@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.

@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.

@xianc78 @PonyPanda @SerfnUSA Never played or cared about the Mother series, sorry.

@ryo @PonyPanda @SerfnUSA What about Itoi's other works. He's a huge celebrity outside of video games.

@xianc78 @PonyPanda @SerfnUSA I actually never heard of him before.

@ryo @PonyPanda @SerfnUSA Fair enough. I don't even know most American celebrities either.

@xianc78 @SerfnUSA ah. I don't consider them commies. Just radlibs.

@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.

@xianc78 @SerfnUSA he's a "commie" in the same way you can consider Jordan Peterson a "Nazi."

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
