why are chinks and gooks okay with taking japanese roles?

Why does his head look like that?

>>723653374
Yakuza is fictional.

It wasn't even his appearance that made that commercial so bad. It was the intense pandering to the meme obsessed Western fan base "DOOD WHAT IS YAKUZA ABOUT XD" shit. My God.

>>723653449
Yakuza covers the sociopolitical issues between Asians constantly, it's one of the major themes of the entire series. It's like having a production of To Kill a Mockingbird where Atticus Finch is black. It defeats much of the point.

>>723653374
they all look the same anyway

>>723653514
Yakuza is the Borderlands of Japan. Always has, always will be. Cry about it.

>>723653610
>Atticus Finch is black
they havent done that yet?

>>723653392
he's a successful voice actor

>>723654273
Literally never was, it was an embezzlement scheme for Nagoshi until 0 and it still is taken seriously in Japan. They don't like Kasuga either from what I hear

>>723653610
>It defeats much of the point.
I'm sure you believe this too, Raj.

>>723654561
What's the point of the major twist of Yakuza 2 if a Korean is playing the Japanese main characters?

>>723654882
to be the story of a video game?

I've dealt with this guy at cons before. He's an absolute tool and a piece of shit. Not as much as Vic but I wouldn't want to deal with either one again.

>>723652887 (OP)
Off topic but is it true you lose the face fat last?

>>723655253
Funny how that bungled lawsuit just brought out into the light that Vic in fact was a sex pest piece of shit no one liked. Doesn't even matter if his attorneys were shit, he was dumb to be fighting them on that. No one wins with defamation lawsuits but the lawyers.

PAY FOR MY TUNA ROLLS

NAMASTE!

>>723655771
literally no proof still to any of the accusations.
he lost because he listened to that coked up druggie rekieta and took his legal advice and lawyer recommendations.

>>723655771
Vic was also really weird and petty. Like he'd pick fights with other panelists who were more popular than him because it hurt his ego. Absolute shitstain.

>>723652887 (OP)
Isn't he chinese? Why is he culturaly appropriating a japanese custom as yakuzas?

>>723655890
>Yakuza 9 substory with Fake Kasuga as a callback to 2/LJ having evil scammer versions of the protagonist
Would be fun. Also goddamn somehow the chinstrap makes him look MORE like a thumb, how?
>>723656213
Rekieta wasn't his attorney, his attorney was some random estate planning attorney that Rekieta pushed onto him for some reason. But even if he had a really good attorney the stuff that came out in discovery did not make him look good.
>>723656345
Probably the peak of 00s/10s fandom convention culture arrogance. These people thought they were A list celebrities because a bunch of smelly nerds invited them to conventions to talk about characters they didn't write and didn't even originally voice lmao.

How much longer you reckon until Gianni gets found out to be some kind of pedophile or other shit comes out on him?

I think he escaped pretty lightly when he just nuked his X account to flee to TroonSkies, considering all the weird unhinged shit he used to post on there that he never got any huge severe backlash for. Just some pockets of criticism here and there, but most of it got drowned by he underaged cock suckers.

>>723656473
>Why is he culturaly appropriating a japanese custom as yakuzas?
whats wrong with that

>>723653374
Because the average jap doesn't care unlike /vpol/ who constantly thinks about the trannies etc. Japs aren't npcs who rage about Koreans and chinese doing japanese stuff in america

>>723656637
majima doesn't have body hair. shave.

>>723652887 (OP)
To be honest this series is dreadful after kiwami 2

>>723653374
the fact that they replaced kurylo with a person who
>gave a worse performance
>didn't even match the ethnicity of the character he was acting as
is pretty frustrating. it's not like kurylo gave an oscar worthy performance as kiryu in 7, but he still fit the character well enough and never seemed to display any issues with continuing to reprise the role. the only reasons i could possible think of for the replacement are
>having an eceleb voice the character will cause our game to have a greater pull!
or
>he's asian; good enough!
normies seems to generally slurp it up outside of a few dissenting voices though, so i suppose it "worked"

>>723653392
He's asian

>>723652887 (OP)
I thought he hated to perform as an asian character. Good to know he embossed it

>>723654273
I love Japan and Japanese culture. I also think Yakuza is one of the most cringe turds the country has ever produced.
It's a childish mockery of real cool things that retarded weebs insist is actually cool.

>>723653610
Real humans do not have to have anything to do with the characters they voice. The voice actor for Bart from the Simpsons is a woman. Phil Lamarr is a black man who voiced a popular western animated japanese swordsman. Do you understand what fiction is or do you not?

>>723655890
i already know he has no chin to speak of but this makes it look even more comical, holy shit

>>723660583
The faggot youtube chink they got to voice Kiryu was 100% just a diversity hire that was willing to work cheap. I usually prefer dubs because that's the language I speak, but this fag makes Kiryu sound like a nerd doing an ill fitting generic anime voice instead of a hardened bad ass like he's sounded for the past fucking twenty years.

>>723661029
Its getting incredibly difficult to understand what the core issues are with people like you when you call an asian man a chink because you dont like bow he voiced an asian character and you also call him a diversity hire for being asian but not the right kind of asian

>>723655374
Beer/vegetable oil belly fat IMO. Also depends on the person

Why are American Asians so often very rude and entitled compared to regular Asians in China and Japan and Korea?

>>723661184
My issue is that English Kiryu sounds like a faggot and it's his fault. The other stuff should be irrelevant but he clearly only got the job because he works cheap and is at least some sort of asian. They clearly weren't picky as long his eyes were squinty.

>>723661280
Because American Asians are the least desired people in the US, well, the males anyway. So they have massive chips on their shoulders and consider marrying a 5/10 white woman a win for all Asians.

>>723658949
id rather be kuze. i do shave it on occassion if i really want to show the tattoos at a pool party or something

>>723655890
he looks so easy to draw it genuinely looks like he doesnt have a chin here

>>723652887 (OP)
fat pig

>>723660873
I've always believed that it was funded by the actual yakuza for a long time in order to whitewash them. There's barely any "being a yakuza is really bad and they are abusive" stories in the series anymore. They're all noble antiheroes. Don't even get me started on what the message of Yakuza 7 is and how it makes organized crime look good and people wanting safety and security look like Hitler.

>>723661826
>Majima he surprises Kiryu at the Smile Burger for the tenth time this week

>>723661826
All the fat went to his neck apparently. I mean, he's still fat but you'd think this level of chin belonged on someone even fatter.

>>723653392
That's one ugly mofo

>>723662136
This build would have saved Kirk

He's not fat he's like slightly over the average. That's what is so weird, his head is like 2x the size it should be so he just looks fat

Sega marketing is convincing me not to touch anything RGG studios have made since Yakuza 7.

Is there an actual reason why /v/ hates this guy other than because he's fat?

>>723662515
That's the thing right, just being a skinnyfat nerd would be predictable and not that funny, but the head makes him look morbidly obese.
Is he like 1,40m tall or something. Like he has to be absolutely tiny for the head to look that big even accounting for him being a bit pudgy.

>>723661826
wow, the resemblance is uncanny

the Mad Dog of Shake Shack...

>>723662636
You're in luck, bro. They're making more trailers for these games catered to us western bros! :)

>safety and security look like Hitler.
safety and security should not come from the corrupt who have abused power or done dirty deeds to achieve it. That inevitably will produce further state protected corruption that while less obvious than the yakuza are in every way the same thing.
That you can't see or understand that shows only that you are fundamentally stupid, or evil.

>>723663226
Why should I care if the people who make it so I don't have to live next to bums and whores are corrupt? I want the bums and whores gone, I don't care if they're in bed with big business or something.You're offering me the choice between corruption with a shitty life and corruption with a good life. Are you dumb?

Didn't even take much to reveal your inner degeneration did it? You are a disgusting rotted corpse.

>>723663095
This is the most Reddit-coded thing I have seen all year, impressive. Just missing calling Kiryu a "trans ally" or going "yikes" at the Haruka/Saejima scene in 4.

>>723663095
I don't get it. Why hire that guy specifically to do the ad?
Does he have some kind of connections in the industry or what?

>>723663562
Call me all you want but I rolled my eyes so fucking hard at the "nooo the prostitutes have bad lives because they're immigrants and its so hard they can't do anything else :(" shit. You know what would solve their plight? Fucking going back home. I don't have sympathy. The game had to make Kume and Masato so cartoonish in how they enacted simple right wing policy because if they actually showed how it is done IRL no one would disagree with it. IRL no government would even need to collaborate with organized crime. They could just deport the problem immigrants and arrest any natives.

>>723654407
>taken seriously in Japan

It's one of the worst selling series in SEGA's catalogue. It's a pet project game for goofballs. Nobody takes it seriously and it has substantially more fans outside of Japan than in it. It's international sales are like 30x it's domestic and it still barely has 10 million sales in total across the entire series. It's ridiculous how poorly it does compared to how many games get made.

>>723662738
It's wild because he's not even fat. He's just asian so literally all surplus body weight goes straight to his face and neck. Dude is unironically skinnier than like 90% of posters.

>>723653374
China and Korea desperately want to be Japan. No gives a single shit about their countries so they pretend to be Japanese to make money.

>>723653374
Most of them want to be japanese despite hating japan, unironically

>>723653392
He's fat

>>723665323
proof?

Haha that's so pathetic. What a flop. I can't believe /v/ likes this game. More like Yaktanic. Or Titakuza. LMAO

>>723667526
It was funny.

>>723668023
I guess.. if you're 5.
That Ate and Date don't sound alike throws the whole joke off for me.

>>723667206
>>723667560
Goddamn that is pathetic. How do they justify spending years making an 80+ hour RPG?
