After a Kotaku article was made on the subject,
Neogaf is now painting Tom Lipschultz of XSeed as a white supremacist because he didn't want his name on the box of a game that had content edited to avoid offending people. The specific details are that basically, a game titled Akiba's Beat was being localized by this company, but in-game, the game has a sign in it that says "KKK Witches" in reference to a Japanese company titled "NKK Switches". When Tom, one of the members of XSeed, noticed this, he got a laugh out of it considering the accidental implications it has in the West, but the rest of the company didn't see it that way. They decided to contact the Japanese developers of the game asking what the intended meaning was to be sure, and the company just immediately sent them a build of the game with the sign changed to "ACQ Witches".
Tom felt bad about this as he feels that the change wasn't made for reasons that help people understand the material so much as it was done to avoid causing a ruckus and making people upset, (and he's one of those people who doesn't want any changes whatsoever made to games in the West beyond translations putting things in English) and so he asked his name to be removed from the credits of the game (which due to company policy, means he can't have his name on the credits of ANY XSeed game).
Neogaf is painting this as him being a white supremacist and are denouncing him even saying outright lies about him, as well as making assumptions about him, using this to say more bad things about Trump, and are hoping he never gets another job in localization ever again. They're also pointing out things he did for previous localizations, such as in Akiba's Trip translating a 2ch reference to someone pretending to be a girl to 4chan references with the term "trap", and they think by doing this he's defending and encouraging slurs and offensive content towards people. People defending Tom in the thread are of course getting banned.
