Why do westerners tend to downplay Japanese video game narratives? Why do they talk as if "show don’t tell" were the only right path? Why does the west love gatekeeping and deciding what is "high" (book) and "low, for the people" (video game)?
>>729237249Because a Western country (USA) is the country with the most soft power.Everything Internet important is USA-based.Streaming: Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Peacock, YouTube, Twitch, HBO Max, Paramount+, et all.Social networks: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, BlueSky, Reddit.America is also the only country whose movie studios have branches worldwide. China, Japan and Europe aren't even close.Hell, even 4chan is American.

>>729237492Something else, the leading licensed engines?USA-based, as well. Unity and Unreal.
>>729237249West came up with it the entire concepts of high art and the like.
>>729237492>Peacock>BlueSkyi've never heard of either of these and I'm a terminally online American.
>>729237249Show don't tell gets misused a lot by retards that heard it and think it's the end all of writing
>>729237249Because they don't want to have to watch a bunch of new media to be "up to date" and if they start accepting Japanese media they won't be able to reasonably stop.
>>729237249It's not just video games, westerners downplay anything nips do no matter what You know that strawman pic with the jak that says>place>place, japanfor most westerners it's the same but in reverse, they get mad whenever you try to take anything japanese seriously and immediately call you a pedophile weeb, funniest thing is that they don't realize they're the exact strawman they call everyone else

>>729237654Bluesky is what everyone on 4chan clips posts from to make OPs.Peacock is NBC's streaming service, and anyone who watched broadcast TV once in their lives should know this.
>>729237863Shut up, pedophile weeb.

Have you not read nor watch any their stuff? Their writing is juvenile and surface level at best.
>>729239804I don't, but I'm not American either. Funny just know I notice it is indeed a peacock.
