@SerfnUSA Because Itoi is a Japanese commie. Earthbound has a gay NPC (Tony) and Mother 3 is nothing but ancom commentary.
@PonyPanda @SerfnUSA He's pretty left leaning. He participated in a lot of Japanese social justice causes during his young adult years. And if you go on his Twitter or his personal website he does post a lot of neo-left stuff like COVID vaccines and being pro-Ukraine.
@ryo @PonyPanda @SerfnUSA What about Itoi's other works. He's a huge celebrity outside of video games.
@ryo @PonyPanda @SerfnUSA Fair enough. I don't even know most American celebrities either.
@PonyPanda @SerfnUSA Yeah, but judging from the themes of Mother 3, I really think he's a commie or at least a socialist of some kind.
Real communists support Russia. Look at what commie parties outside the Anglosphere are doing. Fun fact: the Communist Party of Russia were the ones pushing for Putin to acknowledge the LPR and DPR as independent republics

Jordan Peterson is a meme and “wash ur penis” but I can’t believe people consider him a nazi
@PonyPanda @SerfnUSA In fact, I could probably get a Japanese fedi user like @ryo to verify that since they're more exposed to his works than we are.
