kadokawa is not just the publisher of rpg maker. it owns japanese media. this corporation is impossible to avoid. asking translators to boycott kadokawa is like asking them to quit translating japanese media.
kadokawa funded elden ring for god’s sake. are you going to tell everyone to stop playing that game and fromsoft’s catalog. if you want to be serious, this is what you have to do:
good luck.
....Shouldn't have read the god damn comments
I was hoping to find MORE people calling them out. I did not.
Ooooh...yikes. Kadokawa should not have had so much power over Japanese media to begin with. :/
Yeah, this fucking sucks. Kadokawa did a BL exhibition and how it related to queer rights in Japan in May. At the end of the exhibit, there was a comment wall with hundreds of post-its saying, “support queer rights” and “marriage equality now.”
It’s like whiplash seeing those words written on the walls of their museum and then them defending the book with bogus facts about LGBTQ people.
kadokawa is a mega corpo so it probably has different factions. my guess is that someone in the publishing team really likes the book and it may not sit well with other people in kadokawa
This is why ethical consumerism is, and will always be, a farce. Companies can easily get around it by buying up smaller companies.
The only way to fix it? Direct action.
