tiger pit that is the China until the big mean SJWs turned up, you've got weak critical thinking skills): Sony continues to suck its own dick over middling games that pulled decent sails and have no idea how to properly produce in-house products, relies on gimmicks and IP farming, film at 11.
First time encountering someone with a different opinion?
