For those unaware, Jason Schreier of Kotaku posted an article in which lead artist and president of Vanillaware George Kamitani was likened to a 14 year-old boy for his character design of Dragon's Crown's sorceress.
Original Article: The Real Problem With That Controversial, Sexy Video Game Sorceress
Kamitani soon followed with a response that was likewise a bit controversial, as it ran the risk of being misinterpreted by many and was questionable in nature.
Relevant Thread: Kamitani responds to Kotaku criticism of the characters.
I told myself that I would refrain from visiting Kotaku in the future because of its deeply sensationalist nature, but low and behold, here I am posting this thread. The same editor in question recently posted this article:
JRPG Censorship Is Such A Silly Thing
In it, he proceeds to argue that censorship of Japanese games is ridiculous and undermines the original intent. WTF? Am I going crazy, or is this a massive contradiction of his directly insulting tone when attacking Kamitani's work?
Is Jason Schreier secretly laughing at all of us for taking the bait and using our clicks to bring in advertising revenue?
Seriously, how could any sane person produce these two articles in such a short time frame?
