I'm SHOCKED the creator of Dead or Alive would say stuff like this

The early 2000s were wild, a dev could just say shit like this in interviews and still get treated like a gaming celeb with magazines shooting ego-stroking promo videos where he plays with swords while wearing sunglasses indoors.

You'd never get a director like Tomonobu Itagaki today because of woke mind virus cancel culture!!!

I'm watching Grim Beard's new video on the Tekken spinoff Death by Degrees which includes a funny tangent about the one-sided feud between Tomonobu Itagaki and Katsuhiro Harada where he shows this interview

Dude had a sexual harassment lawsuit against him too.
- I don't think I've ever been less surprised by a piece of information before. People sometimes call him the Japanese Tommy Wiseau but I don't think Tommy's ever been a sex creep
  
  On the disaster artist book they mention the actress playing Lisa being very uncomfortable by Tommy being fully naked for their sex scene, and I don't remember if he demanded her being naked, too.
  So he has at least a very warped view of what consent looks like, but that seems to be par for the course for Hollywood.
Rubs eyes. I fucking hate that I mechanically love this series.
It could just answer "Yes." and came back less creepy.
Yeah that was a good GrimBeard video. Loved how Harada apparently was disappointed when Itagaki quit because he found his antics funny.
When I was 27, 17 year olds were like children to me, how the hell do any of these creeps find them attractive?
It's a power dynamics thing, isn't it?

  You fail to take into account that might be precisely why these creeps find them attractive
  
  :disgust:
In a better world this would be intresting to explore. He has a point. Generations prior to ours were raised with a national age of majority around there. We have pushed our concept of majority up but I don't think we actually treat anyone any better. I dunno if liberal theory has the ability to improve this situation so I am not optimistic about the mass discourse
