In light of the recent Ion Fury and HEARTBEAT controversy, we'd like to remind you all that we do not condone homophobia/transphobia/racism or hate of ANY kind. Honestly, it's hateful devs like these that give studios like our ObakeNekoWorks a bad name...

Okay. So, we have stupid people putting in dumb jokes and stabs at certain people for no reason. Sounds like everyday life on Earth to me... (I hadn't heard those two slurs before now and one of them makes me think of a bag of sticks but that's because I use that word in its' original meaning)
And now I'm hearing Cavemen Rejoice in my head... ('Sharpen your Sticks!') -
I don't really think those devs really reflect on you Tobi, but I understand the sentiment!
Though personally, whenever I hear of a controversy like this I do wonder how many people actually research the original content and context of the hateful comments in question. Because honestly, I won't say people need thicker skin (because that's dumb and just dismisses the issue as unimportant, and it's not), but it's way WAY too common for humans to sorta jump on hearsay and start huge witchhunts over things. And that often makes the situation worse.
I mean, when I searched about these controversies, I couldn't really find much detail about what was actually said and the context behind it. Granted I didn't look too hard, but I can't help but wonder how many people read "x makes transphobic comments' somewhere and gleefully got out their torch and pitchfork without a second thought. Probably too many. Isn't that sort of doing the same thing that homophobic/transphobic people are doing?
I think the unfortunate thing is some people sort of end up being 'transphobiaphobic' and end up hating transphobic people just as bad as transphobic people might hate trans people. For understandable reasons mind you, but it doesn't actually solve anything. But way too often it seems to me that humans are more interested in assigning blame and having someone to point a finger at then actually solving problems.
