lmao did you actually watch the video? Its one and only complaint is that the shrine in the game gets damaged. Its intent is very, very obviously to cash in on the controversy to drum up some tourism attention.

The incredibly earnest weebs in the comments promising to defend the honour of the Japanese people by not buying a computer game are equal parts hilarious and pathetic.

Right? I felt like I was taking crazy pills, what they're upset about is that they checks notes don't take off their shoes to enter the shrines? I'm still not sure if the whole thing is satire or what. Not a single mention of the black character throughout the video.

Right at 0:30 the guy starts with the claim that samurais never hurt unharmed people, the absolute brain rot of that guy, straight up close the video there.

Yeah I thought the same thing, but sat through the whole video to see if there was any relevant comments.
