Former Weekly Shonen Jump editor [[Kazuhiko Torishima]] would interject to point out that different nations have different age restriction criteria, singling out America and the UK for the strict narrow-mindedness of their ratings boards by calling the difficulties of doing business within such tight regulations to be ridiculous and frustrating. Torishima also stated that these absurd practices negatively impact Japan as well, to which Horii recalled that older games allowed players to choose between men and women for their characters, but the aforementioned ratings boards now censor the choice to "type 1 or type 2" under the guise of inclusivity. Horii further expressed his bafflement at this specific instance of foreign meddling, wondering what kind of person would even complain about the use of the words men and women in the first place. | | ;December 17, 2024 |
