Forza Horizon 6 Continues Western Game Studios Aversion To Asian Males In Asia
After Assassins Creed Shadows and Ghost of Yotei, we have another game from a western game studios set in Japan that doesn't want any main characters to be Asian males.
Assassins Creed Shadows broke the tradition of previous games giving you a male and female version of the same character to shoehorn in a "black samurai", with their "historical consultants" being a white sexpat ESL teacher larping as a historian who edited wikipedia to cite himself, and a WMAF female who specializes in historical man-boy relations.
Then Ghost of Yotei decides to switch out the previous Asian male protagonist because his "story was done", despite both the game and the character being hugely popular. Anyone who played and finished the story would know his story is far from done, and he is synonymous with the game.
And now we have Forza Horizon 6, finally coming to Japan and doing exactly what we expect. While the main focus of the game is cars, your character gets two friends as guides. One is a westernized Japanese female and the other is some British twit. Of course you do run into Japanese male characters, but they get the Mr. Miyagi treatment and speak with thick accents.
Do not support western game studios, they are as bad as other western media when it comes to this nonsense.
