In an interview on Token Game Show 2024, Japanese developers express their frustration over UN-driver agendas. According to them being forced to comply with these pressures has threatened their creative freedom. They refer to these agendas as narrow-mindedness, which lets down their creativity.
Their approach to compliance is very narrow minded…doing business with such a ridiculous country is really frustrating. Because of that, Japan gets negatively influenced. – Japanese game developer
🚨 MUST WATCH: Japanese Game Developers are frustrated at the forced ridiculous UN driven Globalist agenda compliance they have to include in their game.

Several changes in character customization in Japanese games, such as Dragon Quest and Baldur Gate 3, have ignited these concerns. In Dragon Quest the characters options have been obscurely labeled as “Type 1” and “Type 2” which was initially a choice between “male” or “female” characters. Similary, there is no mention of gender in Baldur Gate 2, only the body type 1 or 2.
According to the developers, these changes have taken away the identity of a large population to satisfy the concerns of the minority.
