To be fair, didn’t Sakurai praise TLOU2 as a game dev? It can go both way, as not every Japanese personally knows or really cares about the politics or meaning behind our games (unlike this site)
But going back on topic, what gets me on that thread is that A.) They couldn’t even fucking wait before a proper translation, before they start accusing Sakurai as some -ism
And B.) Have these people realize that with the exception of 1/2 things, (One actual trans character, and technically that one in game ad, but even then not really, as it wasn’t even about trans rights )
Most of there anger and cry of transphobia, was form outside form the game, form decade old tweets form GOG (not even the fucking devs) and one bad joke form the game‘sTwitter, which they have since apologized
For there cry of transphobia, form the in game text, this is probably the least transphobic game, especially when you compare to Japanese games
