I'm conflicted about people saying the accents in #Cyberpunk2077 are racist. I know people from different cultures don't -have- to have accents, but many of them are voiced by people representing those cultures. How can you expect a Japanese native not to have a Japanese accent?

The issue, it seems to me, isn’t that the Japanese characters who come from Japan have accents, but rather the larger way in which they and other people of color are positioned as outsiders and used to add exotic flavor to the game world. Here’s a good thread about the issues:https://twitter.com/Kavaeric/status/1338554914218369024 …

Like, most of the Asians you meet are either Arasaka or Tyger Claws. Where are all the Asian Americans whose families have been in the US for generations and who sound more like V?
