So many issues.
Call me an SJW, I don't give a fuck, I really don't. I still love Shenmue, I'm still going to buy Shenmue 3, but I believe the majority of us Shenmue fans are grown, so we can have a discussion like this.
But as a gay black man, I just noticed how homophobic the Shenmue series is, has anybody else.
Come to think of it, all of the LGBT characters are villains or antagonists in a very sinister way.
Chai, Yuan and Yuan's boyfriend Don Niu are prime examples.
I know Japan isn't the most LGBT friendly place, and I'm also aware the game takes place in the late 80s, but lord have mercy.
Another thing, Yuan was turned into a woman and many other LGBT characters were censored or altered in a way in the North American release and it seems nobody ever talks about this or sees how fucked up this is.
Maybe it's just the video game industry in itself. I don't know.
Discuss please.
